Chopper wasn't paying full attention to the woman before him who stomped forcefully in his direction. Sadly, this led to Ulti smashing her leg into him, sending the little doctor stumbling backwards, landing at her feet on his rear with a harsh thud.

"Ow, ow…" The pirate whined as he rubbed his back, slowly lifting his head to see what he'd collided with. Was he really so distracted that he failed to notice the only other person out in this stretch of forest? He couldn't help blushing with embarrassment as his vision returned to him, taking in the sight of the Beast Pirate before him. "Ah… I'm sorry! I wasn't paying atten- Huh…?"

She looked vaguely familiar, but Chopper couldn't quite place it. Unlike Luffy, Usopp, and Nami, he hadn't fought Ulti and Page One, nor had they been his point of focus on Onigashima, with Chopper having been preoccupied with the chaos Queen brought to the raid party. The situation with the Ice Oni made everything else seem like a blur to him. While Chopper didn't recognize Ulti though, it was unlikely Ulti didn't recognize perhaps the most unique and difficult to mistake of the Straw Hat Pirates.

"I'm uh… sorry about that! I'll watch where I'm going next time!" With that, Chopper pushed himself back up without much complaint, offering a polite, but clearly uneasy smile. Whether he recognized her or not, Chopper at least noticed how angry the woman looked, not to mention the fact that she had a weapon. Best to avoid a potential fight when he's only here to visit friends.

PROMPTS FOR COMFORTABLE INTIMACY - always accepting!

Wrapping her arms around the little deer, Nami places the side of her cheek on his head between his antlers. For several long minutes she sits in silence, just holding her nakama close. If Chopper let her, she would never, ever let go.

"Because you're so cute," Nami responded, continuing to rub her face against her new familiar's face. Though she could feel him stiffen in her grasp, she didn't dare let him go. She had long been in need of a familair, and she knew Zeus was just the one for her. "And she doesn't appreciate you the way I will."

Before Linn enters the Strawhat Pirate's medical bay, she stops in her tracks, knocking, then entering again. The mink made a small walk around the ship, asking Sanji if he could spare some snacks for both doctors. They got plenty of work done, gained new insights into different topics around treating wounds, and cleaned up some notes in their respective journals. A little break was long overdue. ❝ I'm back, Chopper. Your ship's cook said you liked sweets. He prepared some pudding for both of us. ❞ Descending to the reindeer and kneeling down on a pillow seat on the wooden floor, a white, furry hand reaches out, offering the sweet desert to Chopper.

Katakuri sprinkles a small handful (bucket) of salt on the small ex-government agent.

alright, maybe going straight to the railing of the ship wasn't the best idea during a battle, but with the oncoming cannon he couldn't just let it fly and destroy the sunny. though, having been made out of sea prism stone--he was bound to be rendered useless the moment it hit his leg.

luckily he had usopp jump into the sea after him, without his help getting him back onto the ship he knew that he would have been a goner. so, with a breathless voice he spoke.
