You woke up to the stale smell of disinfectant and bandages, the scent already telling you that you were in some sort of infirmary.
"Crap," you hissed, looking down at yourself.
You sat up and swung your legs over to the side of the bed, allowing yourself to get up and walk out the building, the idea of shoes being pushed far back in your memory.

The night was warm and when you made it to the town square, you could only smile, as everyone was passed out, sleepy grins on everyone's faces.
You walked over to a sake stand to see Sanji sitting propped up against a wall, sleeping happily with about three women under him.
You lightly snickered and grabbed a big sake bottle, turning around to take a walk.
The moon was beautifully full, its brilliant light bathing the whole town.
You smiled to yourself as you popped the cork of the bottle, taking a big swig as you continued down the main road.
"Finally woke up?" a familiar voice asked.
Your breath hitched and you quickly turned to where the voice came from, only to see Zoro in an alley, sitting on a bench with a candle stand illuminating half of his face.
You took a breath of relief and walked over, sitting on the floor across from him.
The two of you sat there in silence for a few minutes, taking swigs of your respective bottles, when he spoke up again.
"How did you heal so quickly?" he started, his tone serious as he turned to look up at the moon.
The air caught in your throat.
'Crap! Came straight out the gate with it.'
He noticed your hesitation and sighed, crossing his arms.
"If you don't wanna tell me, you don't have to. But just know that people'll start becoming suspicious if one minute you look an inch from death and the next you're the image of perfect health."
"I know that," you snappily answered, gripping the fabric of your skirt tight.
He cocked a brow at your sudden change in tone.
"Believe me, I know that more than you will ever realize. My entire life has revolved around the fact that I can do what I can do. But I made a promise to someone that I wouldn't let anyone use my power for their gain."
You looked down at your lap, unable to bare his eye contact for a second more.
He was staring into your soul, so intensely that it was as if he could see into you, and maybe even a little past that.
