[Kotetsu's been laying low, for the sake of... well, not getting into trouble. He's been doing pretty good, okay? Like, exceptionally! Today is just 'Filter Through the Item Shop' day, where he's getting a few simple things; a camera, a new coat, and the usual sort of thing. Of course, he hardly expected to run into a box of familiar old records--his own, right outta' the apartment back home. He's excited and grinning when he slides back the opened top a little.]

Maaa, no way! This has my Mr. Legend albums and everything!

[Hell yes, today is the best day ever!

... Eh? What's this?

He removes the top completely and narrows his eyes at the small notebook on top. It'd have his recorded regression of power inside, he knew, and there was nothing like a brief reminder of your disappointments to kill the mood, right? But he just grumbles in annoyance under his breath and tucks the small journal away in his back pocket before hoisting up the box of goods.

Perfect. Now there was only one issue.]

[Voice]

Oi, oi, anybody got a video record player they'd let me borrow for a while? Nothing fancy, just whatever'll play my old records! Or a record player for my music, anyway; do the malnosso give those kindsa' things out?

I searched the store, but I didn't see any...

[Hnn.]

Actually, I was wondering if you guys had any kindsa' heroes back home; not like, officers and army people—those guys are heroes, too, but I mean the old fashion Heroes! With capes and masks and all kinds of cool stuff like that! The ones who have neat powers and fight the crooks!

Things like that are the coolest, don't ya' think?

[Afterward he lankily walks off to work, whistling into the kitchen. And practically drools while he sweeps, because my god, why did he work in a place where food was made specifically not for him. :C

He needs something to listen to to get his mind off things.

KITCHEN NEEDS SOME MAD TUNES, PEOPLE. COME ON.

...

I-is that a pie on the oven?

A-aha, well, I'm more like. A volunteer. [... head-itch.] It's kinda' weird, because I was only planning on coming in for a week, but...

[It probably shows how well Miyabi knows Sanji and his, er...quirks that Kotetsu's response is met with a sheepish smile and a snicker. Hoo boy, she knows exactly what's going on now.]

You must've done something pretty bad to upset big brother if he's got you trapped like this. I'm sorry. [For you. 8|;;]

[He laughs.] Well, actually, he fed me when I was a tiger, so I thought I'd repay him by washing dishes and stuff... I guess it just sort of happened.

Oh. ...So he "caught" you, then. [She snickers. That sounds like him, all right.] Don't worry, Sanji-nii may act like he doesn't care sometimes, but if he's letting you do this much here, I know he likes you. He just has his own way of showing it. It's weird, but he really is very nice, I promise.

[You'll do fine, Kotetsu. GANBARE!]

[Ganbare.... ;;]

He's always pretty mean to me, though... Are you sure that's just how he is?

Yes. [Said with very little hesitation.] Sanji-nii is mean to a lot of people, but that's just how he is sometimes - certain people get it more than others. If he's letting you work here, even doing what you do, then I'm sure he cares somehow. He wouldn't keep you in a place where he can keep an eye on you if he didn't.

So don't worry, okay? [And you know what? B| She is going to take a knife, and cut a piece of pie for Kotetsu. Because he deserves it. ~~CAN'T B TAMED.~~] Here. If Sanji-nii complains, tell me right away. I'll take care of him.

[Oh, he was about to feel really content and good with that first part]

[fsdfhskdjhfdkj UNTIL YOU STAB THAT PIE

LOOKING AROUND IN FEAR]

M-miyabi! Are you sure that's okay??

[Pff--okay, don't laugh. Don't laugh, this is clearly freaking him out. Goodness, Sanji, what have you done to this poor man?!]

Yes. It's fine. [Trust her on this. Sanji'd be more mad if you just wasted the pie than ate it.] ...If you really don't want it, though, I'll give it to a customer.

[And, she'll even dress the plate all nice, too. Presentation is half the appeal of good food, after all!]

E-eh, if you say so... [He takes the plate, feeling LOVED AND WELCOMED UNLIKE SOME PEOPLE MAKE HIM FEEL.] Thanks a lot, Miyabi...

[Miyabi just waves her hand with a smile. Honestly, if she said it was fine anymore, she may just tire herself out. Gods, though, she's going to have to at least let Sanji know she shared pie with Kotetsu before the chef rounds on him or something similar. Hopefully she can catch him before things get to busy, or before Sanji catches Kotetsu.

But for now, orders must be filled! She'll be the one in trouble if she doesn't get this food out to the customers quick enough. Miyabi smiles, waves to Kotetsu, then scurries back out with a tray of steaming food.

Enjoy your pie. :|b]
