[she can use a daily dose of flattery. she may brush most of them off but Nami is the kind of woman who enjoys a compliment here and there.]
as am i, but i'm also a bit worried about going gray earlier than necessary
[she knows what she's signed up for with Luffy. in the beginning she sure didn't, but now...]
a lot of the worst pirates have them too. [Arlong...] in Luffy's case, i'm happy he has what he wants, but starting things off with a lower bounty would have been nice...at least until we actually got to the grand line.
[ Hang out with him, and Sanji will be happy to constantly hype her up. Say goodbye to your insecurities, Nami. ]
Oh, I am naming my first gray hair after Luffy or Zoro, that's for sure. Maybe if we join forces, we can get them to behave a little less recklessly. [ Says the guy who's just as reckless and only fights with his legs. ]
Fame doesn't care about integrity, I'm afraid. He's going to be a different kind of pirate, don't worry. That would have been useful, but subtle and quiet is not his style.
I think we all attract trouble in one way or another. But it's a good thing we also watch each other's backs.
Hm? But I haven't caused any trouble. Yet. Does this mean that you think of me often?
[ Usopp is the one who invited Mihawk to join you all for drinks; are you so sure about that, Nami? ]
Zoro might not have a bounty poster, but I'm sure that some of the Marines must be looking for him already. He's pretty famous, so it won't go unnoticed that he's no longer hunting pirates but acting as one.
I'll try my best to remain inconspicuous, I promise. He is actually not bad at that.
[ Being a thief is never easy! And also illegal. ]
It's hard not to think of a guy who always seems a hair-trigger away from kicking Zoro in the face when he comments on your cooking.
[fair but it's not like Usopp was the guy who challenged him to a swordfight to the death.
but ok...ok. you're all going to drive her crazy.
and it's not illegal if you don't get caught!]
I'll hold you to that promise when we go out shopping later. You have some bad habits I'm starting to notice you'll need to reel back on.
[like his whole gentlemanly bit that does not let up whenever there's a pretty lady around. the last thing she needs is Sanji trying to rizz up anyone's girlfriend, because with their luck it'd be the girlfriend of the guy Zoro stabbed.]
[ welp. just to be a dick, zoro takes his leisurely time swinging his feet off his hammock and dragging them towards the door to open. he's alone in the quarters, the others off doing whatever it is they do when they aren't all fighting for their lives in some way, so there's no one there to witness two of the most stubborn people on the crew butt heads. maybe he makes it a point to exaggerate how much he has to look down to meet her eyes.
bandages are visible beneath the collar of his shirt, courtesy of the cook who definitely chastised a non-listening zoro for letting a stray hit open up his wounds. ]
After you.
[ rude af tbh. there'd be no jury in the world to convict her if nami decided to kick a shin or two right now. ]
[he keeps her waiting which is typical of him. injured, uninjured, no matter how good or bad a day Zoro's been having he always seems to have the energy to be stubborn prick. as soon as he opens the door, Nami crosses her arms, looking up at him without batting an eye at how he postures himself to show off his height.
so what if she's shorter than him? it gives her a good view of his chest, keen eyes spotting exactly what she was looking for.
yup. those look like fresh bandages.]
Giving me and my short legs a head start, are you? [the last thing she wants to do is actually hurt him (which, honestly, even if she tried she probably couldn't), but she's also in the mood to be a dick to him in return. so, playfully, she gives him a "good natured" pat on the chest with the back of her hand, right where she has an idea of where his reopened wounds are.] Such a gentleman.
[ he catches the way her eyes snag on the bandages poorly hidden beneath his shirt, and he hates how much he has to struggle not to defiantly puff out his chest in answer. not responding is the higher road, though it matters very little when even that light slap on his chest has him wincing and huffing out a short breath not too long after.
his jaw clenches, his hand itches to close that door back on her face. ]
That's me, [ he grits out. the smile he flashes her is saccharine-sweet. ] Mr. Manners.
[ now it's his turn to put a hand on her — settling heavy on her shoulder to nudge her back away from the doorway and begin turning her around. the sooner they get this over with, the sooner he can get back to healingresting napping. ]
[Nami doesn't even try hiding just how satisfied she is catching Zoro in that awful lie of his. he and Usopp should have a little talk...
and even as "Mr. Manners" begins to manhandle her around and out the door, his hand as heavy as stone on her back, that pleased smile never once leaves her face. she is powerless to keep him from moving her, even with his newly opened injury, but Nami's stubborn streak can be almost as strong as an iron body, so she drags her feet to make him put forth a bit more effort than if she simply played along.]
Mr. Manners sure has a way of escorting a lady. [she moves to stand by his side, looping her arm around his, patting his bicep mockingly.] I forgot to mention...I also needed you to carry this big treasure chest I've been meaning to bring into town. I need someone big and strong and fit to carry it so I can get everything inside appraised.
Wait, what!? What do you mean it's under my name??
[ That better mean 'I just used your name to buy some goodies' and not 'I'm totally intercepting your orange blossom perfume because i'm a silly sticky fingered girl' ]

You realize I'm including you in the lineup of people making me go gray early.
[the only one in their crew who wouldn't be to blame is Usopp.]
Hopefully he's the only one who gets a bounty. I'm glad that he's glad, but the last thing I need is either Zoro or you getting a bounty.
Or worse, me.

I can hold my own. It's not like I look to cut down everyone that gets in my way.
But thanks.

The last time I saw it, it was on the wall right by my bed.

It's a little late to say that, don't you think? You know I would have had no problem lending you something of mine, right?
