[Anyone on a stroll through the woods, or even in town might see a chef out today - a very quiet one, dressed in a New Feather's garb and lacking all of his usual exuberance

[ It's in the after part that Xion goes out looking for him. She doesn't even bother responding to the voice portion; no conversation she could have with him over the journals would be satisfying to her. She's just got to see her dad.

... of course, then she spots him ... floating about. ... floating. ...

Her mouth drops open, and she rushes forward a few steps before stopping. ]

D-- Sanji!

[ action ]

[oda_hates_me]

[At the sound of the voice, Sanji turns to the source (hanging upside down) and waves enthusiastically]

Xiooooon~! It's been far too lon-- Oi! [This touching reunion has been interrupted by loud cussing from one end and angry chirping from the other, as a flock of birds decide Sanji's either a good place to roost or just in their way]

I'm not your damn perch, shitheads! Go land on a tree! [kicking his legs to get the point across. Stupid birds]

[ action ]

[poppetry]

[ She starts to grin, and wave--

--and then the birds happen, and she stops short again, her smile vanishing to be replaced with a look of mild surprise as she blinks once or twice.

........ and then starts. to laugh. it's just. ... sanji hanging upside down in mid air yelling at birds.... ]

[ action ]

[oda_hates_me]

[You don't know how hard it is being popular with the local wildlife, okay? Both the birds and Sanji stop at the sound of Xion's amusement... Give it enough time, and Sanji begins laughing too, and rubs the back of his reddening neck.

Alright, he looks ridiculous.]

Ahaha... I'm sorry, Xion. This wasn't exactly how I expected to see you again.

[Voice]

[eternallysinned]

I see you made a safe return. Welcome back.

[Voice]

[oda_hates_me]

Aa. Safe is... one way to put it.

How you been, Hakkai?

[Voice]

[eternallysinned]

[Certainly better than the alternative.]

As well as one can be.

How are things on your end?

[Voice]

[oda_hates_me]

Weightless.

[Take that as you will]

[Speaking of one of the patrons tending to the restaurant during the chef's absence, Presea had finished up a little earlier than usual today...like most days, unfortunately. Without Sayo - whom she learned the name of from some of the other workers - it was just very strange to be surrounded by people she didn't know, and in an environment she was still a little awkward in. She'd never worked anywhere but the forests and swamps.

So, on her way to the forest to just sit and listen for a while, she stops to adjust the knife she carried on her at all times. That's when she notices Sanji waft by on the wind.

8|a

Presea follows him with her eyes, then follows without a word, and aims to grab his leg. H-Hopefully she can reach him. Because the option of knocking him out of the air seemed mean...]

[Action]

[oda_hates_me]

[Presea, Sanji has heard of your selflessness from Sayo. ;; There will be another heartfelt Thank You and showering of affection... whenever he wakes up. Malnosso drugs make that reality a bit difficult at the moment.

Thankfully the wind is light today, meaning he's not going anywhere in a hurry. She does indeed grab his leg.

The question is, did she have to jump to grab it? 8|a]

[Action]

[not_klonoa]

[Sanji, Presea is 4'6", of course she had to jump to grab you. A little boost from her exsphere is all Presea needs to successfully leap up a sizable distance and latch onto his leg with one hand, dangling from it and making a rather hilarious spectacle - just another day in Luceti.

Hopefully, she can get back down, though. Presea doesn't have her axe to weigh them both down, and she's not exactly anywhere near the weighty side...]

[Action]

[oda_hates_me]

[Oh, even if she weighed as much as a polar bear, she wouldn't manage to get them down. Weird experiments and such.

It does, however, wake Sanji up, and he grumbles under his breath as he comes to. Where he is doesn't register because he assumes he's still stuck with the Malnosso. But waking to someone clinging at his leg... that's a new one.

More so when he realizes who it is]

Pre...sea-chan?

[Action]

[asobouyo]

[A visit, you say? Well, that means she can shower you with glee over the fact that her mama came back. She'll be back from school, backpack discarded at the porch, to play a game of hopscotch. You know, the game you probably aren't very good at right now?]

[Action]

[oda_hates_me]

[At least one of them is having fun today.

Sanji's content to chill out in the air and watch her, and maybe work out what he wants to say. Elicia should by far be the easiest to handle - she's a child, and the true mess of the experiment no doubt floated over her head.

... Sorta like he's doing right now god damn it. He's gonna need Kipinn for this.

-- Actually. This doesn't sound like a bad idea. It's been weeks since he's practiced, so the gust is small and weak like an underused muscle, but it's enough to propel Sanji to the ground for a brief moment]

Elicia-chwan~!

Re: [Action] 1/2

[asobouyo]

[Oh, Sanji, Don't underestimate the mind of a child. The moment she hears that voice the small, focused smile on her face vanishes, and she turns to stare in surprise, because it's about time you showed up. She's got stuff to talk to you about, mister.]

Re: [Action]

[asobouyo]

[She rushes herself over and goes in for a hug--she's gotten used to these; they're all her brain jumps to, when she's relieved. So happy to see you're back. Because she sort of thought maybe you were upset at them...]

I'm sorry I lied, big bro. I didn't even know I lied, I swear...

[Action] - delicious spam. 8D

[chiisaichou]

[Miyabi's in her usual spot, under the branches of Ammy's cherry tree. She had her arms folded in her lap, legs crossed, eyes closed - meditating. She was also ignoring the throbbing pain on her head, and the insistent wriggling of a half-buried mallet. The thing not only interrupted her meditation, but clocked her one good. Honestly, there had to be less painful ways of getting larger...

With her mind focused more on the wind, birds, and her own breathing, she won't notice Sanji's approach unless he calls out.]

[Action] - NOM NOM NOM. /eats it up *_*

[oda_hates_me]

[Ah, meditating, is she? She looks so peaceful... He'll feel a tad guilty barging in when he could always catch her later, but he's already floated his ass out here. Pride and lack of energy won't let him go back. And, well, he just wants to see her. It's been three long weeks without his friends.

But first, it'd be nice to find a way to stop. 8I Kipinn's power only works so well when he's exhausted, and the chef's out of practice with the wind spirit's area of expertise. Crashing into Ammy's tree might get him fried on sight, hmm...]

This is a problem. [Oh well! Speaking up, still caught in the air] Sorry, Miyabi-chwan~! I don't mean to interrupt your studies, but... [I'm back? 8D;]

[Action] - 1/2

[chiisaichou]

[Oh, psaw, meditation and just about everything else takes a backseat to her precious friends and family. Especially those she hasn't seen for weeks. The voice makes her eyes snap open and a sudden swell of excitement and joy. Miyabi jumps up to attention, looking all around for her dearest fa--brother. Brother.]

Sanji! ...Sanji? Sanji, where--

[Action] - 2/2

[chiisaichou]

[...wat r u doin up there, man? Staring, a-and trying not to laugh. It is much harder than you think.]

Uhm, d-do you need some h-help? Hehehe...
