[ Top of the morning, Luceti. If you happen to be out and about, you may just find a tiny and unseasonably dressed child out and about with you, clutching at his journal like a freaking lifeline. His expression is likely one of the utmost confused horror, so chances are you've spotted the little longnose hiding out behind various trees

[The first thing that pops into Zoro's head when he sees an unfamiliar kid fail!hiding in the distance: >:| damn Malnosso, they trying to kill kids by throwing them in here like that or what.

The second thing is-]

[threeswordsoul]

[..........]

[threeswordsoul]

[Ohai, suddenly he is not so much in the distance. >> In fact, in the blink of an eye he's behind the chibi and yoinking him up by the scruff of his shirt to stare at him in the face.]

...Usopp?

[chibinose]

[ Sadly, there are no appropriate icons to illustrate just how much freaking out is currently going on with the longnose you're holding.

...and actually, the shrieking might help out with the familiarity oh god why is he being yoinked ]

L-LEMME GO, I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!

[That-is Usopp, alright.]

[threeswordsoul]

[rrrrgghhhfdjskflks fucking Malnosso]

[threeswordsoul]

...You're a kid. [Okay, plonking his mini-nakama down but resting on a knee and keeping a firm grip on his shoulder, because if he knows Usopp he'll probably try to bolt.]

[ ...leaving is still worth a shot. Straining.

Straaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiinnn. ]

[chibinose]

[ Why isn't it working, someone halp. He doesn't even have anything to hide behind! ;__; ]

Wh-what do you want?

[threeswordsoul]

[Frowning, because...he doesn't like that fear aimed at him. Not from a kid. And not from crew. And especially not from both. -But he's very much not letting go, kthx.]

Nothing. Shouldn't've just grabbed you liked that; sorry. [For scaring him, anyway; he's not sorry he stopped him from leaving.] ...You don't remember me, do you.

[chibinose]

[ Frowning right back and staring for a good few seconds- he should at least stop pulling on his arm and try to remember if he remembers him, right? :|a Apologizing and not maiming him are worth a couple of points, after all.

Annnnd have a headshake. It's like when people walk up and say they met him when he was a baby, and of course he doesn't remember that. ] I don't know you.

[threeswordsoul]

...Yet. [Great. Zoro stifles another Malnosso-directed growl and focuses on Usopp. His grip loosens and he lets go now that the chibi isn't panicking anymore, but rest assured he's ready to catch him up again if he takes off.] My name's Roronoa Zoro. I'm a pirate, and your nakama. Even if you don't know me. Yet.

[sniperkingftw]

[ Now he is a creative little fella, but that doesn't usually extend beyond imaginary sea-kings and legions of Usopp Pirates. It's safe to say he's a bit skeptical. ]

But... how do I know I really don't know you yet if I don't even know you enough to know if you're not lying yet? [ This is so confusing, Zoro ;; ]

[threeswordsoul]

...What? [J-just a second, working through that-oh whatever, the gist'll do.]

[threeswordsoul]

I don't know. Can't think how to prove it to you. But it's the truth. We're crew when you get older...And I know you even if you don't know me.

[chibinose]

[ Even if he's just making this up: cool story, bro. Nonetheless: ]

Y-you're not really good at this, Mister Zoro.
