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]

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.

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... ]

She likes you.

[ he winces lightly, but frankly he's used to pain so. ]
Guess I make a pretty good scratching post.
