Week 5 | Wednesday

[concasse]

[But really, what could be more precious to a nicotine addict than a fresh carton of cigarettes?

And it's his favorite brand! Even knowing about the bullshit memory thing going on, this is not a chance Sanji is about to pass on.

Hence why he's standing on his kitchen counters (HIM. ON HIS PRECIOUS COUNTERS), reaching up on tip toe to snatch the cigarettes that peek over the very top of the shelf]

C'mon... almost got it...!

Comments

[concasse]

-- Oh, congrats to that!

[He honestly thought Evan was dating Veronica so HIS BAD. Still, look at Evan. He's got more guts in all departments than Sanji would've ever figured.]

You got someone waiting back for you at home, then.

[selfinserting]

...Thanks.

[And then he smiles, fond and sincere.]

Zoe's... She's really great. I'm really lucky.

[concasse]

Damn right. Make sure to treat her well.

[it seems like Evan will, however, so he just grins broadly instead]

... Shit's tough, but I'm sure you'll make it to the finish line.

[selfinserting]

I will. And... Yeah. We just, just have to make it through this.

[He's curious, though, and it feels impolite not to ask in return after this.]

Do you, um, have anyone like that back home?

[concasse]

[...]

Aa, yeah. I got a fiance!

[Evan might not have ever seen Sanji being wild around ladies, but even still, his reaction is fairly... neutered. Doesn't even reach his eyes.]

[selfinserting]

[A pause, because he isn't sure if this is prying, but... That reaction is fairly telling.]

Is that a good thing...?
