[ she should be happy sanji’s back — and she is — but she also feels bad, in a way she hadn’t for killing those councillors or the fireflies or the enforcers. the closest thing in her memory is ekko’s hands on her throat, a wet gleam in his eyes —
it’s funny. she hadn’t thought it was wrong until that post had made her seem like the villain. for the first time, she thought she’d done something right. took care of nami. made her happy when she was sad. it figures that she was ruining everything, like always, without even knowing it. ]
the pot’s pretty bad, chef ruins anything u put it in it u can throw it out im sure penelope will give u a new one maybe even a better one
[ *portia. also, this is a metaphor. you can throw her out and get a new sous chef, sanji. a better one. ]
fixing stuff defeats the purpose of days off. i haven't been pulling my weight. i've gotta catch up. just show me what to hammer and i'll put something together.
i was gonna make zoro do the work for me after you left.
[ glossing over that idiot's near catatonic state despite sanji being perfectly fine now — ]
?? i didn't say that. i'm doing you a favor. you've been handling the kitchen all by yourself. i didn't exactly prep you very well, either, but i heard you did a decent job. you didn't abandon the restaurant. so, thanks.
[ nami and i. a crack that wedges wider. several minutes go by without a reply. ]
this is nami's restaurant. she does the hiring and the firing. and if she fired you, we'd have a major problem because i don't want anyone else as my sous chef. don't be stupid. nami likes you. so do i.
the only thing that's not fine is that the restaurant's not open and you put all my knives in the wrong place. stop being shitty about taking a vacation. let me get my kitchen in order. go pick some asparagus if you want something to do.
don’t blame him. he’s not the one that fucked up. i couldn’t take care of things myself after i left. he had to do it. it’s not his fault he doesn’t want to be around after that.
jinx. thanks. for doing what i asked. for taking care of nami. i'm glad she had you. i didn't want her to be alone.
