The Deal With Kids.
"I'll miss you~!!" Momonosuke essentially cries as he runs up to the redhead with his arms open wide, leaping into the air as if about to hug her but she manages to catch him mid-flight, not even attempting to pull him into a cuddle. Instead she passes the child to Bepo, earning herself a disapproving frown from the polar bear in return.
"How mean!"
"Children aren't my forte." She explains in the form of a murmur, her brown orbs resting regrettably on the small boy, it isn't like she has anything against him personally so she does feel admittedly rather guilty for her somewhat cold treatment. "If that were the case, I'd be allied with the Kid Pirates."
Oh well, he had plenty of love from Nami and Robin, he doesn't need any from me also.
Two sudden snorts erupting from both Shachi and Penguin immediately catch her attention, her brow quirked as she shoots them a questionable glance, a small and curious hum rumbling in her throat.
What is their problem?
"What makes you think Eustass-ya would even allow it? Especially with your attitude, Kyo-ya." A certain doctor mocks from behind, seemingly speaking for the pair. She didn't even hear him approach...although that is often the case, considering his devil fruit.
"Eustass? Who said anything about Eustass?" She calmly questions, successfully shaking off her slight surprise as her eyes find the captain's stormy ones, his smirk forever present on his face. "I said Kid Pi--oh."
Well now, aren't I the fool?
She had originally meant an imaginary group of pirates consisting of only children when she mentioned the 'Kid' pirates, definitely not the legitimate bombastic crew that is mostly known for causing unnecessary violence if (and whenever) they can.
She doesn't miss the subtle sound of Shachi and Penguin quietly snickering in the background at the slight blunder either, the boys only causing her pout to deepen.
"Furthermore, there is nothing wrong with my attitude, Trafalgar." She finally grumbles, still taking into account the smug smirk and confident air about the man before her, she would certainly love to wipe that egotistical look off his face. Suddenly, a small smile tugs on her lips as she gazes off the the side thoughtfully. "Hell, I'm sure Eustass and I could become vast friends. Who knows, maybe we could even be related."
She's just messing with the surgeon by this point of course, Eustass Kid is the very last person she'd like to speak to, she would probably have her hand clasped around her dagger throughout the whole conversation (if they ever had one) because she'd be waiting for him to try and attack her or something of the sort.
Law's brows instantly furrow though and his smirk quickly fades into a small grimace, implying that her little comment knocked his confidence a bit, like she had hoped.
Good, serves you right...handsome jerk.
"If you come across him, Kyo-ya, avoid him."
"I beg your pardon?"
Did he just tell me what to do?
By this point, the surgeon's crew had all seemingly vanished from sight, apparently they are smart enough to know when to make themselves scarce.
"You heard me very clearly." The raven firmly rasps, making his way past the girl and toward the table instead, his eyes skimming the rough drawing of Wano's layout. "And you'll have to wear the geta sandals if you wish to fit in with this country."
His remarks only earn him a disgruntled groan, which naturally only leads to the raven taking a deep breath, bracing himself for the heated reaction that he just knows is right around the corner.
"But I can't walk in tho--DON'T CHANGE THE SUBJECT, TRAFALGAR! YOU JERK!"
Much to his surprise, that was a lot tamer than he had expected.
Apparently she's getting more soft-hearted these days.
The male finally just releasing the breath of air as his eyes sharpen, his stare burning straight through her own.
"Kyo-ya..."
"I'm wearing my own shoes, the kimono will cover them up regardless, so it doesn't really matter." She casually states, cleverly deciding to let the topic about Eustass Kid slide since she knows the doctor is simply just concerned for her safety, besides she doesn't expect to run into the fiery supernova anytime soon so there's no point in bickering about him.
Law even looks a little shocked by her response for a brief second before he pulls the indifferent expression back to his face, his focus settling back on the rough map before him. "...Fine."
"Mmh. ...Hey, Law?"
"What is it?"
"You're pretty cute when you're worried."
"I'm not--! Sh-Shut up!"
It takes a fair amount of effort to fight back the cackle that's threatening to escape her throat, the wicked grin on her lips simply can't be helped though.
Her eyes also scanning the map roughly since she often gets separated from everybody else one way or another, it may be best to study the region in advance, all things considered.
Usually, she would just wing it and hope for the best, but right now she has somebody she would very much like to return to when the battle is over.
Even if he's a smug bastard sometimes.
