Kabocha was happy. I mean, she was happy about her new side project, she was happy about learning about Ki- even if she couldn't use it right now, and she was happy about most things to be frank, but the one thing she was really happy for right now, sitting on a bench in the midst of the crowd in West City was the fact that she had just sent a message to her friend Garruk, updating him on her progress that she had made it to the Western Verge, and asking him to come over for a hangout if he's not busy. She sat there, swinging her feet out underneath the bench, being careful not to hit anyone as she hummed a little tune in her head. She r-eally needed to talk to him to be completely clear- There were a lot of things that she'd want his opinion on!
She looked inside of herself again like Hazel had taught her, and was careful like how she'd learned to be with Whisker's help. She could expand her ki outside of where her heart was just a little bit, making a small opaque orange light to those who could sense emanating from her chest. She could barely push it out from her chest without the pain starting, but she was getting better at holding her own ki back from exploding outward and then causing the influx that she experienced. she kept this practice up as much as possible to pass the time, ignoring the looks she could feel even through closed eyes from very rare moments where people would stare at her cause they could see her constrained aura that was locked to her chest.
Distantly, a figure cloaked in a dirty hoodie and baggy torn pants turned their attention to the direction of Kabocha's little display. "Well fuck, she's here" they simply muttered, going through the allyways now to make their way to Kabocha's destination

With his break form training Garruk had been taking care of some much needed paperwork before Frista's arrival, the marriage negotiations critical for both Acrosians. Each of them needed each other and the marriage would seal the deal on stone, a display of faith for everyone to see despite the lack of love between the two. Or at least that was what they where hoping for at the very least, their first meeting was soon and it could easily go bad ruining both of their chances at furthering their goals. It would be for political reasons but he hoped they at least could be on amendable terms, the thought of them being at each others throats for the next few centuries did not help his confidence. He still had some time before their arrival and all plans seemed to be going well, their supplies might be strained a little bit with them throwing the party but they could not afford to look like poppers at such a meeting. It would also be a good chance for people to unwind, the life of hiding in the ships did little to help people form gathering stress.
It was during this that Garruk got the message, the Acrosian quite eager to catch up to the strange Saiyan in person rather then just messages left for each other to find. In truth he had meant to catch up with her sooner if only to check in on her health, her safety in the wild concerned him but the constant messages did help his unease if not erase it entirely. Such a meeting would be a good chance to get away form the preparations and allow him to unwind, a luxury that was normally only allotted to him during his training. They did not need him at the moment so he informed the crew of his departure he lift the confines of the ship, the small figure shooting though the water and soon the sky as he made his way to west city. The flight did not take long at all and with his scouter on Kabocha it would not be hard to track her down, a fact that proved true almost instantly as the signal in the scouted lit up on his own scouter. With a smile he shot of till he could make her out in the distance, his eyes easily picking her out among the other earthlings. It was then he realized that perhaps she was not all that little at all compared to the earth females or even some of the males around her. It would not stop him form teasing her but it was some thing to note, his eyes noticing the change her power level as well. It was good that she was getting stronger and was likely now able to at the very least deal with the wild life on the planet, he hoped anyways.
Feeling like playing a prank the little Acrosian moved instantly beside Kabocha, his figure less then a blur to anyone watching as he was instantly sitting down next to her in his first form, the now small Acrosian much smaller then the Saiyan sitting next to him. "Hello there little one!" he greeted quickly, his words so fast that they blurred together as he tried to shock her a bit. It would only be then he caught sight of the small light emitting form her chest, his eyes wondering just what she had been up to in his absence. It was true he had shown her Ki but he had not expected the timid girl he had meet before to grasp how to use it so soon. then again she was a Saiyan and he should have expected it, their race was nearly as apt as his own with controlling ki, both races naturally born warriors.

The Young Saiyan was in absolute control [Heck yeah, alright i've got this, don't coax it too much or it'll rebound... I think... if I experiment with this and some tech from Crop co... Yeah I could-] She felt someone sit next to her, and she stopped thinking to control her emotions as her ki made the most minuscule jump from 30 to 31 PL, she felt a slight pinch on her chest and she pulled the reigns a bit [Oh okay, i've got this- I've got th-] Then she heard the 'Hello there little one!' Which made her physically jump, shocking her intensely as her control went haywire, her power spiking upward as a slight aura around her body gathered, darker orange and much more concerning. Her ki and aura tanked to outright zero as she felt her heart skip a beat, then another, then another- She held still though a hand gingerly placed on her chest to show her surprise as her heart began to beat again as to not worry garruk too much "HoooooH!" she exhaled in surprise as she looked over to garruk. The sight of her first friend on her journey was a sight for sore eyes! She IMMEDIATELY sprang and wrapped her arms around her friend "Garruk! It's awesome to see you!" She pulled back and gave a happy smile. "How're you doin'? How's your training going?" She says immediately springing back to her normal ticks of asking 500 questions.
She chuckled a bit at the sight of him, much smaller now than he normally was, but she was getting used to this form! To be honest she felt he looked fairly handsome in this form! [Looks like a real scrappy person i'd see when I was in school!] She remembered the first meeting they had, not reminiscing on the kind gestures of garruk- nope, she was uh- focusing on the time he ate dirt. She hoped he couldn't read minds as she covered her mouth slightly with a hand and stifled a giggle. Though she felt like she'd add a little comment to... reassure him? Tease him? tease him. She made a 'TADA!' kind of motion with her hands, and says very confidently "In the west, and alive by the way!~" She felt pangs of pride to that statement.

It was interesting to see the girl's aura as she practiced but the sharp drop after he scared her worried him greatly, he was fairly sure his did not do that regardless if he was scared or not. He made a mental note to look into it later, his doctors would know for if it was odd or not, his own field of study was towards ships and the life not biology. With that tucked away her sudden hug though him off yet again, the action was some thing he was not use to by any means. More so since he was not small enough for Kabochan to easily lift him up if she wanted too, the small Acrosian giving of a small smile as he listened to her. Know what she was like when she got excited he let her get it out of her system before he responded, his smile growing wider at her antics.
"I am doing good for the most part and I am getting quite a bit stronger then before, in fact I think I am stronger in my sealed form then In the true form you saw the first time you met me. Although I think your own growth is much higher then my own, how are you feeling by the way?" he asked, a bit of concern hitting his face when asked the final question. Who knows maybe she might know why her power level is stopping like that, he doubted it would be that easy but it could not hurt to ask after all. However he quickly caught her chuckle as she looked at him, the sight of her hand covering her mouth was all he needed to know to figure out just what she was thinking about. In fact he had come in his sealed form to help the memory along, it was only fair if he was gonna tease her that she got to have her fair share of fun after all. "Congrats! At least we don't have to worry about any more boars yes?" he said his eyes slowly turning into slits very much like a cats as he eyed when she giggled, his grin matching his strange eyes giving off a hint a mischief long before he ever said a word.
"So you have not forgotten memories you want to tell me right? I don't know like some things about...." he said trailing off on the last bit just enough to get her wondering before finishing, his smile only getting bigger as finished," Gods existing or magic? hmmm lets see magical wish granting dragon balls as well?". His features where now in a full blown grin as he waited for her to connect the dots, his unfortunate timing in contacting her had allowed him to catch her little freak out. He was sure he would get flak for eaves dropping but it was just to good to pass up the chance to tease her back for watching him fall like that, his tail swishing back and forth similar to a excited dog as he awaited the carnage.

Kabocha grinned excitedly when Garruk started answering her without the looks someone else would have given her. it was nice to talk to the friends you already have in moments like these! "Oh awesome!, yeah I can tell you're stronger- you just kinda seem... Hmmm, bigger? But not like- height! It's hard to explain" she chuckles and scratches at the back of her neck as she struggled to describe the feeling of sensing abundant ki. Though the second part of the question caught her off guard as she registered the concern that ran across his face. She'd... try to put that off as long as she could. The question he prose to her about memories made her face turn bright pink as you could nearly hear the dusty gears turn as recognition that she had the scouter still streaming audio came across her face. "O-Oh my god!" she blurted out and covered her face with her hands, chuckling nervously "oh my god w-h-y" she said, retrieving her scouter and- yup, she had sent a stream of audio right to garruk during that time. [Can I die, like- right now? Can the heart attacks I've been having actually take anD END ME? k-AMI IM EMBARRASSED.] She mentally screamed, taking use of the new uh, god term.
Though her flustered babbling didn't last too long. She didn't want to tip toe around the situation too much. She sighed and looked to him sincerely. "But ah- with the 'how are you feeling' question I uh, It's a bit hard to tell most days. I'm so hyped up every day to learn something new or meeting new friends on my journey- but i've recently learned that if my power gets too high, my uh... well- to put it bluntly my heart stops" She nervously chuckles again, this time in a more somber sad sense. "I've had about 4-5 now, and uh- i've been trying to find a solution to fix it. I'm actually trying to build armor to try to circumvent the issue." She let her hands rest now at her lap, looking down from his gaze as she tried not to look up in worry that she was going to panic him too much "But ah- I'm dealing well- and i've learned why the heart attacks happen- so, I think i'll be fine as long as I can get some help with fixin' it!" she says, slowly cheering up.
Not wanting the conversation to dwindle into such a depressing topic she puffed up her cheeks and jokingly pouted at him. "and mr. big armor boy, how was I supposed to know we had magic wish granting mcguffins! or a mystical leader man with the title of god?!" She sassed back at him, smiling again to show that she wasn't actually upset anymore about the previous brain busting revelation. "I'm gonna have my mom and dad get an earful for not lettin' me know if this is so common knowledge"

"Bigger?" he asked, his eyes going up as he thought on what she said. It only took a moment before he realized she probably could sense power levels, her ability seemed more primitive then what he had seen others do but it was most likely the reason why. "I know of fighters that can sense ki on their own without these scouters. I know they can even tell each other apart form their energy or even what race they are if they had met enough of them." He informed as he made his guess known out loud to her. Tilting his head he wondered just how she could sense it without a scouter, it was a skill he had no idea how to perform but maybe he should look into it some time instead of relying on a scouter.
Still these thoughts drifted form his mind as soon as he saw her realize he had been listening to that chat, his words not informing her that the whole leadership of his house had heard it. It was a fact he was gonna just not mention, he imagined she was already embarrassed enough without him adding more to it if her reaction was anything go by. It was a little mean of him to hold it against her when he had fallen due to his own failure but none the less it felt good to tease her back, it was perhaps one of the few times the small Alien was not being serious anymore. His work had taken much form him and times like this were far rarer then he had realized, his smile still plastered to his face until she brought up her heart. Quickly it was replaced by a small spike in his power level and a frown that was filled with worry. He had never heard of such a issue before, ki filled the fiber of all creatures and not just the heart so why did effect her in such a way. If she had heart problems it would effect her in more then just ki but maybe he was wrong. He had a degree in engineering not biology, perhaps there was more to it then he thought.
"You know...I have a large group of people that have many different skills and medicine is one of them. Perhaps you would not mind getting looked at? I have seen them reattach arms and more if you worried about their ability" he said after a moment of thinking, his voice filled with a small bit of uncertainty of his own. He had no idea what was causing it but he wanted to get to the bottom of it, he would hate to see anything happen to his friend. "Even if they can't do anything we have other resources that might even help with the armor you mentioned, at least it would be start anyways" he reasoned aloud before looking at her again. He was not sure how she would react to being taken some where and what was more he had not told her of his origin on this planet. He wondered how she would take it that he had started to build here on earth without asking anyone, a small city worth of aliens trying to make their home here without any sort of warning.

She shrugged and smiled to her friend " Not sure how I can do it, but like- it just... hmm... It's kind of a sensation in my spine? From what other peopl've been telling me, mine's pretty unevolved- like I haven't really worked on it so i'm not great at it" Kabocha made a small " eep!" when that sensation in her spine shot up a shock to her brain in response to Garruk's spike in power in response. She looked to him and saw his knit look of worry. She was wondering what in particular he was worried about, was it the fact that it was happening, how it was happening, why w as it happening? To be quite frank, she was still stuck on the worry of why it was happening herself. She was actually getting used to her heart stopping. She paused and thought [Oh wow I need therapy.] Excitement immediately jumped to her throat as he told her about the fact that he had some friend that could help her. " Oh i'd love to! I'm getting a little too used to my heart stopping- plus- if i'm gonna be defending this planet, I'll need to be stronger and this keeps stopping me from gettin' stronger. and- yeah even if they can't fix it they could help me build my armor! It's a win-win! Oh- ah if you don't mind I need to quickly grab my stuff if we're gonna head there soon if you don't mind- I'll be right back!" she said, leaping to her feet and scuttling off, having jumped the gun a bit in her excitement, as per the usual.
The older looking figure had finally made its way through the alleyway to see kabocha excitedly talking with the arcosian, and made gestures that she'd be right back and for him to wait there. The figure approached garruk, the feral looking monkey tail dragging against the ground possibly alerting garruk to the race of this stranger. It stood in front of him and simply asked " Do you know her?" in a voice that sounded like a lady had perpetual sand in her voice. She pulled back her hood, revealing her face. She looked strikingly a lot like kabocha- though the scarring on her face, the shark teeth, and the shaved hair helped differentiate them both. " If you do i'd like to ask a few questions" she stood there, her battle armor showing through a bit under her cloak.  |

Her explanation of her ability to sense ki seemed to agree with what he guessed, his head nodding as she explained it to him. Still having it was better then not as it could warn you of a incoming attack faster then a scouter most of the time,a useful ability since unlike a scouter one could not lose it by getting damaged or at least not as easily. "Hmm still sounds useful" he added at the end of her explanation, the small Acrosian giving her his unwavering attention as he listened.
It was not till she agreed to join him that he felt a little bit of his worry fade away, the breath he had been holding finally releasing. However no sooner then the stress had left him it was renewed at her words about defending the earth, a task he wanted her to take no part off. It was far to dangerous in his mind for her to start fighting the powers that threatened the world, many would argue that it was to dangerous for him as well for which he agreed with. He needed strength to be able to join the fight but for the life of him he could not see Kabocha fighting on the front line however he kept the thoughts to himself, he still needed her to come back with him rather then be mad at him. It was unlikely he was gonna change her mind and he rather not have her angry at him till at least they got to look at her heart. Forcing a smile to his lips he nodded to her just before she shot off to get her stuff, the only sign of his irritation was flicking of his tail.
Forcing himself to cheer up the Acrosian waited patiently for her return, his mind thinking of how to break his outpost to her. He was gonna wait till she was trapped on the ark with him that way she had no where to go but to the outpost with him and get looked at, it would be easier to ask for forgiveness rather then permission he guessed. Oh she was gonna see everyone's reaction to him, a sigh escaping his lips as he realized he was not gonna be able to hide anything once they were there.
So engrossed in these thoughts he missed the Saiyans approach, his eyes coming back into focus as he snapped up to look at the figure. "And who would want to kn......" he said as he drifted off towards the sentence, his eyes scanning the new figure as he put two and two together. Garruk was no genius but he was fairly intelligent as his mind easily connected the dots, the figure in front of him no doubt the person Kobachan had been looking for all this time. "....Does she know your here....Potana was it?" he finally asked after a moment, a scowl forming on his face as he looked at all her scars. It was like looking at would could happen to the girl if he allowed her to join in the battles to defend earth, a thought he abhorred far more then he should. "Questions was it? Go ahead" he replied as he let himself relax, his eyes avoiding Potana's face as much as he could.

The figure before Garruk stood still as he very carefully tread the conversation. Potana's eyes were... a different kind of piercing than Kabochas. Kabocha kept her eyes on people to show a lot of respect for the person speaking. She'd watch their emotions and see what she needed to say, or what to do. Potana's eyes were much more of a predator's eyes. watching for any sign of hostility in her prey. her eyes locked to Garruks making multiple observations on his aversion to gazing back to her. Much more accusatory in her inquisition. "Correct, my birth name's Potana. You however can call me what most humans call me 'round these parts. Red. Nickname of Red Menace around the west. Don't give a shit about the second part of that, though. Old name's fuckin' pointless anyways."
Her pose shifted from leaning on one hip to square standing with her arms crossed. She was also quite aware of the power gap however, so she didn't come by pointing her finger at his chest with the threat of shooting him if he didn't answer. She wasn't that stupid. but he might try to keep her staying here to try to trick her into meeting her sister, so that might be a reason why he might actually answer her. Though- if not, sucks to be her, but she'd just have to leave before her little sister could see her. "First Question. How do you know my Sister?" She couldn't fathom why her saiyan sister would even want to talk to an arcosian.- well... that wasn't exactly true. She knew exactly why it could be possible, she just didn't understand if it was as disappointing as she thought. it'd be a disappointment if she fell for the idea an arcosian could be anything less than conniving lizardy bastards that thought everyone lesser than them. "Secondly, why the fuck is she here, I warned her- and she didn't even know I was here until she got too close to the west thanks to some running buddies I know that saw her. took a whole lot of favors for them not to fuckin' rob her blind." she said bitterly. annoyed she had to be here, talking to an arcosian, trying to get her sister to leave. She wasn't made for the kind of life she was obviously chasing now. She'd die.
"Thirdly..." She paused, and tried to think of a way to be coy about asking this- she couldn't think of anything and her patience chronically wore for being sneaky. she shook her head and just asked "Thirdly is her fuckin' heart attacks still happening, or did they stop." There was a hint of softness in her voice at the end. Hoping beyond reason that her sister- POSSIBLY could be normal again.
Kabocha was in her room, happily humming a little song as her tail and waist swayed side to side. She could get to see some of Garruk's friends! "Oh gosh this is awesome! Can't wait to meet them! Oh! I wonder if maybe I could meet another saiyan like Dion! oh that would be rad as fuuuck! No more heart attacks, no more issues! Oh that's right! Garruk said he has a machine that could make gravity heavier! ohmygod!" she excitedly giggled at the prospect of a new adventure eyes nearly s-p-a-r-k-l-i-n-g. She grabbed the helmet she had been working on, and rummaged through her room for the chest plate she had finished.

Garruk was still on the bench as he leaned his head back to listen to Kabocha's sister, her rough mannerisms where such a polar opposite of their sister he did not want to keep looking as he closed his eyes. However he still listened to what she had to say, the fact that she was here all meant she had been aware of where her sister had been all along and chose to not show herself. "Red? A bit simple but I guess a name is a name" he replied, his thoughts thinking of his own last name Brumal. He had been taught at a young age to never tarnish the name and to honor for as long as he lived, he doubt he would ever willing part with it unlike the Saiyan before him.
The question he figured was coming sure enough came, the classic question why a Acrosian and a Saiyan would be together. Even more so one like Red"s sister who was virtually powerless, her weakness making her a target to the more piety of his kind. Still it never got old how often he heard that same question growing up with a Saiyan nanny, the old shrew still serving him even now. "I met her when she was clinging to a tree for dear life, a wild boar I think they call it had chased her up it. The rest is history really and no I do not plan to harm her. If I had planned on doing it I would have done it out in the wild with no one else around" he finally replied, the last bit a small effort on his part to put Red at ease. Lifting his head up finally he looked red dead in the eye, his face contorted into a small scowl as he listened to her complain about her sister being here. He nearly snapped at her when she started to complain about her being here, the small Acosian itching to simply knock red out, the Saiyan like way she acted brought up bad instincts on his part. It was not till she asked the final question that his frown softened a bit, his scowl quickly turning into a deep sigh.
"If its such a problem for your friends ill take care of Kabocha, if she is going to a dangerous area I can personally look over her. As for the heart attack? No they did not stop and that is why I am taking her to get looked at by my doctors. I have never heard of powering up causing them before, more so in a Saiyan." he relented against his better judgement, his mind wondering what he was gonna say to Kabocha when she came back. It was obvious Red was avoiding her and only had approached him due the bad blood between their races, her instincts to protect his sister form the big bad Acrosian. He had half a mind to just force her to stay and meet Kabocha, only his fear of her turning into a gaint ape and wrecking the area stopped him. Rather then cause a scene he muttered "Scouter record" in Acrosian, his voice a soft whisper as he rubbed his hand over his eyes for a moment. "Why are you avoiding your sister?" he asked finally, his own curiosity wanted to know and he wanted to be able to show Kabocha if she ever doubted her sister cared for her some level.

Potana kept a close eye on Garruk, though she was definitely slipping on the conversation- turns out when all you do is talk tersely to clientele to build a angry persona, not only does that amplify when you're upset, it also wanes just as hard when you feel pangs of emotion you'd put away for a long time. The explanation on how she got her filled her with outright anxiety. She ran a hand through her hair in the section where she had shaved some off as she started to pace as Garruk continued to explain. Boars?! Are you kidding?! She thought to herself and didn't notice Garruk's growing discomfort and well- probably absolute rage. Though the reassurance struck two nerves, both speaking at the same time "Fucking, thank you" she blurted out infuriating emotion building.
Oh dear god why did she thank an ARCOSIAN. "Fuck- listen okay. I appreciate at least the desire to help Kabo-chan-" she cut herself off as she shook her head "My sister." She looked back to him- resolute again. Not having noticed him starting to record. "But I don't have high hopes that you can, whatever our Biological Parents-" she spoke with such venom and derision that it was almost palpable. "-did to her, that's why she's the submissively cute adorable little rugrat they made her. They're the reason why she has those heart attacks. Her power builds up, whatever they did causes her ki to suffocate her heart, and she goes into fuckin' cardiac arrest temporarily. It's cruel, but at least it's guaranteed to be non fatal as long as she doesn't somehow learn how to actually use her own Ki." She paced a bit more, trying to debate whether or not to tell him- but- if telling him would help this ARCOSIAN to get her back fucking home... it was worth it, even if it put her in danger. She whipped around, her stern persona breaking down quickly. People starting to walk further and further away from her as civilians passed by.
"Listen, I don't know how much you know Arcosian- but that girl. That's not my sister anymore. That's our parent's daughter. My sister was ferocious, prideful, and a proper damn saiyan. Her strength was easily quadruple mine, and double our parents. She was just like me..." She said- feeling her shoulders loosen from actually venting, but her guts churning to have to reveal this to... to her races literal antithesis. God it put a pit in her stomach "You won't be able to fix what they did to her, you're better just bringing her home so they can keep grooming her to be the weakling they made her." She said losing her composure a bit. her face was a little red. "But..." She withdraws a bit, looking off to the side "If you could fix what they did... I'd have to be truly grateful arcosian." She said, betraying her actual desires. "I want my sister back." she relaxed her shoulders "and if I could make a request, even though you don't owe me shit. Don't tell her you met me if you don't fix her, or if she doesn't return to the same Kabocha I knew. I'm not exactly the wonderful sister she remembers anymore." She leaned one side. looking around to make sure her sister couldn't see her. "It'd break her heart to know what her sister is now."
Kabocha finally pulled the last bit of her armor, smiling excitedly even still. She outright dashes out of the rooms, taking a bit longer to make sure she didn't just WWE Chair someone with several 10's of pounds of armor. She was about midway to getting back to Garruk when she had been stopped by a concerned officer about the armor. So she was explaining it's purpose to a ever growing-ly confused officer. Poor guy.

Garruk listened silently his face showing a inner calm that did not match what he felt, his tail swishing back and forth several times revealing his anger to anyone know knew Acrosian body language. Only her thanks seemed to have any effect on his tail's movements, at least for a moment before it went completely still as he listened to her explain what was wrong with her. The idea anyone would do such a thing to their child angered him greatly, it was not their choice to make for their child. To put a physical disability on your child could never be a good idea, more so these days as the galaxy was threatened by powers that had laid dormant for years. Now with super Saiyans rampant in the galaxy and the host of other unknown races gaining powers that was only spoken of in legends people needed strength more then ever, even a little bit to avoid getting gored by boars.
It was not till she got to the last part that his face finally betrayed him, the mask he normally used for politics fading away as the sister finished. The revulsion he felt for the words made him think her no better then her parents, both sets of people wanted Kobachan to act how they wanted. They wanted to make the choices for her, one to be a peaceful little girl and the other to be a fearsome warrior that matched her idea of what that should be. Despite his outrage at it he allowed her to finish her words before he finally spoke, his words clear as they carried a bit of finality to it. "Recording off" he said in perfect common, his scouter beeping loudly to inform him that it was off as he got closer to Red, his much smaller figure not nearly as intimidating as he wanted it. He waited for the words to sink in, his eyes waiting for her to open her mouth before cutting her off by slamming his powerful tail into the ground creating a thunderous crash.
"I have heard enough" he said, his tone indicating that there was no room for leeway as the Acrosian took another slow step towards her. "Your sister is your sister regardless if she is weak,nice or what ever it is that you dislike so much. And yes I will do all in my power to help her but!" he growled out, his final word loud and echoing though out the small square to make sure this red was listening well. "What she acts like is up to Kabocha,gentle,strong or even like that of a proud Saiyan as you so called put it. It is not up for anyone to decide for her and without a doubt even if Kabocha some how regains her strength do you really think she is suddenly gonna become a ruthless warrior?" he asked her out loud but keep speaking his mind without pausing " If you want one of those prideful warriors who value nothing but the fight you can find them all over Vegeta, but If you knew anything about her then you would know without a doubt regaining her power will not turn her into whatever you think a Saiyan warrior is." he said as he volume ever so slightly started to tone down, many of the bystanders nearby finally moving away form the pair. While he had other choice words to say he refrained himself, he did not think he could control himself he if keep going. "I am leaving to find Kabocha" he relied before turning to walk away.
Turning at the last moment he finally gave the Saiyan a twisted smile, the grin easily showing just how much his dislike was showing though as he gave her one last message "Just a word of advice, If your afraid to show your sister what you have become then you are aware of whatever you have done is wrong. Perhaps you should reevaluate what it means to be a Saiyan warrior If your to afraid to even face your sister?". His words were less of a attempt to make her see reason and more of a way to take a stab at her, his racial heritage coming into play as he gave the advice. While he may have said it for the wrong reasons the advice was sound but it still made him feel wrong saying for the reason he did. Turning he quickly left Red alone in the part before she could reply, the small Acrosian hurrying to the direction he had seen Kabocha take off in.

It was not till he saw her with the officer that he let out his breath, not realizing till that moment just how angry he was as a small part of it eased away. "Really I leave you alone for a moment and your already in trouble again?" he jested, his voice forced as he moved closer to the officer and Kabochan.

Potana watched as the Arcosian's demeanor changed. She instinctively clenched her fists, preparing for a potential fight she didn't know could come, but wouldn't. The words 'recording off' rang through her head as everything went cold around her as the shock rocked her to her core. The panic setting in very quickly as she tried to blurt out "You were recording m-" She paused and stood straight at the words 'I've heard enough'. Her instincts betraying her in the manner that she stood at attention like a commander had addressed her. Fairly accurate, but she didn't understand why. Though the sense of dutiful commitment faded away to a rage she couldn't quite comprehend. [How the ever-loving fuck does he think he knew her better?! He knows not a goddamn thing about my sister-] Though his next statement of how she acts. She could somewhat agree to that. It was her decision... She opened her mouth to retort to the Arcosian, but she found he would allow her NO quarter.
He had a point with the fact she could find anyone on Vegeta, why didn't she just leave? Leave this weak planet for the glory of her kind? It had to be Kabocha. Her mind rationalized that Kabocha was meant for the warrior life of Vegeta and she wouldn't stray from that thought. When he turned to leave she tried making a step towards him, but his final words hit her like a freight train. She paused right there. Not saying a single thing. Her mind not allowing it to quite sink in, but the small hot droplets of fluid leaking from her eyes after he'd left said everything. He was right. She shook her head, and pushed the feelings that came up away as she pulled the hood back on. Turning and leaving the area. Something from Garruk striking against Potana's Resolve and making her question a bit of what she knew. but her hatred for him growing with every moment for their exchange.
Kabocha was standing with the exasperated officer, explaining literally all of the functions of the armor when she heard Garruk. She nearly dropped her armor to hug him, but she held to it and just smiled to him "Hi there! Nah i've been good! I've just been tellin' officer Manuel How this stuff works, and I'm super excited! This is Garruk my friend- he's a LARGE Arcosian, he's just in his sealed form right n-" as she turned to face officer Manuel, she was met with the sight of thin air as he'd bolted the second Garruk had come to save him. She pouted and huffed "Well that was rude... Guess he had somethin' important to do though!" She turned back to her friend and smiled brightly "Alrighty! I'm ready to go!" She says holding the black armor plating and odd glass tubing. "Uhh..." She looks down a little embarrassed to admit this "Do you think you could fly me there? I'm not uh- I'm not exactly airborne yet"

Garruk had to smirk as he watched the officer run away, his restraint only stopping him form laughing at the poor man. Turning to Kabocha with the grin still on his face before it quickly became one of embarrassment, his eyes looking away for a moment as he realized he should clear up the misconception here and now. "That large form you saw is called the brute form....I tend to tell people its my true form due to the fact I am so small. So yeah I uhhh am normally quite small" he admitted to her finally, his current sealed form was almost like his true form only with less armor and spikes. It was more likely those would take him serious if he was not the size of a small child, but recently he had gotten use to walking around like this and was happy to find that his people still trusted him. A fact only his old caretaker had caught him thinking about, the old woman able to read him like a book as she teased him.
"Well I can fly you part of the way at the very least, the rest of the trip can not be taken by air but I have a way to take you so don't worry" he said with a nod, the last bit he had said was meant to be reassuring even if it hinted at something else entirely. With her ready he would attempt to scoop her up in his arms, a sight that was no doubt strange due to the difference in size. Realizing he should turned into his big form he gave slight look of chagrin to Kabocha, the sight of a small alien carrying her bridal style must be slightly embarrassing in the middle of the city. Rather then let her look around any more he would then take off with her into the sky, the pair heading to the nearest body of ocean around them. Like before he was using his ki to keep a barrier around them, the small bit of energy keeping the wind form hurting Kabocha's eyes to much as they shot off in the sky.
"So before we arrive at the doctor that I know I am gonna have a lot to go over with you, some of it will be about me and others will be about our two races Kabocha. It will also be about the threat the planet has been facing recently, just how dangerous your plans really are. I won't try to stop you but I can't let you go in blind about it." he solemnly said, his voice a little bit tense as he was unsure just how to go about it. He really did not want to have a talk like this with her just yet but with them coming to his outpost their would be a ton of aliens there, a ton of people with loose lips just ready to tell her everything. He thought it better to hear it form him rather then another and to make matters worse he still needed to tell her about her sister. He was not gonna hide it but he was not sure just how to tell her he had met her, in fact had just met her. Perhaps he would wait and simply not mention when he had seen her, he could use the time to cut out the less pleasant part of the conversation. It was then he shook his head and berated himself for dancing around the issue, the Acrosian know very well that doing so would only hurt her latter on down the road.

Kabocha was definitely surprised to learn that- he was in fact, this smol. She actually raised her eyebrow at the notion and just kinda stared at him, though she didn't hold it for too long as she didn't want to be rude to her friend. "Huh..." she said, having a moment to sum up her confusion- though to try to make him feel a bit better about the situation, she scratched the back of her head a bit, chuckled and said "Well- to be fair, you're still large in presence Garruk! You command a room well!" She compliments. being quite earnest about it too. He was very good at maintaining presence in a room. The way he spoke with some authority grabbed Kabocha's attention most of the time and kept her on point. It was nice to have a friend who could balance you out, no matter how short they were!
She was surprised to learn that the trip wouldn't be entirely by air! Though, to a degree it did make some sense. She remembered him talking about his training, which sunk deeper into water. Wherever he was taking her had to be somewhere with an abundance of water, and probably had a process to get there. This was what she could guess based in how she really didn't know what she was getting into in all fairness- though she trusted her friend, and also she was- INCREDIBLY excited to not have heart attacks every other day. She really shouldn't be used to dealing with them. she was 18, not 85! With an adjustment of how she was carrying her cargo to make it a bit easier, she squeaked as Garruk easily scooped her up into his arms. It was quite the sight to see someone probably half her height pick her up like it was nothing. She ignored the voice in her head repeating [my feet are still touching the ground] and kept her face fairly neutral trying not to hurt her friends feelings. When Garruk took off, of course, she stiffened up a bit. She was NOT USED TO FLYING STILL, but at least she didn't go up screaming internally like last time. She was much more composed, looking around and seeing the ki barrier that Garruk made more clearly now! There was a bit of pride that came with that sense that she could understand ki much more now, but she was quick to cram that away in the moment as Garruk spoke up. "Oh! Okay...!" She sat in his arms, a growing nervousness as she didn't know why he seemed... tense? something in his voice tipping her off. She felt a strange pit in her stomach.
