Bianchi sat on one of the pilings at the private pier out of Melano, the sea breeze cool enough to make the day bearable as it whipped her hair out to the side. Apparently this Sanji character was a sailor. He wouldn't be able to bring a fully rigged ship into this port, that would have had to be in Varuna but a skiff would be fine. She hadn't actually expected a sailor to be punctual so she had a book on her lap and she would pick it up occasionally to read when she wasn't enjoying the play of the birds over the water or the people setting out and coming in past the jetty. She was looking forward to this afternoon. Rarely did someone come from so far just to taste her cooking. Not when they knew who she was anyway. And he'd been so enthusiastic, far be it for her to dissuade him.

I don't mind fudging things. My googlefu is strong

He was so easy to steer. A little calculated touch and he was putty in her hands. "Yes, I have a friend in Alba who lets me know each year when the harvest is coming in." She tilted her head and looked thoughtful, then pulled her cell phone out and dialed a number.

After a short conversation with a local restauranteur she managed to order a Vietti 2001 Barolo for delivery. She snapped the phone shut and smiled. "I have been out quite a bit lately. I'd forgotten to pick up something appropriate." She said by way of explanation. Dropping her phone back into her purse, she sat back and looked at him curiously. "So, your crew was not upset about the personal trip?"

He really was - though most of the time he knew when he was being steered whether he acted like it or not. The fact of the matter was he really didn't mind if it was a lady doing the steering. That's just the way he was. To the question he shook his head.

"No, they weren't. They'll be able to keep themselves occupied around town, I'm sure."

So if weird shit goes down today you can blame the Mugiwara pirates.

Bianchi wouldn't have minded him realizing it. Especially not if he just allowed it to happen anyway. "I hope they watch themselves. There are some... interesting characters about." She murmured offhandedly, crossing her legs and looking up at the window. They still had a little while before they reached her stop in Halcyon.

"Perhaps you can bring some of the leftovers back for your friends."

Sanji laughed a little at that first statement, waving a hand dismissively.

"...Our whole crew is made up of some 'interesting characters' so I'm sure they'll all be fine. I almost wonder if we should have sent a warning to everyone else instead knowing those guys..."

She smiled to herself . "Mmm, sounds exciting. I do hate it when things get dull. We can check the news tonight." She pushed the call button on the side of the bus as they passed the last stop before her's. "The only person I care about can handle himself just fine."

"There's definitely never a dull moment with our crew."

He's smiling a little with this. Sure, it could sometimes be a little troublesome but he couldn't imagine not being with his crew. Regardless of what kind of trouble they get into it just wouldn't be the same without them.

"Oh? A boyfriend?"

That earned a chuckle from her, the lightrail car pulled to a stop and she stood, moving to one of the exits down onto the sidewalk. "No, a brother." She actually looked tender about that, none of the smoky panther smiles for Hayato. Her love for him was pure tainted only by the horrors she'd committed against him as a child at her father's behest. And still committed today to keep him from running away on sight.

He followed after her as she headed out towards the sidewalk.

"I see."

Sanji smiled at that response taking in the new scene around him. He was obviously still listening to what she had to say but he was also a little curious about his surroundings as well.

"I don't really have siblings myself though I do have people I consider as close as siblings."

"Ahh, then you understand." She replied with a nod as they began walking through the neighborhood toward her condo. "He's so independent." She sighed a little and grew quiet, letting the sound of birds in the trees take over.

"Is that a bad thing?"

He doesn't mean to pry but he can't help but be a little curious. Something is definitely different about you when you talk about your brother.

Bianchi smiles to herself. "It's good. But it means he doesn't need me. I'm actually surprised he concedes to spend any time at all with me." She shrugs and turns a corner. Really having him join her team for midnight games was something of a shock. A pleasant one though. "Independence is something we should all hope those we love can attain, don't you agree? I'm just up here a block."
