[He's been on his best behavior all week - somber because he should be, and busy because he needs to be. Between trips to the restaurant, walks through the forest, and literally exhausting himself with random bits of work, Sanji's had little time to chat with his friends or crew mates

[ A pause. ]
How are you coping?

Just worried about [pause] dinner.

No need to worry a fine, upstanding gentleman as yourself unnecessarily, Sanji-san.
Generally, at least... well...
Even a beginner would be able to keep food from overcooking, should the need become necessary.
Right?
? Ah, before I forget, I of course, would be more than happy to help with ... dinner, if you like,

In this case, you're right about beginners.
Though to be honest I'm a little...
Short on helpers, nowadays.
Maybe I'm looking for two. Even if I'm not sure how great a shitty idea it is.
[there's a pause after that] But to be honest, Robin-chan, I'm not really the one cooking this dinner. Your help's still appreciated all the same.

Of course I'm sure once you do, you will have more than your fair share of people who wish to learn from the best.
Who's cooking then? I find it surprising you would allow one of the others into your domain, but I will provide whatever help you or the 'cook' may need.

Eh. Some shithead who's pretty close to me. [And here he'll discreetly mark a portion of his conversation with Ginko - he's sure she can get the gist from there] One that doesn't know how to treat a lady, either.

Ask anyone.
Leaving that aside, you are probably quite right - I find it unlikely that any here can match your talents.
Nevertheless, it would be a pleasant surprise. Of course, your position would always be secure.
Some "shithead"?
Sanji-san, such language in a lady's presence.
Ordinarily I would be offended, but I understand the stresses of your ... position, so I will let it slide.
[ Natch, even as she's directed to that other conversation, Robin was keeping an eye on that filter, so she'll be making note to contact Ginko herself soon - assuming he doesn't beat her to it. ]

Hindsight says the guy's rubbing off on me.
It might be a good idea for you to help teach him some manners.
Now though, I better get started started on dinner for you guys since you... Know how Luffy gets if I keep him waiting. So I'll see my lovely goddess later~! ♥
[As for that heart... well, it's a bit more round than usual. Very circular. He wasn't kidding about the dinner part, however, so he'll have to cut the convo short - at least until tomorrow]

Hope you're still up for it. Otherwise I'm sure I can find a few other volunteers, so not to inconvenience you.
Probably someone outside the crew, though.
People like to stick their noses in my business so often, maybe I should give them the chance.
... Either way, I'll figure something out. Right?
[This message? Comes on Saturday, written after he and Ginko have had a few exchanges. It might seem strange now, but since she's no doubt keeping up with the other conversation, it'll make sense soon. ]

Everyone is merely concerned, since you take on so much yourself.
No one wants you to overstress yourself.
[ Someone outside the crew ... she's been stalking that other conversation, so she has a pretty good idea of who that is. There's a pause, because if she's reading correctly she also knows who the first target is going to be.
... Are you SURE you don't want her to just snap your neck and be done with it? ]

Put the neck-snapping on hold if you would, Robin-chan. Besides, he knows you'll do it if the plan should fail.]
Sometime soon, track down who you need to for a few ideas. [aka Ginko]
Otherwise I've got no ideas yet, but I'll think of something quick.
Oh, of course. No need to remind me - sorry I make a habit out of worrying you all.
Reply
Let me think. Since no doubt you would prefer certain members of the crew kept out of the kitchen...ah, that we can take care of easily.
Everything is all right, Sanji-san, your apologies are unnecessary.. We are nakama are we not?
Reply
Heh... you're right, and thank you, Robin-chan.
I think that'll be it for now.
Reply
Naturally, you're welcome Sanji-san. If there's anything else you need of me, you know how to reach me. For the moment, however, I've something to do, so I will speak with you again later. [ Or vice versa. ]
