[Goes with the tugging, moving toward Zoro, but then he takes it even further than that and steps right in close, both arms lifting to wrap loosely behind Zoro's back. He rests his chin on Zoro's shoulder.]

Can't change it now. Forget it.

[He doesn't want to keep being irritated about the whole thing, not when he hasn't properly touched Zoro in five days and he's allowed to now. Just...bury all that other shit. It really is kind of useless to keep letting it bother him.]

Just be glad I ain't actually a girl, I guess.

[Mumbled into the side of Zoro's neck.]

[yourotherleft]

[he loops one arm around Sanji's shoulder, the other behind his back, and in seconds flat he's squeezing the cook tightly against him, burying his face in his shoulder.]

If you were, then that's who I would've been with all along.

[or not. He's pretty sure this masculine figure wrapped in his arms is what he's always been attracted to. But the what-ifs aren't worth contemplating.]

[serving_love]

[Gives a light snort.]

Yeah, okay.

[The past few days say otherwise, but -- not worth contemplating, indeed.

He tightens his arms around Zoro, feeling that same relief from earlier flow through him again. Fuck, he missed this. It's just a hug, but he needed it.]

[yourotherleft]

[Good, because he's not letting go. Clinging, even, as much as he knows he's keeping the cook from his duty. Breakfast can wait a minute while he holds on for dear life. Every time this crazy world conspires to drive them apart - make them forget one another, make them fear one another - they refuse to let it. Zoro has decided not to ever break his promise, he will be exactly what the cook needs him to be, somehow.

So he failed this time. Next time, he'll do better.]

[three_swords_stronger]

[gets the sake. He's tempted to drink it, too, though Zoro'd be kinda mad at him if he did so he'll stop for now.

And then Luffy gets an idea.

A really fantastic idea.

An idea so great he can't believe he hadn't thought of it before]

I'm hungry, too.

[meanders over to the fridge and o p e n s it.]

Ahhh it all looks so delicious!

[vivelarevolution]

I'm Sabo!

Look I even got fancy hair! [takes off the hat to mess his hair] It's even cleaner than Ace's! [weird!]

[lettucebefree]

Ehh? I did?!

[peeks at boobs. Feels around in shorts]

...

[points at self]

Does my face look any different?

4/5

[lettucebefree]

[turns at the clatter to see Zoro is...a lot different]

You popped a bubble! [have a gigantic hug] You really can have fun! shishishi

[Your captain is proud of you! Try not to suffocate in there, though]

[three_swords_stronger]

Eh? No. I just want wings and stuff. But being Zoro is pretty cool. The bubble didn't give me swords, though.

[lame]

[starswirl_the_awesome]

[blank look] Oh so it's a mystery magic.

Hmmm.... [bobs his head up and down as if trying to wave a magic wand] Give me meat!

[yourotherleft]

[he freezes in place for a moment, and then tiny little arms are flailing wildly to try and throw him off]

NO NO NO NO GET OFF ME NO LEAVE ME ALONE!

[lettucebefree]

[she steps back, sitting with her chin wresting on her knees, her hands gripping her legs as she peers at him]

What's wrong, Zoro? Did you get hurt somewhere?

[yourotherleft]

No. M'fine. [except for the while shrimpy thing. And the drowning in pants thing.

He hops up and aggressively fists the extra waistband into one hand so he can hold them up.]

I didn't do it on purpose, it was an accident, okay? I don't wanna be changed.

[judgementscythe]

[what the hell? Did he just pop up on the Nav?]

Who the hell is Ace?

[judgementscythe]

[smirking]How can I learn anything if I can't experience it first hand?

[seakingbait]

Don't worry. We can be here all night if we need to.

I'll get some ice for your ass too...

[letteropener]

There are some things it can never take, and others I will never see again. [Celestia shrugs, an unusual expression from her but one she is happy to make use of. So much easier to do in this shape!]

[letteropener]

To... properly use magic, you must channel your mental energy through your horn. Unicorns develop that skill as they grow and mature, normally, which is why I am not sure it will come immediately to you.

[There is nothing good about this situation.]

[yourotherleft]

Then I guess, have fun with it. Do we need to put another hammock or something in the girls' cabin, so you have somewhere to sleep?

[he's actually never been in there, has no idea how many beds are available for their ladies]

[yourotherleft]

True. But you should know I don't hold back. I can be a monster.

[his home crew, he can subject to his hits because they know what to expect. The newer folks, he's more careful around. No sense accidentally killing someone.]

[judgementscythe]

[She smiles knowing full well they are on a completely different level than she is. It's part of what excites her about the prospect. Training with people like these? None of her rivals back home would stand a chance]

I'd be offended if you did.

[judgementscythe]

[sigh] I can't do that to you, I'm sure I'll figure this out.

Thank you for everything

[letteropener]

Oh. Do you know, I hadn't thought of that.

[But a mast spar is just as comfortable to humans as it is to a pony, right?]

[yourotherleft]

[leave it to him to think of sleeping]

If you need a hand with that, just say the word. Although...cook might be more interested in helping out.

[letteropener]

...The way you say that, and knowing what I know of Sanji... I am not certain I should be requesting his help.
