...ah. You're from the castle with that war. [they nod sagely.] The powers are simply what we were able to impart on you from ourselves. And the teams were meant to be a division for future tasks. Think of it as a game of...I don't know, soccer? You can't play a friendly game without at least two sides to compete against. And there's three of us, so three teams.
[looking visibly frustrated, and he combs a hand through his hair]
You can't expect me to believe this is for the shitty fun of it all. Doesn't giving up those powers impact you three? Are you being trapped here against your will?
It doesn't really change us, no. We're still fine as far as I know...[but they seem to understand the frustration.] This is where we live. Can you really be trapped in your own home?
Then I suppose we're even. [with what???] Remind me what your power was, again?
[there's a considerable pause...] I'm kidding. Do you want the PR answer, or would you prefer the real answer? Both of them are true but one is a bit more in-depth.
I believe your underlying guilt from your previous endeavors continues to haunt you. [hm.] And I think you're the type of person that even when armed with the ability to lie to someone and create chaos, you won't unless absolutely necessary. And even then, your idea of necessary is different than most. Not everyone was selected to eliminate the competition to keep the ink flowing, you know?
With that said, I gave you that portion of my power because I think you're one of the most likely to understand how crucial evidence, or a lack thereof, may be in many cases...even non-murderous ones.
[he won't because he's still worried about all of the implications and doesn't believe this "camp" is going to stay blood-free, but just glaring daggers]
You wouldn't be the first. [strangely, the teasing tone's immediately gone and instead their attention seems to go toward the bunny, a gloved hand petting over its ears slowly.
but they move past it easily enough.] Isn't she darling? I suppose you could say I'm lucky to have her.
Well...she was lost one day. I was, too. So I suppose you could say we found one another and she's been here since. [the bunny wiggles its nose at sanji again.]
Yes. She's a brilliant little creature whom I owe quite a bit to. [the hand continues to pet the bunny's ears.] I also happen to like animals regardless.
You can still be a carnivore and be friendly with animals. Just leave rabbit stew off the menu, hm? [they shake their head.] Though you're correct. Animals are certainly less complex than other shitheads.

'Course, if you consider this place home then I've got nothing to say on that.

Is there a reason why you gave me the power you did? Or was this shit random?

But he breathes out slowly, knowing better than to let his temper turn violent, and instead drums his fingers against his knee]
Fine. I'll give you that one.
But since you know all this shit, you're aware imma do everything in my power to get what I want, right?

I'm completely aware. I never said that was a bad thing. I admire ambition.

Of course it's the animal that soothes Sanji's nerves in the end. He huffs, disgruntled, but leans back in his seat]
