[boy does Nami know he's just taking the bait because he's just as stubborn as she can be, with the added bonus of a swordsman's ego.
but she's lying about the treasure chest.
well, half-lying. she has a box of shiny trinkets she slipped in her pockets and bags before leaving Coco Village, along with a few other things picked up along the way.]
Since I rejoined the crew. It's not like I'm keeping it out for everyone to see and rifle through!
[letting go of his arm, she takes long strides to put some distance between them and to lead the way to her quarters.]
Why, is it too much for you to handle? [she glances at him over her shoulder, raising one eyebrow as if to challenge him to admit he's aching.]
[ one of these days nami's going to stop being able to read him so well and then we'll see who's laughing! that day is not today, though, his feet dragging a little slower now that he doesn't have to match her pace. when she looks back at him, he delivers what can only be considered as the unholy lovechild of a snarl and a grimace. ]
Won't know till I try it, right?
[ yeah, he's stalling. yeah, he's stupid. but there's still a couple of feet left until they reach her quarters, so coming up with a solution beforehand isn't entirely out of the realm of possibilities. that, or he tears his wounds open again. no big deal. ]
