But he's going to ignore Sanji's request and instead take the wine glasses now that Sanji's gotten ahold of the bottle, bringing them over to the table with a hum.]
Nope! Let's eat all together - I can't very well satisfy my curiosity with only one half of the question, can I? We'll take care of the glass later.
[THEY SHOULD EAT WHILE IT'S HOT
but then he's joining zelos at the table]
Oh? It suits your tastes? Do any of your adoring fans ever cook for you?
[One would expect Sanji to take Jae-Ha's head for disobeying a direct order, but at most he scowls, shoots the green dragon a look and keeps his mouth shut.
He'll also make his way back to the table. Slowly, and rather mute as he slips into his chair.
... Though bless Zelos for running his mouth; nothing like an asshole to get Sanji talking. He scoffs, hands in his pockets, like he plans to make his plate later]
Tch! Wish I could say the same for you. You keep finding new ways to prove how useless you are.
[ Pointedly ignoring Sanji, instead he takes the bottle of wine on the table and reaches for a spare glass from an unoccupied table setting. ]
Oh yeah, my hunnies cook stuff for me all the time. Valentines Day is the worst— homemade chocolate piled to the ceiling. I of course, never eat any of it though. Shouldn't eat food you don't trust, stranger danger and all.
[ All through this he's pouring wine into the glass he's acquired. And then he sets it down in front of Sanji, who already has his own glass? ]
Here— you drink two, because you're reaaally bringing down the vibe in here. So I'm gonna have to get you to loosen up, one way or another.
[Eyebrow twitching some, and not even because of the alcohol -- just that Zelos mentioned food he left to rot and it takes effort not to start a fight over that. Haha, silly pirate sensibilities.
Thankfully, he's also quickly distracted... by those two glasses filled with wine... thanks partner? Ugh. Sanji sighs so hard his eyes close tight, like he's warding off a headache. It's with that expression in place that he'll reach over, unpocket his left hand, and swipe the first glass up.
Knocks it back.
Briefly opens his eyes to find that other glass and same thing. Wine glass is grabbed, drinking the entire thing down.
After which he'll put the second glass down and sit back, pocketing his hand again to keep it warm. His visible eye slits open]
[ Zelos slides out of his chair and walks back towards the kitchen seeking out the harder stuff. ]
I'll babysit, you two get as drunk as you can bear. We'll test the limits.
[ When he returns he slowly inches the butt of a bottle of rum towards Sanji's face, smushing it against his cheek. ]
C'mon! This is a once in a murder castle chance to let your hair down proper. No one dies till Thursday and if anyone does try anything I'll protect the both of you!
[He's rolling his eyes at the both of ya. Like he wants to be drunk and vulnerable in front of them in particular. Surely nothing can go wrong here.
... Admittedly while he'd probably push back against Zelos, Jae-Ha does have a good point. He hates this week? Unwinding a little isn't the end of the world.
It's with a sigh that he seems to... relent, slouching further in his seat but not voicing anymore dissent.]
Fine, fine. We'll make a game out of it, as per the suggestion our handsome friend here made earlier.
[ The handsome friend is obviously Jae-ha. ]
You both have played never have I ever, right? Someone poses a scenario, if if you've never partaken in the hypothetical in question, you drink. I'll start! Never have I ever been with a man—
[ Oh since they don't have shot glasses, they're all gonna just have to drink from the same bottle, thanks!
Anyway, Zelos pushes the bottle towards the center of the table, making his answer clear and waiting for the other two to make their own answers known. ]
Sanji looks like he plans to put the bottle back on the table because OBVIOUSLY HE HAS BEEN WITH LADIES, only to pause, grimace, staring at the offending thing like it might bite him, glances away--
[ Zelos also does not drink, because obviously he has been laid by all kinds!
So naturally, he is watching Sanji expectantly, mostly so they can get this show on the road and Sanji can ask his question while he's still got some sobriety left in him.
Except. ]
Oh, man— don't tell me.
[ He doesn't even laugh? Not initially, at least. ]
Are you serious? You? Mr. Kisses the Ground every woman in this palace walks on? You've never?
[he was prepared for their laughter but instead they both look to him like Sanji just announced he was orphaned as a child. Holy shit this is much worse.]
O-oi, I'm just waiting for the right one!
[THIS IS SO FALSE SANJI FEELS BAD SAYING IT. Shitty seas. Blanching, he ducks his head.]

[ Because ugh, how's he supposed to be HAPPY around Sanji of all people!! ]
Hey, brows— what's your alcohol tolerance like?
[ He looks to Jae-ha ]
Actually you too. It's kind of weird to imagine what you'd be like drunk since you're already so, y'know.
[ Zelos makes a vague gesture that means absolutely nothing and everything at all. ]
no subject
Care to find out? We can make a game out of it.
[no,,]

I can barely stand one of you at a time; you expect me to deal with both of ya while you shits are intoxicated?

C'mon Sanji, why not? You've been through hell this week.
But come - Zelos, you should have at least a little bit. A glass of wine is supposed to be good for you, isn't it?

He watches Sanji pleasantly instead.
Sanji made a bad choice tonight.]
no subject
[Wow fuck both of ya. BOTH OF YA. If it weren't so obvious he'd be cheating, Sanji would keep his hands folded and out of the way.

My heart is breaking for you partner.
