[Brooke is seated drinking tea at his piano as he records his NV message]
Good day Siren's Port, I happen to have a few announcements to make. I have taken back complete ownership of my store if my crew does not object to this, and have been working to get my musical part of the store running in the back. Brooke's is officially open as a Musical

...Also, do you have any more room there?

Why, do you need a place to stay? After inviting Perona to stay with us, I'm not sure how keen my crew is on me inviting more people to stay with us. But I might be able to come up with something to have a cute young lady like yourself staying with us. Yohohoho!

--...[She looks slightly annoyed.] I guess I do. Since they kicked me out of the Tower Apartments and such! Hmph, totally disrespectful, but the place was a dump anyway!
...Do you know anywhere else open?

Ah yes, I remember back when I was in the tower apartments... that was back when I was salvaging musical instruments in the hopes that I could open my own musical store. You're right though, the place is a bit of a dump.
Hmm... that is quite a difficult situation that I am all to familiar with. Do you currently earn a steady income?

Brooke! You sound pretty busy, my friend. I'm almost worried you won't have time for those violin lessons anymore - and here I was thinking of bringing Sakura-chan down to meet you.

Is it your Sakura? Or one of the others you may have met while in the Port?

Then I'll look forward to the day when the pupil can properly rival the master, but until then~

Sadly no, she's not my Princess... but she is a variation of her. Their souls share the same light.

I have no objection. It's always been yours. [Even if Brooke wasn't here when Zoro arrived, it still bared his name and signs of his touch.]
Who did you hire? [Wait, but, nevermind that--Zoro blanches slightly before drawing himself up with a very flat grimace.]
She's staying where?

Well I hired this young man named Akito I believe, and... well I offered the job to some other people, but I'll kind of need them to report in if they hope to ever be counted as an employee.
With us. [Sips tea] Indefinitely. [Sips more tea] She seemed delighted at the chance to see you again. [Siiiiiiip] Isn't it great? We have another young lady staying with us! Yohohoho!

Zoro makes a note of the mentioned name with a slight nod, eyes slipping shut for a moment.]
I'll watch for them.
[. . . . Indefinitely. Though he had lived with Perona once before, and that proved to be more than okay, considering he was able to train with Mihawk at the same time, Zoro had been expecting something more along the lines of "return to members of crew = end staying with ghost woman." It would seem not, however, according to Brooke. ... And she was delighted to see him. Yes, that is great and calls for the tiniest of grimaces #2.] Great. [It's not Luffy's restaurant to oversee but he is still captain, so Zoro ventures a question.] What did Luffy say when you told him?

[Brooke sipped his tea feeling rather concerned]
But to answer your question, I haven't exactly been able to run it by him yet. She's not exactly joining the Straw Hat Pirates or anything, so I don't think that it should be a problem with him. However, as my captain I will respect any decision he may have on the matter.
