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.]

[concasse]

[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.

[alttitude]

[ . . . well.]

Didn't most of us? More of us than expected - if the tapestries dripping ink really does tell us who killed before.

[It's always desperation.

Incentives.]

[concasse]

Hn. Yeah, true.

[Can't argue with that. They got some killers in their midst, but that's part the course for pirates. It's why Sanji was never interested in that realization to begin with.]

... Guess I'll just keep an eye on 'em. That's all I can do, really.

[alttitude]

.... well, you're not alone in that either.

[ . . . ]

I'm glad you told me.

[concasse]

Eh?

Why?

[For someone who can be so astute, it's moments like these were Sanji is just... painfully unaware]

[alttitude]

If I try to get too close to Zelos, he at least bites back so I know when I hit too close to a mark.

But you - you'll just lie or dodge the subject, probably.

[pirates.]

I already told you that you have honesty problems.

[concasse]

... Thanks for that shitty vote of confidence.

[Deadpan]

[alttitude]

[Jae-ha can't help but laugh at that.]

Well you know, I'm just an incredibly honest person.

[concasse]

Sure you are.

[Jae-Ha you're in this sad slut trio for a reason.

But hey, he's been successfully distracted, and even notes it with some distant surprise. An exhale, and he shakes his head.]

Well, you're a damn good listener, I'll give you that.

[alttitude]

... if people can rely on me, the Captain would be happy.

[It's easier if he just places it based on his relationship with Gi-gan.]

But I'm glad you think so. You know where to find me if you need anything.

[he'll regret this at like 2 am later this night]

[concasse]

Tch, be proud of yourself, idiot. There's a reason so many people like you.

[Smiling broadly for a moment]

But yeah, yeah, I hear ya.

[1/2]

[alttitude]

[ . . . do people like him?

He seems to be stunned by that for a moment.]

[alttitude]

[And then he snorts.]

Well - I suppose there are worse fates.
