[ Shanks nods his head, feeling the emptiness and lack of his crew, as well. The food is good, here, but it's not Lucky Roux's, and the booze never hits right. He was a little more pleased at getting to see Luffy again, and he won't deny this chance to be with Buggy and get to know Nami better - will never turn down the chance to meet and get to know new people - but bereft is a good word for the feeling that chases him down when he's not on his guard. ]
[ He empathizes easily with that position Nami and Sanji are in. For now, the least he can do is reunite them. ]
[ Owe him? Nonsense. Shanks lifts his hand to wave off the very idea, but starts to smirk, even as he does. ] Not at all.
