[ sanji & jae-ha, tuesday evening ]

[alttitude]

[ - presumably after Sanji's had some time to sit down to Jae-ha and Gi-Gan. It's toward the evening, when everyone is headed off to sleep, but Jae-ha takes a moment to grab Sanji's attention.]

Sir Chef! Let's have a chat.

[and as if to make his intentions a bit more serious, he adds:]

Pirate to pirate.

[concasse]

-- What the hell is wrong with you?!

[Just. Gonna. Quickly dart into the kitchen.

Don't follow him, pervert]

Just be quiet for two shitty seconds!

[alttitude]

[HE'S FOLLOWING]

I could've sworn you wanted to know about me and Captain Gi-Gan...!

[concasse]

QUIET OR I'LL FUCKIN PAINT YOUR INSIDES AGAINST THE WALLS.

[alttitude]

[He doesn't speak.

Instead he mouths:

'Promise? ♥']

1/2

[concasse]

[W-why is he being punished...?

God, what did he do??

Answer him--!]

[concasse]

[So y'know what? Sanji is going to take refuge in the tried and true silent treatment, stomping into the kitchen without so much as a backward glance.

+_+ He hates you, Jae-Ha.

He hates you the most.]

[alttitude]

[sorry but jae-ha's laughing

he is

sanji's discomfort is funny......]

A clam chowder this time sounds delicious!

[concasse]

-- Just shut up and sit down somewhere!

[Wow that silent treatment did not last]

[alttitude]

Shall I set the table? What's your preferred wine?

[it's a date]

[concasse]

I'll let you set the table as long as you don't make one date joke.

[Fight him]

[alttitude]

Only because you acknowledged I can make them. ♥

[so he won't say anymore

out loud!]

[concasse]

[... He still really wants to kick that smug face in.

Instead, Sanji blows out a sigh, relaxing his shoulders as he finally relents and tells Jae-Ha the wine he wants him to fetch. Something that will pair perfectly with clam chowder, of course.

No, he didn't forget that request. He's already at the kitchen fridge, fetching the cream, the butter, and everything else]

I swear, you're as bad for my nerves as my captain.

[alttitude]

[yaaaaay.

jae-ha will set the table easily, for two. he refrains the urge to grab flowers. candles.

... he might look for candles? but like. subtly.]

Oh? Then you like me more than I thought.

[because sanji must follow and stick with his captain for a reason - ]

What are they like?

[concasse]

An idiot.

[Just right off the bat, easy as you please, breezing back and forth to the different counters he's stocked with food]

Constantly in my way, annoying me, demanding food, won't take no for an answer even when I try to kick him overboard.

[alttitude]

Sounds like a good deal more of a handful than my own captain. I can see why it'd be troublesome if he was here.

[what kind of crew is this if that's their leader...]

But you must respect him.

[or else sanji could just be the captain now,,]

[concasse]

... Me and the crew all got our reasons for following him.

[And he'll say no more on that, pushing past the topic of his captain in order to start cooking in earnest]

Why you'd end up following Gi-Gan?

[alttitude]

[At the very least, he doesn't mind.

also i asked my co-mods and they said i'm allowed to have candles so jae-ha will find castles and wander over to briefly use whatever fire sanji's using to cook to light it, and then place it where he's set the table

;) ]

I arrived at her port town at the end of a long journey. I was looking for a place to stay, after escaping a living hell.

[concasse]

[The worst part of all this is Sanji doesn't even notice what candles could signify, he likes candles, go ahead and light them, Jae-Ha, nothing can go wrong here.]

That right?

[Hm. A pause -- it's rather obvious Sanji is deliberating on asking more questions. Eventually he leaves it up to Jae-Ha to be as vague as he prefers]

Were you on the run then?

[alttitude]

[he will, thanks!! he's actually amused that there's no response? wow. he really has to remember to get flowers next time.

but for now he notices the pause and laughs.]

Are you hesitating? You can ask me whatever you want.

[he.... really likes it when people show an interest in him]

On the run... not anymore, not at that point. I ran away from a place, and then I got to explore the world for a little bit because I'd never gotten to see it before. After that is when I went to Awa.

[concasse]

Unlike you, I'm not nosy.

[Or better said, he's careful about being nosy. Sanji ain't looking to unlock anyone's tragic backstory tonight.]

... Good to hear it, though. Everyone should get a chance to break out and experience the world at some point.

[alttitude]

Is it bad to be relentless about what I want? It merely fits my sense of aesthetics.

[ENDLESSLY PURSUING]

But you're not wrong. The world's a large, beautiful place. I've only been able to stay in one country.... but the idea of seeing more outside of it is nice.

[though it might only be an idea]

How far have your travels taken you and your crew?

[concasse]

[Jae-Ha, endlessly thirsty in all things.

Sounds about right.]

Let's see... [he's got the ingredients to a slow simmer at this point, and so can spare a moment to look over his shoulder] We gotten past the Grand Line -- or the first half of it, anyway. Now we're sailing through the New World on our way to find One Piece.

[Rubbing his chin] So we've been sailing for... eh, for about a year and a half.

[alttitude]

[ . . . . . .

grand line

new world

one piece

]

... so you've traveled very far then.

[concasse]

Wouldn't be proper pirates if we hadn't.

[KANYE SHRUG]

But it's been that way for me since I was a kid. Always on the move.

[alttitude]

Did you have a favorite, of all the places that you've been?

[look he's just chatty]
