"Yohohoho!" More laughter came as Luffy mimicked himself, "Then we're both awake!" Or both dreaming, but that would have been more than just a little stretch for what could and couldn't happen! Speaking of stretching, shouldn't Luffy have been able to stretch his cheek much more than that? The Captain was rubber and all - down to his bones too! Oh, Luffy should try some Skull Jokes once in a while! He was bound to like making some himself with how much he liked hearing Brook do them!
Still grinning, Brook finally decided to have a seat on the couch alongside the younger man. Those people in white were still giving him those strange looks, but why wouldn't they when he was so easy to spot while standing?! Sitting was better for conversing anyway. "Fifty years it's been since I've have skin, or anything other than just dead bones! Even blinking is strange!" he admitted, naturally choosing to blink a few times to prove a point, "and other things too! Like my heart! I can feel it beating in my chest! Yohohoho! Having skin, how I've missed it!"
Surely if he had been talking with any other member of the crew, or at least with one of the ones who didn't know or remember him, the conversation would have been going in a far different direction. This was a re-introduction for him, but a first for everyone else, with only difference being that he had skin. Telling them that he'd met them all as a skeleton would be the same as having met them as a skeleton, he was convinced. He could still remember little Chopper and Usopp's panicked shrieks about ghosts an vampires, and Nami's equally as harsh shouting. Zoro too had been really upset! But he usually was about something or another.
But not Luffy! Luffy had liked him right from the beginning and hadn't been scared at all! Really, he'd found himself a great friend that night (or maybe it had been morning)!
"How sad!" he exclaimed at the mention of no violins, "Not even anything stringed? The piano counts of course, but that would not be particularly easy to tote around!" Though the added "weird" and "thing" made him wonder if it truly was a piano. Even a standard type would have been recognizable at the very least, so what could incriminate a piano as being a weird thing? "Maybe there is something small I could play. A flute perhaps. It's no good if I cannot have something with me!"
