Week 5 | Wednesday

[concasse]

[For a chef, Sanji doesn't have that many precious items that he'd go out of his way to hunt down. So long as he can replace his kitchenware, his motto is not to get too attached to any one tool; he can always find something better, he can always work to replace an object.

That said... he does have a particular set of kitchen knives that he's fond of, that only resided on his ship Sunny. Finding them just hanging on one of the foyer banisters like it might fall?

Kinda gets the heart rate going]

Oh-- shit--

[It's probably a trick but to hell with it, Sanji wants those knives. And that's how Cardia will find him, reaching for his set and hopefully not falling off the stairs himself]

Comments

[concasse]

[Sanji's way of dealing with it is pointedly not looking Cardia's direction.

... And, once he's able to breathe through his rage, compose himself--]

Sorry you had to see that.

[Apologize.]

[discardia]

No... please don't apologize.

You didn't do anything wrong.

[concasse]

[A thin smile. He glances away after that, seemingly uncertain of what to say.]

... Well, guess you know the truth now.

[discardia]

... I already knew. When you told me.

[concasse]

Did you?

[A huff of a laugh]

Shit, I'm not much of a liar, am I?

[...]

It's fine. Even though shit ended this way, I... well, there was a time I wasn't with them, so I can't complain about my lot in life.

[discardia]

If it still bothers you, I think it's fine to complain. I'm still... very glad you didn't turn out like them.

[concasse]

Heh, yeah.

Me and my sister are the only ones who are... different, I guess. But she had to save her skin when we were kids, so bullied me, too.

[A shrug. He's not mad]
