Since leaving Vivi back at Arabasta, no one has caught Nami’s affections.
She’s felt lonely - too lonely - and her bed has felt uncomfortably empty, even on the nights that Robin has slept by her side. There are people all around her, but she can’t help but feel isolated. She’s so happy everything worked out for Vivi, but not having the princess here is almost excruciating.
It’s strange how Robin seems to understand that.
The elder woman always seems to turn up when she’s at her lowest, sitting next to her and running a hand through her hair. It’s different to the way Vivi did - or even to the way she did to the princess - but it’s comfortable, and she can’t help but feel calmed by the raven haired woman’s presence. When Robin envelopes her in a hug, she can’t help but cling to her, letting her heat wash away all the coldness that was once again starting to build.
The realisation that she doesn’t have to be the voice of reason and the pillar of comfort is astounding. She has someone she can lean on now.
It’s a new feeling for Nami, but she has always been good at exploration.
