[ gonna sit down and also sip on some grape juice ]

Did you ask the directors about Taako?

[ he figures they probably can't say but.... just in case ]

[ruffboi]

I can't really say.

[Rubbing his jaw.]

Not my place, I guess? But, you know. It's Taako. He's not throwing in the towel easily.

[slobjection]

Yeah.... he probably has something up his sleeve.

[ he's still worried but you know. ]

Can I ask you anything about that night? Without you getting in trouble for it?

[ruffboi]

Sure, you can ask whatever you want. But, first things first, you should ask me whether or not I killed him, right?

[slobjection]

Did you?

[ruffboi]

Nope. I'm innocent.

[This is quite a case for Phoenix Wright!]

[slobjection]

Hm... Well, this is all purely hypothetical, but in theory, how would you have figured out Sanji's extra role?

[ruffboi]

[Still smiling at him a little, shrugging. How do you like it, Nick.]

Woof. That's a tough one, huh? Beats me.

[But. He knows this is probably about Zenitsu, so he'll try a little harder.]

I know some people have been getting notes or something about dead people.

[ they do say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery..... magnus obviously loves and admires him ]

I'd work on your mysterious lines, a little.

[ stuff is things was better!! ]

I did hear a little about that. More about Shinobu than Sanji or anything else, though.

[ruffboi]

Yeah. Sanji's a tough one, right? But the info must've come from somewhere.

[Looking at him, careful.]

Did you know Sanji at all? Good guy. He and Taako were always on each others' cases, but I liked him. But it's like Yasusada said - he was pretty cagey about sharing stuff. He agreed to swap teams with me when I asked, but didn't wanna share anything else.

[slobjection]

Talked to him a few times..... was a scratching post for Nami. [ that's pretty normal though. for him. ] Seemed like he had a pretty level head.... and prior experience with numbers and teams.

Having an extra role... not the kind of thing someone would share with anyone, right? Suspect there'd be consequences if he did. ... On top of him being cagey.

[ruffboi]

Yeah, that tracks to me, too. I can't see him offering something like that up freely.
