"Yeah, fruit does taste nice... But don't ya ever get sick of it? Eating one thing all the time would get really old, you know? I mean I wouldn't want fish all the time, or steaks. Smoothies maybe, but not those things. Gotta have some variety." Him talking to Shu about variety in one's diet was probably akin to talking to a brick wall, the little guy loved fruit and nothing was going to dissuade him from that. Really on the grand scheme of things it was far from the worst vice to have, and easily enough satisfied even if only for a short while. Since T'charrl and the King were going to have a one on one Takeshi figured they were best off finding something to do, at least until the fruit arrived. With all these trees around it was pretty self-explanatory what they should be doing; climbing and swinging in the trees would help Shu burn off some of his boundless energy. Pitching the idea to his little brother he smiled and gave a nod, "Yeah, I want to climb trees. Let's have some fun while- Hey!" Not expecting to have his arm grabbed or pulled he nearly fell flat when he was given a tug, stumbling after Shu as they raced over to one of the bigger trees in the area. Trees inside of a tree, this place really was something else. Once they had finally gotten there he was mercifully released, stutter-stepping a bit to stop himself before smiling exasperatedly. "Alright... We just climbing or what? What do you want to do buddy?"

What was Haku to do while they waited for the food? He had no place in the discussion between T'charrl and Aseel, nor did he really have a part in playing with the Princes. Looks like he'd be spending the time on his own, which wasn't all bad given the nice nature of the place they were in. Compared to every other planet he'd been on, Earth included, this was so natural, so underdeveloped in a way others weren't... And it was nice. Rare was it he ever went to a world where the beauty of it was intact, and even the parts where people lived here on Kaesstra were nice to look at. He doubted anyone shared his appreciation for that, or his enjoying nature over the hardness of concrete or the gray buildings which littered so many places. Looking between the two groups he gave up the thought of even trying to join either, instead going to a different tree and sitting himself down at the trunk. With his back to the bark Haku stretched out some, looking up through the canopy and at the sky above, enjoying the fact this place was so open. Though the people were a bit odd and he certainly couldn't live solely on fruit it was nice, he would certainly consider coming back here again. 

Hopefully Aseel wasn't overstepping his boundaries by asking about Eslaria, but he was curious. "That's good to hear, I'm glad. The last I saw her she was but a child, it's been much too long. I would very much like to see her again now that she's come into her own, perhaps over a nice meal sometime." He understood there were things that had to be taken care of first, especially since the war had just been settled as T'charrl pointed out. Smiling at the Prince he laid his hands across his stomach, letting out a sigh as he leaned back against the bench a bit. "In my experience I've found compromise to be even more effective than force. By placating your opposition you prevent further trouble, and I've had some of my staunchest enemiest become my closest allies over the years. Far be it from me to tell you how to rule, but that's simply the policy I've used throughout the years." And what of the young Yusef, he wondered? Last he heard the man had risen in the ranks of the military to captain, how was he doing now? Musing over that he glanced at the Prince again, blinking owlishly before letting out a small laugh. "Oh but where are my manners! You had something you wanted to talk about, yes? Please, feel free to speak your mind."
