[ execution was sure a thing wasn't it? he didn't miss people's reactions especially their anger but giyuu has been pretty quiet about it all. with the rain adding to the gloom, here comes giyuu into the kitchen still being quiet.
he's not really here for a meal, but it's somewhere to be. he'll make a note of sanji when he arrives but...doesn't say anything. not yet? kind hard to know what to say to someone who watched someone they knew get beaten to death like that. ]

[At this point after the execution, Sanji's anger as cooled -- still present like embers once a fire has burnt itself out, but hot to the touch if you're not careful.
Giyuu's not on his shitlist though. He glances up, assessing, and then drops his head back down to his work at the counter]
You're a quiet one, aren't you?
[It's a neutral statement, just filling up the silence.]

[It's a neutral statement, just filling up the silence.]
[ there's something relaxing about listening to someone just work away in the kitchen, he has to admit. perhaps it's because it has so many deep routes into simpler or more welcomed times than not? either way, giyuu speaks up when spoken to. ]
Yes. [ he pauses and recalls his profile as well as some things he has heard from others. ] I'm not very good with conveying things.
[ as though that wasn't obvious enough. ]

[ crew? oh, right. pirate. ]
Are you sure? I've heard that noise like that can be a good thing.
[ look, he knows that sometimes people just like living in a noisy place. if he's a pirate then maybe he likes that kind of noise? he has never heard of quiet sailors. ]

Do you cook for a big crew then?
[ he actually doesn't know much about the pirate side of things and, well, that's so much better topic of conversation than the alternative right now. so if he looks happy to talk about it, then giyuu will keep asking. ]

Nah, actually... it's pretty small as far as crews go.
[Sometimes Sanji forgets because each of his crewmates has the personality of ten]
There's my beautiful navigator and archeologist to start~!! ... and, uh. then the captain, the sniper, the shitty swordsman, our skeleton musician, the doctor, and our shipwright.

[ oh. that seems like a modest crew—perhaps the boat he sails isn't a very large one? giyuu has never seen a pirate ship in real life so he can only imagine.
that said he...can follow up until skeleton.... look, he is accepting a lot of things when it comes to the murder game but this. that's??? ]
A skeleton musician?
[ ?????? ]
...do they dress up as one?

[ ( naru voice ) i love one piece so much but also what the fuck one piece.... ]
Afro..?
[ giyuu is a time and of a culture before afros, so the thing he's imagining right now will effectively be a skeleton walking around with a puffier looking topknot? is...that how things work?
he played himself by letting him think about this too much. ]

[WHAT. THE FUCK. IS ONE PIECE!!
Also Sanji, troll that he is, enjoys the look of lost exhaustion on poor Giyuu's face, but he's willing to have mercy and begins snickering under his breath]
Oi, don't worry, even where I'm from, skeletons walking around is not the norm. Brook ate a Devil Fruit that activated on his death, and that's why he's still alive.
[That is a sentence he just said]

[ PLOT WISE AND CANON WISE. WHAT THE FUCK IS ONE PIECE.
but. yes.
those are, indeed, words that he has just spoken and that entire sentence didn't make a single sense to him. is this better or worse than techono babble??? ]
Like a demon?
[ ONLY DEMONS CAN COME BACK TO LIFE FOR HIM OKAY. also "devil fruit"?? sounds like demon nonsense. ]

-- No, no! Nothing like that!
[Turning quickly and waving his hands in the air to dispel that thought. Just because Brook isn't here doesn't mean Sanji won't defend him from a demon slayer]
He's 100% human. Just... without the skin or organs. It's... uh. It's complicated.
-- But not a demon!

[ alright, not a demon, but he frowns nevertheless because?? ]
It sounds complicated. Is it like a special ability—magic?
[ because it doesn't sound like it would be "advance technology" for all things considered. unless there is a future world that can do that, and if there is then giyuu will just stop trying. ]
You said he ate a fruit.

In a sense...
[How DO devil fruits even work? Sanji's aware of the scope of their powers, that his shithole of a father was invested in some of their secrets, but...]
Though there's enough shitheads working on expanding the power of a devil fruit and how to apply it, that it's almost a science at this point. Someone once combined a sword and the Elephant Fruit.

[ this does not help him, sanji. giyuu is just increasingly lost and just..???? ]
A sword and an elephant fruit?
[ just going from the information that he has going for him right now—actually no, nothing comes to mind because he can't quite understand it. ]
...how do you get a sword to eat a fruit.

No shitty idea.
[...]
Just -- don't worry too much about it. My world's got all kinds of weird shit like that floating around.
[All of which is "normal" in his eyes, but Sanji understands how crazy it's going to sound to a passerby.]
What about where you come from? I know it's got demons, but...

[ hello sanji, here is a man who will be stumbling into your home away from home on a bit of a mission? things are all kinds of bad, admittedly, but there's just something that he wants to do. something that he thinks might be helpful for some people.
so, do not mind giyuu's still terrible manners. he's trying to sound polite, at least? ]
Can I request a favor from you?

[ how would he describe where he's from? the first word he wants to use is "normal", but clearly everyone's definition of "normal" varies among one another that he's just...trying. ]
I'm uncertain what you'd be used to but it would be "normal", or perhaps by your standards a bit boring.
[ you know, since he had demons and sanji has the entirety of one piece.

No no, I love hearing about other places.
[He seems to be sincere in this, tossing a grin in Giyuu's direction]
I don't care how small the details are -- every place has their own shitty charm.
["ignore the egregious use of the word "shitty" from him, he's just Like That.]

[ it's so funny that sanji considers him polite but he has been making huge efforts lately. ]
Could you teach me how to make something that could be easily shared? [ hm. he considers it for a moment longer. ] Something comforting and warm.
[ giyuu is hoping that it isn't weird. maybe it isn't that weird of a request given how things are but—you never know. ]

[ hm. well if he's coming off as sincerely despite the cursing, giyuu is going to make his best effort to describe where he's from...without the demons. no one needs to know about something that's already there and bad. ]
It isn't very advance as some people have told me about their worlds. The country that I live in called Japan and I live in a complex of my own. It's quite out of the way and I rarely have too many visitors.
[ is that the kind of details that sanji was looking for?? ]
The buildings are built differently than they are here. [ he doesn't know how to describe them so he moves on. ] The food that's served in the mess halls are things that are largely unfamiliar with me. It's been interesting trying them out.
[ HE'S TRYING SO MUCH. ]

[Sanji is used to Zoro on a daily basis. Everyone else just automatically comes up smelling like roses by comparison.]
Oh, that all? Of course.
[No hesitation on Sanji's end if that's the request, and his face breaks into a wide smile]
Stew's a good one. Nothing better than a nice bowl to keep everyone calm.
