[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 nods. Though...it would be easier to trust them if...she knew they trusted her. There's so much time between them. She will protect them, of course, with her life but--]

I will.

[She rests in his arms a moment before nudging him aside and standing]

I need to clean and air out the rooms. Help me, ne?

[she wants them to feel welcomed when they do arrive. But also as if they belong here already. She wants it to be safe and warm like the decks and rooms of the Sunny...or the Merry.]

[fierybluebird]

Always. [He kisses her cheek as he gets up to join her, holding her hands.]

If they do move back in here, do you want me to go back to the apartment until Luffy comes?

[toujoursfluer]

[she regards him a moment. She doesn't want to force him to stay but she enjoys his company. It seems natural somehow]

Whatever you wish.

[fierybluebird]

I'd rather stay, but I don't want to intrude.

[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]

[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.]

[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.

[fierybluebird]

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