Rebel // 65 [Action] forwarddated to evening

[bullet_dance]

[Four days. Four days since her return, and Noel hasn't stepped foot outside of House 19. Frankly, she's a little terrified of what could happen, as paranoid as it sounded. ...then again, she probably had good reason for it, too. Murdering four and injuring dozens more doesn't come without its consequences, whether you could control it or not.

[Sanji isn't at the bar. B| Or outside. Or anywhere he'd run into Noel, incidentally. He's playing the hermit card for completely different reasons, and only ventures around to harass Ginko or keep the house stocked with food.

Today he is doing neither, so inside he stays. He has at least graduated from ass-sitting to kitchen-loitering, though. It makes him feel like he's not still moping.]

[mikangirl]

[Whereas Nami has been living at the bar every night for a while, now. She's not moping either! 8D

...8D

Well, okay. But at least she's come home earlier than usual tonight, practically flinging open the front door with a ...cheerful smile. :| Not that he can see that from the kitchen, but.]

Sanji-kun!

[Dragging someone in the door. B|]

[bullet_dance]

[Not a word from her. ;; You can't blame her, right? It took a little convincing, but here she is. In the flesh. And with clothes this time.

...but no, really, it's kind of silly considering it being Sanji of all people, but she's scared. What will he say to her? What should she do?

But she trusts Nami. Mostly. And will stay behind her for this.]

[... Moping buddy, why do you sound so deviously pleased with yourself?]

[oda_hates_me]

[But he answers tone for tone, sticking his head out of the kitchen with a smile] Yeeeeees~! Did my angel ring?

[... Only for that smile to get derailed at that end. Is that--

Okay, coming out of the kitchen properly now]

Noel-chan...?

[black_onslaught]

[NOEL-CHAN AND RANDOM GUY YOU DON'T REALLY KNOW. HE GOT DRAGGED HERE TOO.

But he's, like, off in the back. Not even giving a damn and all that jazz. Typical Ragna behavior.]

[mikangirl]

Noel-chan.

[Sidestepping and leaving said Noel-chan without a best friend shield.]

She was in the neighbourhood and decided to come say hi.

[Uh huh.]

[bullet_dance]

[More like was dragged, but details. B|

The shield is gone, and all that remains is a quivering little girl who may or may not have come close to killing Sanji two weeks prior.

... What does she even...?]

S... Sanji...?

[...well, it's a start.]

[oda_hates_me]

[Sanji luckily knows how to finish, too, and gets caught and blindsided by his own sudden happiness]

You're alright!

[Honestly, he just wants to give you a hug but you look ready to melt into the floor]

[black_onslaught]

[Ragna has nothing to add to any of this, so he'll just blend into the background over here. The only reason he's here is because he's supposed to stick with Noel. But at least Sanji's giving a positive reaction to Noel. That's awesome.

That doesn't mean he likes you, though! B(]

[bullet_dance]

[Maybe she could if she tried hard enough. Perhaps it should have been expected from Nami, but she honestly wasn't expecting that burst of happiness. It blindsides her, and at first... she's not sure what to say.]

H-Huh? [But...]

[mikangirl]

[...

...yeah, this is boring.]

[mikangirl]

[SHOVE.

Have a Noel, Sanji-kun. 8|]

[oda_hates_me]

[Ragna, you don't even have breasts. Your presence and displeasure are ignored. B|

Which leaves Sanji trying not to look amused when Nami oh so gently encourages Noel forward. That's ... certainly one way to do it. He'll just catch the girl before she falls, grinning brightly at her all the while.]

That's good... I was starting to get worried.

[black_onslaught]

[Noel doesn't have breasts either!

And he's fine with being ignored, though he might be making some sort of face at Nami after she shoved Noel. The kind of face that says "what the hell woman" and other such things. But he's in the back. No one can see that. Ever.]
