You are totally worthy. It just looks complicated and you're new at it.

[She gives Koala's shoulder a gentle squeeze.] But you need a break. Would you mind showing me where the kitchen is?

[She already knows, but it's easier to pull Koala away, she thinks, if she just asks for help.]

[scrubscrub]

[Despite the obvious need for a nap or three, she hops up to her feet, rejuvenated.]

Of course I can! Just this way. Would you like me to make you some — something nice to drink?

[Clearly, she likes having a task she can accomplish.]

[mikangirl]

Mmm, some other time maybe! I thought I'd make you a drink instead. I need a guinea pig to help me taste something new. You up for it?

[Spoilers it's the space alien equivalent of cocoa]

A drink? [And Nami's offering to make it? She bites back the urge to tell her not to, that she could do it, surely! Instead she gives a hesitant nod.] I would like that. I'm very good at being a guinea pig!

[mikangirl]

[Wince. Koala you just like to drive home all those painful things, don't you. But after a moment, she holds out a hand.] All right, then. Lead away.
