[Zoro sleeps a lot, and he's developed a bit of a liking for the gardens. It's a nice atmosphere, and usually fairly peaceful. So, if Fenris has any appointments for the garden, he just might run into a certain green-haired swordsman during naptime.

Currently, Zoro is in a sitting position under a tree, leaning back against the tree trunk for support, with his arms folded across his chest. His three katana are removed from his hip and leaning against his shoulder, easy to reach in case of a sudden attack.]

[lyriumbranded]

[As it was, Fenris actually did have an appointment in the gardens, as he was told by his employer to head there directly. In the vicinity, he spots someone sitting under a tree, sleeping soundly. The only person that would fit the description of being able to be woken up with a kiss, Fenris assumes.

Not that he looks forward to any of this, but the elf had figured that the more he dwells on the act, the more difficult it will be. He crosses over to the tree next to the man, kneels down and looks over him for a bit.

(He notices the katana and hopes that he won't startle the man into attacking, as would be the nature of any swordsman worth his salt. Again, thinking about it too much.)

After a small sigh, Fenris leans forward and attempts to place a kiss on the sleeping man's lips to wake him up.]

[santoryu_marimo]

[As is to be expected of any good swordsman, Zoro's instincts kick in once he feels his personal space being invaded. Just before their lips can touch, Zoro's eye slowly opens in time to see Fenris all up in his face.

He pauses for just quick second as his sleepy mind processes this information. This doesn't seem to be an attack, but Zoro almost wishes it was. At least he'd know how to react in that case, but kissing is far from being Zoro's specialty. Eye widening and lip curling, Zoro tries his best to lean back, but the trunk of the tree is in his way.]

...THE HELL?!

[He quickly moves a hand to the hilt of one of his swords, ready to draw his blade, if needed.]

[lyriumbranded]

[That startles Fenris, and seeing Zoro move his hand toward the hilt of his sword makes his own swordsman-like instincts kick in, and the elf immediately tenses. His own hand would reach for his sword... if he had it on him, and were not instead dressed in this ridiculous outfit.

He remains in control of himself, however, and speaks plainly:]

Your prince has arrived.

[Speaks plainly the lines he was given by his employer, at least.

Though he has a distinct feeling this wasn't exactly the person he was looking for.]

[santoryu_marimo]

[The very disgruntled look on Zoro's face easily shows that no, he did not order any wake-up kiss of any sort. He doesn't even realize such a service even exists, so to him, this is just some pervert creeping around in the gardens.]

Another idiot heir to the throne of Retardia?

[There's no way Zoro can go back to sleep after something like this, so he starts pulling himself to his feet, casually brushing off any dirt that got on his robe.]

[lyriumbranded]

[Fenris' eyes follow the stranger as he stands and the elf soon follows suit, the ridiculous tassels on his outfit swaying with every movement he makes.]

[He's hardly a Prince Charming in his mannerisms and tone, which convey that this is probably the last thing in the world he'd want to do]

I take it you're not one to order kisses, then?

[santoryu_marimo]

[Zoro knits his eyebrows at Fenris' words. He can't imagine there are actually people who would ask to be awakened this way.]

Only an idiot would pay for something like that.

[lyriumbranded]

[When one is signed up for stupid jobs on the Thor, you'd be surprised to find what some people will pay for.]

Then I am catering to a host of idiots, in your opinion. Although I'm sure my employer would have to disagree with you.

[santoryu_marimo]

Why? Because they're giving him money for it? That just makes them even bigger morons.

[lyriumbranded]

No, I believe that makes them businessmen. [Ever the cynical one, or at least he makes himself sound like a cynic more often than not.]

This aside, forgive me for my... intrusion. I did not mean to interrupt your nap.

[santoryu_marimo]

Next time, make sure you got the right guy before you do that to someone.

[Zoro's not too pissed, fortunately. Just slightly irritated. It was just a mistake, after all.]

[lyriumbranded]

You have my word that I will not make the same mistake again.

[A pause.

He can't resist a dry remark.]

Though most here tend to nap in their rooms. Doing otherwise, and in a public place, is a risk on this ship.
