[Well, it may not have sunk in immediately, but those two words do hit hard once Perona finally realizes just what Sanji said. She sucks in a deep breath and just hold it, feeling dazed and warm. Wha-What'd he just...ah. No. Just a slip of the tongue! It was so obviously a slip of the tongue! Nothing more than that...
My love.
Those words repeat themselves again and again in Perona's mind, and with each repeat, the outside word becomes farther and farther away. Reality starts to become fuzzy, replaced by a quiet place where nothing else matters but her thoughts, and the sound of her beating heart - rapid and thunderous as it is. That's why Perona doesn't answer, nor really do much about her cut just yet. She just lets it bleed and coat her fingers in red while blissfully embracing her Happy Place.
