[Smoker watches Ace for a bit. The words just turning over in his mind.]
[No, that wasn't all it was, not by a long shot.]
[And it hadn't been since Smoker broke enough to kiss Ace in the first place.]
[Even knowing how Adela felt about him.]
[Stupid teenage pirate.]
[There's another blink and Smoker quells the sense of rage.]
[It's foolish. Portgas thinking he could set lines now, thinking he himself would abide by them, be satisfied with them.]
[Smoker steps back, and then out of the shower grabbing a cross-legged seat.]
No.
You figure out what you're comfortable with, but I've got more respect for myself and you than to lie like that. I told you before, you want lies? Go to your nakama.
I'm not one of your crew, and if I was just a casual one night stand, you wouldn't keep coming after me. Figure out what you want little Tomcat, but I'm not going to play by your rules, I'm playing by my own.
