[ sanji & jae-ha have dinner dates ]
i'll put something pretty and gay here later!!
[Honestly?
Jae-ha can't blame him.
It's only after he's gone to take care of his business, cleaned his new cuts, bandaged them up, that he goes to the kitchen, fully expecting to find Sanji there. Then he'll wordlessly go to collect another bottle of wine - this poor castle's stock.... - two nice glasses, and then silently fills them both.
He helps himself up to sit on the counter next to Sanji, offering him one without a word.]

[For once? Sanji doesn't bitch, or complain, or say much of anything. He barely glances in Jae-Ha's direction when he takes up space beside him, and the glass is taken into his hands, the stem of it held between his fingers as he keeps staring far away.
...]
Oi, got a question.

I've started to try to feed people in your stead - I have big shoes to fill but I'd like to at least give it a shot before you push yourself too far, you know?
So you'll have to tell me where to improve.
[But he can keep up conversation easily - talking about everything except what actually got Sanji into this state. If that's what he needs, it's fine.
Jae-ha can adapt.]

... There's a bunch of shitty ways of dealing with grief-- uh, I mean... actually shitty ways of dealing with it.
[Without taking a sip, Sanji places the glass to the side. Oh don't worry, he'll drink, just... not right now. Not yet.]
I had a couple of ladies, uh... [Rubbing his neck] They're not really interested in me, and that's fine, I'm not expecting anyone to, but it felt too much like taking advantage of 'em, so...

[ . . . . Jae-ha glances over at that.
Slowly.]
... did you feel odd turning them down?
[Because the thing is - he has a feeling that Sanji turned them down. Maybe it's the sheepish way he's talking about it, maybe it's just generally how he talks about women, maybe it's because he trusts Sanji to have a better sense of timing but.
He's trying to understand.]

I'm still trying to worm his favorite food outta him, but when I say "hot", I mean like... warm dishes.
Nothing cold.
[Zelos has had enough of that, his tone seems to imply.]
Bastard makes it hard to tell what he really likes, sometimes. He never praises my food.

[To which Jae-ha ends up laughing - ]
Ah, he's just that type of person. He probably won't admit that he likes you for a while, because it'll have to mean admitting that there's someone getting close to him again.
And here that's something he could lose.
[gigi's going to hate us when we unlock this pc?]

[gigi's going to hate us when we unlock this pc?]
He puts up with me because it's safer for him. There's a difference.
[oh she is going to hate us so much]
... I told him I was going to the maze, and he insisted he tag along. I'm like an investment he's gotta keep track of.
[There is nothing sad in his voice. Just pragmatics.]
I'm sure getting hurt didn't warm him up to me.

Take - do you mean to be the ones who kill? Or suggest them to be killed?
[But regardless, Jae-ha listens.
Emotionally speaking, he thinks that he's more kept together than most people in the castle today. So he'll just be here to bounce off whatever it is that Sanji needs to say.]

[A slight scoff]
Anyone can kill. Just like anyone can be a victim. Most of it comes down to circumstance.
[But the more vulnerable you are, the easy it is to fall into those roles, and that's why Sanji wonders...]
One of the girls... I wouldn't be surprised if she got desperate enough to kill, for instance. That's just the kind of life she lived.

Only because he thought I was going to die. He's shut me out again, probably because he doesn't trust that I won't use what I've learned against him. I don't know where people could get that impression about me...
[Just saying.
But.]
You know that you're full of -
What's your word...
'Bullshit'?
[even as he keeps diligently cleaning sanji's wounds!!]
