(Luffy isn't even sure how to answer such a compliment, the smile on his face softening ever so slightly at the touch on his cheek. With Nami's forehead against his it feels as if nothing in the world could even bother them, let alone interrupt and Luffy basks in the emotion, accepting it for what it is. Sure, later he'd think about it but there would be little room for worrying; such things to Luffy are simple and honest, no need to make it more complicated in his own head.
Still it isn't a conversation he'd expected to be having anytime soon, if ever. Some could frown at a captain hitting on his crew and so the idea of saying such precious words had rarely crossed his mind. Finding the One Piece took forefront and center of Luffy's mind most of the time and the promise from Nami makes his heart swell enough that he gives a small, breathless laugh.)
Couldn't get rid of you if I tried. (Talk of Julien is enough to somewhat dampen the mood as things seemingly settle back down to a semblance of normal and Luffy leans back a little as he glances around.) Already?
(He'd be tempted to stay and see what happens in the dark, but Nami is right; it's time to go and Luffy nods towards the stairs.) Want to hit the kitchens with me?
