Rather than say anything in response to her compliment, Sanji just gives her a pleased little grin, basking a little in it. It’s good to be appreciated, if nothing else, and leaves him feeling a little less awkward for falling in the first place.
Once they’re both on their feet, though, his smile dims a bit so he can check where they’re at.
”Ah, guess you’re kinda new here?” It’s a safe assumption based on her question— and the fact that he doesn’t recall seeing her before here, too— as he quickly dusts himself off, a thoughtful frown on his face. “I don’t put much past the House, gorgeous. Using flowers to make us both have oral fixation or, hell, just ensuring we’re both too damn aroused to think are both right up it’s alley. Not much we can do about that right now.”
He’s a little blaise about it all, but Sanji prefers to tell things as they are. Better to know the truth and be able to deal with it, after all.
“We could do that, but— I dunno, if it does something that depends on how much pollen we’ve inhaled….” his voice trails off as he shakes his head, but then brightens as an idea comes to him. “Actually— I don’t think we need to bring one with us. Gimme a minute…”
As gorgeous as they are, he doesn’t even touch them, squatting down in the grass before taking a photograph of a few with his watch, then grins up at her, projecting the images into the air. “See? Don’t have to worry about touching it. Hopefully someone’ll know what these are and what crazy crap they’re gonna pull.”
A heartbeat later and he’s giving her a little bow, offering her his elbow. “C’mon, let’s find out way back to wherever there’s someone who knows a few things about these flowers.”
