Love does not hurt.

[cartographie]

Maybe not from this particular place, but, love can hurt.

[downswing]

You speak of not loving well. Not of love.

[cartographie]

I'm trying not to speak of love, I'm trying to speak of how to fix this so love isn't a thing.

[downswing]

How to stifle affection?

[cartographie]

Exactly. How?

[downswing]

Suicide.

[cartographie]

You're such a drama queen.

[downswing]

The sickness lacks cure.

[cartographie]

But, we forget everything when we go home right? So as long as I don't do anything else until we get to a beacon, it's fine, right?

[downswing]

You do not appear fine.

[cartographie]

Would you be fine?

[ As he pointed out, she loves the stupid. ]

[downswing]

I would not be so cowardly.

[cartographie]

It's not that simple. He feels that way about the whole crew.

[ Did Luffy explicitly point out that he was talking about Nami and not the whole crew at one point? Yes. Is she ignoring this because she's a big ol' coward? Also yes. ]

[downswing]

To retain silence over emotion is not to chokehold it.

[cartographie]

So be casual? Got it.

[downswing]

'Casual'?

[cartographie]

You know, act like nothing's wrong.

[downswing]

You seek counsel to ignore.

[cartographie]

It's not the worst thing to be a coward you know.

[downswing]

You may be forgiven, a coward in battle or before your greatest wish.

Not before yourself.

[cartographie]

But he never needed to know.

[downswing]

And yet he does.

[cartographie]

Yeah. Yeah.

I'm going to go find a drink. Thanks for the advice Wangji.

[downswing]

Fair fortune.
