004↠ Action

[concasse]

[Sanji's at the bar probably with the rest of the village, holed up in a corner for a decidedly good portion of the evening/night, well after this mess. Catch him when he's depressingly sober, moderately drunk and pissed, or in the middle of destroying what's left of his kidneys.

He'll get home eventually. Somehow.]

[concasse]

... Vivi-chan? [He calls out right before the door shuts, though half of him hopes she doesn't hear]

[alabastajewel]

[She does hear, and pauses, taking a step back into the darkened room.] Yes?

[concasse]

[It's perhaps the silliest question to ask, considering who he's talking to, but...]

Do you think less of me?

[alabastajewel]

[Her expression grows slightly pained at the question, though it's probably not noticeable in the dim light.]

No. No, of course not!

[concasse]

[Right, of course. About the answer he expected. Sanji gives her a weakened smile, nearly saying "Thank you" again for the admission, but instead goes:]

Alright. [[He's overdone the theatrics enough for one night] I'll see you in the morning.

[alabastajewel]

[Vivi nods, giving him a soft smile.] Yes. Sleep well.

[And she leaves again, the door latching behind her with a faint click.]
