[ it was a lot easier to think about before realizing that everyone'd be seeing her heart break in real time. the possibility of that... is a lot, and it's not like being a match means anything or everything -- there's more at stake her than some silly girl's hopes for something new, not that
anyone else knows that. how far it goes. only she does, and anna doesn't want to mess that up just because she's selfish and hopeful in spades. maybe it is silly.
... wouldn't it be better if they weren't? then there's a guarantee that will could still do what he needs to do, and... she can deal. they just click, that's all. anna absently accepts the bottle, setting it with the other. ]
Mmhmm. I know.
[ but sort of in that way where she's... sort of heard what he's said, but not exactly zoned into the conversation. ]
Since I'm pretty certain on mine, I'm gonna work trice as hard for everyone else. Even if it's just scoping out who likes who and going with my gut.
[She's lost in a sea of thoughts. He can't blame her for it, nor does he wish to intrude. As much as he wants to help, it's not something he feels he should force when he knows so little.
Then the next best thing is to help her out on what she intends to do.]
[ oh, that's a challenge. but! love isn't always easy! and so, anna turns her thoughts from her own unease to something new. ]
She's a great girl! Pretty dishonest with her feelings, but that's because she's been hurt before. A real romantic. What kinda angle have you been taking with her so far?
[Ha . . . Look at her. She shines so bright when it's for others.]
She is, isn't she? I've cooked for her here and there. But I also promised that I'd take her out on a date, whether or not the producers arrange for it.
[And she's the only one, so he hasn't made an actual pass at anybody since the first day.]
[ that's her girl!!!!!! and... that's the last bit of the spices put together. lord knows if any of these will actually be what she's looking for though. hmmmmmmm. ]
I'll scout out her feelings in a totally discreet way, if you want. We're a couple of besties.

[ haha. definitely a hard to get girl, but anna thinks she's adorable. ]
Let's see... this is a secret I'll share with you only, but she's actually a poet. Maybe you two could write-- well, speak some verses together!
no subject
But the ooey-gooey side is so, so adorable. He loves it when she's flustered.]
Really?! I'd like to read her poems sometime . . . I bet they're as thought-provoking as she is!

Ah, that's all right. I'm glad the two of you are close, but I'll accept any feeling Asa shows me. What matters is that she enjoys herself!

Suit yourself! Buuut if your mind ever changes, Sanji-kun, you know where to find me!
[ with a friendly wink! ]
That goes for any person here too, not just Mii-chan. There's only a couple of people I don't really get along with.
