[God bless this whole ass kitchen he can lounge in. It's the first place Sanji decides to explore after his own cabin (and discovering his baby tiger), and it's already a mess of bowls, pans, and ingredients. What is he making? Who knows. Right now he just wants to bask in the glory of having all this space to himself.
... Well, in theory. Since obviously this open kitchen means people are gonna wander in and out. He's a lot more amiable than he was on the bus, however, and arches his eyes in the direction of whoever joins him.]
Oi, you hungry?
[At his feet, the baby tiger rouses herself and immediately goes sniffing about this stranger's feet. She's, uh, not really afraid of humans, it seems]
[ he certainly is in a much better mood.... then again, the bus had everyone on edge. ]
Taking requests?
[ phoenix on the other hand, nearly freezes up when the baby tiger comes sniffing around... but his pokerface is as good as ever, so he glances down. ]
She starts batting lightly at his foot like she expects him to dance for her entertainment. Or to be picked up. Thankfully she's so small that her claws aren't an issue, but Phoenix will continue to suffer for now]
She was waiting for me in my cabin, so she got to miss the whole bus trip.
[Sanji looks happy? Wild. It's like he truly loves this jungle cat.]
[ phoenix is always meant to suffer.... it's what he deserves. he wiggles his foot a little for her, fully prepared to suffer. his foot is bare, even. ]
Guess their portal got here before we did.
[ how funny. ]
But if you don't mind.. I'd like a chicken sandwich.
[If he sits, Nami will just straight-up try to jump into his lap like a literal house cat, though given she's so young, she botches the jump and flails straight back to the ground.
-- And Sanji, without missing a beat, walks right over, picks her up, and plops her on Phoenix's lap.]
Be careful, Nami.
[Babysit his tiger for a while, sir]
And of course, she's a baby. If she's not sleeping and eating, she's getting into mischief.
[Sanji, who unfortunately does pay attention to everything written on those profiles, arches a brow immediately... but hey, that's not outside the realm of possibility. Maybe this hobo got freaky in his early years and jumpstarted a family]
Must be your natural something. [Nodding to Nami who is... kneading her baby claws into his legs]

... Huh. Who's your furry friend?
no subject
[Did he... ever mention that? Well now he is, and Sanji's gaze drops down to the baby tiger who is clumsily circling around Phoenix's feet]
That's Nami! Treat her kindly or I'll beat your ass, got it?
[Yes, treat the baby predator with kid gloves]
no subject
[ hard to tell if he's being factitious as well. ]
[ phoenix just stays still and doesn't really look at nami. knowing cats, this will only get him more cat attention. ]
Oh, that's Nami. Seems like you found her.

And yet she still bats at them with interest.]
Nami, you don't know where his feet have been.
[Voice vaguely disapproving as he watches his baby tiger play. Not an ounce of sympathy is spared for Phoenix's toes]
And fine, that'll be quick enough. Go sit somewhere before she tries to scale you like a tree.
no subject
The ground, mostly. [ kill the feet. kill them. ]
She's pretty lively.
[ sure he'll sit down and wait nicely, but will nami get bored of him? ]

[ he just sits there while he presumably is a scratching post for cute little nami. ]
Well, I do have a little experience with that.
no subject
... And also nah, he really needs a baby sitter, PLEASE AND THANK]
You... got animals?
[A pause]
Or you tryin' to say all you do is sleep, eat, and get into people's shit -- because I'd believe either of those answers.
no subject
Hmm... the latter, for sure.
[ impossible to tell whether he's joking or not. ]
No animals, but plenty of rowdy kids. There's a lot of overlap.
no subject
[He's
hm
Yeah, Sanji's a little bit shocked, and doesn't bother to hide his surprised tone]
How many? And how old are they?
no subject
[ he doesn't seem bothered by sanji's surprise ]
But I seem to attract kids. Must be my natural charisma.
[ yeah.... so charismatic... ]
no subject
Must be your natural something. [Nodding to Nami who is... kneading her baby claws into his legs]
She likes you.
no subject
[ he winces lightly, but frankly he's used to pain so. ]
Guess I make a pretty good scratching post.
