[ Action, Voice ] .022

[Today, Katara is on a mission. There are people she has to thank for giving her presents, and to that purpose she has prepared small pressed impressions of dried goldenrods in glass (thank you, Usopp and the item shop) or pressed into paper with the words 'Thank You' written on it, depending on what she thinks you'll like more. Yes, this has taken her all week.

She will either be dropping them off at your house, or meeting with you personally to touch base with you. There are a few other people she's on the look out for in particular, and several side missions she also hopes to accomplish. Feel free to bump into her at any point as she goes about her business, whether or not there is a dried flower for you!]

Ginko, where are you today?

Allen - are you busy today? I'd like to stop by.

Brook... [there is some hesitation here] can I ask you a question?

[And sometime after the conversation with Sanji, you'd better believe that she's hunting her brother down. Where will she find him? Will she have to hold his dinner hostage?]

What isn't sudden, in this place. [That - was a touch too bitter for her tastes. And so she shrugs.] Change is just - like that.

[Oh, he understands.

And he's also kept her here for longer than she probably wanted. He sighs and gets to his feet, so he can walk her to the door]

Truer words have never been spoken. [said a little wryly]

[She takes a long sip from her iced tea and takes Sanji's hint to stand.]

Sanji? ...you look tired. Maybe you should take a nap.

[He halts, and manages some surprise]

Eh? Do I? [rubbing the back of his neck] With everything happening to Noel-chan and Nami-san... [He trails off since that's not quite... true.

But she doesn't need to know what happens when he closes his eyes and dreams. Instead, he glances back up and smiles tiredly, not trying to hide it]

I'll take one in a bit. [He'll try]

Good. [And then - because she can't help herself, because it's who she is, she steps forward and gives Sanji a hug that lasts a few moments longer than her usual brief embraces.

She doesn't know what it is. But.

It will be okay.]
