[ New idea unlocked... he should cook Sanji one of the basic meals he knows how to make, like fried pork cutlet. He knows Sanji well enough now that he knows he won't stick up his nose at someone else's cooking efforts, even if they're a man. He'll keep this thought to himself though, it should be a surprise... if Sanji is ever out of the kitchen long enough for him to manage it.

He smiles, encouraging. ]

Right, so maybe try looking for someone who'd do things like that for you. Doing a little favor for you now and then to make life easier. [ It's very obvious the idea is appealing to Sanji... it's a little cute. ] Someone who thinks about when you must be hungry, you know?

[ He'll just try to keep the analogies in the realm of food... that seems to be the easiest way to break through to Sanji. After he says that, though, he finally goes back to eating, leaning back in his chair again now that he feels he took a step forward towards making things clearer for him. Hopefully. ]
