[Robin looks quite serene today, though those who have known her will notice a certain glint in her eye that spells trouble. It is high time she gets one certain thing straight in her life]

Hello, Luceti, and new feathers. Welcome to our little town where you will both make wonderful friendships and suffer traumatically for making them. However, that's life, ne? It will all work out in the end. [after we break them in half like twigs]

Speaking of trauma, however, I was wondering if anyone had any advice on how to kidnap a certain longnosed sniper, who is fond of elaborate stories but not so much of mushrooms. I was thinking a baited trap of some sort and briefly considered an arrow to the knee but that may be going a bit far. I do want to keep him around, after all.

[in other words, Usopp... 1, 2... Robin's coming for you. There is nowhere to run.]

[she smiles as he puts down the bandanna. It's so uncessarily considerate and completely adorable. Though it also says he doesn't consider this his home--though why would he? It isn't. Not yet. But perhaps one day.

Her smile only brightens at the offer]

Would you? I'd like that.

[she would get to spend more time with him and a couch set with pranks and bear traps is always amusing.]

Have some coffee if you wish.

[she sits in the chair opposite him, holding the box on her lap, her thumb moving restlessly over the lid.]

I wasn't sure how to fix it but feel free to help yourself.

[Sanji--usually thought of those things. Her heart breaks a little but she squares her shoulders.]

Would you like a snack of some sort?

[toujoursfluer]

[she understands, Nami-chan. All too well]

Perhaps we'll run into one another some day.

[that Marco. Inward sigh. Though she raises her eyebrows at the question]

Trouble me how?

[toujoursfluer]

And how do you expect to explain what you know if you don't learn to write well?

[toujoursfluer]

[she strokes the side of his face with the back of her fingers, letting the ring slide over his skin]

You are never that, love.

[and her face flushes a bit at the sentiment]

[spohkh]

I am uncertain as to what qualifies as 'gossip' or simple conversation between friends. If this is information that you would have rather he not reveal to me, then I will cease all future conversation about you.

[There, logical.]

[Action]

[toujoursfluer]

Marco knows what to reveal and what not to. [or he'd better]

But forgetting my nakama a moment, have you met many other new feathers?

[fierybluebird]

[Gah, well now he's blushing too, though he leans into her hand and nods.]

Then I'll stay.

[Beside, it was fun to troll her crew by convincing them that his being around was a perfectly normal thing.]

Re: [Action]

[spohkh]

Negative. If you asked my Captain, he would inform you that I have been 'hiding'.

I will have you know that I have not been hiding... merely occupied.
[Which, for a Vulcan was the same as hiding. There was no way that he was going to tell anyone that he was getting depressed. Nope. Not happening.]

[FFFF-]

H-how'd you know that?!

Re: action

[nosenobounds]

[ There is a clear and noticeable brightening for her brightening. He made somebody happier and they just agreed to let him booby-trap their couch. That's so cool. So he laughs and raises a hand to flap in a way reminiscent of many a polite middle-aged lady. ]

Oh, don't worry about it! I probably wouldn't have thought about how someone takes their coffee at all, either, even just about not knowing! It was really nice of you to go out of your way to make it!

[weathervain]

Perhaps.

[But she does smile before she closes the journal.]

[toujoursfluer]

And what have you been occupied with?

[she's more inclined to believe your captain, even though she doesn't know him.]

[toujoursfluer]

[she presses a kiss to his lips in thanks. And moves to lightly whap him in the face with a pillow]

Strip the beds, will you, Bird-chan? I might as well do laundry while I'm at it.

[spohkh]

Perhaps it is a surprise.

[Hmm... Spock's losing his touch here.
Though he should introduce you two, he's certain you'd get along like a house on fire, literally.]

[toujoursfluer]

I see.

[so something is up]

Tell me about your captain. [so that she may find him and stalk him]

video

[toujoursfluer]

It's simply the way things are, Cross-chan.

[she's not sure what to do with you sometimes...]

[spohkh]

You wish to know about about Captain Kirk? Very well...

He has been a Captain for approximately two years, having gained his status through extreme circumstances. He graduated with honours at the Academy, specializing in tactical and command. Though questionable, his methods gain favourable results.

[Spock blinks at Robin... That's what you wanted to know right?]

action

[toujoursfluer]

It's my pleasure.

[she smiles. She can't help it! He's a middle-aged lady at heart. Or at least some part of him is, and it's absolutely adorable.]

Well then... [might as well get the hardest part out of the way] I am an archaeologist, which means I not only interpret the past and try to preserve it but...also try to recreate what has been...missing in some small way.

[she sets the box on the coffee table and slides it across to him]

And since... [you were here once upon a time. Though not that she can remember] ...we are nakama. I made these.

[so people would know about Usopp if they cared to stop by.

Inside are a small collection of pachinko balls and...the ones with the tobasco inside, fire star? And one or two that explode. And one with glitter inside just because no one would know and it had amused her at the time]

I don't know if they will be of any use to you but--

[and she shrugs delicately, sips her coffee and sits back]

[toujoursfluer]

Do you honestly believe that's what I meant or are you trying to dodge the question in hopes you don't have to reveal a quite obvious sentiment?

[spohkh]

Obvious?

[Spock's mouth twitches into a small smirk.]

I had believed I was being subtle.
What exactly do you wish to know Miss Robin?

[toujoursfluer]

Were you?

[a slight jab. To be honest, she had been guessing. An educated guess, but a guess regardless]

What does he mean to you?

[fierybluebird]

My pleasure. [A small laugh and he instantly does just that.]

[spohkh]

[Spock has the decency to blush a light shade of green.]

That would require explaining a Vulcan concept...

[Hesitancy? Perhaps. But it was also a question. Was she sure that she wanted to get into this?]

[toujoursfluer]

[is her expectant silence answer enough? Besides which his blush is positively entrancing]
