[Vivi can feel some of that tension in Nami's embrace, though only faintly, and she probably wouldn't have made note of it at all--except it reminds her of the state Nami was in when she entered. At the time she'd been too shocked at seeing Nami at all to recognize the signs of her high emotion. She seems calmer now, but what had that been about? Anger at the Malnosso for pulling her back here yet again?]
[She doesn't break the hug, but loosens her arms a little, angling her head to try and see Nami's face--not very successfully in this position.] Did something happen? [The question is carefully vague; even Vivi's not quite sure what she's asking after, but just moments earlier, Nami had clearly been upset. And the next question tumbles out immediately before Nami has a chance to answer the first:]
How long was it this time? [Strange how this was almost becoming a routine here.]
