❛ how about we sail away as fast as we can? ❜

❛ about the battle, you wanna talk about it? ❜

❛ there's something on the breeze. smells like butter. soy sauce. and meat. ❜

❛ think he has brain damage? ❜

❛ i smell food, which means that there's someone somewhere cooking. ❜

❛ what's a... baratie? ❜

❛ let's eat! ❜

❛ you'll have to excuse them. they're idiots. ❜

❛ wanna take this outside? ❜

❛ are you asking me to dance? 'cause i kind of had my eye on that blonde at table eight. ❜

❛ i call it a true bluefin sauté. it's elephant tuna, seared asparagus, in a sweet soy reduction. ❜

❛ if i gotta sling one more prime rib medium-well, i am going to drop dead of boredom, you old shitbag! ❜

❛ this ain't gonna be a fight. i'm just going to kill him. ❜

❛ hi, welcome to our shitty restaurant where the only thing worse than the ambience is the food. ❜

❛ one of our signature cocktails to help you choke down your meal? ❜

❛ apologies, madam, i didn't see you there. ❜

❛ something wrong with your eye? ❜

❛ just blinded by your beauty. ❜

❛ nami's got a boyfriend. ❜

❛ did i catch you in the middle of something? ❜

❛ just killing some time. ❜

❛ who's the quarry? ❜

❛ doesn't sound like much of a challenge. ❜

❛ why are you after me? ❜

❛ you woke me from my nap. ❜

❛ i can't eat another bite. but it's so good. ❜

❛ who the hell is monkey d. luffy? ❜

❛ i don't even think there's liquor in this. it tastes just like candy. ❜

❛ who's ready for another drink? my treat. ❜

❛ i don't really do regret. no point in looking back. ❜

❛ sometimes, when i try to look ahead, all i see is back. ❜

❛ you know, you're a really good cook. ❜

❛ if a man is hungry, i feed him. ❜

❛ what are you carrying around that's so heavy? ❜

❛ i bet i know more about you than you do about me. ❜

❛ i guess something about you, you drink. you guess something about me, i drink.❜

❛ i have business with your captain. if you know what's good for you, you'll hand him over. ❜

❛ i've been following your career since i was a child. it's an honor to finally meet you, sir. which is why it pains me to inform you that tomorrow... you're going to die. ❜

❛ accept my challenge. you'll see how serious i am. ❜

❛ you want me to say you're the best? you're the best. okay? ❜

❛ you're the best i've ever seen, but you are not better than him. ❜

❛ why do you give a shit? ❜

❛ because you're my friend, you idiot. ❜

❛ you said it yourself. you don't have any friends. ❜

❛ what is that? i'm here for a sword fight. ❜

❛ i don't hunt rabbits with a cannon. ❜

❛ you're brave. i'll give you that. ❜

❛ wounds on the back are a swordsman's greatest shame. ❜

❛ this world could use a few more wild cards. ❜

❛ it's too soon for you to die. grow strong and come find me. i'll be waiting. ❜

❛ you could never fail me. ❜

❛ look, i'm not gonna lie to you. he's lost a lot of blood. it might be too late for him. but it might not be. ❜

❛ he's got one foot in each world right now, caught between life and death. you have to find a way to keep him tethered to our world. ❜

❛ nice of you to announce yourself. ❜

❛ i don't take orders. not even from the likes of you. ❜

❛ what's the matter? don't like fish? ❜

❛ if you don't want the fish, i got two-inch t-bones in the kitchen. or maybe you're in the mood for saffron risotto? ❜

❛ i can make anything. just tell me what you want. ❜

❛ being a captain, it's the toughest job in the world, okay? ❜

❛ how'd you two meet? were you on his crew or something? ❜

❛ oregano's for savages! ❜

❛ you've got a sharp tongue on you, boy. how about i cut it out and fry it up with some pig fat? ❜

❛ do what you want, but i'm not gonna die here. ❜

❛ they're all dead, except for us. ❜

❛ you ate it? you ate your own leg? ❜

❛ you don't even know me. why would you do that for a stranger? ❜

❛ so i'm gonna need you to live on. and i'm gonna need you to fulfill that dream... for both of us. ❜

❛ have any idea what that's like? having someone lose a limb to save your life? ❜

❛ sometimes, when you are in charge, you have to make the tough decisions. ❜

❛ i'd do anything to save him. anything. except stand in the way of his dream. ❜

❛ isn't there something that you want? something more than anything else in this world? ❜

❛ not everyone gets to follow their dreams. ❜

❛ did you not hear what i just said? they are hunting you. we need to run. ❜

❛ i can't let innocent people get hurt because of me. ❜

❛ i hear you're looking for me. ❜

❛ so this is the pirate i've heard so much about? ❜

❛ do you know who i am, boy? ❜

❛ how'd you even know how to find me? ❜

❛ if you bow down to me, i might even let you serve in my kingdom. ❜

❛ i don't bow down to any man. ❜

❛ i told you in the bar i didn't have any friends, but the truth is, i couldn't let myself have them... because i always end up hurting the people closest to me. ❜

❛ why waste your time killing a devil fruit eater? let the sea do it for you. ❜

❛ what is your problem? ❜

❛ me? i'm fine. you're the one with the problem. ❜

❛ you're not gonna be anything, not if you stay here. ❜

❛ it's not like i can just leave. ❜

❛ don't you get it? it's one thing to have a dream. it's another to go after it. ❜

❛ you want my permission? you got it. ❜

❛ i didn't know what to say before, but i know what to say now, and it's so simple. i need you. ❜

❛ you gonna keep talking, or let me get some sleep? ❜

❛ i vow to stand by your side from now until the end. ❜

❛ you're my captain, and i'm your first mate. ❜

❛ heard you guys need a cook. ❜

❛ why are we bringing the waiter? ❜

❛ you keep your feet dry. ❜

❛ you know, all these years, living under your shitty roof, cooking at your shitty restaurant... i owe you my life! ❜

❛ thank you for putting up with my shit all these years, old man. ❜

❛ i'll never forget you! ❜

" be a dear and pass me that bottle on the table, will ya? "

tipping her chair back, june sways on it idly as she devours the rest of her meal. the journey has been tiring and the weather doesn't help now that the coldest seasons have arrived. even nyla needed to recover from the cutthroat cold.

boot-clad feet will be perched on the table as she glances at the girl who sits on the other end of it. a noblewoman, obviously, judging by her clothes and carefully crafted hairdo. she looks bored to be here, entertaining june while mister fire lord zuko is on a meeting with the avatar.

" yeah, i know - he's a jackass for making you wait here with me, right? " she snorts a laugh, eyes dancing with amusement, " sweetheart, most noblemwoman i've met just seemed to do that: sit pretty and wait. but i've seen you fight - you're ruthless. nice. " @huodao

[bountyes]

" hey, look at you, already dressed like a big, ol' fire lord. "

bag is carried over her right shoulder, as she jumps off the shirshu's back, light footsteps take her closer across the courtyard to where the young man stands. the last time she saw him, that time, he was but a boy trying to find his path. trying to defy everything he thought he knew. perhaps, even if she lives by the edge of the law and has no sense of morality to speak of, june feels proud of zuko for saying fuck you to the fire nation and choosing to follow his own rules.

" so, i bring news, " she tosses the bag onto the ground with a loud thud, wide grin painted on her lips as she spreads her palms open, " nyla sniffed out the former general you wanted me to bring here for trial. nasty odor, but the fucker seems to be hiding in the border mountains. give me the order and i'll haul his ass back to you in one night. " @ljesaw

[bountyes]

" it sucks sometimes, doesn't it? having to be the bad guy all the time. "

eyes cast up to the nightsky, june's mind seems to have wandered off - she might be speaking to the girl before her, but her thoughts seem detached from the situation. she is thinking about herself as well ( june sees herself in this girl, that's never good ). perhaps, in the way she speaks to the princess, june is talking to some deep, twisted corner of her mind filled with self pity.

fucking disgusting.

" i mean, we have to be. 'cause that's almost the only way to get what you want, " she shrugs, proceeds to drown a gulp of her liquor, " i've never been on the other side, the righteous side. but i've seen it from the sidelines, and it brings no good following morality guidelines, " she gives a cutthroat smirk, adding, " then again, the world doesn't see shit like we do, apparently. " @huozhi

[bountyes]

" that's pretty impressive. "

a whistle of appreciation accompanies her words - june has to admit, the way the girl hangs from and maneuvers herself around the cloths attached to the ceiling of the tent is something she's never witnessed before. travelling performers from the fire nation tend to move from one different spot to another each time the seasons change, and in a sense, their nomadic lifestyle reminds june of herself. home is not where, but whom, used to say her dad.

arms crossed over her chest, she leans her back against the shirshu resting behind her, and once the girl has finished with her performance and landed on the ground with gracefulness, june will beckon her closer with one finger, " never seen anyone do anything ike this before. you could seriously kick some ass with those skills -- where d'you learn to do that? " @huozaji
