[Sanji is riveting, asshole! Also putting him lower than coursework, that cuts.]

Fine, don't lemme keep you from it.

[IS HE POUTING?]

[fabrefactions]

[ Calling you out in 3... 2... 1... ]

... Are you sulking?

[ Because you sound grumpy. ]

[concasse]

[CAN YOU JUST LET HIM HAVE THIS?]

The hell I am!

Anyway, I got homework too.

[SANJI YOU NEVER GO TO CLASS?]

[fabrefactions]

[ I thought every day was Make Sanji Suffer day? ]

I see.

Then I shall leave you to get on with your homework.

[ What a good student. ]

[concasse]

Yeah, yeah.

[TIME TO GO BE BORED AGAIN]

Later, Intello.

[SO CLOSE, SANJI... So close.]

[fabrefactions]

Now that I am telling Haru about.

[ (◡‿◡✿) (ʘ‿ʘ✿)]

[concasse]

-- Wait wait wait I didn't even mean it as an insult!!

[fabrefactions]

It's not exactly a term of endearment either.

[ Hey look, he waited. ]

[concasse]

Alright, speaking in my defense?

The French have got some weird names for people they like.

[fabrefactions]

[ > doubt. ]

Oh?

[concasse]

Mon canard -- means "My duck."

[HE IS NOT KIDDING FOR ONCE IN HIS LIFE]

Then there's mon petit chou, which is roughly "my little cabbage". [That one's actually a little trickier, the phrase means "my favorite one", but "chou" is the word for cabbage, FRANCE IS WEIRD.]

[fabrefactions]

[ OKAY FRANCE. ]

Really? ...

... why cabbage? A duck I can perhaps understand-- [ He's heard people call their partner or a close, fond friend "ducky" before, but... ] -- but what's endearing about vegetables?

[concasse]

Hell if I know, I didn't pick 'em. And it's better than ma puce.

That one means "my flea."

[He sounds so fuckin amused right now]

You can check this shit with Haru, she'll vouch for me.

[fabrefactions]

[ He is absolutely writing some of these down, yup. ]

Oh, I have permission to recount this part of the conversation to her?

[ Hmm, hmm. ]

A flea? Of all the creatures that could be used, a flea...?

[concasse]

[Sanji, a fuckin adult, sticks his tongue out with no one to see him.] Yes, you have permission.

... I mean, that one's kinda cute.

Je t’aime ma petit puce -- rolls right off the tongue.

[fabrefactions]

How kind. [ Bleh. ]

It sounds cute until you know you're calling someone a flea. Why not something more impressive? Or traditionally cute, if that's the tone wanted...

[concasse]

So damn hard to please. But fine, how about Pioupiou?

That sounds cute, right?

[fabrefactions]

I am already starting to suspect it is not.

[concasse]

Bird noise.

Chicken, I think...?

[Still sounding more amused than he should be]

C'mon, there's gotta be one you like.

[fabrefactions]

...

[ CAN UNIMPRESSED STARES BE AUDIBLE? ]

None of your offerings have exactly been impressive.

[concasse]

[Don't worry, Sanji's sighs take up the space.]

Mon chéri.

It means "my darling".

[fabrefactions]

[ thank you for your hard work. ]

And for a moment there I thought I'd been lied to about that "romantic language" thing by Haru for over a decade.

[concasse]

It's plenty romantic. We got over a hundred terms of endearment.

Just happens that a lot of 'em are food, animals, or random noises that sound cool without shitty context.

[fabrefactions]

Like flea. And cabbage.

[ Seriously. ]

I certainly feel swept off my feet, well done.

[concasse]

[DOT DOT DOT...]

Dieu, tu dois être célibataire.

[MOVING ON.]

Well say it to some cute girl and who knows? You might still get the results you want.

[Pause]

Or guy.
