[Voice/Action]
[This takes a few tries. There's a breath or two as she considers her words.
And then Nami speaks with casual good cheer, though people who know her very well will pick the faint edge to what she says.]
You know those superstitions and tales? Or just strange things that kids tell each other? They're not true, but they tend to sink in anyway. Like ... if you swallow watermelon seeds, they'll grow in your stomach. Or a woman on board a ship is bad luck. [And there's a faint snicker.] Or if a boy massages your breasts, they'll grow bigger.
The library has so many of these recorded from different places. So I'm curious - have you got any tales like that where you come from?
[Whether people answer her or not - and she'll hold conversation with them if they do - Nami is leaving the Straw Hat house quietly in the evening to shuffle her weary way to the bar. Just for an hour, and it's not too far away. After everything that's happened and the friends who have died or left in the past week - she just wants the space, regardless of whether she should be out of bed at all.
Crew who are at home needn't panic - the only person she's actively trying to dodge the attention of is Chopper, and Robin will casually get up and follow Nami out the door, so you know that will end well. But she will make it to the bar eventually :|a]
