[after feeding the purple bunny, it zips off past the receptionist desk and down to the door marked as 3C 💜, granting sanji access to the hallway temporarily. the door swings open for the bunny and as sanji approaches he'll find a quaint office inside and purple heart seated on the desk. as the bunny jumps into their hands while they bend down, they use a gloved hand to gesture to the chairs before him.]
Hey. Wanna have a seat?
Hey. Wanna have a seat?
[... Not really, no, he doesn't want to sit, though he forces himself to take the chair all the same. His manner has neutralized out of its previous energy, and he just watches both the bunny and this purple bastard for a beat]
So. I owe you a meal, first off.
[For the cigarettes. Might as well get that out of the way]

[the bunny wiggles its nose at sanji while staying seated in purple heart's lap, and they seem to be studying him intently for a moment.]
...only if you'd like. I understand that people don't actually owe us anything and some people may be more frustrated than relieved. [please feed them.]

[he is never okay.
And to demonstrate this point, his anger literally evaporates into thoughtfulness. This is why he needed the cigarettes as a mood neutralizer]
Curry... alright, that's doable. Though no complaining if it's not the type of curry you're looking for, there's like fifty different kinds.
[A pause, a glance at the bunny. Much as he wants to move onto the real reason he's here...]
What about them? They like carrots?

[Mouth briefly ticking up into a smile for the bun.]
Roger that.
[But now...]
Anyway, I got questions... because from my end, all three of you are full of shit if you're telling me we're just gonna relax for a couple of weeks. Why the hell are we in factions, first off? And why do I got another weird-ass power?

...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.
-- But what's the point?
[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?
[SUSPICIOUS TO THE END]

[SUSPICIOUS TO THE END]
-- Of course you can, if you ever want to leave and can't.
[Said with a surprising amount of levelness, given that he's been two shakes away from a hissing cat.]
'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?

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.

[... His expression turns thunderous for an instant.
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?

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.
