[ just a thousand yard stare. ]

Shift sideways, I've had enough of clearing people out of cupboards to get to stuff in this place already.

[ bratbats in the cupboard. terrible. ]

[concasse]

[... Still clearly irritated by Ash's presence, but he does in fact shift sideways a bit, enough that the other can enter if he wants. However:]

Slow me down and I'll kick your head in.

[Just. getting that promise outta the way. Lovely personality, this one.]

[voidbreaker]

Stop me from getting at the shit I need, and I'll return the favour.

[ lovely, now they've established that, he's rummaging for s t u f f. ]

[concasse]

Tch.

[That's all the answer he'll give, and immediately sets to ignoring the fuck outta the other blond while he decides on what he wants to make. It seems... well, a little highbrow to make any of his usual dishes... maybe something simple like pancakes.]

Damn, we better have chocolate chips... [He doesn't even like sweet shit that much but stress has warped him into a shell of his former self, he WILL have chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast]

[voidbreaker]

[ ash isn't about to judge either way, he's digging out bread, eggs, bacon, pepper, good stuff for a good breakfast sandwich.

he does pause in his mission of picking things out of the cupboard and putting them on the side-- ]

Catch.

[ think fast, there's a bag of chocolate chips arcing gently through the air towards sanji. ]

[concasse]

[...]

Don't help me. I'm trying not to like you.

[He says casually, all while catching the bag cleanly out of the air while barely looking in the other's direction.]

What's your name, brat?

[voidbreaker]

I mean I can grab them off you and throw them up to the next floor if that helps.

[ he straightens up and starts sorting his own foodstuff regardless. ]

Ash. Yours?

[concasse]

Oh, that would do it.

[Except he can't be mad because Ash helped him and now Sanji has to deal with the consequences. Muttering darkly under his breath]

Tch, everyone's gotta be friendly and shit, I can't even hate someone in peace! This has gotta count as oppression.

[is this man literally complaining about the power of friendship catching up with him? Yes.

... And also:]

Sanji. Pirate chef of the Straw Hats.

[voidbreaker]

Give it like a week, I'm sure some people [ asch-with-a-C ] will do something to piss you off by then.

[ ah. mood, sanji. that's a mood.

...

also that's a lot to unpack there, hold up. ]

Pirate?

[concasse]

Pirate.

[Said very firmly, though Sanji is in a calm enough mood to elaborate.]

No, I don't steal shit from the poor, or take advantage of the weak, or go pillaging villages. [A shrug, and he fishes around for a mixing bowl]

Me and my crew just do what we want, and that happens to piss off the world government. So: pirate.

[voidbreaker]

Huh. There's a couple of pirate stories back home, but I'm pretty sure the Capuas ended up packing it in and running a delivery business instead a few years back.

[ said a little absently. ]

If pissing off the government counts as a prerequisite for being a pirate, then I know a lot of pirates.

[concasse]

Yeah, that's what everyone ends up saying once I explain the shitty particulars.

[A snort]

So what, you saying you don't got pirates back where you're from anymore?

[voidbreaker]

Do all governments just suck by default then, or what?

[ sighs in bitter rl ]

Eh. There's probably some around. The Capuas were kinda famous for their backstory, so a lot of people know about them.

[concasse]

Oh? What shit did they pull off?

[voidbreaker]

Dunno. They were more active over the border - I think they got caught up in some shit that went down in Liberl a couple of years back? After that they went straight, and Capua Delivery started popping up.

They used to be nobility or something. Which is a pretty big deal in Erebonia. But they lost their land and money and ended up doing the whole piracy deal for a bit. Pretty sure Leeves used to be their town, before they lost it all.

[concasse]

[He.

Fuckin laughs.

Straight from the belly, throwing his head back, howling for a good second before calming down and shaking his head]

Is that right?

[Hilarious.]

Well, maybe they're less of assholes now. Humility's not a bad look on nobility.

[voidbreaker]

Never met 'em. Couldn't say. [ that's cold steel 4 territory that is. ]

But I know a couple of nobles I wouldn't forcibly kick out of their gilded mansions, but the majority need a good asskicking back to earth for sure.

[concasse]

That's how it always is -- that kind of wealth is gonna poison the majority of 'em.

[spoken with vague bitterness, but his voice smooths out]

... You ain't a nobleman in disguise, are you?

[Sanji stop]

[voidbreaker]

[ ash literally just laughs at him. ]

Please.

[concasse]

Oi, I just had to check! Damn.

[voidbreaker]

Why? Worried I might whip out a silver spoon and beat you with it if I was?

[concasse]

You kidding me? I'd steal the spoon and leave your corpse on the floor. My crew is always poor as is.

[voidbreaker]

Go wager the spoon on a bet or something, it’d probably make you more than just selling it.

[concasse]

Nah, all I gotta do is pretend it's some priceless treasure and sell it back to the dumb shits who made it in the first place.

[SWINDLE THE RICH]

[voidbreaker]

[ hmmmm. ]

I like that one. Think you could pull it off without a hitch?
