What do you say to someone who shows up here even though you know they're dead back home?

[abrupt question is abrupt, sorry]

'How's it going?' seems like an asshole-ish question in that situation. But you have to say something, it's only polite. Especially if they're going to be hanging around for who knows how long in this place. Eh, not that it

Sanji-san, that's kind of a weird question.

[voice]

[notadartboard]

Ah, sorry, Robin! I was just thinking out loud. Sort of.

Have you read through the pirate books I brought back? I have some more I picked up ages ago, about some of the historical places in this world.

[voice]

[lookfornakama]

...did something happen?

Mhm! I finished them, too. They were really interesting, thank you!

Wait, historical places, too? Can I come over and get them?

[voice]

[notadartboard]

Yeah. You know Ace, who had dinner with us a few times? He's been sent back home.

Sure, of course! I saw the one on pyramids and thought of you, so I got it, and there's a few others. [just give him five minutes to hide the tawdry romance novels first]

[voice]

[lookfornakama]

--he's gone? [Great. More people to lose. You can hear that she's down.]

Pyramids......that sounds really good! I'll be over soon! [Dashing out that door to go down a floor to Sanji's room.]

[voice]

[notadartboard]

Yeah. It happens, now and then.

[happy little hum] I'll be here. The door's open.

[voice]

[lookfornakama]

.......mn. [Doesn't make it any better.

And in a few minutes, she will sheepishly open Sanji's door, and walk in.]

Ah, hi Sanji-san.

[action] gaaaah stupid notifs again

[notadartboard]

[he got the books out of his room so she can't see his questionable taste in fiction, and is flipping through one]

Hiii Robin~. Come on in, you're always welcome whether it's meal-time or not. Here, I got the books out for you.

[action] ditto that

[lookfornakama]

[Shame, Sanji. Shame.]

Great! Thank you!

[action]

[notadartboard]

[yes, he's terrible. There's a couple of bigger photography books he bought just because they were gorgeous, but then some simple tomes on Egypt, Greece, and Japan]

I always hoped someday you'd get to see these, though I never really expected you to get yanked here. That's some luck, isn't it?

[action]

[lookfornakama]

[She takes the books, and flips through them, reading a few sentences here and there.]

These are great! Thank you, Sanji-san!

If you're looking for more, one of my friends here really likes books. Maybe she can take you to the library or something.
