[There is something extraordinarily jarring about finding yourself in a chilled, unfamiliar forest, when two seconds ago you were under the sea, fighting off a legion of crazed fishmen. The blonde man clad in the usual New Feather's garb is none too pleased with this switch once he gathers his bearings, and he sets off in a direction that might be

[Oh. Well. This is definitely good/bad news. YES, ONE OF LUFFY'S NAKAMA IS BACK, THE KID WILL BE THRILLED. But damn. Why did he have to get stuck here again? Shitty Malnosso. Oh Sanji, you're rubbing off on him.

He lets out a light sigh before replying. But he does sound happy.]

Hey, Sanji. Welcome back.

[voice]

[odastillhatesme]

Yo, Ace. [The reply is after a long pause. It doesn't matter if he's leaving or Ace is arriving, after all. The chef still has to remind himself how fucked up Luceti is, taking his captain's dead brother as prisoner.]

I'd say I'm glad to be back, but... [Well, he could say it and be telling the truth, is his current problem.]

[voice]

[hiken_ace]

[What, would you rather Luffy never saw him again. Just wait til I possibly maybe somewhere in the distant future canon update him. He snerks.]

Yeah, I get it. Not exactly overjoyed to be here, huh?

Though Luffy will be when he sees you.

[voice]

[odastillhatesme]

Heh, I bet. [Hearing about Luffy puts a grin on his face]

You and the crew been keeping him out of trouble?

[voice] SEE? NORMAL.

[hiken_ace]

You think anyone else here's got the patience to do that? [He chuckles.]

He's been doing all right, though.

[voice] I KNOW. WHAT IS THIS MADNESS.

[odastillhatesme]

Right, right, you've got plenty of experience in that shitty department.

And glad to hear it. [Once less thing to worry about.] I didn't see him at the house when I dropped by.

[hiken_ace]

Shitty? Naaaah. A pain in the ass sometimes? YEAH.

He's not there? Must've gone out for a bit. Hey, if you're there, do you mind if I meet up with you?

[odastillhatesme]

I'm at the bar, but I can head out if you need me to. [or you can join him for a drink. Sanji needs someone to drag his ass back home if he tries to waste himself]

[voice] NO FAIRY. CURLY EYEBROWSMAKE IT COOLER.

[hiken_ace]

No, it's all right. I'll come to you. [He'll start heading out and arrive at the bar shortly. Looooooking around the bar for you. Damn how hard is it to recognize that-- oh wait, there he is.]

Sanji! Good to see you again!

[voice] /SUNGLASSES. Deal with it.

[odastillhatesme]

[The chef responds with a lazy wave, nodding at a chair for Ace to sit in. He hides it well, but it's still a little jarring seeing someone he knows is dead in the flesh.

... Whelp, he's sure time will take care of that. Luceti brought him back; he can't imagine it's gonna let him waltz out here soon]

Yo, Fire Fist. [He takes a sip of his wine with a brief smile]

[voice] You're lucky I like Sanji.

[hiken_ace]

[He takes a seat, and then notices Sanji's new look. Well, he certainly approves.]

Yo. Cool look. The goatee looks good on you. [NOT A SMUDGE, LUFFY.]

[odastillhatesme]

... [Ace...]

[action]

[odastillhatesme]

[You are such a bro.]

[voice]

[odastillhatesme]

[If you were a lady, he'd drown you in hearts. But as you are definitely all male, shirtless boy, Sanji only greets the compliment with a smirk]

Aren't you loose with the compliments.

[voice]

[hiken_ace]

[He chuckles.]

Just sayin' the truth.

[voice]

[odastillhatesme]

You don't look too bad yourself for being stuck in this shithole. [Y'know... alive and everythi-- Goddamn it, stop jumping on that train of thought]
