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.]

[Given enough silence, Sanji will eventually soften, in a sense. Or in this case, what that means is he sighs and leans back, fixing Ace with a loose stare like he's only half-sure what to do with the man.

Frankly, he'd love for Ace to take a hike. Nothing personal, like he said - but it's easier to wallow when you're not dragging someone else down with you. He can't fully hate himself and Luceti in the presence of another.]

... Thanks, for taking me out on your skiff.

[He'd kinda rather you didn't hate yourself, but a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do. And hell, who is he to deprive him of that. He downs the last of his drink, standing up and putting his hat on his head.]

You're welcome. I'll be glad to give you a ride anytime. [As he walks away, he calls over his shoulder.]

And I do mean anytime.
