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.]

I'm assuming there's ten or so on the loose.

[coastal]

[she watches, even as she gently corrects:]

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.

[concasse]

[A low whistle of appreciation at her correction, damn girl.

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.]

[coastal]

[she tenses at first when he seems like he's going to start with her - before nodding in acceptance at her name.]

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.

[concasse]

Oh, that.

[With a thoughtful hum before he shakes his head]

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.

[coastal]

[what the heck sanji - she looks surprised, and almost distrustful? CAN SHE REALLY BELIEVE THAT HE'S THAT MUCH OF A DOG FOR WOMEN]

Clean...?

[concasse]

[SORRY HE'S TOO BUSY FOCUSED ON HIS FOOD AGAIN, but put a leash on him because... yeah. Yeah.]

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.

[coastal]

[WHY IS SANJI FUCKING LIKE THIS]

... you speak awfully confidently about him.

[did you know sanji is nicer about yasusada than his own canonmates]

[concasse]

We both came from the same place -- the castle of fairy tales.

[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.

[coastal]

... I'm familiar with some of his comrades, because we came from the same place. The village in the center of the universe.

[she tilts her head]

I'm not gentle with most people - but I at least never intend to be misleading.

[concasse]

That'll do. Yasusada doesn't need coddling, just not anyone riling him into hasty decisions.

[Spoken like someone who has... watched this happen, perhaps, though Sanji keeps his smile even]

So you know Tonbokiri, or Tsurumaru, or Ookurikara?

[coastal]

[ . . . hmmmm. she nods, keeping that in mind.]

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]
