ok sappy!! ( off screen: secretly extremely pleased he thinks she's so perfect. she isn't, obviously, but sanji's always had rose-tinted, or maybe tangerine-tinted goggles on. ) you look good when you're flattering me.

he hasn't told me anything. other than complaints he has about you, which isn't new.
but i mean
why it is over again? you're missing that part.

yay 🧡 it'll be perfect with you three there.

[ he's missing that part. but how can he explain that everything about this place sets him on edge, that he doesn't feel at home in his own body, that he thinks something terrible is lurking behind the pristine halls and ever-changing rooms? nami is clearly more comfortable here than the less than stellar place they'd come from — and for good reason. his heart aches every time he sees the scars still littering her skin.

he can't explain that this place is just like the vinsmoke mansion, that he swore reiju he'd never go back there, and now he feels like he's walked right through the very same doors. every day the knowledge that there isn't an exit to be found winds a little tighter inside of him. they're trapped. and nami and zoro and even koby don't seem nearly as close to losing it as they should be. ]

it's your birthday. let's only talk about happy things!
like the secret menu for your spa day. you can put in one request, but everything else is going to be a surprise, and i promise you'll love it.

( the avoidance is heard loud and clear. so nami has two choices: she can either get hurt and upset that sanji chose once again to keep her on the outside of his feelings, or she can meddle and probably piss him off again, and make the whole situation a million times worse. obviously the latter is the better choice.

and anyway, it is her birthday. if zoro and sanji don't expect her to meddle, they don't know her at all. )

tangerine tarts? they're my favorite.
