Want to sit and chat with an eternally amused archaeologist? Whether [written] , [action], or [voice]. Just remember, if you're going to dance with the devil, best bring good shoes.

[Sanji went to the library.

This in and of itself isn't strange. The chef often drops by after working through the latest cookbook or fantasy novel that's attracted his attention. Some of his off-days from the restaurant have been spent behind a pile of books that would make Robin proud.

Which is fitting in its irony, that she's the exact reason he slides himself through the shelves of books today. Just on the off-chance. He has no idea if his guess will be right, but if she's anything like her adult self...

It's worth looking. Even if he's wrong, that means one less place to look]

[November 16th, Action] odastillhatesme November 19 2011, 06:24:31 UTC

[Ha. Well, he's been caught redhanded, and smiles with his head bent forward in disgrace.]

You really think so, huh?

But you're right. Everyone lies, even when they don't mean or want to. [He folds his arms] Maaah, I shouldn't be making promises I can't keep.

[November 16th, Action] toujoursbouton November 19 2011, 06:28:29 UTC

[She licks the sugar from her fingers before turning the page.]

You shouldn't.
[She nods again]

But I bet you'd keep the promises you did make if they were important, ne, Sanji-san?

[November 16th, Action] odastillhatesme November 19 2011, 06:30:37 UTC

[He answers the question seriously]

Of course. I have things and people I want to protect. [Relationships he wants to salvage]

[November 16th, Action] toujoursbouton November 19 2011, 06:33:10 UTC

[She smiles. That's what... That's why... Because promises were always so important. She looks up at him again]

Why do you want to talk to me so much? Were before-times really that special? [She can't believe they were. They couldn't be if she was changed. They had to be terrible somehow.]

[November 16th, Action] odastillhatesme November 19 2011, 06:43:03 UTC

[Being forgotten by a crew member is no new circumstance for Sanji. This is Luceti; shit happens.

It's Robin's dismissal of the past that hurts the most. The chef's smile nearly aches]

You being with us are some of the best memories I have the honor of remembering.

[November 16th, Action] toujoursbouton November 19 2011, 06:47:21 UTC

! [This blush? Your fault. She tries to cover it with a book. You might also hear a tiny squeak.

After she gets some composure, though, her fingers tighten over the book.]

That's not true. I was reborn because I was unhappy. He wouldn't take me away and change me if I was happy. That's what being reborn means. That's why . Don't say things like that.

[November 16th, Action] odastillhatesme November 19 2011, 06:56:18 UTC

Robin-chan, I can't speak for how happy you were - just myself.

And I was happy having you as my nakama. [No amount of protesting will ever change those words]

[November 16th, Action] toujoursbouton November 19 2011, 07:20:37 UTC

[That doesn't make sense. If he was happy she doesn't understand why she wouldn't be. But he wouldn't have made her reborn if she wasn't happy-- it's all very confusing.]

I guess I wasn't... [A frown. Even though it doesn't make sense.] But you seem really nice. I'm sure you were a lot of fun.

[November 16th, Action] odastillhatesme November 19 2011, 07:29:03 UTC

Yeees~! Waiting on Robin-chan hand and foot was always the highlight of my day. [An exaggerated sigh. ;; HE MISSES THOSE DAYS. It also reminds him of something.]

Oi, did you know? I'm a world-class chef! [he points to his chest proudly] So if you're ever hungry, I'll make you whatever you want!

[November 16th, Action] toujoursbouton November 19 2011, 22:46:17 UTC

[Waiting on her hand and foot? Why would any adult do that? Maybe it was because she was a -san back then. She must have been really cool to have someone like Sanji-san to want to do that. But she must have been unhappy, too, otherwise... It was a puzzle. Maybe she could ask him. Maybe he would answer and not get mad.]

[Before she can dwell on that too much Sanji-san speaks again.]

Wow, really? [He's even cooler than she thought! She would like some good food but all she's really supposed to eat is strange tasting porridge...but she knows better than to accept food from before-times people. Still she can't help but be interested.]

You don't look like a chef. They're supposed to wear big hats and aprons and things. [She takes a moment to find the picture in a book and shows it to him.] And also a mustache...but I guess your beard would sort of work for that.

[She looks at the picture of the middle-aged chef and then at him again]

I guess you look old enough.

[November 16th, Action] odastillhatesme November 20 2011, 04:36:14 UTC

[He chuckles softly, absentmindedly rubbing his beard and deciding he better not mention he technically has an awesome mustache. Enough people have given him hell for that already.]

Sounds like the shithead geezer who trained me. He has a mustache almost as long as his body. [He fancies her with a smile] But it's what's on the inside that's important. Anyone can be a chef if they've got the training and creativity to match.

Maybe you'd like a demonstration sometime?

[November 16th, Action] toujoursbouton November 20 2011, 05:30:02 UTC

[Robin tries to picture this and fails. That is a really long mustache.]

Maybe he'll come in Luceti one day. [It would be fun meeting someone who looks that weird. She's a little surprised though that everyone can be a chef. Doesn't it take someone really special to be able to do something like that?

As for watching him... She really shouldn't. But she wants to see exactly what a world class chef does...]

Okay. But I'm not going to eat anything.

[For one, he'd get really mad. For another...he might do something funny to the food.]

[November 16th, Action] odastillhatesme November 25 2011, 05:03:35 UTC

[Zeff in Luceti, away from his treasure... The idea has crossed his mind before, and even hypothetically it stings his insides with reckless fear. When Robin changes the subject, he's glad for it.

... Despite the surprised face he shoots at her]

Why not? [He leans against the table again] Food is meant to be eaten with the eyes and the mouth, after all, Robin-chan. [And it doesn't feel right, cooking something she won't be able to savor twice]

[November 16th, Action] toujoursbouton November 28 2011, 20:28:27 UTC

You might do something funny to it. [Nothing wrong with voicing this fear. It's true and after all, now he knows she really is smart and is on to him.]

He says not to trust you, so I won't.

[Much]

[November 16th, Action] odastillhatesme November 29 2011, 12:10:38 UTC

[The painful hypocrisy of this arrangement Sanji will point out at a later date. That said, all he offers is a sigh at first, looking near-offended without it being directed at her.]

I wouldn't consider myself a chef if I messed with a young lady's food. [Or any food, for that matter]

But since Robin-chan doesn't trust me, I won't force the issue. [For now.]
