-When I said last night I really meant this afternoon...*Shhh* I'm posting from work...:D
-Once again I haven't written anything in quite some time, so comments are appreciated.
*I specifically requested express delivery* Nami scowled, glaring into the sky through her window. If she could have made the delivery bird appear through shear force of will, it would have popped into existence that very instant.
Recovering on Water 7 was a nerve racking task. With Luffy still asleep and the rest of the crew still in varying degrees of injury, having the paper, and hence the knowledge of the marines, was something Nami had focused on like Luffy eating a piece of meat.
So intent was she, Sanji’s soft footsteps didn’t even penetrate her concentration.
“Nami-san, is there anything I can get you?” Jumping a bit, Nami glanced over her shoulder, where a waiting Sanji seemed oddly subdued.
“No thanks Sanji-kun, I’m fine.” Nami turned back to the window.
“You should take a break, haven’t you ever heard that a watched pot never boils?” Sanji’s mouth twitched into a smile.
Nami lolled her head back and rolled her eyes. “And haven’t you ever heard of well begun is half done?”
“I can’t say that I have.” Sanji replied, smiling now, warming to their game.
A snort of laughter from behind caused them both to flinch.
Sanji scowled and opened his mouth to yell at the obnoxious swordsman but Zoro beat him to the punch.
“Colloquial sayings are all well and good, but you should both keep in mind when the going gets tough, the tough kill everything in site until all their enemies lay dead at there feet.”
Sanji began to make menacing gestures with his hands, while Zoro quirked an eyebrow at him in a mocking way.
Neither man was looking at her, so Nami smiled a soft smile. *If they’re both trying to cheer me up, it’s working, though marine headquarters will freeze over before I tell them.*
“I think,” Nami said loudly.” “That we should all contemplate the meaning of interrupting me when I’m busy. Sanji would you mind getting me something to drink? And Zoro, be a dear and go check on Luffy.”
There was a pause where they both kept on glaring at the other. “I said scat!” Nami yelled, causing both men to give her their best “angry eyes.” Though it didn’t stop Sanji from quickly changing his eyes to hearts and leaping gallantly away or Zoro from shuffling from the room muttering about demanding navigators.
Nami chuckled to herself and sat down in the chair by the window.
*Now I just have to remember, whatever happens, I have good friends and together we can accomplish anything. What will be, will be.*
