Pankaa's PL: 55,000
It had been some time since Papa Nero had left Earth for a place he called 'Beepa' whatever that was! And though Pankaa missed him every day he was at least in good hands while Nero was away. Their neighbours tended to mind the avali but today he was being minded by someone the lady Nero went with recommended, a mutual friend of the saiyans who also happened to be a saiyan! Though Pankaa didn't quite get why his Papa listened to that lady's recommendations, what made her so special that he left Earth for a while with her anyways? The avali wasn't sure but he would be sure to give Nero plenty of asking about it later once he was home. Anyways, since it was this mutual friends day to mind him Pankaa had been dropped off at his place of work and escorted inside before being totally left in this saiyan's care. The place of work was... Odd to say the least it looked like most places that served food and drinks but it smelt funny, at least it did to the young avali anyway. Flattening his four large ears back and gripping onto his little backpack Pankaa would wander over to one of the bar stools before scampering up it so he could see above the counter. Thankfully his claws helped him make the climb but unfortunately the stools were made for people much bigger then he was. So! With a light huff Pankaa would toss his backpack up on the counter before scrambling up after it himself. Everything on Earth was always too big! Now at least, on top of the counter he could see a whole lot more of the place-- There were a couple people in and they were giving him funny looks for whatever reason. A reason the avali didn't care for it would seem as he simply picked his bag back up and started rummaging through it while he waited for this 'Dion' friend of Nero's to come over. Though-- While he didn't let the looks bother him his ears would flick when, after coming back out from his bag, he noticed everyone here was much older then him and the only new people who entered were adults as well... Had he been dropped off to the wrong place? |

Upon a cool fall morning, the young Saiyan bartender had barely gotten out of bed when he had received a call from one of his best business partners, Nero, the nature of which being him asking for a bit of a favor. Being the decent guy that he was, Nero being the apple of Zhalla's eye, and seeing as he was the man he had entrusted to overlooking the delivery services of his business and he had been doing exceedingly well, Dion only found it fair that Nero cashed in at least one or two favors eventually. So, remaining pretty open minded, the two began to talk on the phone for a little while- with the Pancake King explaining how he'd be out of town for a little bit on off-planet business with Zhalla. Resisting the urge to nudge the two together a bit more, Dion listened intently as he explained this introduced a bit of a problem for him. He had this sort of kid under his care that he'd be leaving all alone at home without a caretaker, his name was Pankaa, and the people he usually asked to babysit him
weren't free for some, unexplained reason that Dion didn't feel the need to dive into too much. Point was, Nero now needed a replacement sitter.
And the bartendy boy was all too happy to oblige-! As mentioned whilst with Zhalla during her dancing tutorial, Dion had a real soft spot for kids, and knew that this would be the perfect opportunity to see exactly how well he meshes with them by taking care of Nero's own kid! So, his prized deliveryman need not say more, as the excited Saiyan male quickly recited the address of the Diono's specifically that he'd be working in today that he could send the lad, named Pankaa, to.
After multiple reassurances that it wouldn't be any trouble, and that he had more than enough supplies and men to be able to keep a steady eye on the baby boy, Nero was able to confirm that Pankaa would be arriving there a little bit before he was scheduled to come into work today. Perfectly fine, was all Dion said in reply, only asking that he'd tell the young lad to wait for him at the main bar on top of one of the stools.
Once that was all settled and done with, and the two said their goodbyes (With Dion wishing him and Zhalla luck on their little venture, wherever they may be headed), the bartender made babysitter now quickly gathered himself and his things and eventually made his way out of his apartment complex. Wasting no time in taking to the skies, heading straight toward his Diono's in a jiffy. Normally he'd take a much more relaxed and scenic route on his way to work, but, he'd rather not leave a basically defenseless young child by himself for too long in such a foreign and unknown environment, so Dion decided early on to pick up the pace and do away with the unnecessary extra things.
After several minutes of making great haste, Dion finally landed just outside of the Diono's front door, turning the knob and coming through the entrance like a man on a mission. His eyes already searching the bar's attendees for the little birb bab that he was taking care of today. It didn't take him that long to find the lad- the seemingly well mannered Avali child was seated right at the center of the main bar, the perfect position for Dion to keep close eye on him. What a thoughtful young boy! He could see why Nero (and presumably Zhalla) adored him.
"Hey, you're Pankaa, aintcha'?" the bartender spoke in his approach as he made his way toward the kid, patting him on the back before moving around the bar to the opposite side of where Pankaa was seated. "Sorry to have kept you waiting, it was sort of last minute that I stepped up to the plate and told Nero I could take you under my wing for a little while. Not that that's a bad thing of course-! I don't mind killing a day or two's worth of time with a friend of mine's own kid."
"But, anyways, looks like I'm rambling again, where are my manners-? Name's Dion! I'll be your babysitter it seems for the foreseeable future. I'm sure you've got a least a few questions, so go ahead and ask away while ya can-! Rush hour won't be hitting until another half hour or so at the very least, so you've got a nice lookin' period for some ponderings."

His internal question would soon be answered with a no! He was in the right place as Dion entering through the front door would soon confirmed. Though Pankaa of course didn't exactly recognize him in full since Papa knew him, not Pankaa! At least not yet anyways.
The avali's attention would go straight to the saiyan as he entered though-- He looked determined for whatever reason! How strange, had he been on a mission or something prior to arriving?
Either way he would soon approach the young avali who would at first shy away a little bit behind his backpack that he'd set on the counter, his four big ears folding back against his head as he looked up at Dion with his big ol' blue eyes. The saiyan was incredibly peppy and friendly however like how Nero had told him he would be and this helped the young lad's confidence bubble to the surface a little-- Though the pat on his back made him squeak lightly in response. "Um... Yes! Pankaa is me! I'm Pankaa"
The avali seemed both happy at the mention of Nero and a tad bit grumpy too, but why? "Dion no worry! Dion don't make Pankaa wait as much as Papa is now" Folding his little feathered arms he would give an almighty pout as his neck fluff puffed up angrily, muttering words under his breath that he himself probably didn't even understand and they sounded more like a disgruntled birds tweeting then anything actually spiteful.
"Pankaa not baby! Why Papa get babysitter?" The young space raptor seemed quite torn on something but seemed to also be trying his best to be polite despite his frustration, keeping his little arms and legs to himself rather then angrily knocking anything off the bar top-- Though it was incredibly tempting mind you. "Why'd papa not take Pankaa with him? What's so special about that lady anyways" All the feathers atop Pankaa's head by this point had puffed up much like his neck fluff had done, though despite the angry babysitter questioning the avali didn't seem angry at Dion himself. "Rush hour? What that? Does Dion have to go somewhere too?"
