Not well enough to ask them to adopt you. There are some queens, too? That might count? Why does being a princess matter?
Are those the rules? I thought if you were a girl you were a bridesmaid no matter what, I didn't realize people had custody?
You didn't answer my question.
[A nudge, then, belated, Koby's presence against the shape of Nami's mind, her energy, feeling for something -- wrong, amiss, strange.

( her aura is, notably, different. not so much the rich sunset of vibrant colors that koby is used to, but a dulled aura, almost entirely devoid of color. like everything nami used to have dialed up to ten is now at a respectable number — say, zero, for instance. )
[Koby's about to argue further, but the dullness in Nami's aura is like a slap to the face -- wrong, wrong, muted and stifled and not her, and it has him going silent for a moment. Something from the house, something she ate or drank or walked under or -- something.
He wants to tell someone. He wants to tell Luffy, but. But.

And okay, you have dibs. Deal. When did you start thinking about all this? Marriage, I mean? Did something spark it?

All that's left, at least.]
