LOL we have both reached peak laziness

[concasse]

... Haru?

[... Maybe that's just a Japanese word? Sure, he put emphasis on it like you would a name, but...]

we make ourselves suffer much

[fabrefactions]

Haru.

[ Now THAT he understood. ]

[concasse]

Aaaah, figures you'd know her.

What, you two dating?

[fabrefactions]

[ Oh and now we're back to stuff he doesn't understand. After a moment, he sighs. For the bff, he will take this loss. ]

I assume we didn't just randomly repeat Haru's name back and forth for the fun of it.

[concasse]

[YEAAAAAA HE WINS HE... HE...

Ah to hell with it. Even if in name, Haru continues to have this subduing effect on Sanji -- like he's been reminded of purity made flesh, and thus can't understand why the universe allows lesser men to exist.]

So you know her? Short girl, curly hair?

[fabrefactions]

[ Haru is a blessing upon this earth. It's true. Also tiny and terrifying, but you will learn, Sanji. You will learn. ]

Yes, that would be her. Half-French, gifted florist and baker. Also the person who kindly translated your "insults" when you first messaged me.

[ You will learn. ]

[concasse]

[W H A T]

Oh you shitty cheat, I knew something was weird!

Don't bring your girlfriend into our fights, that shit's in poor taste!

[fabrefactions]

[ A sad, tired, almost audible squint at his phone. ]

Firstly, Haru is not my girlfriend.

Secondly, I will utilise resources and kindly given favours as I like, thank you.

[concasse]

Oh?

[Huh. Too bad, that would've been cute, at least--

Oh shit wait--]

Well that's good, because I need a favor suddenly.

[fabrefactions]

It is a common misconception.

[ Oh whoops he's gone temporarily deaf and can't hear anything. ]

I said kindly given, not opportunistically taken.

[concasse]

Shit, at least hear me out!

[BE A PAL?]

[fabrefactions]

[ This long silence indicates he is listening. Go on. ]

[concasse]

... Don't have her translate any of this.

[And before Yusuke cant even open his mouth:]

Just trust me, don't translate it! It was whatever dumb bullshit you assume I was saying.

[fabrefactions]

...

[ SUSPICIOUSLY SPECIFIC REQUEST. ]

That just makes me want to ask her to translate it, if I am honest

[concasse]

Listen, I'm trying to spare us both the agony here.

Haru sounds like she's close to you, so let's... let's not.

[...]

I'll pay you extra for the commission.

[fabrefactions]

Best friend of 13 years, yes. I would say that's close.

[ squints. ]

I'm assuming there was an insult in there in that case.

[concasse]

Nah.

[Bluntly:]

I'd say those to your face.

[fabrefactions]

I see.

[ Fair enough.

... Although. ]

But now I'm even more curious what you said, if it wasn't an insult.

[concasse]

[... Shit.

Dig that hole deeper, why don't ya]

It's not a big deal, don't worry about it.

Something I can't have getting back to Baren, is all.

[fabrefactions]

[ here, have a shovel. ]

... So it's something embarrassing you don't want a friend to know?

[concasse]

Just this specific friend.

Trust me, he'd find out... bastard always seems to.

HECK

[fabrefactions]

If he's just going to find out anyway, then why am I having to make deals and promises...?

[concasse]

'Cause I gotta take my victories where I can get 'em.

[A pause]

And at least if you swear to secrecy, that marks out you and Haru as potential leaks. I'd have no one to blame but myself in the end.

[fabrefactions]

I wouldn't worry, I didn't record the conversation and unless Haru is psychically listening right now, she won't hear it.

[concasse]

... So I spent five minutes trying to convince you not to share something you couldn't share in the first shitty place?
