[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~!

[It's hard to hold onto anger when she was so fond of Sanji to begin with. Besides, he really was the one who drew the short end of the stick.]

No more bodies... Are you going to go back home? To your crew?

[concasse]

... Maybe.

[It's not an immediate yes, is it? He's still smiling, but draws back a little bit]

I'm still slated to die when I get home and all that shit... but I guess I could use the ink to change my fate, couldn't I?

[She hums softly.]

Yeah. There was a lot of it, wasn't there? I think you could rewrite something like that without too much of it.

[concasse]

Then I'll have to try, yeah?

[...]

What about you? Going home?

[disclosures]

You should. I'm sure there are people who miss you.

[... She's... not sure about that, actually. It it definitely comes through in her voice.]

I don't know. Maybe? I want to keep looking out for Akechi.

[concasse]

Maybe go wherever him and Eichi are heading?

I assume those two wanna stick together.

[disclosures]

Yeah, I figured. They're pretty devoted to each other.

[Ah. That wasn't the language she spent four years studying though. She knows Mandarin.]

... I'm going to have to learn Japanese, aren't I?

[concasse]

Speaking it isn't too bad, I promise.

... Writing it might be a pain in the ass, though.

[disclosures]

... Have you been speaking Japanese this whole time too?

[Jesus.]

I mean, I know some of it because Mandarin has a similar alphabet but that's going to be such a pain.
