[ This one is not so stable lately. First it's the experiment, making her fall in love with someone her best friends hate, but whom she ... really ... er. Likes. Then it's Sora, getting so badly hurt (thanks Yuber) he ends up in the clinic, and despite his protestations, it's probably all her fault. It has to be. She's tired and she's so scared and no matter what she said to Axel, no matter how much everyone is going to worry, she can't stay.

She runs. Again. Into the forest, because it's the easiest place to get lost and the hardest place to be found.

When she finally stops and sits beneath a tree, she looks a mess. All she does is curl up on the ground in a ball, burying her face in her knees, like maybe if she's small enough she can hide from the whole world. ]

Unfortunately that lucky geezer found me hiding behind a cart-full of apples.

But he never did find that hat. Had to buy a new one. [Yeah, that's right. TRIUMPH]

... [ dissolving into laughter forever brb. at least it's real laughter, not sad or stifled. she seems considerably cheered up, even! ]

Awaaah~! What a cute laugh Xion-chwan has~! Like a chorus of spring bells~![it's nice to see he's still damn good at this.

And since the Straw Hat house is actually close to the forest, they're about to approach the backdoor at last]

Now, is there anything you'd prefer to cook?

[ sdlkgjhSJd seriously now. gives him a light shove in the arm, but it's not hard or anything, she's just teasing. ]

It is not! You're just being silly.

[ hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. ]

What about that dessert you mentioned to me during the experiment? That sounded really good, whatever it was.

But I always speak the truth! [he's grinning like a loon though, so how much of that statement is true will be up for debate]

Let's see... a fruit tart of some kind? [hums to himself] Apple Berry Crisp, was it? [opens the door for her]

Except when you're being a big ham! [ sticks her tongue out at him for good measure, then steps inside the house when he opens the door for her. ]

Yep, that was it! [ though she pauses a moment to look around, head tilting ] Who do you live with here, Sanji?

[momentarily sidetracked from the playful conversation by her question]

You might've met some of them already. There's the lovely Nami-san, of course. And that idiot captain of mine, Luffy. Then there's the shithead, Longnose, my emergency food supply called Chopper, and our musician skeleton named Brook.

[the smile of amusement on his face shows he's teasing with some of those introductions, but that still covers them all]

[ UWAH. ]

You know Brook?! I didn't know you guys were friends! [ laughs a little. ] Somehow I feel like I should have figured that out a lot sooner...

[a quiet glance of amusement as he leads her to the kitchen] So you know that bony idiot.

Yeah, he's my crew mate. I'm surprised you don't know more of them.

[fourteen]

Yeah! He's a friend. And really, really tall.

Who else is in your crew, Sanji?

[ are they heading for the kitchen or what. ]
