no  need  to  thank  me!  i  mean  if  it  wasn't  for  you,   i  would've  been  the  one  injured.   so  really,  thank  YOU.   [   smiling  at  the  other,   koby  didn't  mind  the  silence  at  all.   it  didn't  take  long  for  him  to  disinfect  the  wound  before  he  began  wrapping  it,  making  sure  to  do  so  gently.   ]   andd..   there.   should  be  good  to  go  now.

                (    immediately    yukito    tensed    up    next    to    koby,    feeling    an    unfamiliar    warmth    grow    across    his    usually    cold    cheeks.    he    tried    to    ease    himself,    but    refused    to    make    eye    contact    with    the    other    now.    )    ..    alright    then.    thank    you.

was  going  to,  but  you  did  seem  hurt  on  our  way  back  here.  [  a  moment  of  silence  hung  in  the  air  until  he  shook  his  head  with  a  sigh,  sitting  by  the  other  with  a  first  aid  kit  already  in  his  hands.  ]  it'll  be  troublesome  for  you.  here,  let  me.

[   he  couldn't  stop  the  growing  grin,  nodding  in  relief.   ]   trust  me,  you  won't.  he's  probably  just  lost  or  something,   since  he's  alone.  give  me  a  minute  or  two  while  i  talk  to  him,   will  you?

                (    yukito    stared    at    koby    for    a    long    silent    moment,    debating    if    he    should    listen    to    the    marine    or    not.    eventually,    a    deep    sigh    of    defeat    was    let    out    and    he    shook    his    head.    )    i    better    not    regret    this    later.

if  there's  anyone  i  can  trust  with  my  life,  it's  luffy.  he  wouldn't  hurt  us,  i  promise.  not  all  pirates  are  bad.

ah,    alright  then!   sorry  for  doubting  it,   i  just  wasn't  quite  sure  where  we  got  the  map  from.  so  where  to  now?   i  wasn't  told  any  details  of  the  mission  beforehand,   so   i   am  kind  of  lost  on  what  we're  supposed  to  be  doing  here...

@marineiyu.
                of    course    it's    reliable!—    (    he    pauses    for    a    moment    after    his    outburst,    sighing    out    and    looking    away    in    embarrassment.    )    listen..    this    map    was    made    by    an    old    friend    of    mine,    and    he    was    one    of    the    greatest    navigators    i    knew,    so    therefore    it    can't    be    wrong.

are  you  sure?   i  mean,   absolutely  certain?   i  mean..   i  just  don't  know  how  /reliable/  this  map  is.
