Prudes.

You'd better not be including me in that.

No, no. Just a general statement.

...I feel like it would make sense for me to be angry with him, but I'm not. I can't be.

Angry at Usopp? Yeah, I think you're better off not. It wouldn't help anything.

I know it wouldn't help anything, but I keep wanting to be, and then...I don't know. He'll say something or look depressed and I just give up.

Why do you want to be mad at him?

That was the wrong choice of words - more that I keep starting to be angry at him. I was for a while, and I told him so, and he - I don't know, he took it so well that I couldn't keep it up. I think I just...wanted him to yell at me, or something. Look, I know it probably doesn't make sense. I can't figure it out myself.

...

Do you feel guilty?

...Yes and no.

I know I should. But I don't, really. But...sometimes I think I might. I don't know. I've never really felt guilt until recently, so...it's complicated.

...I think that I feel similar when I look at him to the way I do when I look at Zoro. So...probably, sometimes, yes.

Mm...I was just wondering if maybe that's part of why you wanted him to yell at you. Or get angry back. So your anger in return would feel more...justified? I dunno.

...

I told him.

Probably. I think the other part is that personally, I'd rather be angry than sad.

...Oh?

Anger's easier to deal with.

It went about as well as I expected it to.

Mm.

What does that mean?

...I dunno - he doesn't trust me not to do it again. He's mad and hurt and he's probably feeling betrayed. We're...waiting, I guess. Fuck, it's not like we're on break, we were never really together, so I guess now we're just. Nothing. Until he says otherwise.

Also, he like fucking karate-chopped me in the goddamn face.

...Well, that's - at least there's still a chance that--

Karate chopped you?

I should've added "if that ever even happens" because for all I know, it won't.

...Yes.

But there's a chance, at least. That's something.

...In the face?

I guess. He was...pretty fucking disgusted.

.....Yes.

So you don't think there's a chance, then.

...You mean he just...smacked you in the face with the side of his hand?

I...want to think there's a chance. I'm just. Not sure.

YES, dammit, you want me to paint you a fucking picture?!

Well...here's hoping, then.

Sorry, I just can't - karate chop. I'm just mystified.

Yeah... I'm not entirely sure how he feels about you at the moment.

Right on the fucking forehead. Think I've got a bruise now.

Hmm. Did he say anything?

...Well, look on the bright side. With all the other bruises you're bound to have after tomorrow, perhaps no one will notice.

Not really. I was going to...say something. Possibly. But I didn't think bringing you up too much would be the best idea, and I really don't think he would've wanted a chat about you anyway.

Che, yeah. I'll just cover it with my hair till then.
