Day 32: Sun Room (2nd shift)

[heraldric.livejournal.com]

After the couple glasses of water Leon managed to gulp down during breakfast, the mage felt immensely better. He was still a bit tired, but that was nothing a little lounging on one of the sofas wouldn't cure. Stretching his arms above his head, he couldn't help but wish he'd had the chance to grab one of his new doctor's coats before leaving his room that morning. Maybe they would have let him get away with wearing it. Maybe.

He grabbed an empty sofa, pulling out the journal he tried to keep on him at all times. It was nearly complete now. Just a couple more pages to go. It might not improve his spellcasting that much, but any improvement was better than none. It was getting to where it might be too dangerous for him to use spells at all, if it left him so worn out without even finishing a monster off.

"Varying amounts of time, it looks like." Luffy and Usopp had both been around longer than he had - Luffy the longest by far. "I've been here..." he frowned, attempted to get a proper count on his fingers, then shook his head. "A few days." It seemed longer, but he knew it hadn't been.

He didn't even want to get into the whole mess about how he and Zoro had apparently been there before...

Max nodded. "Enough time to get the hang of the place, then. Have you had much luck exploring the place, or have you been focused on other things?"

"We've had... some luck." All right, no. Their luck had actually been very poor so far, and every attempt to get where Nami really wanted to go had been thwarted. It was though monsters were strategically placed to block their way!

"There's a handful of us, so we've focused on various things aside from exploring to some success." Kind of. Maybe.

"Whether you're a handful or alone, this place seems to delight in interrupting your plans either way," Max replied wryly, lips twisting in rueful exasperation. "I've managed to get to the basement once, but the nights never seem quite long enough, yeah?"

No, they didn't, but Sanji skipped all discussion of that in favor of focusing on what she'd said right before that. She'd been to the basement? Wasn't that where Nami was trying to go?

He should ask her what the best route to take to get there should be. Then again, if he did that, would that be an insult to Nami's guidance? The last thing he wanted to do was get her upset. He'd bring it up with her first, then, and see if she wanted to ask this woman herself.

"They're not normal nights, no," the chef frowned again, shaking his head.

"Still, I suppose it could be worse," she sighed. "At least they give us the night hours relatively free. If they kept us as locked up and closely guarded as they did in daylight, I think some of us really would have gone mad by now."
