[voice] action to Straw Hats

[yourotherleft]

Oi, Spades! Or anyone still at Port Chance. Is Luffy with you? He didn't come to breakfast this morning and he's not on the ship. We set out last night but maybe he decided to pop back and visit somebody while we were still close.

...come to think of it, I haven't seen Robin around either. I assumed she was already onboard when we raised sail.

So if he's over with you guys, will you send his ass back? He didn't tell us where he wanted to set course to, and I dunno where to go. If anybody's even seen him or Robin, tell me.

[the other Straw Hats on board may see Zoro pacing the ship restlessly, triple-checking every nook and cranny of the ship. Somebody as quiet and private as Robin can easily elude notice, but Luffy? His Supreme Noisiness not being onboard is pretty obvious and as the day goes on, Zoro will start to really worry.]

Damn right I will.

[oooooooh that feels good. His eye closes, and he sags in surrender, letting Sanji do whatever he wants to his head because mmm. That does take the stress away.]

[Sanji grins a little, softly, and keeps his hand moving gently through Zoro's hair.

It's a moment or two before he speaks again.]

You're gonna be fine.

[As captain.

Not that Zoro needs the reassurance.]

[yourotherleft]

[of course he doesn't, what do you take him for?

Except that he does. For all his declaring that if Luffy got weak he would take over as captain, he's never really been prepared to do so. He grunts softly in acknowledgement, content to have at least one person there who understands.]

[Pets him for awhile longer, but eventually he slows to a stop and lets his hand drop to the back of Zoro's neck.]

I gotta get lunch started.

[Even though it feels like he only just got the breakfast leftovers sorted. And without Luffy around there's no one demanding that lunch be on time anyway.

SIGHING FOREVER.

This is his routine, though. Not gonna break it now.

He slides down off the railing, then leans in close before he can change his mind and presses a quick kiss to Zoro's mouth.]

Okay?

[action]

[yourotherleft]

[completely distracted by the kiss, blinking for a moment. Being this uncautiously public about it is flustering, but he won't deny he appreciates it]

Huh? No, yeah, that's fine. Go do what you gotta do.

[he'll keep watching the journal just in case]

[action]

[serving_love]

[Snickers at that look on his face. It was a little daring of him, but he's pretty sure there's still no one else around.

Also, he just wanted to. Fuck it.

He turns to head to the galley.]

Alright. Let me know if anyone else says anything.
