So that's what Shu was all bent out of shape over? Just because he'd accidentally bit someone? Honestly if that was the reason the others were avoiding him then that was pretty lame, Takeshi had done loads worse when working under his father. He could just as easily do something bad if he was pushed enough to, so using that excuse to avoid Shu really didn't cut it. He was going to have a chat with the others when they finally got back, make it abundantly clear if they had something against Shu they could tell him upfront or man up and spend time with him. "Hey now... It was an accident, I'm sure they're over it," the older boy said, smiling as he placed a hand on his brother's head, Kai and Choi won't hold a grudge, I'm positive they're okay with you now." And give them something bad? Like what? Shu spent near all his time either in a sterile spaceship or on a planet, and even when on the planet he wasn't exactly getting into a whole lot. If they were wanting to remain part of this crew of theirs they were going to have to accept Shu and get along, the twins and Kabocha both. Everyone else was fine with him, even Haku though their relationship was scarcely what one might call a friendship. Having to elaborate on being pure Takeshi frowned slightly, putting his hands on his hips as he tapped one of his feet. "Pure... Well... You know... Nothing evil about you, all nice and good hearted and stuff like that. You're all of that so you can ride Nimbus, understand? Only a really, really good person can."

The King had been told he had visitors coming, but that was about it. There was no certain time as to their arrival nor how many there really were, only that a Prince was among the group. His men looked as though they wanted to go on alert because of the vagueness of the information yet he'd dismissed their concerns, seeing no reason to worry. If the boy was indeed Eslaria's then he had no reason to fear, she was a fierce yet just woman, he'd come to no harm from her children. Nor was he concerned with the Prince's companions being a threat, as he figured good people kept good company. All of the worry proved to be for naught when his guests finally did arrive, all five of them to his delight. There was Menma, a day behind schedule but looking no worse for wear, and the other Kaesstrian quite obviously had to be Prince T'charrl. That meant the others were Saiyans, if their utterly distinct appearances weren't indicative enough. Leaving his throne Aseel went to greet the group at the door, giving a brief introduction to everyone there. "A bad time? It is never a bad time for some company my young friend! Always a delight to meet new faces," the King said, smiling as he chortled a little, "And please, I get called 'Your Majesty' enough in one day that it grates on my antennae. Please, just Aseel will do. And who might your friends be?"

Huh, if there was ever a picture for a golly giant this guy would fit it perfectly. Considering he was pretty much cloaked in that robe of his it was hard to see most of his features, which was good for Takeshi and his relapsing phobia. Sure the compact eyes and the antennae were a little jarring, but he could manage that much. Smiling as pleasantries were exchanged with their friend he looked at the King when they were all addressed, not wholly sure how he should go about introducing himself. T'charrl had been all formal yet the King seemed to not care for it, but then again maybe that's because they were both royalty. Glancing over at T'charrl uncertainly for some sort of cue and finding none he sighed, shrugging his shoulders before opting to wing it. "Nice to meet you sir, my name is Takeshi," he answered, bowing a bit awkwardly with arms stiffly at his sides, "And uh... I'm sort of a Prince too... I guess." Were they supposed to throw some kind of credentials in there? The King had done it so he sort of figured that was the thing you did.

"I'm Haku, nice to meet you sir," Haku then said, bowing a bit easier than Takeshi had. When you were subservient to another for nearly your entire existence showing reverence was pretty much second nature. The fact this King was supposed to be nice didn't alleviate the ingrained wariness he felt, nor did it make him any more optimistic that things might be different here. So long as he kept himself in check and stayed with his friends hopefully he would be okay.
