Auber walked along the streets of North City, wearing his usual attire of a jacket and jeans, it’s become usual for him, after all, he soon learned that battle armour wasn’t exactly the most casual of outfits, perhaps that’s just his time on Earth speaking.
He entered a small and calm cafeteria, taking in the serene atmosphere, people would never believe that a Saiyan would be in these places but here he is.
He took an available seat near a window to look out of, and after making his order, did so, this single experience already made Auber remember his Namek days, years ago, when he was fighting for the Kingdom, and racing towards Dragon Balls before the Stargoons, he almost feels nostalgic of these days, were they not so dangerous.
Dangerous? Auber is considering danger a negative factor now? Earth must be changing him a lot more than he believed.
He took a sip of his recently-served coffee, one thing it has changed about him is perspective, and looking at new ones is something Auber would consider valuable.

Zhalla's PL: 52,750
Earth had changed many of Saiyans it seemed and Zhalla was sure one of them, though she had been on Earth for the majority of her life so far and had even been mistaken for being an Earthling or human in general multiple times on many occasions. It didn't bother her though or at least it didn't anymore. Nowadays her saiyan clothing was probably gathering dust in her wardrobe and was most likely three sizes too small for her now as the only remotely saiyan thing she did anymore was fights here and there when she needed to. One thing about Earth that remained her most favourite thing about it though was it's food- Though humans tended to do smaller servings- The servings themselves were always wonderful and she enjoyed whenever it was time to eat... Speaking of which! Now was probably a good time for some brunch and since she was out and about already she figured she could drop by someplace nearby and get something before heading home. Settling on a nearby cafeteria, the ginger haired saiyan would wander in wondering if maybe she should get her friend, Nero something that she could drop off to him at his workplace for lunch before then going home- But Nero already worked at a food focused place so... Was she just thinking of excuses to go see him? Zhalla shook her head to snap back and focus- almost bumping into a set out seat and table in the process. She'd pinch her nose bridge before ordering her own hot drink along with a couple of treats and snacks in a brown paper bag to take home to the kids. She decided to have the drink there though so none of the kids could try to pinch it off of her. Still though it continued to puzzle her as to why she couldn't shake the thought of that one saiyan boy, she'd met all sorts of them over the years so why did this one stick out in her mind? Speaking of saiyan boys she finally noticed there was one there in the same cafeteria as her over by a window seat. Or at least she thought they were a saiyan, if they were it was nice to see more saiyans in more relaxed situations. Speaking of- she would take up a seat herself nearby to relax for bit too, trying to still shake the thoughts from her mind on the matter. She could worry about it later. |

The young Saiyan would however never really say that Earth changed him, mellow him out a bit? Perhaps, but full on change him? Never. Auber would still feel that adrenaline when in combat just as any other Saiyan, and Earth’s humble and serene atmosphere did nothing to eliminate the more callous side of Auber. He considers this a good thing, his personality was his, and no amount of culture would switch that about him. He almost missed the woman that stared at him for a bit before sitting herself down. Near him as a matter of fact. Auber’s more paranoid state of mind warned him to keep an eye on the woman but his more logical side suppressed that paranoia, there was no reason to jump to conclusions. Glancing at the woman, he found himself unsure if he was looking at a human who’s fashion sense is on the more colourful side or if it’s another Saiyan who settles down on Earth. Regardless, Auber would attempt to strike up a conversation “I saw you looking at me earlier..” He let the revelation sink in before continuing.“Can I help you with something?”

Part of her had hoped she hadn't stared too long at the other saiyan to make him question it, the other part wouldn't be surprised if she had. Both parts however just hoped he at least didn't have a negative reaction to such.
It would seem the second part was right as she caught him looking over and soon enough he spoke up as well addressing her outright. Zhalla would put a hand behind her head at the first part though, "Ah, shit- Sorry about that, just got a lot on the mind which made me overthink and pause for a bit" She hoped and was rather sure he got what that was like, when you were deep enough in thought you sometimes forget where your eyes are even looking to.
As for the question she would wave a hand, "Oh no I'm good! Thank you though- Though I do have to say, it's nice seeing another saiyan around not in the armour and slacks like I've seen some others wear, sticks out like a sore thumb on this planet, you know?" She sure hoped she was right in assuming what his species was, but he did look the part more then she did. "Speaking of, what brings you here? If you don't mind me asking" She hadn't really planned on striking up conversations while out today, but it couldn't hurt, right?

Auber could certainly comprehend these moments, he sometimes also goes into a thoughtful silence, or as some people have called it 'daydreaming', Auber has thought about many events ever since he distracted himself on Earth, be it his Namek days with his comrades in the Kingdom, his trip to Raiti, the murder of that dragon lady, whom Auber cares not remember the name.
He looked up when she answered his question, apparently this woman, or Auber hoped from the implications at least, that she is a Saiyan as well, "Hmm." Auber hummed in both affirmation and thought, has he ever actually come into contact with another Saiyan here on Earth that has gone native? He can't remember anything specific.
"You'd also be hard-pressed to find another Saiyan that has gotten used to Earth's formal attire." He stated, referring to his own outfit, consisting of a simple suit and tie, for added show, he straightened out his tie, "Took me a while to get used to them though so I don't exactly blame the rest." After all, he believes most saiyans would actually find this restrictive compared to the armour.
Auber had to pause at her next question, what did bring him here to Earth in the first place? "I suppose I wanted a chance to get away from it all for a while and reflect." He revealed his reasoning, well, there was another thing "Well, that and explore Earth's culture, it's unique diversity is unlike any other." He took another sip of his coffee, sighing afterwards.
"What about you?" He asked in return, looking at her once more, it's been a while since he had a conversation with another Saiyan.

Zhalla seemed rather glad and somewhat relieved when it was affirmed that they were both in fact Saiyan- Though that didn't really put her at ease as there were plenty of Saiyan's she wouldn't get along with very well for multiple reasons, but at least she had guessed something right about the man.
She laughed lightly in response to the comment about earth's formal attire, it reminded her of the time she and the other Crimson Apes had tried getting Scallio a tuxedo of his own to wear and the mo-hawked saiyan didn't even know what a tux was at the time. "Hah! That's pretty true too, though I have met maybe one or two others who've pulled it off, one was a bartender though so- part of the job there I suppose" She know she for sure struggled herself with getting used to Earth's formal-wear and greatly preferred the tuxedo over any of the dresses she had tried on in the past. "Yeah, same boat here. Not really the best stuff to wear for what most of us enjoy doing afterall"
Listening to his reasoning for coming to Earth she would nod understandingly. Taking some time to have a bit of her own drink as well before then answering the same question herself. "Somewhat similar reasoning" She'd start, "Wanted to get away from the life I had at home, so I did the first chance I got and never looked back" She looked outside one of the nearby windows for a moment or two before looking back to the other Saiyan. "Though in all honesty I hadn't specifically picked Earth, I ended up here mostly by chance I suppose and just kinda stuck around because of the culture among other things" Bringing her drink back up to her mouth she would add one more comment before taking another sip, "Though I have thought about and considered going back recently to maybe see how things are there now, just haven't had to time yet, yanno?"

He raised an eyebrow at the comment about how she met a Saiyan who was working as a bartender, unexpected, he hadn't imagined there would be Saiyans who would enjoy serving drinks to the people, but to each their own he supposes, "Bartender, huh? That paints a pretty amusing image." He stated, taking another sip of his coffee.
"I do actually enjoy wearing it though, I don't understand why but it feels right, for one reason or another." He revealed, looking at her once more, who would have thought? Auber certainly wouldn't have before he started to wear the attire, but even he got bored of the armour at some point or another.
"You and I are pretty similiar on that front, I too am thinking of going back, Earth is nice, but I just feel like I've been gone for too long, I didn't exactly quit after all." He looked out the window in a thoughtful expression, wondering maybe just what he missed out on and how everyone he knew was holding up.

"Right? He's great though and seems to really love doing it" Not that she'd outright say to Dion so easily that she thought he was great though. "He somehow pulls off that tux everyday at work, it's wild" What she found more amusing though was of course his height in comparison to her own but poking buttons wasn't fun without the man himself there.
"Yeah I getcha' I know I'd take a leather jacket and some slacks over some Saiyan armour anytime- Not that there's anything wrong with the armour but I am a lot more used to earth's clothing by now" She seemed rather glad to hear Auber enjoyed wearing the clothing overall though. It was easy for her to forget that it wasn't always a simple thing to get used to for some other saiyans.
Cupping her hands around her drink once more, Zhalla look back to the other Saiyan and raise a brow quizzically, "Didn't quit?" She would pause for a moment as a thought or two crossed her mind on the possibility of him being apart of some organization or another that she didn't exactly get along with. "Sorry- I hope it's alright to ask, but what do you mean by that? Is there something back there you need to attend to still or something?" She hoped she didn't sound hesitant or cautious- She felt it but wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt to explain himself first of course, jumping to conclusions was never the right way to go about things afterall.

Auber could certainly continue to be intrigued by Saiyans who have gone native to Earth, it seems the planet had an ability to warp mindsets, as Auber would have experienced first-hand, for if someone were to tell him years ago that he would enjoy wearing Earthling outfits, Auber would have socked that person in the face.
The atmosphere however, wouldn't be remaining so friendly and calm, for the Saiyan woman with whom he'd been conversing with, decided to inquire about his time in the Saiyan Kingdom, and that was something Auber didn't exactly like, he'd prefer to keep his time on Earth seperated from his job, it simply brought too much confusion.
"My, my, first date and you're already attempting to know more about my past?" He raised an eyebrow, with a playful smirk tugging at the corners of his mouth before chuckling, "I'm kidding.." He waved off any potential concerns she might have with his statement.
"As for an actual answer to your question, I suppose I haven't quit trying to explore as much of the galaxy as I can." Technically not a lie, his time in the Saiyan Kingdom has allowed him to know more places and worlds than he did when he was stuck on Vegeta, escaping from the local authorities of the World Trade Fleet.
He sighed.
Those days were long over, and he certainly hopes they will never make a return.

Zhalla would raise an eyebrow back at Auber's response but would accompany it with an amused laugh-- It took her aback a little but she wouldn't let that show much on the outside. His lack of a full fledged answer somewhat suggested to her that he wasn't letting on to as much as she would've liked and maybe even didn't like all of the questions she was shooting his way. "Oh but you do have a point though- Suppose I am asking things a bit too quickly, aren't I? My bad, my bad"
Though he did provide somewhat of an answer but it was one that really left her with only more questions then before. Explore as much of the galaxy as he could? For what reason? There could be many for doing such a thing and not all of them were something she really liked to think about. "I see- There's a lot of places to explore out there" There sure was lots of beautiful planets to explore and different cultures out there to see but whether that was why Auber wanted to explore or not she wasn't sure.
She wouldn't find out if things didn't remain friendly though so she opted for a different sort of question instead, hoping it would be more to his taste. "Suppose I should start with a much more simple question- One I should've started with. My name's Zhalla, what's your's?"

Auber kept his amused smile all throught Zhalla's statements, normally, he would tell her straight-up that she was indeed asking too many questions, but Auber told himself that in order to keep a peaceful time here on Earth, he'd have to be polite, which just so happened to work pretty well with him, he did wear a convincing mask.
Though, that depends on who you asked.
Auber turned his head to glance out the window once more, this spot in the caffé was one of the best in his honest opinion, and soon enough his thoughts wandered to Namek, back when Auber fought the Stargoon mercenaries and the World Trade Fleet for the wish-granting orbs, and he would sometimes stop to admire the landscape of the Namekian Homeworld.
He turned back to Zhalla, smile still in place, though this one was much more nostalgic than amused, "My name is Auber, it's a pleasure to meet you, Zhalla." He introduced himself, taking another sip of his coffee.
He has to ponder on how long this time of peace can really last.
