[The touch helps, a little, though at first Sanji almost flinches from the gesture, looking surprised but also soothed once Jae-Ha promises to stay put. And if it's something Sanji can help with, then...]
We've got lots of bread and fruit! [Rice, too, though that might be trickier to sneak out. His face sets with determination as he pulls back, making sure Jae-Ha is comfortable on the ground before standing.]
Just stay here, I'll be back! [Repeating it with added emphasis before the boy takes off in a blur of blond hair and blood red robes. He disappears from sight.
The Vinsmoke mansion isn't too far off if you take the cobbled path over a nearby bridge, except Sanji knows better than to use a route covered with guards. He sneaks in the back way, through a ticket of well-groomed trees that's set near the kitchens. The staff isn't surprised to see him, actually - they're all familiar with their young lord's rebellious streak, his refusal to stay out of the kitchens - but all the more reason why no one is willing to risk their necks helping him.
Sanji grabs fresh bread, fruit, a bowl of rice, and he might as well be invisible for all the attention he gathers.
He hurries back just as quickly to Jae-Ha, his heart beat not settling until he sees that the older boy has kept his promise and is just resting by the creek. Not wanting to startle the other (or simply being too excited by his success to care), Sanji calls out to signal his approach and sets down the bounty once he's close enough]
Here! I didn't know what you like so I got a bunch.
