[hm. well, that certainly sounded like him - but that still didn't explain how he'd managed to let his guard down. he could chide himself later, however.]
i dont
[there was no use in apologizing; words did nothing to change it now.]
figure youve already taken care of it. what hit you?

[unfortuntely, he made it about three minutes before he got impatient and began looking for himself. the island couldn't have been that big - how lost could he get?]

sooooo booooooooring
[ he doesn't make mention of the fight he'd gotten into in the forest, the gang of ruthless pirates he'd come face to face with in the brush. and sure, he'd won, hurray! score one for the straw hats! but he hadn't walked away entirely unscathed this time. ]
u gonna come and see me? 😊

[it takes him a moment to respond, even if there was no question as to the answer.]
yeah
[a sense of failure sat heavy in the pit of his stomach. his mind refused to cooperate, his memory of the previous evening frustratingly blank - how long had he been out? too long, apparently, but...
but it would need to wait for the moment - his captain needed him, and that took precedence.]

next house over has one too
[well, it's worth a shot. anyone who lives there might take issue with the incredibly broad swordsman nonchalantly walking inside, but fortunately:]
its locked

[on his list of current concerns, zoro couldn't say that the flowers had made the cut. he glanced down at his feet, and the path behind him.]
i was looking for the damned blue door!!
didnt see any flowers
here anyway
[if there were casualties prior to this, however...]

Hmm. You find flowers, and stay by them, and I'm going to go through the next garden gate I pass and see if you're there! There's no way you could have gotten that far away.
[ Is she going to start checking people's yards for signs of damage? Yes. Is it because now she's more concerned about the plants he might have trampled, and less about tracking him down? Also yes. ]

oi
marimo
[ the nicer name option within their collection of terms of endearments, if "endearment" were to even really exist between them since the next option on the list probably would have been "shithead". ]
are you still asleep on the ship?
i need you to come into town and take these barrels back for me
[ and then too quickly afterwards, ]
have chopper come with you so you actually get here

do i look like a damn pack mule to you
[read: yes, he had been sleeping. he could have maybe let it slide, if not for that last bit.]
EHH?? the hell is THAT supposed to mean??
like i couldnt hear your annoying ass a mile away, shit cook

[ it wouldn't chafe as much if it wasn't true, not that he would ever admit it. ]
not my fault you give shit directions
[ yes, that is the problem. ]

[ yes, that is the problem. ]
wouldnt need one if you were better at it
[ logic. ]
[ logic. ]
whod take direction from spiral brow idiot like you???
[ he was making an attempt. he was also fairly sure he'd seen that same door at least three times now, but like hell was he admitting that the cook was right.]
dont bother coming back if you do
[ as if zoro could even entertain the thought of abandoning a crew member, even one as infuriating as him. ]
stay where you are dammit

[ (not that there isn't a small part of sanji that deems himself replaceable as the ship's cook, even with all his boasting confidence, but that's another issue —)
he hasn't moved an inch, even if he'd be tempted to, as he sits atop a crate amongst many others, along with plenty of barrels and sacks of food for their upcoming venture back through the sea. theoretically, he could take it all to the ship himself but there's plenty more stops he'd like to make through the market to sample more flavors and cuisines of the island's culture for the research purposes. making use of the idiot's strength to take everything back for him just seems more convenient.
cigarette in hand, he enjoys a smoke (and a delightful view of passing lady locals) while he waits. ]
since you think you're so good at finding me without a problem, prove it

[ luffy would never have accepted food from anyone else. he didn't think that was something that needed to be said, and he left it alone. the choice had nothing to do with the nagging discomfort he felt at the thought of the cook's actually not being there - a feeling quickly shoved down, silenced before he could think too hard about it. ]
fine
[ easier said than done. by his fourth pass, he'd started earning a few bewildered looks from passersby. how hard could it be to find one asshole in a crowd? it probably would have helped if he didn't end up covering the same ground again and again.
in the end, he'd almost ended up walking right on past him, his mounting frustration tying up his attention. he was well aware it had taken longer than it should have, every damned road looking identical to the last. it had only been by the familiar scent of tobacco that he'd stopped at all, jaw clenched and hackles raised before either of them had gotten a word out.]
Cook.
[ he was damned near challenging him to say something, some smart ass comment about the time it had taken him. ]

[ there are many things with zoro that sanji would put his faith in, despite any refusal to vocalize it out loud. there's a trust between them best kept silent, a reliance in the other to take care of the crew in one's absence, along with the confidence of dependency with one another's support in a fight that had once been so adamantly refused prior to that learned lesson during their challenge with the foxy pirates. for as much hatred that sanji would fuel within every interaction with the swordsman, they had a bond as nakama.
trusting zoro to find his way anywhere, however, is not one of those things.
still, he'd entertain him with the challenge, allowing a bit of time of zoro's stubbornness before just getting up to look for him himself, something that would probably save hours worth of pointless wandering. imagine his surprise when eventually (albeit still much longer than any normal person should take) a green-headed figure actually manages to wander up to where he is.
a curly brow raises with stunned intrigue, fingers pinching the cigarette from his lips to blow out a string of smoke as he hops down from the crate on his feet. ]
Eh? What's this? And no one led you by the hand to get here?
