Just for you, I'll wash my face first.

[Isn't he generous? She should definitely praise him for it. Although the hand on his arm, steering him towards-- a room? in the back has him pausing curiously.]

Where are we going?

Aren't you supposed to be a great performer or something?

[ Nami counters, somehow managing to sound exasperated despite the fact that she's leading him into the bar's storage room and towards an abandoned booth in the corner. ]

The suspense is part of it, right?

[ Lifting the top of the table to reveal a dark, narrow staircase leading down, Nami tilts her head towards it, grinning ever so slightly. ]

Come on, idiot.

[ It's a short trip down, and then another one back up again, before she's pushing open another trap door, this one leading onto a walkway surrounded by a lilypond. ]

I'm a fantastic, flashy performer.

[But he doesn't understand what's great about a back room. AT least not until they're in a-- path?

His eyes are drawn to the water, to everything around them. His eyes widen up at the sight of it all.]

What-- [He doesn't even seem to hear the idiot comment while he's marveling at all of this.]

Wait, is this yours?

Now you're catching on.

[ Nami looks smug as she leads him down the walkway and through the main entrance into the sprawling suite beyond, the beach and "ocean" the place came with visible beyond massive windows situated on the far side of the main entrance. ]

Not bad, huh?

Yeah--

[It's probably no surprise that the first thing Buggy walks to? Is the window to see the "ocean". He can't even be an ass for a moment -- too taken with the view. Don't worry though -- he'll remember himself in a minute or two.]

This place really goes all out when it likes you, huh?

This place doesn't like anybody. [ It's just trying to suck them all dry, she thinks, but doesn't add.

Instead, Nami comes up behind him, reaching past where Buggy stands to push open one of the doors leading onto the beach. ]

It's fake. [ Which is how she knows she's right about the being liked by this place thing. ] But it's better than my old room.

Oh, it likes something. [From them, but who knows what, right? Luffy's shared bizarre theories and he's got some of his own, but...

Right now? He's happy to focus on the beach. It feels real enough, at least.]

I'll say. Man, they know how to upgrade around here, huh?

[ He's right, but she rolls her eyes anyway, the long spent exasperation at their situation momentarily rising enough to make her scowl. ]

You wanna see inside too, or is this enough for you?

[ Truthfully, the fake outdoor portion of her new digs would have been enough for Nami too, but– ]

You can see the water from my bed too, if you make it that far.

[He looks away from the water and offers up a grin.]

Oh, I definitely want the full tour. And is that an invitation?

[Because he can certainly make an effort to make it to her bed.]

It is if you make it one.

[ She smirks, head tilting to the side slowly, playing at throwing down a gauntlet she's all but certain he'll take her up on, before gently pushing at his arm and showing him inside. ]

I should be more pissed off that this place figured me out, but after the months of bullshit, I'm happy they knew what to stock the bar with.

[ And still majorly creeped out about how much the house seems to know, but she's not going to think about that right now. ]

This place is amazing...

[He has to admit it, begrudgingly. It's lavish and full of surprises he's not expecting. Befitting the lass, honestly.

It is majorly creepy though, how they manage to pull it off.]

Now if only they gave us a boat to sail away...

Good thing you know how to skip the elevator.

[ It only works when she's there with her watch making it work, the secret passage can get him up here any time he likes. Handy, and better than his floor by leagues, she knows. ]

Don't I wish. [ The thought of a boat and a way to escape is enough to make her heart leap, actually, not that she shows it in the tired way she shakes her head at him. ]

You're gonna have to settle for the bar, the pool, and whatever I end up doing to you.

[There's a sly smile at that. They'd all rather be on the seas again, back home, but--

He supposes this isn't bad. The company makes it bearable at the moment at least.

There's a short chuckle as he moves to slide his arm to her waist.]

Yeah? And what excitement do you have planned for me tonight, Nami?

What? [ He doesn't have cat ears anymore, but Nami still reaches up to gently pull at the ends of his hair, smirking at him as she scoffs incredulously. ] You don't trust me enough to be surprised?

[ Dropping the facade of dubiousness as she leans in, Nami tugs his earlobe gently with her teeth, whispering against his skin when she speaks again. ] Maybe I'm just trying to figure out where to fuck you first. Ever think of that?

[There's a huff when she pulls his hair, making a face.] Hey! I never said--

[The nip has him pausing though, finally a twitch of a smile coming to his lips.]

Well, I think that should be your choice...

[ Smirking back at him, she raises her eyebrows slowly, head tilting as she does her best impression of someone thinking heavily about something. ]

Come on, I've got a balcony you could be bending me over.

[ Nami grabs Buggy's hand, turning to head through the room they're already in, into a more sparsely furnished one that features wall-to-wall maps of their world, and others too. Pressing her watch to the corner of one especially large frame, it slides to the side, revealing a secondary, more private suite of rooms, and a sprawling view of the ocean from an exposed sitting room. ]

I bet you're gonna find reasons to fuck me more often, now you see my cool room.

Wait, you've got a balcony?

[What the hell-- she's got everything. He might squat in here and never leave until she physically chases him out...

His eyes widen a bit at the sight of the ocean, grinning a little bit.]

I already would fuck you wherever and however often you wanted, but-- you might not get me out of here any time soon.

[He flashes a teasing look.]

Sure I can make it worth your while though.

I've got a lot more than a balcony.

[ The space they enter into might as well be a balcony itself, given the natural exposure, where the apparent stone is missing. ]

And, I didn't show you the way up here if I didn't think you were gonna use it.

[ She keeps the show of kindness aspect of this out of it, narrowing her eyes at the look he gives her instead. ]

Wow--

[Not for the first time, Buggy finds himself impressed with the sheer luxury of this place.

It might be fake, a lot of it, but it's nice to be high up in the food chain around here, huh?

His eyes drift from Nami's to the space they're in, before he gives an easy grin.]

I'm gonna owe you one, Orange. [And maybe part of him thinks he should remind her how stupid it is to trust him with anything -- he's not a good man after all. He's downright awful.

But mostly, he's too selfish to do that.

So instead, he just takes a step closer, sliding a hand to her hip and pulling her in.]

But we should definitely enjoy all this tonight, hm?

Just don't wreck the place, okay?

[ He doesn't need to remind her, she knows, but that doesn't detract from the fact that the two of them, and Shanks, are still stuck here, and while sharing a world wouldn't matter if they were back in their own world, here in the casino, it does. At least to Nami.

Moving easily when he pulls her in, she smirks at his appraisal of the situation and shifts close enough to situate her body comfortably against his side. ]

You can make it up to me and enjoy yourself at the same time, you know. [ Nami raises her eyebrows, staying close as she leads him further into her rooms. ]

This definitely gets me the princess treatment, I think.

Don't worry!

[... Probably. He wouldn't intentionally wreck the place, at the very least.]

Mm, I suppose I can.

[He follows her a little, lips curling up as he watches her walk.]

And what was the Princess thinking of?

[ That's exactly what someone who would do something worrying would say. Trust her, she knows. Her back is to him as she walks ahead, so Buggy misses the way she rolls her eyes. ]

The princess wants you filling her like you did that afternoon at the wall. [ She says over her shoulder, smirking. ]

Well, maybe I'll let you use your cock too.

Oh, maybe, hm?

[He laughs a little to himself. Please -- he is hardly opposed to any of that.]

Maybe I'll let you use my cock. It'd be a nice show, I bet...

A show?

[ Nami's eyebrows raise slowly. ]

Are you asking for a performance? Do you want to watch me use your cock?

Maybe I do...

[He grins despite himself, tipping his chin up.]

Why? Is the princess feeling too shy for a show?
