[She'll climb up next to him, slipping for one terrifying split-second before regaining her grip and pulling herself up. She settles in beside him, looking at him as she listens to what he has to say. She waits until he's finished before she replies, a small and somewhat sad smile on her face.]
For a long time, I thought it was just one person, too. I thought it happened in an instant, that you would know, and that everything would be perfect, that nothing could go wrong because they were your one. But... Now I don't really think that's how it works. I think love comes in... in different forms, but it's all the same, it all comes from the same place.
And I don't think there should ever be a reason to hide it. But I know that sometimes there is, whether it's for the other person's protection, or... I don't know... [She trails off there, giving a small shrug. She understands that about as much as Luffy does, probably. It seems silly to her to ever have to hide one's feelings.
What he says last makes her truly smile, because it's so considerate. She feels bad that he's in a low mood though, and she wants to hug him but she's not sure if that would be okay or not. How do you tell when someone's open to receiving hugs? She settles instead for laying her hand on his shoulder in an attempt to comfort.]
Things might seem difficult now, and complicated, but I think they'll turn out alright. Wanting your friends to be happy is what matters the most, and I think the most you can really do is just to let them know that, that you're there for them and are rooting for them.
