second try ☀ action/video

[risingspirit]

[Late evening. Between the river and houses one through seven, Coby has set up a small campfire and spit. Though he's using the time to himself to think things over, the number of fish and sweet potatoes he has cooking (or has already cooked) are far more than one person can be expected to eat

Like Luffy said, they won't be back for a while. I'm just dropping by town.

[Straw Hat filter]

[risingspirit]

I thought it was a bit too quiet for you all to have come back.

[Straw Hat filter]

[oda_hates_me]

[That earns a lift eyebrow and a smirk.]

How you settling in so far? [he doesn't know Coby well, but he's treasured by Luffy and even Zoro. Some of his usual detachment aimed at New Feathers eases]

[risingspirit]

Not bad. I mean, I've got a place to stay, and it's really rather nice here, but...

I need to get back to the Marines.

[Straw Hat filter]

[oda_hates_me]

You've read the guides on this place already, right?

[Straw Hat filter]

[risingspirit]

Most of it, yeah...

[Straw Hat filter]

[oda_hates_me]

It could be a while before you get back.

I've been stuck in this shithole for months. Luffy I think over a year.

[So depressing. ;; Coby doesn't say anything for a moment or two.]

Yeah, I... I'll just have to adjust.

[Straw Hat filter]

[oda_hates_me]

We'll help out when we can. [Sanji will, anyway. He's no Smoker]

[Straw Hat filter]

[risingspirit]

[Well, technically...]

Thanks... If Luffy-san hasn't given up hope, then I won't either.

[Shhhhhhhhh >8|]

You two go way back, don't you?

[Straw Hat filter]

[risingspirit]

I met him before he had a crew.

[Straw Hat filter]

[oda_hates_me]

Eeeeeeh.

I bet he hasn't changed much.

[Straw Hat filter]

[risingspirit]

He really hasn't, no! But that's a good thing.
