He sounds like his own man, is what I mean. Not rigidly attached to rules or ideas of what a captain HAS to be, just because that's how it's always been. You think he’d like me? [It’s a little shocking how important that is, the idea that Quentin’s father (beloved, missed, longed for) could meet Koby in all his awkward, too-earnest, too-rambling messiness and like him.] Really?
It's much better. I got so used to eating whatever Alvida left over that I forgot food could taste good. But Sanji's really good at making things even better than this place does.
he'd like you. he liked people who asked questions. who wondered about the world just like he did. i think that's why his wife left him - she couldn't see any value out on the sea. never understood people who planted roots and refused to see the rest of the world.
you don't have that problem.
but that said, i'm glad you have a cook, and that you're out of that old bitch's grasp.
i like the food here, too. the opportunity to try things that would be out of my reach is a pleasant and welcome surprise.
I think I would've liked him too. I can't imagine wanting to stay on land your whole life either. All I've ever wanted is to go to sea.
Me too. It's been nice having them here and in the last place we were stuck. I don't really talk about it much, but I would've died if it weren't for them.
[The insult towards Alvida is an odd thrill -- one Koby almost reflexively corrects, actually looking over his shoulder to see if she's there, somehow.] I am too. It's better, without her. Everything's better.
It feels a little too hard to believe, doesn't it? But you can trust anything Sanji makes, it'll be safe. I'll ask him to make something. For you.
