Period

Notes:
Enjoy my crack; I actually had the worst week, and colds aren't helping.
Zoro leaned back against the railing of the ship, watching as Robin continued to pace back and forth. He could see the frustration etched on her face, and he knew that she needed someone to talk to.
"Robin, is there anything I can do to help you right now?" he asked, his voice low and sympathetic.
Robin hesitated for a moment, unsure if she wanted to open up to Zoro about her menstrual cycle. But something about his tone made her feel comfortable enough to share her thoughts.
"Honestly, Zoro, I just feel like everything is out of control right now. My emotions are all over the place, and I can't seem to focus on anything."
Zoro nodded empathetically, understanding the struggles that came with getting ambushed by the bandits. "I can imagine how difficult it must be for you right now."
As the night drew nearer, Robin sat on the deck, engrossed in her book, while Zoro dozed off beside her. The ship rocked gently with the waves, and the rustling of the trees in the distance filled the air with a calming ambiance. Zoro stirred from his nap as he felt Robin's eyes on him, her piercing gaze unsettling him.
"Robin, is everything alright? Why are you looking at me like that?"
Robin's tense voice held a hint of irritation. "Zoro, take guarding the ship more seriously. We're the only ones left to guard the Thousand Sunny, and you're sleeping on the job."
Zoro sat up, feeling the mood shift drastically. "What's going on? You were reading your book a moment ago, and now you're shouting at me."
Robin's expression softened briefly but turned to frustration again. "It's my menstrual cycle, Zoro. My emotions are all over the place, and I'm sorry if I'm taking it out on you. I just need to vent some frustration."
Zoro, perplexed, furrowed his brows. "Menstrual cycle? What's that, Robin? Are you suggesting that you're currently experiencing your period?"
Robin maintained her composure, rolling her eyes with a tinge of embarrassment. "Yes, Zoro. It's a physiological phenomenon inherent to women, occurring monthly as a natural part of our reproductive system." Her tone carried a subtle hint of amusement at his lack of understanding.
Zoro scratched his head, still trying to grasp the concept. "Hormones, cycles... Sounds complicated," he admitted, a perplexed expression on his face. "But why does it make you mad?"
Robin sighed, realizing the challenge of explaining it to someone like Zoro. "Well, Zoro, hormonal changes during the menstrual cycle can lead to mood swings, irritability, and heightened emotions. It's a natural part of the process, and sometimes it can be frustrating for women to deal with those emotions."
She continued to explain how hormones affect her, "So, it's like a battle inside you that you can't control?"
Robin smiled, appreciating his effort to understand. "Exactly, Zoro. It's a bit like a battle, and we just need a little understanding and patience from those around us during these times."
Zoro nodded slowly, starting to comprehend. "So, when it's stormy, I just need to stay out of the way?"
Robin laughed, "That might be a good idea, Zoro. And maybe offer some chocolate – it helps."
Zoro shrugged, "Chocolate? Well, I'm not a fan of them, but if that's what it takes to survive the storm, I'm in."
Robin grinned, grateful for Zoro's willingness to understand. "That's very thoughtful of you, Zoro. It's not easy for us either, but a little understanding goes a long way."
