[ it's not like he anticipates any of this actually going smoothly, considering that interactions between he and zoro typically always result in the tense continuation of an argument until one or the other steps outside the room. there have been exceptions, of course, but that usually involves tongues going down each other's throats and fondling hands, both of which are entirely out of the question with nami in the room.
ignoring zoro's childish retorts, sanji keeps his attention on the more respectable presence in the room, already prepared to abide by all of her instructions, keen on being able to sleep by her side — until the final suggestion gets a raised brow from him. he and nami have done plenty beyond sleeping, but in a similar fashion that he's not going to do anything with zoro with nami around, he's also obviously not going to do anything with nami with zoro around. ]
