The Princess's Swordsman

Talk To Her

Chapter 6

"How 'bout this one?" the blonde girl, who's name was Kaya, asked Robin. Robin sat on the Kaya's bed as Kaya picked out dresses from her closet. She pulled out a bright yellow party dress and placed it against Robin, "Eh, yellow isn't your color." And she put it back, "I don't think any of the clothes could fit you anyway darling. Your so tall."

"That's alright Kaya you did your best." Then, Kaya's face light up.

"No I didn't..." She disappeared into another room. Then returned with a long purple dress in her arms, "This was my aunts, she was as tall as you are. I think... so you could try this on. It's not the latest fashion, but I think you'll like it." She handed her the dress.

Kaya helped Robin put it on. Once done, Kaya stepped back to admire her new friend. She gasped, putting her hands on her mouth, "You look... perfect!" Robin looked at herself in the mirror, "Thank you for letting me borrow it."

"Of course! Now, to do something if your hair. Nothing much. It's so beautiful and long. Do you ever wear it up?" Robin nodded.

"Quite often actually." Once again, Kaya stepped back, "Hmmm..." She tried several different things, "I'm just seeing what looks best, and besides, it's not often I get to do a girl's hair."

"Gah," Zoro groaned as he took another sip of his Bink's Sake. He and Shanks were drinking out on deck, "What's taking them so long? Women... Why the hell do they spend so much time fixing themselves up? It's not like they look any..." His words drifted off. His eyes grew wide and they began to shake.

"Look any what?" asked Shanks. He adjusted his gaze in the direction Zoro was looking, "Oh..."

Kaya stepped out first. She smiled at the two young men, then allowed a beautiful young woman step out next. It was Robin. She wore a purple sleeveless dress, the skirt was white with spots. She wore huge diamond shaped earrings, and a gold necklace, with several gold bracelets on each wrist and a golden cuff on her left arm. And her hair was down and strait. She smiled at them sweetly. Her smile made the look complete.

She and Kaya walked to a table where people were laughing and chatting. As for Zoro, well, he just stayed in the same position for a whole minute!

"Wow," was all Shanks said. Eventually the swordsman sat back in his chair once again, "What are you doing?" asked Shanks, "Don't sit here. Go up and talk to her!"

"Would you keep it down?" he took a ship, "I'm not going over there."

"What!? Why? Look at her!" He gestured a hand to the table, "Let me tell ya' you don't see a woman like that everyday. Come on. I know you wanna talk to her."

"Shut up. I'm not talking to her." But Shanks wouldn't hear it.

"Give me one good reason why you shouldn't go over there and talk to her." Zoro bit his lip before saying, "Because Shanks! I'm a bounty hunter! I don't have time for love. I don't love her anyway," he stood up, taking a few steps, "And I'm a hundred perfect sure she doesn't love me! Besides... she deserves better." He walked off. He opened a door to leave the deck. It was the last place we wanted to be at the moment. But before he want inside, he took on last look at the table where she stood, laughing and having a wonderful time. Then he closed the door behind him.
