[ With a little guidance from Weiss, it’s easy to get through learning the basics of how to use the Watch. It definitely isn’t natural to Sanji— he’ll need to sink more time into practicing with it and make a deliberate effort to use it before it just feels like something he knows to do— but he’s got enough skill to at least use it for a few things. ]

But only new people, yeah? Meaning don’t get used to this treatment. [ It makes a certain amount of sense, really, if the House wants them to make as little of a fuss as possible.

The warmth seeps into the pit of his gut, pooling there, and that urge almost starts to feel like an itch. ]

I— yeah. Yeah, I am. Sorry Weiss. [ His voice is quiet— almost apologetic, even though they both know it’s not really anyone’s fault but the casino’s— as he turns to look at her, pointedly only meeting her gaze and refusing to let his eyes go any lower. ]

If you wanna wait down here, I bet I can relieve myself upstairs. [ It’s awkward to say that, but, well, the beating of his heart is starting to come on faster, now, and with it, an ache is starting to build between his legs. ]
