[oda_hates_me]

[This isn't the first time in a week Sanji's slipped out of slumber, indicated by the immediate clarity of his surroundings when his eye opens. No blank moments, no gaps in understanding. No sudden shutdowns where he goes right back under.

He's completely awake, and that's noted with paramount relief.

... And under house arrest, if Nami's last

[Intercept? No thanks.

He'll just ninja directly behind you, once you make it to the kitchen.]

[oda_hates_me]

[...

Shit.

Alright, let's see. It's not Chopper since he'd be squawking at him to get his ass back into bed. Nami-san's out too - her loom has more bite to it. An eye would've popped open on his hand or the cupboard if it were Robin-chan, and there's a good chance the shithead would've tossed him over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes.

Not Usopp, Luffy, or Brook, either. Those chatterboxes couldn't loom if they were paid to.

...]

'm trying to cook. [And he's not pouting. 8| Go away.]

[one_green_eye]

[SILENCE.]

[excuse not good enough. F--]

[oda_hates_me]

[YOU'RE A BIASED GRADER]

... I'll make you something. [When in doubt, bribe the teacher]

......holy wrong icon

[goldenglasses]

I'm alright. How are you doing, Sanji?

FFFF I LOLED >_> Not gonna lie.

[oda_hates_me]

[... nnngh, Vash]

Tch, fine of course. [he's peering very closely at you, sir, like he expects injuries to jump out at him]

XD At least you enjoyed it?

[goldenglasses]

[A few scratches here and there and some rather large dark circles under his eyes, but nothing more than to be expected after spending a week at war. It's what he's hiding behind that grin where the real injuries are, not that he's showing that.] That's good to hear, I was worried when you were still asleep when we left.

[Oh! Good news! That must mean you have no idea how he left! Phew.]

Yes. |Db

[oda_hates_me]

Just needed to sleep everything off. I'll be fine in a few days. [Sanji brushes most concerns away now that it hits him fully - Vash went to war. Vash]

... Tired?

[ action ] /piles on like a boss

[sniperkingftw]

[ When he's done patching up and stashing Chopper in a good place to rest up (probably nearer to Zoro than not), Usopp will be setting up shop at that kitchen table, young man. And then the living room later, and the back yard, and his room; namely since it's nice to be back in the house again. Why not keep his weapon of choice from falling apart while he enjoys it?

For a few seconds, all Sanji gets is a raised eyebrow. He then gets a big-ass grin. ]

Morning.

[ action ] /crushed under the weight D8

[oda_hates_me]

[That's a deceptively pleasant greeting. Sanji expects a catch soon, but that doesn't stop him from grinning back. It feels like he hasn't really seen Usopp in weeks]

Morning.

So your shitty ass made it out in one piece.

[ action ] >> /gets an alibi

[sniperkingftw]

[ You say that as though he's deceitful. ]

Of course. It takes more than a little war to get rid of a Strawhat, you know. [ Little is a relative term, but he's allowed to try to be casual now it's over with. ]

[ action ] /watches Luceti track you down anyway 8|

[oda_hates_me]

[Oh no, he just expected more nagging]

Can't argue that logic. [leans against the table]

What about our emergency food supply and the skeleton?

[Voice]

[boomchucka]

Hey you! It's great to hear your voice again.

[Then her voice slips to a quieter level. Oh Sanji you had her worried.]

How're you feeling?

[Voice]

[oda_hates_me]

[Now there's a surprise]

I'm fine, Selphie-chan. [No, he doesn't realize that she knows, and her question takes him unawares]

Was just sleeping something off, is all.

[Voice]

[boomchucka]

[She knows the bare minimum, Sanji and as much as she'd like to ask what happened, she won't because being controlled by a parasite or whatever it was sounds exhausting. You can hear the smile in her voice.]

Good! I'm glad. Really glad.

[Then she pauses.] I'm not keeping you awake am I?

[Voice]

[oda_hates_me]

No, no, of course not! [He's bored and not ready to sleep like a good boy. And it's such a relief talking to people without having to worry what the voices in his head will say]

I can sleep later. Right now I'd much rather hear how your week's been.

[Silence]

[markofthewise]

[... so, Sanji's awake. He could say something, but... well, it can wait. There's no hurry, after all. It's not like he won't find out how the chef is doing from his sister later anyway.]
