*Zoro frowns slightly. Briefly, the more sensible part of him suggest ending this silliness now. Telling Sanji he was right about him earlier, that he really has no interest in any of that. Ever.

He takes a moment to stall think, and drink, before answering.*

"Hypothetically. I would wait until I was sure I wouldn't be wasting my time, and I let them know and take it from there."

*Zoro pauses, realizing that answer probably isn't the best if they're talking about relationships and not the meaningless encounters he's indulged in. His brow furrows some in faint annoyance at this whole thing.*

"But, look. I haven't had anything serious, and I've never needed to initiate something. I just know that I don't like dancing around any subject, and I don't care about so-called romantic gestures."

[ooc: it took me forever to think of what this zoro might say, orz. i wanted to give sanji something more substantial, but the muse wasn't cooperating.]

"Huh. Doesn't sound like much of a plan. Just wait and see. And what do you mean, wasting your time, you mean when you like someone they aren't automatically worth fighting for? Somehow I'm disappointed. I figured you of all people would be more...passionate and firey. But you seem more cautious...AH, because you haven't been really serious probably."

[At least I know he's never been serious before. And that he does have some experience. He's obviously not serious about me either. Maybe I can suggest a one night stand or something. Get him out of my systerm...that wouldn't ruin us as nakama, would it?]

*Zoro bristles a little.*

"Why would I fight for someone who had no interest in me? Don't misunderstand--if I fall in love, I'd give my all. But hell yes I'm cautious first, passionate later. I'm not offering my devotion to someone who doesn't want it."

*He looks down at his drink as he calms.*

"I have to wait and see. Especially if they're--" [Don't. Don't.] "--already important."

"Who wouldn't want your devotion? I mean, has anyone actually rejected it?"

[I just can't picture it...If you had someone so strong and good looking dedicated to you...you'd feel warm, safe, special, happy...I bet. If that sounds good to me what does that mean? I'm not the princess, am I?!?!?]

[demon_cutter]

*Zoro looks at Sanji, somewhat surprised by the first question. Like the thought of someone turning him down is so ridiculous. Like the cook really does think he's some kind of great catch. It takes him a second to speak.*

"I can think of plenty of people who wouldn't want it. Guys who are looking for one of those...princesses, you know. They probably wouldn't want it."

[sanjikuroashi]

"I don't think anyone is looking for a princess. Not even me. To me women should be treated with respect and reverence like a princess. But I'm not
looking for one...not really."

*sanji looks into his empty glass*

"I've never had a serious relationship either."

[Or any.]

"So who knows."

[demon_cutter]

*Zoro looks at him a moment more, then returns to nursing his drink.*

"Hm."

['Who knows' indeed. Wait and see...]

[sanjikuroashi]

[Huh. No real reaction. Guess he isn't interested after all. Shit. I guess I can only fight it. Maybe Chopper can give me something...]

"I guess so."

[ooc: *bangs head on desk*]

[demon_cutter]

*Another swallow of liquid courage, and Zoro lets the question slip out.*

"So you wouldn't rule out being with a guy?"

Re: [ooc: *bangs head on desk*]

[sanjikuroashi]

"It'd have to be a really extrodinary one...only the best, if they don't have curves to offer, but
yeah. I'd consider if the right one."

[demon_cutter]

[ooc: I'M SORRY these are taking forever. This Zoro has no idea what to do in this situation, poor thing. I ask him what he would say and he just looks at me like, I DON'T KNOWWWW CAN'T I JUST JUMP HIM?]

*Zoro looks at Sanji as he thinks about this. And Sanji's comment about him being "quite the catch", and asking who wouldn't want his devotion, and everything, and he wonders if that's enough to go on and if he should say something now instead of waiting any longer.*

[No. You don't even know what you want yet. Keep your mouth shut.]

*So instead he manages a bit of a curious smirk.*

"Interesting."

[sanjikuroashi]

[Huh? What's with that reaction? Maybe he IS interested? Fuck! I can't tell at all what any of this shit means any more. Maybe I should be take his and Robins advice...Wait and see...]

"Oh? That means you don't mind me hunting in your dating pool? Well, I guess your type of guy wouldn't be mine...probably."

[demon_cutter]

*Zoro snorts faintly.*

"I don't know if I have a type. But chances are, probably not." [Unless you're just really into yourself.]

[sanjikuroashi]

*Sanji snickers. He isn't entirely sure why, he's just in a good mood suddenly.*

[Damn, that was going to be my next question. But it's hopeful that he agrees.]

"Are you suprised? That I'd consider men?"

[demon_cutter]

"Well, yeah."

[But mostly pleased.]

[sanjikuroashi]

"Heh. Me too, actually. Like I said, not much at the Baratie going on...even the one or two pieces of "literature" like that were all that exciting."
