Ah yes, Linn makes sure every patient can see the little gifts she owns :)

Cavendish: *gives the princess's hand a soft kiss, and hands her a rose*

(mixedxbrew)

Oh my! What a lovely man kissed her hand! Vivi couldn't stop looking at his face. He was glowing more than she was. Literally, it was amazing. Especially when she got the rose. A true gentleman.

"Thank you so much! You get a royal blessing. I didn't even expect to see someone like that."

[medicus-felini]

It is hard for her to not take him for granted. The captain speaks very confidently of himself, and if the Strawhat himself has him as an ally, how could he be anything less than popular? Certainly, the blonde young man would make for a pleasant change from the usual trouble on the Punk. A civilized conversation, a nice glass of beverage...

❝ Oh, you can just call me Linn. I am not a royal or anything! ❞ a bashful look to the side. Was that normal for humans? Does he think she is that special? Linn would have to find out when they are in private.

❝ I will reach out to you, Mr. Cavendish. This invitation is more than honorable in my book. ❞ That being said, her head lowers in a nice and polite bow while snow-white ears twitch ever so slightly. Maybe the lecture she will have to face sooner or later will be worth it after all.

A score for Cavendish. He knew his boss wouldn't mind him bringing a rival crew member on board for a drink. But, at the same time, he didn't want her to feel uncomfortable. He wanted her to enjoy herself without worrying. They were just going to be two beautiful people getting to know one another over a few drinks. He had no ill will, and no bad intentions towards the young woman. She was intriguing, and he wanted to know even more about her. And, the fact she was even on Eustass' crew was a huge surprise, and made his curiosity grow.

"Oh, it's definitely true, fair lady Linn. I have no reason to lie about such things. Strawhat Luffy chose me for my skills, loyalty and popularity. He's a fan of mine, you see."

Cavendish might be a bit delusional in thinking that his boss chose him, and put his trust in him, due to popularity, but that was neither here nor there. Luffy could be both his boss and his fan. The two weren't mutually exclusive in Cavendish's eyes.

Oh, these light, feline orbits never fail to betray her intentions, ever. A quick, abrupt startle as the blonde begins to call out her staring. What could she possibly do anyway? Minks tend to slip into their primal urges every once in a while. The fluff looks very inviting, in her defense.

❝ Truly, very beautiful... May I...? ❞ tenderly, Linn's fingers reach up to the soft bundle of fuzz, featherlike in its appearance. The texture tickles the pink paw pads on the doctor's fingertips. A satisfied purr vibrates in Linn's throat as she strokes gently over his hat, losing herself a bit in that distraction.

Sapphire eyes wander to the arm, gently offered and just beckoning for her to take it. This man is so charming, it almost seems like he is playing a role of some kind, but that matter would not interest her, even if he were. Just to live in this little dream for some hours, enjoy the ambience, the talking, the company. Linn's arm hooks into Cavendish's, the other hand coming up to rest on the prince's upper arm, all while the girl fights with the color on her face.

❝ You are too generous. I am your guest. But if you insist, maybe we can sit down somewhere? Have a talk? There must be so much yet to be revealed about the name Cavendish, no? ❞ The corners of her lips tugged up in a soft smile. Being so close to the captain makes her realize how amazing his appearance is. This golden hair, gently falling over his shoulders, skin as pale as porcelain. There must be a catch.

❝ Mr. Cavendish, would it be too bold to ask a question? There is no way you do not have a princess on your side. Or a prince? ❞ This flattery had real intent. Linn just could not believe this guy was single. The fact alone that she was getting invited for a drink on his ship? Crazy. Nearly unreal, in her opinion. But a girl can dream. Can't she?

[medicus-felini]

The mink nods along as Cavendish recalls her captain's acquisitions, he really made a name for himself, her tail dances softly in admiration. However, at the thought of the new face being a rival, Linn's expression turns somewhat nervous and unsure. Oh, how her captain would kill her if he knew she was making friends with the enemy again. But there wouldn't be a problem if this whole thing were Platonic, right?

Linn's cheeks begin to blush, hands come up to her face, trying to hide her excitement. No, this was not a situation she should look forward to. The doctor should refuse this bold invitation. As he said, they are rivals!

❝ Yes, I would love to! ❞ Words stumble out of her mouth almost unconsciously. Her tongue should have been cursed for answering so quickly. But the damage was done. Might as well go with it.

❝ Maybe not on my captain's ship, if it is true that you are the captain of Mugiwara's first grand fleet. Kid would most likely not approve. ❞ That man would most likely try to make a trophy out of this handsome man's head.

Upon hearing that the young Mink didn't know much about him, his heart stopped for a brief second, but he managed to pull himself together rather quickly. Well, at least she knew about him now. That was the most important thing!

"I'm a pirate. Captain of Strawhat Luffy's First ship Grand Fleet!" He took great pride in it, especially after God Usopp had saved him, and he has since pledged his loyalty to Luffy and the other Strawhats, which included their allies as well.

At the mention of Eustass Kid, though, his face faltered some. "Eustass Kid of the South Blue, a member of the Worst Generation. I've certainly heard of him." In fact, that brute's popularity was growing more than his own, and it upset him quite a bit. "My boss and yours are rivals, it seems." He focused his thoughts back to the young woman. "Linn is a very beautiful name. Might I invite you to share a drink sometime?"

[medicus-felini]

The woman is barely able to get her hands off the fluff, it calls for her, begging for her hands to caress and play with it. Humming in satisfaction, the mink turns her head politely to the man, gaze briefly falling upon his pretty eyes, his charming lashes.

❝ Cavendish? ❞ As if trying to taste the name on her tongue, Linn echoes it. Maybe she did hear about him. But it does not ring a bell for now. ❝ I'm afraid I know very little about you. Are you a pirate? A civilian? ❞

Fluffy white ears perked up, the cat mink almost forgot his question. ❝ Oh, my name is Linn. I am a doctor on the Victoria Punk, Eustass Kid's ship. He is a great man. You might have heard about him. He is a big deal! ❞ the woman proclaims proudly.

A soft smile appeared on the corners of his mouth as he realized how happy the Mink woman seemed. First, she had complimented his hair. Now, she had complimented his hat! And, she didn't seem to be annoyed by his ego. He found her appealing. She was quite cute, with her fur, and paws. He hadn't met someone like her before. She was rather unique.

So, Cavendish didn't mind whenever the young woman touched his hat. "Might I ask your name, fair lady? I'm sure you've heard of mine. My name is Cavendish." He was a rising star, a Captain of a Yonko's first ship grand fleet. And, he'd love to get to know more about her.

[medicus-felini]

❝ We can certainly go and talk in private. I would like that. ❞ Linn nods along, letting him lead the pair through his ship's environment. Calm steps from both Cavendish and the mink as their feet steadily make their way to a place more out of earshot of anyone. The lady tried to start with some kind of small talk while on their way, although she was never really that great with it.

❝ A princess it is? What is with this green-haired man I see in different media every now and again? ❞ she asked, oblivious to the fact that the relationship between the prince and Bartolomeo is nothing close to what the media displays. Her gaze goes briefly up as if to try to gauge the first reaction to her comment. All the doctor did was get a better idea in these last days, before visiting a stranger on his own ship. The occasional stumble over fan art or rumors was something that was not easily ignored.

Not wanting to be in trouble, if Cavendish had any affairs, she did not want to intertwine. Some people can get quite jealous, even if they are not in a committed relationship. Thrown off by a bigger door with white and golden accents, Linn's attention is on another topic. ❝ Oh, what is this room? ❞ As if this girl did not just blatantly ask if he had something going on with The Cannibal himself.

🥀 Cavendish was thrilled. His heart fluttering as she accepted his arm, and put her hand on him. She flattered him too much. It felt like a dream. She wanted to know more about him? He could talk for hours about himself, his stardom, his destiny, his hopes and dreams, his background. But, he wanted to learn more about her as well. What was such a sweet and wonderful woman doing with a brute like Eustaes Kid anyways? It made him seethe a bit. She deserved much better! But ..she seemed proud of her Captain....and, that's what ultimately mattered. He knew better than to overstep his boundaries.

"You are, indeed, my guest, which is why I'm letting you make the decisions. If you wish to talk privately, we definitely can. Just choose where, my dearest Linn." The fact she was laying it on thick with the flattery made him want to make sure she had a good time even more.

She definitely had his heart. A cute woman who was smart, and who praised him was certainly a blessing from the heavens. He gave a slight chuckle at her question. "I don't have a princess or prince at my side. But, I'd much rather have a princess." Cavendish refused to just simply settle, and, so far, the only person he found worthy of being around him in a romantic setting to that degree was....well, himself.
