week 7 | saturday

[He was dead for all of five hours but you best believe Sanji's first act upon returning to the living is holing up in the kitchen with a bottle of wine and just... smiling to himself.

He'd still like to nap for a couple more hours, truth be told. He probably shouldn't. The goodbyes are gonna come quick, and he doesn't know what he's gonna do yet]

And I thought I'd be less stressed getting back...

[Muttered to himself, but he'll lift his eyes and meet Belph with a grin]

[Well damn it sure got crowded.

Don't get him wrong; Sanji is ecstatic this all worked out, but he's working on very little sleep and so decides he'll meet people in private for a last goodbye.

Of course Eichi is on his list. He'll leave the kid alone so he can have some time with his boyfriend, but after that, gonna track him down (likely to his room) with a wide grin in place]

Yo.

[If Souji doesn't know he can find Sanji in the kitchen by now, I don't know what to tell this man. Though ironically, he's not cooking! Instead he's made himself tea and is sitting on top of the counters like a heathen, just... gently smiling into the cup.]

Luffy, everyone... I didn't fuck up.

week 7 | Saturday

[Honestly by the time Veronica finds Sanji, he's already got two glasses poured for them, and with a grin, scoots it in her direction.]

One more for old time's sake?

week 7 | saturday

... Hey, Cardia-chan~

[Heeee still feels really bad for disappointing her earlier but hopefully now that they are alive and everything is swell, she will forgive him...!

Yeah, Sanji's feeling better and has his priorities back in order. Also he'd like a nap, but first things first]

Looks like we did it.

week 7 | saturday

[Honest to god, Sanji wants a nap above all other things, but you know how the saying goes -- he can sleep when he's dead which he kinda did but shhhh. Seeing as he's got some people he wants to see first, Sanji puts off the lure of sleep for a bit longer, and upon seeing Rebecca--

He'll give her a hug]

We did it~!

week 7 | saturday

[What a surprise. Sanji is in the kitchen sitting on a counter, a drink of wine in his hands. He doesn't take a sip yet -- just tickles his nails on the glass and hums the song that Ion played for him in the music room.

There's a very tired smile on his face, but all things considered? Yeah... he thinks this is a good ending for them.]

week 7 | saturday

[There's always one surefire way to find Sanji, and that's head to the kitchen and wait. He'll always be strolling in if you give him enough time.

Or alternatively, Sanji is already in the room by the time Yasusada appears, and the chef immediately brightens and offers the other a wave. He's settled on top of the counter, a glass of wine in hand. No cooking for now! He just wants to enjoy the moment.]

Yo.

week 7 | saturday

[it's felt like such a long time since Sanji has smiled from the bottom of his heart. Anyone who finds him in the kitchen will be greeted by his good will, as if a weight has been removed from his soul.

There are still things he needs to consider, and at least for his own personal journey, he hasn't yet come to a conclusion... but the night is young, the castle is alive, and when he spots the Fon Master, Sanji beams and gives him a friendly wave]

Yo.
