[And she says that now, but what if she needs someone to do a murder for her? Sanji's just saying! Maybe ring him up to do her dirty work]
Anyway, lemme see...
[His focus reorients itself, as does his gaze, giving the counter a clear sweep before he heads over to the fridge]
You ever heard of Jianbing? What it is, the steps to make it? Not that you gotta know all the details to appreciate good food, but if you're gonna cook, you're doing the dish a disservice if you don't consider everything that brought it into existence.
that said she's going to try to move out of his way, leaning against the counter for now while he gathers ingredients so they don't need to move around each other]
[she's going to go ahead and reach into her fanny pack that she wears like a satchel, unzipping it and bringing out a knife wrapped in cloth. she offers it to him, handle first]
I wasn't going to let you take it from me. [for the record]
Any chance you've seen any of the others? I've found eight, including mine.
A few. I've cut some deals so they're on loan from me.
[FROM HIM, AS IF HE OWNS THEM. And yet he says this without a hint of irony. Anyway with the knife now in his hand, Sanji returns his focus back to the counter and finally starts gathering up the ingredients he'll need.
It's quite a list: flour, soy milk, some eggs, black bean sauce, chili pepper sauce, and a few other components.]
Nah, it's fine~! I can tell you what I know for free.
[He sees no point in hounding a lady for what she knows when he can just as easily do the legwork himself. ]
Let's see... Well, that Taako asshole has definitely got a knife on him, though he wasn't really subtle about it, either. And uh, while this isn't someone's whose got a knife, mark Yasusada off your list. He's clean.

[honestly lili is the one getting the short end of the stick here, he dares turn around and wiggles in front of her like a worm on a hook]
Please, call me Sanji, a Servant always available to aid you in your endeavors, Miss~!
no subject
she raises a hand to make him stop]
Lili. Just Lili is fine, and I don't need a servant of any sort so stop that.

[Oh, he's -- teaching teaching her, apparently]

[REPEATED,,,,
that said she's going to try to move out of his way, leaning against the counter for now while he gathers ingredients so they don't need to move around each other]
... no, I haven't. Tell me?
[a beat]
And do you need a knife?
no subject
hm
Sanji needs a moment to just stare in both surprise, appreciation, and concern]
So you're one of the ones who took one, huh...
[A SIGH]
Well, I can't very well ask it back from you. A lady needs to be able to protect herself.
[...]
But yeah imma need one for this.

I'm assuming there's ten or so on the loose.
no subject
Twelve.
Can I ask which ones you've located? If you're so fixated on finding them for your culinary purposes and claim ownership... I'll trade you.
no subject
But he looks up, bemused?? Trade?]
Wait, what are we trading, Lili-ch-- uh. Lili?
[God that sounds rude as heck but he was listening to her request through all of his squealing. Amazing.]
no subject
Information.
It comes at a price, doesn't it? But if you're looking for knives and I am as well, we might as well trade what we know.
no subject
[With a thoughtful hum before he shakes his head]
Nah, it's fine~! I can tell you what I know for free.

no subject
Clean...?
no subject
I mean he's not gonna be one of the people whose got one. Even if I hadn't verified, that's not really how he conducts himself.
no subject
... you speak awfully confidently about him.
[did you know sanji is nicer about yasusada than his own canonmates]
no subject
[Sanji's a loser who is happily smiling about Yasusada because he's fond of a sword puppy, don't judge him]
He's pretty straightforward so try and be gentle with him if you could.
no subject
[she tilts her head]
I'm not gentle with most people - but I at least never intend to be misleading.
no subject
[Spoken like someone who has... watched this happen, perhaps, though Sanji keeps his smile even]
So you know Tonbokiri, or Tsurumaru, or Ookurikara?
no subject
Tsurumaru and Ookurikara were in the previous setting with me. Tsurumaru is... a friend...
[that word took too long to get out]
And Ookurikara and I are courting.
[why was that so much more casual]
