[Waking up is like emerging from an awful nightmare this morning. Sanji comes out of his sleep groaning and feeling like his head is swimming, trying to sort through the weird and horrible images that his brain insists on showing him.

Only they're less like images and more like fragments of memory, and just when he'd groggily began to think that maybe he did have a nightmare, reality rushes in and assaults him like someone tossing a bucket of shitty ice water his way.

He shoots up in his hammock, eyes wide, heart pounding wildly as dread twists his gut, and his journal flies off his chest and lands innocently on the floor of the men's cabin -- conveniently open, of course.]

WHAT THE FUCK?!

[........Yeeeeah, he'll just be promptly diving back under his covers and curling into a ball for awhile. Breakfast might be a little late, Straw Hats, because he pretty much has no plans to leave his hammock ever again.]

Nah, I'm always up early! There's a lot of people to cook for! This is basically my usual time.

[Beams at her before moving on past to the galley.]

But by all means, it's fine if you'd prefer to sleep some more. If not...

[Grand gesture toward the galley door accompanied by a slight bow.]

Well, if you're sure of that... I will take your offer.

[She curtsies in response to his bow before starting to head towards the galley door.]

I didn't plan to return to sleep, anyway, I'm an early bird myself as well. Though normally I wake up on my own.

[Without anyone having to go to call for her or traumatized cooks screaming to their bedsheets.]

[Sweeps in after her and beelines for teakettle. At which point, as he's moving to fill it up, he remembers he's still got the blanket on and he's still wearing what he slept in, both things that almost never happen since he's usually dressed in his usual suit by the time breakfast is served.

...Ah well.

He lets the blanket drop from his shoulders and kicks it into the corner so that he can work more easily.]

Heh... And normally I don't go exploding with random shit at all hours of the night. Sorry, Elsa-san!

Tea or coffee, my dear?

[A smile graces her lips as she shakes her head.]

It's okay, Sanji. I care more about you being fine than about having a pleasant wake up. Besides, in a sea as dangerous as this one may be, it's probably better to get used to being awakened by explosions.

Tea, please.

[Grins as he starts heating the water.]

Might be a good point. Still, I feel bad for disturbing you.

[He turns to face her, leaning back against the counter.]

How've you been? Not regretting your decision to come with us yet, I hope?

[The question catches her by surprise at the moment. And for a second, for a brief second, she wonders where it came from, because for a second, while part of her mind is still slightly clouded by sleep... She had honestly forgot that she wasn't sure of this decision.

Then again, after a certain talk with Luffy... Her eyes look down as she replies.]

I've been fine, and not regretting it at all. It may sound stupid, but I think that I'm past the point of regretting coming with you. If worst comes to be, I will regret the actions that caused such an event, but not following Luffy.

[She smiles as she looks at Sanji, slightly embarrassed by her own words.]

I'm not sure what you will think of me, but as long as Luffy wants me there I will follow him to the ends of the world no matter what until he doesn't want me there or I'm unable to do so. I understand the risks and dangers, as well as his flaws, but I find that I can hardly care about them in the great picture.

[He looks at her for a moment, then a wide grins blooms on his face.]

You being happy here makes me happy, Elsa-san. That's all I wanted to make sure of, that you were enjoying life as a Straw Hat. But hearing you say all that really does mean a lot. We're really happy you've joined us. Hell, I know Luffy especially is.

[Although still clearly embarrassed, her smile grows upon seeing his. Nodding slowly at his words.]

I know. He said that I was nakama, even if he's not sure about others that he has met here, he is sure of that. And I want to be so, though I'm not sure what I have to do to properly achieve that.
