[Nami's had quite enough of sleeping. It's kind of disconcerting to be told it's now September, and it doesn't help that she's spent the time since Ling's rude wake-up call still sleeping most of her day away. So tired, all the time. Prone to falling asleep mid-shower, and that is annoying, to say the least.

Oh, well. A week has gone past and she can finally get through most of the day with no problems, so Nami takes advantage of the fact that there is no Chopper to tell her otherwise (and no Katara or Law at the house at the time) to sneak up to the orchard and see how it's fared in her near-two-month absence.

...huh. Been hot lately, she sees. And a lot less mikan up here than she was expecting. Nothing too alarming, and the place seems okay otherwise, pinwheels and all. Someone even fixed her cottage door, lookit that.

Welp. Observant villagers might see the low-lying rainclouds to the northeast of the village, a tiny little storm that barely covers an acre. It's too hot today anyway, may as well take advantage of the fact that she can cheat.]

[Voice]

Thanks, whoever fixed my door. Did you take some of the fruit as payment or should I blame someone else for that?

[Tell her what she's missed, Luceti.]

[There's a thick, irritated noise at the mention of the refugees - he hasn't forgotten what some of the damn shitheads did to Raine, either - but manages to brush over it without comment.]

Fine, so far. [He offers up the information with slight reluctance] I'm down a few shitty workers, and Sayo-san is still... [Er. A pause, as he isn't sure Nami ever found out about that mishap]

[action]

[mikangirl]

[Judging by the sudden stilling of her hands, Nami hasn't, no. She glances up at him.] What about Sayo?

[action]

[concasse]

[Sanji winces slightly, and rubs at the junction where his shoulder connects to his neck. How to begin explaining this?]

... The Malnosso gave her back some memories. [The silent statement underneath that one is clearly, "And then all hell broke loose."] Sayo-san started forgetting a lot, more than usual... she could barely do her job, and looked so damn tired all the time. When I caught her in the kitchen... [His stare drops to the counter] She just fell to shitty pieces.

I had to take her to the clinic; poor thing completely passed out.

[action]

[mikangirl]

[... but wouldn't that be a good thing? Obviously not in this case, but--]

What kind of memories?

[action]

[concasse]

The shitty asshole she was married to left her and her kid, after they'd been waiting for him to come back.

[His tone is so very flat]

[action]

[mikangirl]

[...]

That's horrible. She was so...

[Oh, Sayo.]

What's his name? The husband. Do you know?

[action]

[concasse]

[He shakes his head]

No, that part she never told me.

[action]

[mikangirl]

Pity. I was kinda hoping he'd turn up here so I could punch him in the face.

...is she still in the clinic?
