[What a nice, warm day! The birds are a-chirpin', the sun is a-shinin', and everything's calm and casual again.

Perfect. :)

The tree man starts the day by looking left, looking right, and then frolicking to a watering hole created between two large rocks, at the river. He's always preferred them--less chance to be bumped into by

[Not that he's got a problem with you smelling good food, but-]

Smelling good food? But you can't... [The sentences goes unfinished; he isn't gonna air Ian's business around without permission]

[oda_hates_me]

You seem immortal enough.

[... what's so funny. B| Staring at you] Yes. Your shitty back. Watch it.

Re: [voice]

[my_yoke_broke]

Well. It's just.

[he frowns a little, because the idea of it really troubles him]

My healing ability doesn't... work on the wings, yanno? I hurt one a little while back, and it didn't close up like my wounds tend t'do.

[Sanji frowns, too, understanding immediately and not liking it.]

Tch. Figures. Everyone gets a handicap in this place.

Do you keep your wings out in the open, or under your shirt?

Re: [voice]

[my_yoke_broke]

Before, I didn't really cover 'em up that much. But after the guy knicked me, I figured hiding them was a pretty good idea. Maybe, uh... get armor put over 'em. Or something.

It's been kinda tricky, keeping 'em safe here, after that. I've been working on my evadin' skills.

If you drop by the smithy, they might fashion you something like that - better protection than just cloth.

Re: [voice]

[my_yoke_broke]

Yeah, that sounds like a good idea. I've been cutting it waaay too close lately, with all this crazy stuff going on lately. Hopefully it stays kinda peaceful for at least a few weeks, huh?

[voice]

[oda_hates_me]

Maybe, but don't count on it for long.

Better to get shit done quickly rather than tempt fate here.

Re: [voice]

[my_yoke_broke]

I know, I know! I won't tempt nothin', I promise!

[He's not technically lying. He just doesn't realize when he does and doesn't tempt fate. You know how he is.]

Though, I've been having more trouble keeping blades from the front skewering me through to the wings, so I guess I should get me somethin' for the front, too!

[but I'm at least being thorough. you can't fault me for that.]

[voice]

[oda_hates_me]

[No, Sanji can't. And he's glad Ian shows signs of thinking this through]

Probably. Maybe something light? Don't wanna get saddled with too much shitty armor.

Re: [voice]

[my_yoke_broke]

Yeah, it shouldn't be too hard, t'find something light!

[Now there's just stupid poison to worry about. :|a

But that won't kill him, at least. Less pressing matters!]

It's a pretty dang good addition to fight-running~

[voice]

[oda_hates_me]

[See this? Sanji doesn't even get angry! Just frowny-faces]

So glad that's working out for you.

Re: [voice]

[my_yoke_broke]

It is! I've had a pretty good streak lately! The draft wasn't near as bad as the first one, either. I mean, I didn't even get arrowed in the head, this last time!

[voice]

[oda_hates_me]

The he--

Do you usually get hit with shitty arrows?!

Re: [voice]

[my_yoke_broke]

Eeeeh, it depends on the century. The 1500's was a pretty busy time, when it came to arrows! But at this point, the 17th century's been pretty keen to rifles and muskets and stuff.

[From 1662 in his world. CAN YOU DIG IT.]

[voice]

[oda_hates_me]

[NO HE CAN'T]

And in all that shitty time, you haven't learned how to dodge fast enough.
