[shakes his head again] I don't remember any of the dreams I have, when I wake up. Good or bad.

[though yes, being nearly fearless and putting his one fear far enough behind him that it's hard for anything to touch...that helps]

Hm. But you know we will be. Nothing has been able to keep us apart, not even death would stop me. Obviously, that nightmare island doesn't want you to believe in that.

[meatthefuture]

[that's kind of sad in a way. Dreams can be another kind of adventure when they're good ones and he's done so much in his dreams that he can't even do in real life.

He smiles at Zoro's words but...]

Here it's okay to take death a little lightly, I think. [because it wasn't really death. Not if you could come back. Ace would never come back at home though. And Zoro wouldn't either. But he was too strong to die]

I know you'll be there but when I'm there I know you won't. How do you make your mind believe what it doesn't wanna?

[yourotherleft]

Dunno. [seriously. Because this is a problem he wants to solve, for Luffy's sake. Giant spiders are nothing compared to that.] I don't even know how to train for something like that. You want to say 'just don't think about it' but that doesn't seem to be enough.

[meatthefuture]

[he folds his arms. He can't really think about this kind of thing because when he tries to think, his brain becomes overheated. Except that just going in ended badly because he kept forgetting the others were there]

I guess we just gotta go there and train a lot.

[which is not something he is looking forward to]

[yourotherleft]

Maybe. After everyone gets some rest and feels like they can handle it.

[what other choice do they have? Davy Jones probably hangs out in someplace even worse, they have to steel themselves for whatever he could possibly throw at them.

Shame he didn't notice anything to do with the shards, he has no idea that unlocking one might be useful.]

Finding all the shards is taking too long, I'm with you. We should go after Jones and make him send us back.

[meatthefuture]

[he nods, and then looks up at him. Sounding fond]

Are you homesick, Zoro?

[yourotherleft]

[meets his gaze for a moment and then looks away]

Yeah.

[it's hard, because he likes what he has with the cook and doesn't want to lose that, but everything else is back home. His dream. Luffy's dream. Sunny.]

[meatthefuture]

Zoro...

[he knew it but to hear it makes him frown a little. Yeah, they have to get home. But he'll work hard. They all will. He can't figure out any other way to make Zoro feel better than by clambering up onto his back and resting his chin on Zoro's minty hair, so that's what he does, puffing out a sigh and watching the rain]

Wanna do something?

[yourotherleft]

[he's all right, really. Huffs and tips his head slightly as if to look up at the Monkey on his back]

Like what? Could go laugh at the cook some more. The rain turned his hair green.

[meatthefuture]

[he knows, Zoro. But this is still nice anyway]

Haha yeah lets do it. Hey, we can both pretend to be him! That'll really get him mad.

[yourotherleft]

[snerks. Yes, that sounds like fun.]

All right, then. Let's see how fast you can shimmy down the mast.

[meatthefuture]

Okay!

[he pushes off from Zoro's shoulders, kicks open the hatch and then just drops straight down. But then it's rain and pinching fingers so he ow ow ows his way across the deck as he tears toward the galley]
