Why not give him a text? Don't know how often he pays attention to his phone though...
[If Sanji could hazard a guess, he'd imagine getting Elliot on the phone is as tricky as getting Yusuke on it sometimes. These guys and their hobbies.]
IT IS FITTING THAT FOR HALLOWEEN WE REVIVE OLD THREADS. also YES!!!
[ But he has to? Untangle his arms from Sanji's waist? This seems like an unfair deal. But he'll do his best to get his phone out and replace his arms where they were before and try to text Elliot while still hugging Sanji.
[W O W Sanji has been nothing but good to Yusuke and he retaliates by elbow nudging him. Such rudeness.
... Also, everyone on this room knows Sanji's kinda ticklish so he is going to squirm and escape to the couch, so there's at least a foot of distance between them. B|]
A-anyway! Let's get this shitty act off the road.
[Grabbing the pillow with Yusuke's likeness on it... tilting his head]
Should I take a picture for prosperity, or would you kill me if I did that?
It's been a while since Yusuke had been to Pesgare, and seeing it again surrounded by colour is... nice. He hadn't been here with this place looking as it should, and in spite of everything that had happened when he'd been here before, and with their task set out for them, he's feeling... quite happy to be back. ]
They did say we'd be able to find the creature we're looking for out on the ocean, yes? So I suppose we'll need to rent or borrow a boat for the moment...
[ He sounds like he's focused on what they're doing, but he's just as busy staring at the beautiful waves chopping across the expanse of water, and the point where the horizon meets the skyline. The freshness of the air and the tang of salt. It's very lovely here.
It'd be nice to come here again without some sort of mission or goal in mind, other than enjoying the sights. ]
Sanji, meanwhile, stares at the ocean like he wouldn't mind jumping in and dissolving to his death, that's how sour of a mood he's in. Being afflicted with a million different viruses tends to make a man grumpy, and while he's been careful to avoid snapping at Yusuke, the result is a sullen and generally silent chef who is always two seconds away from lighting on fire.
It's just not a good combo]
Yeah, a boat. You might wanna get it before I infect anyone.
Unless I'm intruding, or taking up time you don't have, in which case I will take my leave.
[ But he's. Not untangling himself from this armhugtangle they've found themselves in until Sanji says yay or nay. And even then he's not moving if Sanji says he isn't intruding or taking up time he needs for something else.
[ He is super enjoying the sights. Shame that SOMEONE got vored by his best friend's fiance and became all slimy, huh?
Good thing they're surrounded by water in case Sanji does light something up. Bad thing they're surrounded by water, in case Sanji topples into the ocean and dissolves. That would be terrible, and make him very sad. ]
I think as long as you don't make an enthusiastic attempt to do so, you should be fine. I've not been exhibiting any symptoms that you have, after all.
[ ...
But yes, give him a moment. He's going to go secure them a boat. It doesn't take too long - a few words in certain ears, a brief exchange of some notes and coins, and then he's beckoning Sanji over to a small but sturdy looking boat with a little engine attached to the back of it. ]
[Sanji really would've been fine taking no pictures, but he can't help but smirk with the permission given.]
Renard, you spoil me.
[Because he is so whipping out his phone to take a picture of this monstrosity, forever preserved in the shadows until the moment Sanji decides to remind Yusuke this once existed.
'Course you can stay. S'not like I really make meals just for myself anymore.
[Even when Yusuke isn't over, Sanji is constantly putting food aside for when he's in the apartment and perhaps hungry, or takes food over to the Mochi house and making sure his skinny-ass boyfriend eats.]
[A grunt, because damn right Yusuke better not have any symptoms. That's been Sanji's goal above all else, putting the other's health before his own. It's a reminder that pacifies him for the time being, and he doesn't fuss as Yusuke leads him over to the small boat.
And like in all other things, Sanji does his best not to... touch anything. Only occasionally will he grimace and wipe some slime off himself, into the water, but otherwise the goal is to keep the mess to himself. Shit's nasty, yo.]
So we find this shitty thing and then we... kill it? What do we need again?
[He was too busy being grumpy to read the details.]
Then I have no plans to run out of your door right now, no. [ He hooks his chin over Sanji's shoulder and looks down at the food he's preparing. There is something soothing about watching him cook, from any angle. ]
