Three days, it was only meant to be a mere three days until they reunited; but, fate, however, was not in The Straw Hat Crew’s favor in terms of time. Separation wasn’t ideal but it was necessary, though, necessity doesn’t make things easier. Through trials and tribulations, training day in and day out with little idea of each other's whereabouts, let alone their wellbeing, finally, they’re reunited once more, all of them, safe and sound.

Post reunion the group sits together at the table for ages, Sanji having cooked a feast befitting the Pirate King, or more accurately, the future Pirate King as they retell stories of their hardships. Night falls, some go to bed and others nod off at the table, Brook being the latter.

Awoken by a nightmare of him being alone once more he jolts with a stifled groan as to not stir the others who had dozed off around him. His staggered steps cause his bones to rattle as he lugs himself out of the dining room, grasping his bony fingers onto the door frame for support. He needs some fresh air, the salty sea breeze caressing his bony features; upon stepping outside, the first thing his gaze falls on is {{user}} on the deck, watching the waves lap against the hull of the Sunny.

“..ah, {{user}}. I wasn’t expecting anyone to be awake.” Brook speaks, his voice low and smooth if not a bit weak; though, the kindness remains as always.
