I think you said something about that once, yeah.

[she will hide under this hat.]

Are they a cool shapeshifting deer?

[selfimmolation]

He's a doctor? Is that cool?

[ genuinely not sure of her stance on reindeer doctors. ]

[sharkgirl]

Ew, doctors.

[but she's kidding, mostly. doctors are fine. she brings a hand up to wipe at her face again.]

[selfimmolation]

Speaking of, you look like you need one right now. Or at least a bath.

[ "shower?" look he's used to baths a lot more ]

[sharkgirl]

[she makes a fart sound with her mouth and then immediately regrets it because her head throbs angrily. weh.]

Nothing hurts. He didn't... [a pause.] He didn't actually hurt me. He was just fucking around.

[selfimmolation]

[ he tenses and his lip curls a little, so it's probably obvious what he thinks of that fucking around, but he holds his tongue for now ]

Yeah, well, you're still looking like you took a dive in gore. You should wash off at some point. [ he isn't going to make her, basically, but. yknow. ]

[sharkgirl]

[she's not exactly happy about it either. she doesn't like being a punching bag. but she also does know that nothing he did was intended to kill her.]

I will. [...] I can't stand up too fast, I'm dizzy.

[selfimmolation]

I've never fought a sound Devil Fruit user, but I've heard of 'em. That sounds about right with what he did.

[ a beat ]

You gonna kick me if I carry you?

[sharkgirl]

Kinda, yeah. He like, made everything shake really fast. I felt like my organs were soupy.

[ok,

anyway:]

... No.

[selfimmolation]

You're not sounding convincing for the not hurt thing.

[ organs should not be soup. but he nods at that and move her off him gently so he can crouch up ]

Piggyback or shoulder? [ he's only giving her an option because she had a rough weekend he is a Bully normally ]

[sharkgirl]

I have had worse than soup organs. Did you know I blow up every time I shapeshift?

[she wobbles when he moves. but.] Piggyback.

[selfimmolation]

Really? Sounds like your power secretly sucks.

[ he turns so he's in front of her and she can grab onto his neck, lifting her up under the knees gently after. she like. weighs nothing to him and it probably shows ]

Up you go.

[sharkgirl]

[there's like, a very small hitch in her expression. it's a joke, and she knows it is, but.]

Don't. [she says, quietly, as she holds on.]

[selfimmolation]

[ ... ah. he doesn't apologize but he hums in acknowledgement as he starts carrying her over to the penthouse. ]

Hey, do you have a favorite form to go to? When you can change into anything.

[sharkgirl]

[this works better for her because she doesn't really want an apology - she appreciates it, that he just moves on.]

Uhhhh. [she rests her head on his shoulder.] Shark? I really like uh, wolf and gorilla too, for a lot of reasons.

Shark's the most fun.

[selfimmolation]

Sharks and wolves are pretty cool. But gorilla, huh? I guess they're strong. I've never actually seen one of those. We had monkeys on my home island, and Luffy got his ass kicked by those a few times.

[ stop talking about your brother constantly disease continues, but he laughs to himself ]

His full name's Monkey D. Luffy, you know? Real ironic he couldn't beat up a few monkeys.

[ [narrator voice] luffy was like 6 years old at the time ]

[sharkgirl]

You've never seen a gorilla? Really?

[she wishes she could show people animals they've never seen!!! alas.]

He kinda sounds like a monkey by what you've described him with. Like a big rubber one. [she is a little loopy, don't mind her.]

[selfimmolation]

There's some, but none of the islands I've been to have had any. It's not like I was seeking them out, y'know.

[ i just thought ace not seeing a gorilla was funny i have no proof of this. she's a little loopy and he's aware, but it just makes him laugh softly. also they look insane going up to their secret penthouse like this but it's fine ]

Yeah, that's pretty much it. A big, stupid rubber monkey. [ Fond. taking the elevator upppp to the penthouuuuse ]

[sharkgirl]

[that's valid i cannot stress enough how i'd just believe whatever you said about one piece]

Honk. [she says, shifting her arms. does ace run warm, because she's probably also a little sleepy, getting carried like this. maybe they get weird looks but she literally does not care unless it gets them kicked out.]

[selfimmolation]

[ he absolutely runs warm. it's probably like. extremely cozy. she's gonna fall asleep while on him for the second day in a row it's fine ]

Honk? [ honk??? help. he can probably feel her looping to sleep so: ] Hey, don't fall asleep yet, alright? You gotta wash off first, or else I'm dunking you in a bath and hoping for the best.

[sharkgirl]

[she is absolutely yawning and getting eepy. when he protests this, she whiiiines. like a little kid going noooOOO]

I'm not asleep, I'm resting my eyes. [grumbles.] Don't dunk me or I'm going to horse.

[selfimmolation]

All that'd do is make you a wet horse. [ which she has already been once this week. he opens the door to the suite and walks in ] Still sounds worth it to me.

[sharkgirl]

That would be twice that you made me a wet horse. [she informs him where she is a bag of bones being piggybacked along.]

Horses can't go in the bathtub, the hooves would break the - whatever tubs are made of. Actually, would it even fit? I should try. For science reasons.

[selfimmolation]

Everyone needs to stop blaming me for being thrown into a lake.

[ he's not actually miffed about it, but yknow. he'll bring nimona over to the Very Fancy Bathroom because this is a suite. the bathtub is probably massive. he's going over and starting the bath for her while still carrying her he is Full big bro moment. don't at him. ]

You really think a horse would break this thing? It looks big enough to fit two horses. [ it is not that big. ] Might as well give it a shot.

[sharkgirl]

I don't blame you for being thrown in a lake, I blame Sigrun, who sucks and is stupid.

[ok,

she hums, peering over at the bath. she's still clinging to him a bit.] If I turn into a horse then I can't be a cat, though.
