Pyrus was a touch curious why they were asking about the King being a warrior, but attributed it to their all being fighters themselves. It wasn't hard to figure out who fought and who didn't, normally one could see just by how a person carried themselves. All of the Prince's friends seemed to have at least some experience, goodness knows they all probably had some stories of their own. Smiling slightly at the comment of his own family the adviser shrugged his shoulders some, looking out the windows to the city beyond as they walked along. "It's not that our King is utterly helpless, because he isn't. The man can fight, he just rarely does. His philosophy is fighting is only a last resort, you see, and never the first option. Nearly everyone in the kingdom agrees with his more passive approach and as such there's no reason to fear for his safety. There will always be opponents of course, but I would be hard pressed to see someone who genuinely hates the man." It would be one thing if he simply refused to fight out of cowardice, but their King refused to battle for the interest of preserving life. A man that had experienced the Kingdom Wars probably saw quite a bit of turmoil, more than anyone a generation younger would ever hopefully witness. It came as no surprise then he might want to shy away from such tactics. "Underground... Hm. I figured you were from a Lower City, but I didn't want to assume," Pyrus mused, smiling back at T'charrl, "It sounds interesting, I would like to visit your city some day if possible, I'm sure it's a lovely place."

"Well then you can learn all you want. We've got free time now, nothing to distract us, so we can do whatever you want!" There wasn't really anything he needed or wanted to learn, except maybe some neat moves or ways to fight. Shu's stuff was more book learning, Takeshi just wanted new ways to beat someone's face in. Folding his hands behind his head the older boy smiled to himself, "Yeah... I'm sure we can teach you. I know some stuff, Yumi knows some stuff, Vegeta knows a ton. Then there's everyone else too... Kai, Choi, Kabocha, even Haku's got to know something," he paused, glancing back at the other boy and smiling amused, "We'll figure out some time for you to take lessons, okay?" What should they teach the little guy anyways? His first thought was Earth writing and language, but then they did travel a lot too so maybe other languages would be needed. Did Shu even have the ability to learn other languages? He barely knew the language all his friends spoke, let alone some alien tongue. Being asked about sizes of homes Takeshi crossed his arms, biting his lower lip and drumming his fingers against his arm in thought. "Well... Big stuff just seems like... Like you don't need it. I can't think of a reason you need a big house, or a ton of stuff. I just want what I need and that's that, you know? And why would we even bother getting cars? I fly, you fly and you have Nimbus, then Vegeta's got those little capsules with things we can use in them. A car would be a waste of money." That and he didn't have the foggiest idea how to drive one. Flying a ship was different, once you got off the ground there was nothing to crash into; there was [i]plenty[/i] to crash into on the ground.

Pyrus led the group around to the back of the palace, finally reaching a large set of winding steps that wrapped around the outer walls of the palace itself. It really was an open building, seeming like any chance there was for it being opened up the architects took it. Whereas T'charrl's palace had winding corridors this palace had long, open halls with balconies, arched walls to let in fresh air and what looked like paper lanterns hanging off the side, no doubt providing light in the evenings. "I don't mean to brag... But you must see the city during a festival, it's quite beautiful," the adviser mentioned as they walked along, "Strings of lights are hung between trees, lanterns are arranged in various shapes and decorations of all kinds adorn buildings and trees alike. It's perhaps the only time you can see the city from above, if only because it's glowing so brightly." Would it be a problem for someone from a Lower City? Too much light could be uncomfortable, he wasn't wholly sure how that worked. "The throne room is just a floor above now, so if you've any questions concerning the King I'd suggest asking now."
