[ Shanks would appreciate Buggy not complaining about the restraints, considering. He's not ready to clamp Buggy in something that reminds him too much of sea stone. ]

[ He turns to Buggy's question and smiles. ] I've been having fun. It's your turn. You can say if you don't like something, you know?

[ Shanks isn't so into using knives on others, in particular, people already restrained. It's different if it's a sword fight, give and take. So, to start, he cups Buggy's face with his hand, then starts to trail it down his neck. ]

And what, precisely, would you like for your birthday? [ Of course, if Buggy requests the knives, well, Shanks will just have to comply. ]
