1. it was the night of "what the fuck have you done with my daughter and where is she" texts from mom
2. i realize that my conversation topics seem to only be about food and my cross-dressing fiance. thank you for being my friend
3. hello you've reached the get a clue corp, our business hours are from take a hint to figure it out, eastern standard time. if you prefer to leave a message, don't, call back when you're not crazy, annoying, and fetid.
4. so i managed to get the bitch who's been copying off me all semester in history to copy the names of pokemon towns off my test
5. if you're the one who put those dollar bills in my bra last night, thank you because i just used that money to get myself a coffee
[ they had one last week. but they're a big pile of squishy romantic feelings so that's not nearly recently enough ♥ speaking of enjoying every moment. even their oddball quirks and their many issues seem to complement each other and pudding can't get enough ♥ ]
[ she's starting to think she'll never get over how good it feels when he compliments her ♥ so much of her life she only got compliments on the sweet face she'd cultivated as an act (even if that became a real part of her, too, without her noticing until sanji-san came along). sanji-san is so honest with his feelings for her... with his feelings for all ladies, she's come to realize, none of it is an act. but his feelings for her are special, and she knows that's not an act either. ♥ ]
sweetheart!!!! ♥♥♥♥♥ i love you so much♥♥♥♥♥ let's have an all-day date!!! shopping and meals out and walking through the park and maybe a picnic?
[ and when they get home she's going to make the night even better~♥ ]
[Sanji loves Pudding. He loves her, with all his heart and he's so excited that this arranged marriage turned out to be something good and right and he doesn't know how he got so lucky. She's a gem, priceless and perfect and while all women are lovely and good and worthy of praise? Pudding stands above all woman in his heart. She's his wife to be, perfect for him, and he worships the ground she walks on. And he'll do almost anything to make her happy.]
And I love you!!! ♥♥♥♥♥ I'm so happy when you're happy, so let's do those things! We'll get what we need for our picnic while we're shopping, I'll get one of those romantic baskets and a blanket! It'll be like in the novels! ♥♥♥♥♥ There's nothing better than an entire day spent with my beloved!
[It's going to be one hell of a night for Sanji! ♥]
i love dating another chef, getting fresh things to make a picnic with the day of is perfect!! ♥♥ and i'm so glad i get to be your romance novel princess ♥♥
[ talking about romance novels could be interpreted as side-eye worthy from anyone else, but from sanji-san it's so, so sweet ♥ ]
do you want to pick up some extra greens and feed the animals at the pond, too?
[ she knows from reiju that he did when he was younger. and unlike his terrible birth family, she wants to nurture that adorable kindness ♥ it's that kindness that helped her escape from her own family chains ]
[He loves her so so so much, and he's so excited about this. He's got a mental list of markets that have the best things locally, but she's got to have some amazing ideas of her own, and that makes things fantastic. Or more, even more fantastic than they'd be normally. Even just texting with her makes him feel crazy, his heart is pounding in his chest.]
There's a little shop I want to go to for food, it doesn't even have a sign yet, but the only sell things made from their family farm and it always smells amazing there! ♥ The day is only perfect because of you, though! Darling you're what will make this amazing! My heart, my princess, my perfect love!!!! ♥♥♥♥♥♥
[For all of his perversions and issues, Sanji is speaking of things that are absolutely tame and silly. She's his fantasy, his teenage dream, his wife to be and perfection. She's almost unreal to him, thus the comparison to the stories that he once read in bed at night before he'd left Baratie. She's too good to be true, and even her frightening perchance for violence is appealing.
And then she says something that shocks him, not in a bad way but it makes him reel for a moment. How did she know? How considerate of her, how sweet, he couldn't love her more if he tried and he actually has to stop for a moment before returning the text.]
I'd love that. Thank you, you're sweeter than I could have ever dreamed of. I couldn't have asked for a more wonderful bride.
[ does she get to hear what sanji-san was like when he was little? or blackmail material for his awful brothers? anything works for her, give her a totally different kind of tea than the one her mother goes for ]
no video but definitely an audience. he blew the wall out of one of the shops. i was pretty little but i'm 90% sure he had eyebrows before that
[ All of the above! Reiju is happy to share cute Sanji stories, even if she might carefully curate them to make sure that they won't be misused if crazy shooty Pudding makes a resurgence. As for her other brothers, well, it isn't like they can be embarrassed by the stories she shares!]
Ouch, And he's quite a bit older than you, isn't he? So if you can remember it, he ought to have known better.
Well, let me put it this way. Ichiji, right? He's twenty-one and SPECIALIZES IN FIRE AND EXPLOSIONS and he only just figured out that 'inflammable' means the same thing as 'flammable.'
So I think I'll go with yes, it's most definitely universal.
[ forests and stone houses nearby! well, totto land is so big, it probably depends on which direction you head when you leave... but that means multiple options! ]
[ she squeals quietly out loud at the next part, though~!! it takes her a moment to collect herself before responding. ]
that far? really? [ she bites her lip, and decides to add something she's been mulling over for a while before she hits send. ] katakuri-nii, do you think some day i could be an ambassador myself? between my sweet face and my powers i could get anyone to agree to what mama wants
[Yes, there are multiple options. Some of Mama's subordinates go well beyond Totto Land's borders, mainly to collect the monthly payments of candy she desires. Others--we don't talk of them--go far out into the world and the underworld to gather all the intelligence that Mama makes good use of. Spies and informants and undercover saboteurs. But most of her children go no further than the bordering islands of the archipelago, and that only to collect special ingredients.
The rest stay at home to secure Mama's empire and protect their captain.
He foresees the comment before it comes, but it still makes him a mixture of wary and proud that his little sister is so interested.]
So long as a combatant or two went along with you, I'm sure you'd be permitted to go to one of the closer islands as an ambassador.
Mama values you greatly, Pudding, so she won't let you go too far from Totto Land.
of course! i'd definitely want protection, i know i'd be a target as a pirate if i was collecting for mama no matter if they knew i was a charlotte or not
[ pudding's proud and vicious and a sukeban at heart, but she's not stupid enough to think she doesn't need more firepower than her own pistol. ]
[ she pauses before responding to the second part, though. mama values her, alright. as a weapon, as a tenuous connection to the tribe of whomever her father was, as a potential bearer of the three-eyes' powers if they awaken as she ages. as a person? she doubts it. ]
it's fine. even being ambassador to somewhere nearby would be wonderful!
[Katakuri knows Pudding is both brave and ambitious, but she's not a fighter. She'll need an escort, simple as that, for Mama to even consider letting this happen.
He's not ignorant enough to realize the other predicament his little sister is in. The "item" and "prize" Mama believes all her children are. Pudding's third eye. Katakuri and Smoothie's strengths. Mont-d'Or's books. Etc. There's no escaping that.]
We'll have to see what she says. It's all we can do.
[ pudding stares at her phone for a good few minutes, reading katakuri's last few texts over and over again. she doesn't realize there are tears in her eyes until one of them splashes onto the screen, hitting the call button, which she frantically cancels before it can ring through. she can't risk talking out loud like this. ]
[He is a man of few words. But the long delay between his last text and hers does raise some suspicion and concern. Pudding's usually good at conversations, and he doesn't know her as one to be at a loss for words. So... Considering their conversation though, he's expecting a certain topic.
Out of respect for her, however, Katakuri doesn't use Haki to foresee.]
[ omgomgomg. maybe pudding's attached now, but she'll always always always love a good compliment, no matter how flirty it might come across. and ace has seen her third eye... how does sanji have such wonderful friends?? ]
[If she hasn't gotten used to Ace's general everything already, she'll know soon enough that it's not meant as flirtatious. He's just got this way about him, and goodness he's not going to lie about a beautiful girl kicking ass even if it's on a more emotional level.] Just calling it like I see it.
