[Sup, everyone, my bff got mallynapped and a bunch of people got hurt so I'm over here drinking my woes away. He's dealt with the idiot getting kidnapped by droids before, but it still calls for a shot of whiskey. Or two. Or three.
[Are they all in separate corners or what? Nami's tempted to leave him be, but she knows Vash got taken yesterday, and Wolfwood's a hell of a lot closer to him than Nami is. She'll at least...lift a glass to him on the other side of the road. Long distance toast, man. 8|]
[Actually, he's chilling near the center of the aisle. Gotta be fair and balanced to everyone, amirite? But he frowns sympathetically at the toast, before raising his.
And then, as he's sitting, he leans oh-so-nonchalantly over his journal.
Have a little note, Nami.]
You doing better, Navigator?
['Okay' is not the appropriate word. He knows no one's really 'okay', at the moment.]
But I should be used to him getting into messes. If we're lucky, they'll realize how annoying he is and throw him right back in a few days.
[Sigh. He likes that writing doesn't convey worry, though just by looking at the way he ruffles his hair and SIGHS probably gives him away. A little tipsy and grumpy about it, at the moment.]
I've been on the fence about it. But seeing everyone else in such jolly spirits makes me lean more toward joining them by drinking my weight in liquor, yes.
[...you know, that actually does draw a smile out of her. It's weak and she has a faint urge to burst into tears, which is...purely because she's at least partway drunk by now. But. She stares at those words for a while.]
Just give me a bottle, bartender.]

...for someone whose face seems permanently set in corpse-of-a-lineface mode. Though she's amused at the journal note despite herself.]

[They took Katara, too. And Vivi. But she sees that hair ruffling.]
At least Vash is tough and annoying. We'll keep an eye out.

Planning on drinking until you can't feel your face?
[Just wondering. Not that he has an idea of why you're here, or anything...]

We can wait for things to be better together. How's that sound?

Better than waiting alone.

... And also flop loosely in a chair next to him, propping a lazy head up on his palm.
Guess how many he's had tonight? Spoilers: It's a lot]
Drinkin' by yourself?

[Hrmmph, does Sanji know Vash is MIA? Best not say so unless asked.]
Though I guess there's a lot of us drinking tonight...
[ >_> seriously, did you see this room?]

Just been one of those shitty weeks.

It'll pass. We'll do better again-and then we'll rinse and repeat.
... But things will get better.
