I am a little tired. I keep seeming to get turned around. [Her eyelashes bat at him in absent vapidness] It's very nice of you to think of me like this.
[And a little more quietly-] I didn't mean to worry anyone.
[Perky again!] People should know I can take care of myself, no matter what!
Oh, that's right! [And she titters gracefully. Her cousin is just so smart. And she beams at him with appreciation, the sound of her beautiful laughter still drafting on the breeze.]
He wanted me to find a road.
[And see? She found one. Look at her being all proud.]
[ What a relief, indeed; Chouji was starting to think they'd need all the ninja in Luceti to track her down. 8|a He will approach with that relief probably quite apparent and sort-of wave. ]
Aa- yo. [ And more towards Katara. ] I was starting to worry you might have accidentally gotten lost.
Now we observe the Akimichi Chouji in his unnatural habitat, facing a true dilemma; because there is probably merit to just playing along, otherwise Mister Law there wouldn't have suggested it. She may be. Easy to upset.
But Katara has to return to normal eventually, because that's what happens, and she'll probably be angry enough about all of this without more awkward not-actual-romance on top of it. Or something.
M-maybe he can manage to turn it into just-a-strong and caring embrace? Worth a shot, at the very least. And...smiling because his face is possibly momentarily frozen. He does not have a poker face. No Oscars for him. ]

Trafalgar!
[Excited, graceful waving which leaves trails of sparkles in the air at the motion.]
How are you? Do you need any help carrying that?
[She's superstrong, of course. If only the Malnosso hadn't taken that from her. >>]

[Sparkle, sparkle.
Taking a step forward.]
Especially when I have such good friends and family around.

And of course I'm all right. I'm half-pirate, after all.

Oh, Chouji!
[And she leans up to kiss him.
What do, Chouji? What do?]
