Is it really a bad thing to be moved by something like a small creature living despite the odds being stacked against it?
[ He’s absently rubbing a soothing circle against Sanji’s wrist through the fabric of his clothes now — so focused on not making skin contact and causing Sanji to shift away that he fails to catch the odd wheezing sounds behind them. In the background, the large lizard seems to be laughing. Wheezey and more like a body motion than an audible laugh, but there’s liquid pooling in his eyes and he seems to be having a great time watching all this.
[WHELP. It didn't take long for Sanji to realize he's being made fun of by a lizard of all things, though honestly, his comedic switch for tears to fury only makes the creature guffaw more, tail banging into the rock with great enthusiasm]
Listen you little shit, the only reason I don't come over there is I'll get slime everywhere!!
[TURNS OUT THEY'RE A GREAT COMEDIC ACT. Also Sanji, no one can take you seriously when you're oozing. He can't even properly set on fire.
[ Well. Uh. At least they got the lizard laughing. And are continuing to keep the lizard laughing the longer Sanji yells at it. Carefully letting go of his sleeve, Yusuke carefully steps out of the boat and creeps a little closer to the creature. Please keep yelling, Sanji. It seems to be loving this.
It takes a lot of concentration, but he's able to use Goemon to freeze a few of the tears as they fall - catching them and popping them into what looks like a small milk bottle. Something simple to carry around in his pocket. Now he just has to uh... get past that tail again and back to the boat. Can they even get out via the boat? The current is still out there, and it's likely to pull them right back here again, isn't it?

A travesty.]
