Starlight

"Well, you're up very late."

Robin offered a smile as she looked up from a certain blue book she was reading. Enter the cyborg with a much decent hairstyle, and with a bottle of Cola in his hand. He sat on a lazychair next to the archaeologists'. Naturally, at night, the Thousand Sunny wouldn't be lit up with unnecessary lighting just in case an enemy is near. The only burning lamp around the deck of the Thousand Sunny was above Robin's head, within an acceptable distance that enables her to read very clearly.

"Are you on night watch duty, Franky-san?"

The cyborg nodded with a settling smile. "But the Crow's Nest is getting a lil bit stuffy, so I opened the windows for a lil bit."

"Used to be my reading spot." Robin took a sip of her cappuccino and returned to her book.

Franky leaned back onto the lazy chair, his mechanical palms crossed to pillow the back of his head as he gazed up to the stars-decorated night sky, each of them twinkling like they own the world. He always have thought that those stars in the sky were lighthouses. Millions and millions of lighthouses, stuck at the far end of the sky. "What book are ya reading?"

"The Fault In Our Starlight."

"Thriller?"

"Romance between two cancer patients. Almond Grace has thyroid with mets in her lungs, while Augustine Fire has osteosarcoma, but then it became fatal."

"Super tragic," Franky commented, but he would've expected Robin's genre preference, anyway.

"I thought Augustine reminds me of you. Carefree, joyful... and a mechanical body part."

He snorted out a laugh. "What about Almond Grace?"

"Too pessimistic to be Nami." She sipped her warm cappuccino. "If you want me to read it for you, I can start over."

"Sure. That'll be super."
