[The feed clicks on and the first thing that transmits is a pained groan followed by what can only be the cracking of stiff joints. The cook sounds a bit disoriented and just a little pissed off.]
Fucking hell... let's never do that again.
Ace. I'm going to fucking kill you.

She looks up at him, tears spilling yet smiling in relief.]
I turned you into stoooone! You were a rock! And I'm reeeeally sorry!

Hey, you didn't know that was going to happen! I'm fine, really. No harm done!

A-are you sure? I--I mean, I didn't want to turn you into a stone statue, or the table, or the book, but... but I just looked up, and my hand moved and then... just...
I didn't meeeean toooo! [And with another hiccup, she started crying again.]

[Well. He should've seen it coming. Anemone has always been very emotional and with the alcohol in her bloodstream it would've taken a damn miracle to keep her from crying. Not that he really minds though... well, of course he does. He'd rather not see her cry at all, ever. But now that she does it's alright, because that allows him to try and comfort her. So he wrapped his arms around her shoulders and gently pulled her closer to his chest.]
Oi... it's alright. It's not your fault.

[She held tightly onto him, crying almost hysterically for another minute or two before quieting down again, leaning on him and just holding tight.]
I didn't think it would do anything... I... I thought it was just going to be a stomach ache, like he told me... since it didn't do anything first.

...that was what he told you?

Just a stomach ache... I thought it would taste really neat, or do something... and I thought it didn't, because nothing happened until you... you turned...

Sanji sighed, pulled back a little to grab her by the shoulders before he leaned down and tried to get eyecontact. None of this was her fault and he'd damn well keep saying it until she believed it.]
Hey. It's over. I'm fine and it looks like you got it under control. Everything's okay.

Although... if it didn't bother Sanji anymore, maybe things would be okay. She sighed and looked down.]
Everything's okay... All okay... but I gotta sit down...

Alright. Get some rest, my lady.
[He put an arm around her shoulders, giving her a little squeeze before he began to move her out into the bar area. ]

I don't wanna go to bed yet... Can I watch you cook?

Of course! As long as you like, Miss~

Thaaanks... Kureha might get all crabby if I come home too drunk. And you just got back!
[Meaning she had to stare at him for a little, to make sure he'd stay un-frozen.]
Reply
Ah, we wouldn't want that~! That old Granny can be damn scary...
[It was difficult to miss the way she looked at him and just as easy to figure out why. So he brought up his free hand to brush it through her hair, keeping that warm smile firmly in place.]
I'm fine. Don't worry, okay?
