"For reals?? Oh, Robin-chan, I'm so so so happy for you. How exciting is that!! How does he look like? Do you have a picture? Or is he on some social media?" Like any true friend, Nami was ready to track the guy down online to evaluate whether he was worthy of her friend's time and affections. >

( Nami obliged, taking seat at the table. ) Thanks, Sanji-kun. I look forward to the specialty. ( As soon as he disappeared, she drew her phone forward to check on her messages and mail. She was expecting an e-mail from one of her professors regarding her mark on the last exam. )
