[ There's an appreciation when Zoro doesn't push back and accepts, at least in part, what he's saying. But at his follow-up question, he tries not to think about how he wishes she'd hurry back to them, wishes she'd slip through the door and back into their arms. ]
she's gone a while without replying, yeah. i don't think she's ignoring us, you know? she's just busy.
[ Those words are easier said than felt, though, because there's no denying that he feels her absence, just like he always does when she's away. ]
aside from nami?
there's this, um, woman here named hilda. she's gorgeous and charming and funny and warm and wonderful. i met her pretty quick after i showed up here and... i care about her a lot, you know? so does nami. and she's got a spot in my heart just like nami does.
i adore them both, so damn much. but i don't think there's anything wrong with that, yeah? who's to say you can only feel that way about one person.
[ It's funny. It's only been a couple of months since the last time Zoro asked about his love life, but it's so much easier to answer now. ]
