❝ Oi oi, I thought this was the meet-up point! Why are we the first ones here? ❞ hands come to rest on his hips, clattering against one another. The friction makes a rather unpleasant sound but it’s one he’s grown used to over the years. ❝ Don’t tell me Luffy’s out causing trouble ── ❞
Words cut themselves short. A single drop of water falls onto his sunglasses and the distant roar of thunder sounds as though it’s grown impatient. Head snapping up to the sky, the cyborg seems thoroughly unfazed by the weather’s sudden desire to shift. It was such a fickle thing in the New World. One moment the sun graced the sky and the next lightning would strike a building and set it aflame. No matter how often the phenomenon occurred, he never could quite get a firm grasp on understanding it. It made him grateful knowing Nami had somehow learned to combat it when they were out to sea .
The makings of rainfall leave a peculiar scent of humidity in the air. Dense, heavy. The smell of damp soil from nearby potted plants would begin to take over the moment it got any heavier. But as a mist begins to turn into a fine drizzle, his attention snaps away from the sky. Recollection comes in the form of soft purple eyes. Scared, flighty, like a child ready to dart into the horizon. Unfazed becomes serious and quickly he moves .
❝ Wait, Camilla. ❞ Stern, but calm. It’s unfitting for the usual cheerful and eccentric behavior many expected from him. Cold metal fingers latch onto her shoulders just enough to hold her in place. It wasn’t his intention to keep her out in the rain for this. That broad figure looms over her as the rain begins to fall onto his back instead of onto her. Free hand to his face, pressing a finger to his nose. In place of the shaven head blooms a giant umbrella of blue hair dense enough to cast shade onto her body and protect it from the oncoming downpour. ❝ C’mon. Let’s get inside. The others are just gonna have to wait !! ❞ //: @xviridiis starter call!! { ★ }
