prologue, friday, post-investigation w/ sanji

[alchemenace]

[ i like when they talk in the kitchen so even tho there is no real reason for sanji to come back here except to cook i'm making this convo close to the kitchen you can't stop me i have the set-up power

also varian was specifically looking for sanji so it makes sense shut up. he seems relieved when he spots him ]

Sanji? You're-- are you okay?

Comments

[alchemenace]

I don't know. I haven't talked to that many people.

[ it's quick. he obviously doesn't want to linger on that thought. ]

Do you?

[concasse]

[Yeah, a bit quick. Sanji's eyes rest on Varian more heavily.]

Honestly? No one I've talked to has really mentioned their home that much.

[A sigh]

Not that it means anything.

[alchemenace]

...Yeah. If they really were going to go through with-- something like this, it's not like they'd talk about it beforehand.

[concasse]

Exactly.

I know it's not much help, but try and keep yourself collected for the day tomorrow. We're gonna need clear heads for it.

[alchemenace]

[ there's some weak laughter from varian ]

That's. That's easier said than done. But I'll do my best.
