...His legs - I don't get how you can let something with that many legs crawl all over you. And. AND- ...Alright, maybe I could feel his shell. Maybe. Possibly.

I don't think he's gonna remember again. It's better to accept that and move on than to spend too long hoping... He's definitely been avoiding him. He says he hasn't even talked to him. And that he doesn't know HOW to talk to him. I told him he needs to try anyway.

Asshole. I could've made him a cake if he'd said something. Funny how he turned out to be harder to get close to than Lucci, huh?

He doesn't crawl ALL OVER. He just walks on my arm a little, or just sits there on the back of my hand. He's really good! Some of the other ones we got try to fly away sometimes. Yeah, that's the spirit! It's not gross or anything, I PROMISE. He's pretty smooth with a little bit of texture.

...well. Maybe not. I don't really think it was a fruit anymore, because that definitely would've worn off by now, even if he ate more than one. But that doesn't mean that he won't still remember again, does it? It's kind of easy for me to FORGET that Luffy doesn't remember everything, actually. He seems just like his regular self, except then he'll ask about something and remind me... Hm.

Doesn't know how to--what the heck is THAT supposed to mean?? He's Luffy; you just talk to him the same as always, right? He does need to try! I don't think it'll be BAD. If he's worried Luffy's still mad about...all that stuff that happened before, with Robin...he's NOT. ...I guess I should just be talking to Lucci about this and not you, though.

I'm pretty sure he just came to Sunny because of Lucci. He obviously doesn't care about any of the rest of us.

He won't jump at me, right? If I touch him. Hold him still!

Bottom line is, even if he's forgotten some stuff, at least he still knows who you and I are. He doesn't really know Lucci as anyone other than the guy who kidnapped Robin-chan. And I don't think Lucci's worried about that, in particular - I think it's just the whole situation. I dunno, he's gonna have to deal with it at some point. But maybe letting him do it on his own time is best?

Well...yeah. I mean, the first part. HE wasn't the one who was close to Luffy. If anything, it's the exact opposite. Still, as long as they've been here, you'd think something would've changed by now.

Haha! No; he won't JUMP! Just don't surprise him, that's all.

Mm. I guess. Did he say anything else to you about it?

Do you talk to him much? I...don't. I mean, at least I TRIED a few times, though. He's...I still don't know what the heck that guy's thinking.

.......Hm.

Not much, aside from the not knowing how to talk to him. He hasn't commented since.

Nope. I don't get him, either. It's like he always holding back or something - he's too polite. Feels fake.

Hm?

...I guess Luffy kind of WAS one of his best friends. Maybe even his best friend.

Yes! Fake! That's it EXACTLY! That's what I've been SAYING! He's still not being himself, right? He's still not being HONEST with us, and we're supposed to be nakama!

He's...not completely horrible...

I'd say he was. Luffy introduced him to the concept of nakama and he's the reason Lucci joined us and all.

Yeah, that's how it feels. It's annoying. I just want him to like...snap and blow up at somebody. Then I can kick his ass and be done with it.

He's not horrible at all!

Yeah. It makes sense. I guess Luffy just...has that effect on people.

...you could always just kick his ass for no reason. Maybe that would break the ice.

...Lemme hold him.

I think several people would wonder what the hell was going on if I just up and tried to break his nose.

OKAY!! You won't freak out when I put him in your hands, right?

...you could say it was to...defend Nami's honor or something. I dunno.

I make no promises. Do NOT go far. If I flip out and throw him in the air, you have to catch him!

...Did he do something to Nami-san?!

You won't! But I'll stay right here, don't worry.

Well...

Okay, no. At least I don't think so.

Right. Okay. ...Tell me when you've given him to me.

Maybe I'll pretend I thought he stole something from the galley.

I figure you'd be able to TELL considering he'll be in your hands before I say anything

You never know. He MIGHT have!

I DON'T WANT TO SEE IT, it's better if I keep my eyes closed, then I can pretend I'm not actually holding him-- Shit- Fuck, was that him?! That didn't...FEEL like a bug - what the hell was that??! And. And...where did it go? Er...

...that was just a test run. GOOD THING, TOO. Jeez.

...You startled me!

How could I STARTLE you?? I did a countdown and everything!!!

Well I was EXPECTING Shitty Bug, so...I don't know! Shut up.

...do you wanna try again? Maybe you should keep your eyes OPEN this time.

Oh, good call. Should make him get in here and clean up the sugar while I'm at it. Awesome!

I DID try to catch it. My hands were still full of bug, though.

Eh, s'fine, just a dish. And I threw it kind of far. Got sugar all in my hair now, ugh.

I guess it's a good things I didn't use the gravy bowl instead.
