[hgeegh]

[He nods. He'll drop everything to be of assistance, whenever it may be.

For worse, huh.]

Me neither. I didn't think the match ceremony would be so intense. But I'm fine. [Just worried and sober.] . . . How are you feeling?

[makeine]

[ anna suddenly feels like she's going to be asked that a lot. well, between minami and mitaka... she gets it, but she'd really rather move on... ]

A-okay! If I wasn't, would I be here?

[ systematically putting together bits of spices and trying them until they taste vaguely similar to a dish she's had all of once as the night goes on. ]

[hgeegh]

Heh. Guess not.

[This is the game they're going to play, eh? He doesn't want to keep pushing, so he decides to change course to something more enjoyable for them.]

You mentioned before that you make your own lunches. Do you like cooking?

[makeine]

[ no man wants to push with her...... ]

I do! I'm not amazing at it, but it's really fun. I learned so I'd be a perfect wife. I know how to needle-felt too.

[ that's also fun!!!!!! making cute little dudes!!!! ]

[hgeegh]

[She's too powerful to push.

Cooking in order to be the perfect wife . . . He would swoon if not for everything else.]

You do? What do you make?

[makeine]

Cute li'l dudes.

[ never elaborated on so world is my oyster. ]

Like rabbits and mice.

[hgeegh]

Really? You know, I'm pretty fond of mice myself.

[Because they ate his food when nobody else would.]

[makeine]

Really? I thought a chef like you would hate them.

[ that's so sad. where's remy. ]

[hgeegh]

[Remy dearest.]

It's a pain when they get into the stores, but their only crime is hunger. I feed and release the ones I catch in traps.

[makeine]

[ whoa... she really has to work hard to make him and. mitaka work out. anna's pausing in her spice mixing to look up at his turned back. ]

You're so kind, Sanji-kun. I doubt a lot of others would see things that way. Even I didn't, but I totally get it now.

[hgeegh]

[Sometimes he cooks them, but that's another story for another time.

The compliment warms him, of course. Anna never has a shortage of things to say, and times like these remind him that she's as thoughtful as she is fierce.]

It's just my policy. Just like how you never give up, I refuse to let anyone go hungry.

[makeine]

[ "she's thoughtful" nukumizu would disagree, but he's also dense as bricks. ]

An admirable one for sure.

[ hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.




it's missing something kicky. pepper? peppery... ]

Is it because you work in a restaurant? Or is it like a family creed type of thing? My dad's always telling me not to be a sheep. I don't really get what he does with animals, but he really presses on herd dynamics...

[hgeegh]

Something like that. [She's warmer than she knows. In some ways, the answer is both.] I went without food for a couple months before. That's the entire reason I ended up at the restaurant.

[ . . . Anyway:] But sheep, eh? Are you and your dad close?

[makeine]

A couple months?! I think I'd die if I didn't eat for a whole day!

[ she's absolutely been in and out to graze on snacks. this girl really does love food. ]

And I guess so. I'm no "daddy's little girl" but he does always make sure I have the best cuts of meat and gives me life advice. Like how you can't eat beef until you're in high school.

[ apparently the yanami family situation is considered "pandora's box" by nukumizu so we avoid it when possible. he seems protective, anyway. ]

[hgeegh]

[Fair and valid, because he would die in her stead if she didn't eat for a whole day.

Pandora's box . . . ]

Huh? Is there such a rule?

[makeine]

Uh, yeah? That's why I was so excited to get into high school... I could finally get some juicy, succulent beef into this baby.

[ ...

it might not have been cow meat he was talking about. ]

[hgeegh]

[Wh. What?

Sanji has to twist toward her for this one.]

Uh . . . Exactly what kind of beef are you referring to, Yanami-san?

[makeine]

Cow? What other kind is there?

[ ... ]

Oh, I guess buffalo and bison might count?

[hgeegh]

[He nods quickly. Okay, phew. For a second there, he wasn't sure what to think.]

You must really like beef. Should I make something with it another day, then?

[makeine]

Please!!! Rare as you can get it!!! Nothing beats that primal chew!!!

[ she speaks to me jae. but i am so sorry. ]

[hgeegh]

[Never apologize.]

Don't worry. For you, I'll make it as flavorful as it can get.

[He gestures at the plate.]

Speaking of, how are the spices?

[makeine]

Missing something. But I don't know what.

[ a tilt of her head. hmmmmmmmmm. ]

Something... something... I thought it might've been pepper, but no. It just doesn't make me wanna come back for more.

[ but

that could also be because they're uncooked??? spices better when they're heated. ]
