Unexpected Reunion

"Speaking"

"Thoughts"

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

The smell of spices wafted through the kitchen as you stirred a huge pot of soup, internally grateful for your mom teaching you this recipe. Tasting some of it with a spoon, you nod to yourself that it is done. 

After seeing Luffy climb up the mountain with whom you believe two of his friends/crewmates and leaving them in the care of Dr. Kureha and Chopper. You decided to make some soup to help them all warm up when they woke. 

Usually, you wouldn't make such a large batch of soup but knowing Luffy and how hungry he would be, he would probably eat it all in less than ten seconds. So you decided to pour some of the soup into bowls for yourself and the others, then just leave the rest of the pot for Luffy.

After placing all the bowls on a platter and covering them to protect the soup from getting cold. You shugged on your coat and turned into your human form. You knew you didn't need to hide your real form from Luffy, he'd most likely think it was cool, but you were worried about the other two reactions and frankly didn't trust them. So you would put up with being uncomfortable.

Picking up the platter, you go to the room where Dr. Kureha was treating the girl. Opening the door to make your way inside, you see them arguing about something. 

"Hope I'm not interrupting anything but I brought food." Walking over and showing them the soup you made. 

Kureha Grins, "Kehehe, actually you have great timing." She grabs a bowl and pushes you beside the girl's bed. "You can watch the girl while I go do something." She walks away to do something before you can even get a word in.

"But!- sigh..." You quickly give up knowing how Kureha was and turn towards the girl to hand her a bowl. "Here you should eat something to help regain your strength. It will also help fight off the cold." Gently smiling at her.

The girl grabs the bowl with a small thanks and takes a sip. Her eyes widen before exclaiming, "This tastes amazing! Did you really make this?" Caught off guard by her reaction, you nod at her question.

"Yes, I was the one to make it, although the recipe belongs to my mother. I'm happy you enjoy the soup." You said a bit embarrassed, not expecting to get a compliment on your cooking skill. It doesn't even compare to the food your mom would make.

(First POV)

I grab my bowl, and we sit silently, enjoying our food. As we were eating I realized I never told the girl my name. Turning towards her, going to introduce myself, "Ah, by the way, my name's-" Before I could finish, the door slammed open, causing us to jump in surprise. 

Chopper runs through the door, screaming, as he's being chased by Luffy and the other patient who were saying stuff about wanting to turn him into a stew. Placing down my bowl, I stood up and went over to Kureha, who had returned from whatever she was doing. 

The three of us watched as they chased Chopper in and out of the room before they noticed that their friend was awake. Luffy stopped and backtracked to face her, quickly followed by the yellow-haired guy

"Nami, your ok?"

"Nami-san!"

"Ah, so that's her name, at least I can stop calling her 'girl' in my head. I should probably hurry tho to get the other two their food. Chopper is too cute to be turned into food." I thought to myself as the other two were talking to Nami, the yellow-haired man talked about making some venison stew for her which reminded them of what they were doing in the first place.
