Night hike
'Walks on the beach should always have something comforting, where you turn off the time, you can relax a little and get a clear head. And what am I doing here?' She still thought a lot, mused and sighed loudly.
"Was it so bad with them?" Nami wanted to see her friend's face but she could not. Robin had her head down.
"Has our swordman you loss for words?" she knew exactly how she could elicit the response, as she fully met the mark with this question and both finally came to a halt. The archaeologist lifted her head and looked in the opposite sight and started to tell of her recurring dream. The situation with the small gesture at the port, which she actually first dismissed as insignificant she spoke it out in the hope that the navigator could give her some good advice.
Robin, who has been through a lot, through the difficult experiences of which she had to, was unable to free to self out this time a situation. She needed help, help from a good friend, a person she trusted.
"Oh, Robin, I think you have developed feelings for our Zoro, perhaps even more than just friendly and he also seems to have that for you." Nami's sentence blurted out so quickly, so it shocked her comparison she saw in her eyes.
"I do not know so well. Because he looks at you excluding only with this view, I can not find any other explanation. Better you should speak with him about your feelings."
"I should talk with Kenshi-san about my ... my feelings?" She had to swallow.
"I can not, not with him. You think he also has feelings for me? I can not imagine me with him. I'm not so sure. He is one who does not entrusted me. He never had any feelings or emotions towards me, nor the rest of you showed. Why then now?"
A small tear, as a sign of desperation, found slowly but surely its way and ran over the cheek of the blackhaired woman , then Nami took her in her arms and with comforting words like "Well, I would say you should not immediately talk to him but at some point you have to talk to him about it. ... Now show me a smile, I will show you some of my new clothes and that better with a hot cup of soothing tea. First of all I'll take your mind off." They went back to the Thousand Sunny, where both were warmly greeted by Sanji.
After the short presentation of the navigator in the room of the two women, the blonde cook shouted for dinner. The evening was as usual, Luffy and Usopp fought over who got the larger portion of the grilled meat. Franky, Chopper and Sanji tried to make apart both as best as they could because Usopp's hand disappeared along with a steak in the mouth of the captain and the comparison's hand with fried fish held in his mouth. Zoro was drinking a beer, Nami and Robin enjoyed the dished with extra fruit and cheese plate.
Later during rinsing the dishes, the straw hat got a good idea and with a huge grin he uttered it: "Hey guys, how about if we make a night hike on the island? Nice to shudder and to fear."
"Y-you m-mean out there in the j-jungle? I-I do not know." the long nose shivering and held on the crew doctor, both got already the most horrific images in mind.
"Ah so our sniper is not so super strong and grown up as he always does, " suggested the shipwright.
"No way! The great and fighting captain Usopp show you how brave he is! So come on to the night hike!" he stood demonstrative with one foot on the chair and pointed his outstretched arm to the outside.
After all our friends trudged some time later, equipped with torches through the dark and dense forest. A few times animal noises and rustling were heard in the bushes, so the little reindeer suddenly held to Zoro's leg and yet the shudder came over Usopp.
"Hey Chopper, could I have my leg back?"
"Come here little blue nose, I'll take you," came it forwards of the orangehaired. He immediately ran to her and climbed on her shoulder. After a while they came to a crossroad and decided for one of the ways, one of not so scary looked like the others.
After about 10 minutes Franky noticed something: "Um guys am I wrong or do we miss here not one?" all stand still and already suspected who this particular person only might to be.
'Typically our green haired sword moron is been again lost' Sanji thought, shaking his head. "Oh great, it was clear that this would go wrong. What should we do now, we can not all walking around here like crazy and look for the dork. We should have take him on the lead."
"Robin can use her devil powers if she finds him she could hit him as a reward for his stupidity" his girlfriend replied with a view to the archaeologist. At the same moment you saw several arms with the associated blue eyes springing up in all points of the compass to spread and lookout.
"It is actually much too dark to see anything clearly, but ... wait ... I got him. You can return to the ship, I'll be right back. I'll already get our lost Kenshi-san." The blackhaired pulled back her arms and disappeared behind the nearest tree.
"Should we not better according her?" came it from Franky.
"No, no, if one can find our Marimo, it's Robin. We just wait at the ship" said the blond to the others and went back with Nami hand in hand towards the Thousand Sunny. Luffy, Usopp and the rest of them shrugging their shoulders, strangely all at the same time, also made the way home and soon thought not more about it. 'Sanji will already be right with what he says.'
'It's hard to believe that you can get lost here. He has indeed a poor sense of direction. He was still just behind us as we did this inflection before. I do not understand him. He is often in my mind, grinning at me, recently provides me strange questions which would never expect that he could make such thoughts about. And now he disappears here and in the end I'm the one who have to look after this ... idiotic ... nice guy! Oh, Robin why are you doing too many worries about one man? Why can you ...'
"Whahhh! ... Ah, my arm!"
She was loud stumbling to the ground, she must be stumbled on something that lay in front of her feet and she immediately did not see it.
"Robin, what are you doing here?"
"Kenshi-san, do not say you're only lying here and has slept? I ... We search for you everywhere" she corrected herself still quickly.
"Because darkness had come and I also lost my torch, I had no desire to run through the whole bushes. I just sat down here and wanted to wait until sunrise so I could see again more." He looked a little bit stupid and tried to sound credible. Embarrassed, he scratched the back of his head and looked at her if she sensed it. He noticed the arm of the archaeologist: "Robin your arm is bleeding, wait here ..." and straightway he reached for his upper arm, dissolved his bandana and wanted to wrap around her just as she flinch a bit.
"No, I do not want it ... that's just a graze, not so bad."
"Do not move, what happens then if dirt come in the hole and it ignites? Chopper would immediately make me responsible, you know him, he is quite fussy on such stuff."
Willingly she held out her arm to the greenhaired, he tied it with great caution and then again their hands touched but only for a short moment.
"Thank you, Kenshi-san" it came very hesitant of her mouth.
"You're welcome" he said with a little smile on his mouth, he stood beside her and looked around the area. "Didn't you say the others search, too? I can not see any torch or suchlike." Oops, somehow she had neglected the others straw hats.
At that moment a rustle came from the bushes beside the both and revealed a pair of antlers with the appropriate body, behind this Nami with a happy face.
"Finally we have found both of you. Chopper noticed your smell, Robin, and I'm right afterwards him. Good to know here who clings to the scent of cherry blossoms."
"I can practically never hide from you, right?" she gave her little friend a smile and put her hand gently on his head.
"Hey Robin, what happened to your arm?"
"Do not worry little reindeer, Kenshi-san has taken care of me."
Both were visibly relieved to see their crew members and then they all went together towards the ship.
Arrived at their final destination the navigator held back the blackhaired a bit: "And did you have a chance to talk with him?"
With the head lowering and softly sighing, she got the answer: "No, unfortunately not. Probably it was not the right moment. You see what has come out in my attempt." The archaeologist held out the bandaged arm and looked at it. Nami put her hand on the shoulder of her friend.
"Maybe some other time, so you have a reason to speak with him again. I'm sure he wants back this fabric." and pointed to it.
"Yes, some other time." Robin smiled and grabbed her arm tied with the black bandana.
