... So kind of like Varian's ability in the castle, then.

That's, uh, something.

[concasse]

I don't like it.

[Is it any surprise given the type of person Sanji is?]

... But I'd rather have it than someone else. If worse comes to worst, I'll convict myself to buy us time... just in case something goes shitty in the future.

[axilium]

... Better you than someone who'd abuse it, yeah.

[he nods.]

So, if the evidence points to you, I should play along?

[concasse]

Yeah.

[Without hesitation]

'Course, I'll try to give you a proper heads up if I can, since I'll have to act it out, too...

[axilium]

I'm trying to imagine you acting it out and it's almost a little funny, in a depressing sort of way.

[concasse]

My acting skills are just fine!

[Actually canonically, Sanji seizes up on the stage when he's trying to recite lines. They are so lucky this isn't a play]

All I gotta do is act dodgy and half the group will be ready to incriminate me within an hour.

[axilium]

I dunno, you might end up as Mr. Popular again.

[concasse]

Hell no.

[HE REFUSES]

[axilium]

I don't think you have a choice in the matter!

[concasse]

We've got enough Big Speech types here that I don't want that job!

[The protag list is terrifying]

[axilium]

[he lets out a light laugh.]

We do have a lot of those types here, huh? I was about to ask where they were in the castle, but I guess that was maybe Natsuo.

[concasse]

Between you and me, they would've drove me crazy.

[And Sanji IS a shonen. Just the surprisingly practical, "whelp guess I'll just die" type]

[axilium]

Unfortunately, karma came around and now we have to deal with them here.

[concasse]

Then I'm investing in earplugs.

[axilium]

They'll yell louder.
