[ sanji & jae-ha have dinner dates ]
i'll put something pretty and gay here later!!
She did, actually.
It was the worst day of my life.
[He's exaggerating in some ways, but also - ] I'd spent most of my life running away from the other dragons, never wanting to find them, or agree to being a part of whatever prophecy had been laid out. It goes against everything that I love, everything that I wish for myself, to be part of someone else's plan.
And yet - when she came to find me, this reincarnation of the fallen King, my blood was set on fire, like it knew that she was the person I was meant to follow.
[ . . . and he just huffs a laugh.]
I chose to follow her of my own accord - but it was a reminder that hard as I try, there's something written in my blood for me to obey.

[Goddamn, it was a lady and his own blood put a leash on him.
Sanji... looks a little apologetic, like he's aware the universe fucked up on this one.
What a cruel fate for a pirate]
... Is there a chance if you fulfill this prophecy, the curse will end?

[And Jae-ha will just laugh faintly at that - ] It wouldn't have felt right to thank you with anything other than a smile.
[but
aside from that, he doesn't force his cheeriness. instead he takes his seat and taps his fingers on the dining table]
... I would like to borrow your energy. For some reason it just escapes me today.

Yeah, well...
[Three people did die today. Another one almost critically injured. Sanji's just an outliner who thrives on taking care of others.]
Shit got... painful to watch.
[...]
And then half the castle's suspicious of you on top of things. [His gaze flickers, turning sad, staring into the pot of dumplings he's making.] Everyone's really on edge.

[And Jae-ha just manages a tilt of his head.]
... are you trying to get me to hope for longer than I have? That's a dangerous game, Chef.
[When Jae-ha is someone who fights against fate in all things that he does - and yet this is the one thing that he wonders might be inevitable, after what he's seen, after what he's endured.
After the chills he gets when he has a dream about losing his legs.]

I wouldn't say they're suspicious of me - it's only the people who lack the ability to piece together the puppet's effects and my own well-being. Critical thinking might benefit them.
[salty.]
Everything else... I'll endure. Even if I did receive a majority vote... my only hope is that somehow Sousei would be exempt from sharing my misfortune.

Of course my life has value. It's why I try to make every single moment count.
[It's why he doesn't fear death - and why he charges into things almost recklessly so long as it means that he can live with himself, should he be able to survive to the outcome.]
But you don't need to try to convince me to have hope. I'll fight until my dying breath, whenever that is.
... but I suppose I just wanted you to know.

[Jae-Ha, that tea was scalding. Sanji isn't gonna say shit in defense of whoever voted for him, either - just snort in agreement]
More likely you got framed. Tell me you haven't been pissing people off behind my back.
[Sanji you sound like a housewife]
In any case, we gotta be careful from here on out. Whoever's looking after the partnerless... their ability probably has limitations.

It's possible that I did - but if someone's so mad about temporary love potions that they'd like to see me dead, then I merely made a poor choice of evaluating their stability.
[also careless!!]
But you're not wrong.... I can't think why they'd only choose to save two, if they had the option for everyone.
[ . . . and also not to save 2B or Rapunzel at that.
Jae-ha's expression goes distant for a moment, but he reins it back in quickly.]

For some reason it kept coming up and it was getting to be more of a hassle to hide it from you than I thought to just admit it.
[Jae-ha's a surprisingly open book as is - and in the case of Sanji, he's willing to talk about the other things that he feels like holding closer to the chest.]

[Yeah...
Yeah.
For all Sanji's energy and general stability given the circumstances, Rapunzel's death is... hard to dwell upon. He has nothing against Ion or Souji.
He still can't believe they were chosen over one of the sweetest girls in the castle.]
I know this is a shot in the dark, but you got any idea who has that ability here?
[To protect them? To interrogate them? He's not sure.]
Yeah.

[Jae-ha shakes his head - ]
I don't. And being on the receiving on the end of their power doesn't provide any clues, unfortunately. I've been looking since my own neck was on the line.
[ . . . ]
I just don't know if it's safer for them to stay anonymous, or if it's worth looking.

... Probably the former.
[Pulling back from his work again, and Sanji rests his hands on the counter]
Let's face it -- there's not a lot any of us can do to protect each other, unless we got an ability that lends itself to that shit.
[He's... had to make peace with that fact]

[ . . . . ]
What do you think I'm going to do...
Alright.
[Though at that, Jae-ha seems to take a moment, to consider... and then he'll raise his hands and make a swirling motion. In the space in front of them, an illusion will appear of a lively, beautiful, colorful coral reef. Fish swim all around it, their scales reflecting against the light in the water.]
