[A lot of people don't like the birds in the air. They're upset, scandalized, or even angry, like Sanji here is. His anger doesn't come from being forced to kiss, though: it's not having gotten lucky with a single person under the dulcet birdsong that has him mad

[ SHE'S JUST... walking by, doing her thing. having been so lucky that she's managed to avoid the turtledoves.

but seeing Sanji just... leaning there makes her stop and wave.

and then spot the turtledove.

and she's backing the hell up ]

Yeah, let's not...

[flambage]

[He waves back, and guess what? Time to feign innocence.]

Let's not what, Tam-san? Is something bothering you?

[haplessing]

No, just, uh --

[ a pause and pointing ]

Do you know there's a turtledove right there, right?

[flambage]

Huh?

[Looking upward and... blinking.]

That's a funny bird. It's called a turtledove, you said?

[yamanaka]

[yeahhhh, she's just kind of used to it at this point, so she'll just be walking by with a wave :D hasn't ... spotted dat bird yet ...]

[flambage]

[Babe spotted! Hee heeeee, time to play it coo', wave back, be all smooth...]

Ino-san! It's been too long!

[yamanaka]

[a little laugh :)] How have you been settling in?

[flambage]

Pretty well, I must say! You and everyone else I met my first day were just so accommodating I couldn't help but feel right at home.

[doublehats]

[since this is a commonly-traveled area then I hope you don't mind little bro stumbling upon you right about

now]

...Sanji, what are you doing?

[flambage]

Hnn?

[Looking around, and.. oh right. Looking down. Have a lineface as promised, little buddy.]

I'm just having a lean. What do you want, doctor?

[looks at

looks at the bird nearby]

...

[doublehats]

Oh, okay!

[STAYS]

Sanji, you know about that Christmas ball, right? Are you gonna go? They didn't say if we have to, so I dunno if I have to or not. I don't really want to. And then you have to wear formal clothes and I don't know a lot about those.

[hey there, Sanji! Faye doesn't even notice him, shifting her shopping bags on her arm as she's wandering into the castle from town~]

[flambage]

[Well hell~o there, honey! You're the greatest thing to ever happen to him! He spent a lot of time preparing for this moment, so thankfully, no colossal nosebleed. Faye just gets to deal with stupid.]

Pardon me, miss! Need some help with those?

[luckyvalentine]

[oh, lucky her!]

[glances over and, even though she really had the bags under control, she wasn't about to pass up the opportunity to make someone do something for her]

Why, thank you.

[flambage]

Of course, of course!

[He'll just be going over and taking them. All of them. No woman should have to carry anything by herself.]

Lead the way, miss!

[passes without suspecting a thing. Nemo does, however, hastily urging that they travel in another direction...

too...late...]

[flambage]

[Girls senses tingling and-! And. Huh. This one's too young for what he was hoping for, but hey.]

Oi, young miss! You getting around alright?

[foronewish]

? Y-Yes. [sorry, bit hard to hear him when her alter ego is going nuttier than a candy bar on this end]

[flambage]

[Oh, settle down, head-voice! She's just a kid, there's no wicked intentions in his perverted head today, just chivalry!]

Great! I'd hate for any lady of such grace to go without help if it was needed.
