... I'm surprised you're still up.

[ especially after he looked like he was about to die earlier?! Hikage is on his way back to his room with a tray and a few teacups (non-poisoned, thank you, they have green tea in them) when he stumbles across Souji. ]

Are you going to be all right?

[ please never compare him to a mom, he'll be mortified. ]

There's not much else to do, other than talk to people. [ and he doesn't trust any of them, so. ] I'm not interested in practicing with weapons or trying to make clothes.

[When will Hikage embrace his inner mom friend!!!!

Souji just laughs at that though, because it's such a vaguely-stuffy-grandpa thing to say. Also who doesn't like sparring?? What a weirdo, gosh.]

You're in good company, at least. ...As long as you don't walk away with any of the kitchen equipment, anyway.

[Or Sanji would probably come for his life like he does with literally everyone.]

Don't be ridiculous. I always clean it and put it back exactly where I found it.

[ this is the most convincing piece of evidence anyone has brought forward to defend themselves yet. ]

If I left even a teaspoon out, someone would probably accuse me of killing someone with it.

[THAT IS THE WORST BUT ALSO TRUE??? BUT STILL THE WORST. Souji ends up losing his shit in any case, though the laugh fit tapers off into a tiny coughing fit (that he politely covers with the crook of his elbow, no TB here). Miraculously, he doesn't spill his tea, either.]

Ah, you're right about that! It's a good thing - Sanji seems to have the entire kitchen's stock memorized, so anything that's out of place would surely be noticed right away.

[ this is SERIOUS souji!! his frown only deepens, and he shakes his head when Souji starts to cough. ]

... He should find something better to do with his time. Although it did come in handy this week.

[LOOK, THIS IS HOW HE HANDLES SERIOUS THINGS.]

Exactly! And maybe it'll discourage people from trying to mess with things that we all use, if they know one of us is keeping a careful eye out.
