[It's conspicuous, yes, and dinner turns into an awkward experience when Nami doesn't come eat with the rest of them. Sanji keeps up appearances by pretending not to be surprised - and he isn't, frankly. Luffy forgave him because that's always been his captain's way. The rest of the crew hadn't been present during Sanji's unforgivable act.
And even if they had been around to witness their chef metaphorically spitting in their faces? Chopper is still too young and naive to hate him. Brook, too aged and wise. Even though they deserve an apology, it's not those two who need to hear it the most.
Don't tangle yourself in a woman's fury, he can hear Zeff chide him from across the sea. They'll either strangle you or trick you into doing it yourself.
Tch. And if he's hearing that shitty excuse for wisdom in his head, sleep won't be coming anytime soon. That's become the norm this past week, how often he forgoes a full night's rest for brooding. Returning to Sunny hasn't helped him kick the habit, either, and thus he slips out of bed and walks the familiar trek for the kitchen, to brew up some coffee and wallow in equal helpings of caffeine and self-pity.
-- So of course that's where he finds her. With Nami's back still turned, Sanji rubs a hand over his face and tries not to choke on his own guilt. Yeah, he can't say he's surprised; she'd be hungry after missing dinner, specifically to miss seeing him.
All the more reason he needs to slip back out, unsighted, if it will mean the woman can eat in peace.
