...Hm.

It could look worse, I guess.

...

Actually.

No. It couldn't.

Goddammit. Whatever.

ANYWAY. Straw Hats, we kinda need to...go pick someone up. I told him we'd be there in...oh...negative five weeks. Ahah. Nami-sa—er. Na...mi.....nngh - she says we're leaving right after lunch. So get your shit together!

P.S. I haven't had a cigarette in almost three days. You've been warned. Not that you NEED to be warned, because I'm totally fine.

P.P.S. Chopper says he's gonna take my stitches out tomorrow. THANK FUCK.

P.P.P.S. Zoro is an idiot.

[ooc: SO SANJI NOW LOOKS LIKE THIS. Minus the smile. As he is none too pleased at the moment, haha. \o/]

That's good. At the rate you're healing, it probably won't be long before you're back to normal.

Yeah, hopefully. I bet it'll take a while before I can shoot like normal again, though.

You'll just have to practice regularly until it gets easier.

Yeah. I dunno, as soon as I'm less sore I should probably try doing...stretches or something to get my arm back to normal.

I know some about that, if Chopper doesn't. Which I'm sure he does anyway.

...I think I know better than to try to do any training stuff with YOU.

That's not training; it's physical therapy. The difference is that for the latter I don't beat you up.

Sure, you say that NOW...

I don't see why training needs to involve beating your students up in the first place. Haven't you ever heard of...positive reinforcement?? Some people respond better to stuff like that, you know!

People who respond better to positive reinforcement than to extreme stress have no business practicing Rokushiki, that's why.

...should you really even be teaching that stuff to people at ALL?

I teach it to people who are committed to it. They have their reasons for being committed, and if I deem that those reasons are satisfactory, yes, I think that I should be teaching it to people.

Maybe you should just stick to ventriloquism lessons instead.

...I never realized you had a problem with it.

Well, it's not like I was a FAN before, exactly, but I also didn't know about that whole...other part until a little while ago, either.

...I dunno. Forget it.

...What other part?

The part we stopped talking about.

...Oh. That.

All of my students are too old to have that happen to them. Even I wouldn't go so far as to get someone into that situation without warning them.

Yeah.

...no, I didn't mean--I figured you'd TELL them if that was an issue, but...

Sorry. It just...worries me, I guess.

...

You're still thinking about it.

...maybe a little. It's--I can't HELP it!

Is it... Does it really upset you that much?

...kinda. I'm TRYING not to think about it, I just-- ...sorry. It's my problem, not yours.

No, it's--

...I don't...really know what to say here.

Why does it bother you so much?

You don't have to say anything. I'm not trying to--you shouldn't have to...

...w-well. Wouldn't it bother you if it was...one of us?

Well...yes, it would bother me. But I suppose it would be difficult to be too concerned if they weren't upset about it. It's just that... I don't know. Do you think we'll all know each other in ten years?
