[selfimmolation]

[ seventeen pcs in a row

anyway picks park so they can be outside in the fresh air, he's just coming over and immediately dropping his hat on her head. hi. ]

I'm starting to think you're just as good at worrying me as Luffy.

[sharkgirl]

[pc every day

she is probably still covered in blood actually, but it's dry so she doesn't panic about getting blood all over his hat. she pulls her knees up to her chest and hugs them, just sitting in the grass.

a pause, and then she just warbles:]

Is that a challenge? [she's trying to joke. trying!]

[selfimmolation]

It's one you'd never win. [ flops down to sit next to her ] He wouldn't know self-preservation if it introduced itself to him. Probably call it a dumb name or try to eat it. [ this metaphor is lost a little but he is tired. it's been a damn weekend. ]

[sharkgirl]

[that kind of makes her laugh, at least.]

I gotta meet this guy. [a little huff.

she very gently leans against him if he lets her. and hides her face from the sun? she has a killer headache.]

[selfimmolation]

[ he lets her yea! pushes the rim of the hat down so it shades her face better when he notices her hiding too. get hatted. ]

He'd like you. [ he says it like there isn't even a doubt in his mind. ] He's got a shapeshifting deer on his crew, did I tell you?

[sharkgirl]

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.
