[It's some time after the trial - but Jae-ha has a place to be.
Hence why he's strolling into the kitchen, yawning because he hasn't slept in god knows how long, but still. Strolling. Alive. Breathing. It comes with a pleased little hum as he announces himself:]
[Which is. So goddamn lazy of a meal in the scheme of things. He should be ashamed. Except he also slept like piss the night before, and even though he's free of that moody cloud from the night before, he gives himself another couple of hours before he's passed out somewhere.
But hey, that's for later. In the now he'll almost smile when Jae-Ha greets him]
Come now, I have to set the table still - can't have you doing all the work here.
[sanji is still doing most of the work here.
but jae-ha will go and get the plates, the utensils, start setting things up and honestly he's going to push his luck and see if he can find another candle because this is just how their meals together are going to be now]
[THIS FACE, Jae-Ha, he knows damn well you're full of shit and just messing with him.
He'd also rather dump his face in lava than admit the truth so here he is, huffing and returning to a greased pan, already cooking up the vegetables he diced earlier.]
Same to you. Must be nice strolling out of death row.

Oh Chef! What's on the menu today?

Adore that guy, who wouldn't?
[A man he has not EXCHANGED WORDS WITH ONCE. The best they got was a manly nod of respect]
no subject
[jae-ha, your priorities]
Either way, it's nice to see you with lifted spirits.

jae-ha just hums]
It's the usual.
Though that's not to say that I'll take the usual without gratitude - any additional time I get to spend with you is a gift. ♥

[Every other phrase out of this guy's mouth is suspect. Sanji wonders what it says that he can't even be angry about it right now.]
Just don't get your neck stuck in the noose again. Cardia-chan was really worried!
no subject
[ - that one he feels a bit worse about. He hums faintly at that, as if trying to buy time for what he wants to say next.]
She's... a very kind girl. Seeing her face all streaked with tears like that - it rattled me, you know?
[even if he can't quite say
if that's a good or a bad thing]
no subject
[No mercy from Sanji. And besides, focusing on Cardia's tears mean they don't need to discuss... anything else.]
... But it's fine. You're not dead, so she can go to bed tonight relieved.
no subject
Everyone in this castle is just very....
Easily attached.
[ya ok]
no subject
[A distant shrug]
I don't blame any of 'em for getting attached... most of 'em have never had to think about death like this before, either.
no subject
Yet here's Jae-ha - ]
Does that mean you'll finally admit that you've gotten attached to me too?
no subject
[N E V E R]
Do I look attached to you?!
[Somewhere in a corner of the castle, Cardia is shaking her head in disappointment]
no subject
If he answers yes will he still get dinner?
Time to find out.]
Yes.
