[It has. been three hours since Sanji found his baby tiger. Three entire hours of him chasing her around like a nervous father who expects her to sneak out after curfew. Eventually he'll need to cook, take a better scope of the camp, actually make himself useful...
But until then it's just him hugging a surprisingly patient tiger cub on the cabin floor, squishing his cheek on top of her head. Cooing stupidly. What a disaster.]
If that mutt tries to pull a fast one on ya, come tell me, okay?
[By the time Percy makes it to Fish Cabin, he hears the sounds of soft half-barks and immediately bursts in. It's why he sees Sanji on the floor with a whole-ass tiger cub and he takes a moment to blink in surprise as his small furry companion immediately barks upon seeing him and nyooms to the door.]
Mrs. O'Leary! [He's also crouching down to pet the dog, but uh, hm.] Did...you just call my dog a mutt?
But if it's a Mrs. then I spoke outta turn. Sorry about that.
[he says, specifically apologizing to the lady in the room. A gentleman trashcan through and through. As for Nami, the barking causes her ears to peel back -- what a noisy companion -- but it's not really fear driving her, especially since Sanji doesn't seem all that fussed.]
[One who is growing increasingly more wiggly as time goes by, until Sanji relinquishes his hold and allows her to roam. She's fairly young-looking too, still sporting vivid blue eyes and awkward little legs]
Picked her up in the castle. Was a gift from my last jailor.
Nah, towards the end. And trust me, this shit made more sense in context.
[Nami doesn't mind. To softer woofing doesn't startle her and she begins given Mrs. O'Leary a curious sniff before meowing in reply... and then immediately wobbling onwards to explore more of the cabin since SOMEONE didn't let her before!!]
I've only had her three... maybe four weeks at this point?
[Nodding to the dog]
What about her? She a gift, or she from your world?
Huh. I'm gonna take your word for it. [But he doesn't seem too fussed as he watches the animals explore.] Mrs. O'Leary was given to me by somebody back home. She's kinda gone through some changes in these games but I'm gonna guess that's because of the no-powers rule these places seem to have.
Y'know, I wonder if Nami has the human intelligence I gifted her with. Kinda hard to tell since she's still a baby, but I wouldn't be surprised if that got wiped outta her system because of whatever stupid rules these games are run on.
She's usually bigger than this cabin and can travel through shadows. [No big deal. But he gives Sanji a questioning look.] Did you teach her how to talk or something?
The ink me and everyone at the castle got as a reward for solving a dispute between a tiger and a dragon.
[The fact that I typed that I realized, yeah, that's exactly what happened--]
And when I say ink, think of... of the magic that brings fairy tales to life, or just the power to control your own destiny. We use that ink to bring everyone who had died back to life, and the leftover shit was for whatever we wanted to use it on.
So kind of a deus ex machina. [He seems weirdly chill about that.] That's one way of making sure your friends would come back in the end. I haven't heard a ton about the castle, but it doesn't surprise me that it was all because two people couldn't solve their own problems.
And...you used your remaining ink on the tiger. [...Sanji's valid though, if the little grin is any indication.]
Because my little Nami-chwan is the sweetest creature in existence~!!
[Said tiger who turns her head at the sound of Sanji's voice jumping five octaves but uh, she's getting into mischief, so she goes back to ignoring him]
I'm just glad I'll get a chance to bring her home once all this bullshit is settled.
Oh. [He looks a little surprised, but otherwise fairly calm about that.] Cool. I've never heard of a cat liking that much water, but you must have a pretty big ship then.

Tch, guess this cabin's gonna be a regular zoo.

So I noticed. Could be worse though. Normally she's a lot bigger than this. [...but uh.] I'm not crazy, right? That's a tiger.

Kind of an elaborate sort of gift. Did all of you get these things when your game started?

But what kind of asshole just leaves a baby tiger to fend for herself in a castle? Of course I used it on her.
[Yeah, he's That Kind of guy.]

Hey, I'm just saying. Not everyone would do something like that. [...but good to know. Sanji has gained +1 respect from Percy.]

Oh yeah, Sunny's pretty huge as far as ships go -- maybe not the biggest but it's plenty big for me and my crew. Nami'll fit in fine.
