[There's no way for Baren to know what Sanji intends on saying next but he tilts his head a bit at the reframing. A thoughtful expression passes his face before he settles on a grin, gently amused. Whereas there was the open mockery before, there's just a glimmer of pleasant surprise.]
.... You know, I'm not as shocked as I thought I'd be.
[at the openness to helping, he means. He'll take it.
He moves to wash the wine glass that he borrowed, grabbing the one Sanji used too because he's not a fuckin slob.]
[... He'll take Baren washing the dishes without complaint. That gives Sanji time to collect himself, make it a little less obvious that he prefers staring at the wine bottle suddenly, slowly turning it in his hands while what's little left sloshes around.
It's not a matter of being accommodating, that he's mindful of. It's just some basic upkeep, a preference to stay on Baren's good side. He wasn't lying - Zoro and the crew both can go to hell for all he cares.
Sanji doesn't live in the past. And besides, that ship sailed years ago.]
Nah, I'm good. [Picking himself off the floor, he puts the bottle away. Might as well save the rest for dinner]
[Breezily, a staple response without any real bite to it. It also probably doesn't mean much since he plans on leaving now anyway, wiping off his hands and running one through his hair idly. He got the information and confirmation he wanted, and checking up on Sanji went well enough too. He seems.... okay?
That said, Baren does remember the funk that Zoro found himself in when he was still without his crew. Nightmares, longing, shoving himself to the brink of death.... and while he can hope that Sanji isn't also prone to that sort of idiocy....]
Hey, don't be a stranger, fucker.
[ - it doesn't hurt to say, you know? but he'll otherwise give a wave of his hand and walk out without another word.]
