notawaiter: (Oh this is going to be good)

[personal profile] notawaiter 2023-09-15 07:25 pm (UTC)(link)
I could,  but maybe it would be interesting to let them realize that fact by themselves.

Their stomach might make it obvious soon enough.

So what you're saying is don't try to stop them when they make you one to try?
notawaiter: (Is that so?)

[personal profile] notawaiter 2023-09-15 08:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Well...I can be so clumsy sometimes; it would be a pity if I dropped that monstrosity of a drink by accident, but it could happen.

A compromise - I steal the shrimp, you make me dumplings.
notawaiter: (Honest smile)

[personal profile] notawaiter 2023-09-15 09:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Fair. What kind of dumplings are your favorite?

I'd do anything you want, Nami.

[personal profile] cartographie 2023-09-15 10:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Better be safe and make a few different kinds so I can let you know, right?
notawaiter: (Cooking)

[personal profile] notawaiter 2023-09-15 10:22 pm (UTC)(link)
That I can do. I'll eventually figure out what makes you swoon.
cartographie: (Default)

[personal profile] cartographie 2023-09-15 10:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Mm, not sure that's possible, but, if it means I get dumplings, I'm comfortable letting you try.
notawaiter: (Pleased smile)

[personal profile] notawaiter 2023-09-15 11:04 pm (UTC)(link)
It will be a fun challenge, even if that's all it ends up being. [ Meaning, he will respect her if Nami tells him to stop or take things down a notch. ] And a tasty one, I promise.

I could also make some tangerine marmalade for you, now we have the means. Besides, it would be a good way to avoid scurvy.

[personal profile] cartographie 2023-09-15 11:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Would you show me how to make tangerine marmalade?
notawaiter: (Honest smile)

[personal profile] notawaiter 2023-09-15 11:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, of course. It would be my pleasure.

It's not very difficult, but it takes a little time. And we can make enough to last us months.

It'll be nice, for when I'm homesick.
notawaiter: (If you have a dream then chase it)

[personal profile] notawaiter 2023-09-15 11:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Anything to make you feel more at home. It's important to remember the good times, sometimes they are few and far between.
cartographie: (Default)

[personal profile] cartographie 2023-09-16 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
Sometimes, but, lately, they've been a lot better. What makes you feel more at home?
notawaiter: (Honest | Vulnerable)

[personal profile] notawaiter 2023-09-16 02:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, that's true. It's nice to hear you say that.

Me? Ah...the obvious. Cooking.

[ What he had before meeting Zeff was not a home, nor a family. ]

[personal profile] cartographie 2023-09-16 02:07 pm (UTC)(link)
It's still hard to believe.

Do you miss Baratie yet?
notawaiter: (Patience is a virtue)

[personal profile] notawaiter 2023-09-16 02:17 pm (UTC)(link)
And yet, here we are. Tomorrow will be a new day, and we will still be free.

Do I miss being bossed around by an old geezer who thinks that I should add half a pound of terrible spices to everything I cook?

...

A little. Maybe.

[personal profile] cartographie 2023-09-16 02:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[ 'maybe'. she heard you saying goodbye Sanji. ]

I have a feeling he's going to miss you too.

I'm glad you decided to come. Usopp should never be allowed to cook


[ and that is the only reason of course. ]
notawaiter: (Is that so?)

[personal profile] notawaiter 2023-09-16 02:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Shhh shh you heard nothing. Nevermind he was screaming at the top of his lungs and crying. ]

Hmm. He should miss me. It will be a miracle if he can run the restaurant half as well now that I am not there to check that he's not undercooking the steaks. Or running himself into the ground, the old man.

[ Aw, Nami, you do care.]

Is that so? I'm glad to be here as well. You do need good food to keep your strength.

Zoro doesn't seem too thrilled to have me around, though.

[personal profile] cartographie 2023-09-16 02:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[ it was very endearing, not that she'd admit it. ]

Just try not to think too hard about all the oregano getting used.

Zoro is Zoro. It would be weird if he was chipper or thrilled about anything. He's like a toddler, you just have to let him take his naps or he'll get fussy.
notawaiter: (I'm going to find the All Blue)

[personal profile] notawaiter 2023-09-16 02:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[ It was also really embarrassing, but Sanji doesn't truly regret it. Zeff deserved to know. ]

You do know how to hurt me, Nami. Please, don't remind me of that. [ Now he's just being dramatic. ]

I'm starting to realize that the blank expression might just be fixed to his face. Naps and alcohol, got it.
cartographie: (pic#16721121)

[personal profile] cartographie 2023-09-16 02:53 pm (UTC)(link)
See? You're learning fast. You're going to fit in just fine.
notawaiter: (Hello there beautiful)

[personal profile] notawaiter 2023-09-16 02:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you. I'll try my best.

And maybe attempt to give Usopp some cooking classes, so he doesn't accidentally poison anyone.
cartographie: (Default)

[personal profile] cartographie 2023-09-16 03:03 pm (UTC)(link)
You don't have to try, you've already come through for the crew, and for me.

[ all this niceness! ]

The most important thing is to make sure he never forgets his Usopp Tobasco Star is a weapon, not a seasoning option.
notawaiter: (What are you going to do about it?)

[personal profile] notawaiter 2023-09-16 03:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[ The niceness is very touching, and it actually takes Sanji by surprise. He always has a hard time accepting that he doesn't need to constantly prove he's worth something so people will keep him around. ]

Thanks, Nami. I mean it. [ It's a little awkward to say, and he's glad they're not face-to-face. ] You needed help, so of course I had to do something. We all wanted you back.

Oh, gods. I'm going to set some ground rules and ban that from my kitchen.

[ It's his kitchen now. ]
