[If she's going to head into the kitchen right after trial, Flayn will find Sanji had beaten her to it, though his movements about the kitchen are sluggish and muted.
No... please, carry on. I did not mean to interrupt.
[If he needs to keep his hands and mind busy, the last thing she wants is to make him be idle. The thoughts they all must be thinking are sure to be dark.]
...but, could I help? I suppose I could... use something to do with my hands and mind as well.
[The sound of the chopping is soothing to him. A familiar, steady noise. Tension in his shoulders slowly eases out as he focuses on the broth as promised, though eventually he murmurs:]
How you faring, Flayn-chan?
[Did he ask her that? Well, now he's asking asking, as he keeps his eyes on his work]
It's possible that she doesn't hear him over the sound of the chopping - but a moment later, she shakes her head, keeping her gaze focused on the vegetables she's cutting.]
...not well, if I am being honest. But I am sure the same can be said for us all. What happened today was...
Although... it is nice, in some ways, that we are told if we voted correctly or not. We received no such indication on the island. [...] Had this happened there, I am not sure if we would have realized that we made a mistake.

...ah. Someone is here already.]
Sanji...

[Moving out of the way automatically, a smile stamped on his face]
Forgive me. Do you need the kitchen? You can take over, of course!
no subject
[Please don't get out of the way on her account!!]
I can wait. I do not have much of an appetite, at any rate.
no subject
[The smile remains, but it settles awkwardly on his face]
Just... stress cooking, I suppose? Good to keep the hands and mind busy. So if you need anything, lemme know. I can step aside.

It's nothing major -- just a simple stew. But it'd help if you could cut up some of the vegetables while I get the broth going.]
no subject
[...time to get started on the vegetables! She goes very slowly, so as to make sure the vegetables are cut evenly.]

[Her voice trails off.]
It was terrible.

[A simple hum of acknowledgement, since... she's not wrong. No one enjoyed trial.]
... I told him his mouth would get him in trouble.

[Immediate agreement there. Sanji grabs a large ladle and begins stirring his broth]
Even if that's the reality we live in.

Or hell, maybe he was just unlucky and got framed on accident.
no subject
...on accident? Do you think that is likely...?
no subject
[A sigh. Since he's just stirring, Sanji doesn't stop moving, even as his gaze remains on the foo]
But shit -- I have no idea. You could make an equally sound argument that he pissed someone off and so they found a way to get rid of him.

no subject
[Well shit. Sanji turns his head to look at her after all, clearly stunned]
You guys didn't know for certain? What the hell...

The voice never confirmed anyone's guilt - it only told us who had received the largest number of votes.
