[ She can more than appreciate the sincere bravado with which Astra bats back her previous attempt to brush off the question, and Nami finds herself laughing as she gives the other woman a slow shake of her head. ]
Keep it up, I won't even need a kiss.
[ One corner of her mouth curves into a lopsided grin before she's back to picking at the massive wedding dress in her arms, strolling towards a shallow cave situated on the edge of a pool of water. ]
If you know how to use a rod, I can make you one. Since we're going to have to do everything for ourselves until we get out of here. Find food, build shelter– [ A beat. Her tone painfully deadpan when she adds: ] Somehow avoid falling in love.
