Prompt: “Signs”

                                           

           

Nico Robin had always considered herself an intelligent person and one particularly adept at reading. People, words, situations. They all lay themselves open to her reasoning. Very rarely did a sequence of events unfold in a way that she did not anticipate. It was not until her encounters with the Strawhat Pirates did she meet a group that so regularly managed to surprise her.

            She should have known that they would not abandon her when she left them. That they would keep following her until they knew the truth behind her actions. When Longnose-kun, Cook-san, and even Cyborg-san tried to convince her to leave the train, she should have known that they would not simply accept her no as an answer. Really, the extent they were willing to go to in the end should not have surprised her.

            After all she had done to discourage them, she should have understood the signs that this group of people would not give up. She had never been so grateful to be wrong in her life.

This is quite neat, contrasting Robin's usual perspicacity with her inability to realise the depth of her crewmates' devotion until it was undeniable! And very succinct and IC, too. Thank you for writing and sharing!
