[Anyone on a stroll through the woods, or even in town might see a chef out today - a very quiet one, dressed in a New Feather's garb and lacking all of his usual exuberance

Which is why she doesn't recognize him when she comes upon him floating around. Amelia stops and watches for a moment, then slowly shakes her head.]
Is that supposed to be normal for you?
[Because it's Luceti. Normal greatly varies.]

Forgive me! I won't be able to serve a lady such as you properly~! [His pride be damned; he's not gonna spill food over his customers.]

Then you probably should work on getting down.
[Not that Amelia's inviting him to serve her, mind. She doesn't heed flirting.]

But there isn't. Too bad.]
Not interested.

Is there anything to drink I can get you, first?

No, Amelia doesn't actually want to know. And she definitely doesn't want to watch, so instead she just walks straight ahead to a table, doing her very best to ignore anything and everything that defines the man on the ceiling as a flirt.
And since he's on the ceiling, Amelia's not going to risk any drinks that might stain or get sticky.]
Just water.

Right away, then~! [He kicks himself off the ceiling and heads straight into the kitchen, twisting away to avoid any bodies or walls. This is actually a job he gave to Sayo, but seeing as she's not... available...
Before the thought is complete, Sanji turns his back on it and just concentrates on getting the lady a glass of water. Then he floats back in the dining area. His condition aside, he's every bit his professional self when it comes to serving, and gracefully sets it down (and the menu) in front of her.]
I can give you a few minutes to decide, or maybe you'd prefer a recommendation?

No thanks. I'll pick for myself. [If you want cold, stranger, you've got it. Amelia's all but ignoring him in favor of opening her menu. Hopefully it works out that she can just pretend this guy and his jello-spine just don't exist.]
Reply
Alright then, Miss~! I'll be back shortly for your order. [Off he shoots, presumably to gather other orders and swoon after other ladies, but six, seven minutes pass and he's on his way back, just as excitable as before]
And have you decided~?
Reply
But, weirdness aside, he's keeping the flirting down to tolerable levels. Maybe he'll actually leave her alone after she orders, and Amelia can eat in peace.]
This. [Amelia points to a certain item on the menu, then holds it up toward Sanji.]
Why are you floating up there, anyway?

Just a shitty experiment. Give it a week, and it'll disappear like everything else.

Three weeks?! [Though it might not be good.] The Malnosso really keep people for that long?
...This is the sort of thing they do to people?
Reply
It depends, I'm afraid. [He hesitates, but figures giving her the truth is far less cruel than forcing her to find out the hard way] They can keep people for months, though that's rare.
[And her second question... hn. He slips the menu under his arm, thoughtful and somber all at once] They can do just about anything. Once they turned me into a damn ten-year-old for two weeks. [And that was probably the kindest they'd been]

You said you just got back. Do they--did you see anyone else from the village? [And now the words come out faster with Amelia not quite meaning for them to, but worry does that.] One of my friends got taken, and if I could find out anything about how he is, it'd be a huge help.
