“All soldiers start young. I started when I was eight”, Krom mumbled, folding his arms. He didn’t know what age soldiers on Earth started but he thought that was a poor question Aito had given him to answer. Not entirely in the realm of trusting Aito he remained fairly stubborn towards the possibility of more freedom, even if it was the best possible outcome for him. It just sounded absurd and it wasn’t as if it wasn’t expected of him to not be put off by the sheer thought. “It just sounds terribly unlikely that you’ll be happy having me near you all the time. It’s already been proven that you and everyone who believes the rebels are good see me as some violent animal who will probably attack the moment you turn your back on me. You’re willing to give me night and day watch by yourself?” He certainly didn’t trust himself. If he couldn’t do what Yamate wanted him to do then he would have to retreat and report back or he was as good as dead. It would either be the rebels who kill him or Yamate. He didn’t have much of a choice in anything, it had always been that way. Narrowing his eyes at Aito he couldn’t help but chuckle at his words. “’Child’? It’s funny, hearing you call him that. It almost sounds like an insult, calling him that. What did you make him for, exactly? I highly doubt it was because you wanted a killing machine for a son”. Viral just wish Yumi would go away, but having her touch him made him extremely uncomfortable and not to mention it was extremely painful. She didn’t need to do any of this, she could had just left him alone but for some reason she was always trying to see if he was okay with whatever bad happened. He didn’t understand it. Why was she doing any of this? All this energy could be applied elsewhere and yet there she was here with him. Once she finally let go he slowly lowered his paws, sighing heavily before giving her a staring at as she dropped some more optimism his way. He didn’t understand any of this or how she could be so positive over everything despite the odds of a positive outcome being extremely low. “I’m not afraid of getting hurt. I’m not afraid of anything. I just know what you all are wanting to get involved in because I am the one who it all stems back to”. This was getting frustrating, but not only was Yumi now sitting beside him she was also now pressing up against him. The pain shot up his arm and right through him, constantly tingling as if he was constantly getting electrocuted. Gritting his teeth he stiffened up and looked away, trying to hide his discomfort as he went red in the face. “June cannot help and Aito can go jump off a bridge for all I care! Even though it won’t bother him in the slightest because he’s a god damn Super Saiyan!” he growled through his teeth, not wanting to give into the fact that he wanted to tell her to bugger off because she was doing more harm than good, “Will you stop touching me if I say I’ll go back anyway??” Shu frowned at Vegeta spoke, finding everything he was saying to be a little too much for him to take in. He didn’t know what he was supposed to say to any of that when it was covering such a massive range of different answers as well as other races getting involved in what he was trying to express. He wasn’t very good at expressing himself, but Vegeta definitely made him feel like he was just being an idiot a lot whenever he talked. “Uhhh, y-you’re more Human than Saiyan, though. You don’t even have a tail…” he muttered, pressing his fingers together harder, “I-I’m just not smart or strong or anything, that’s all”. Vegeta certainly did know how to make him feel stupid, even though it was probably already a fact that he was pretty dumb compared to everyone else. A lot that Vegeta was trying to tell him was becoming lost as he continued to use words he didn’t understand, leaving him to try and pretend he was understanding by not making a big deal out of it. “But that would mean I would have to transform for it to be seen to and I don’t want to just in case it doesn’t work”, he frowned, shaking his head, “It’s a big problem and if it doesn’t work then I make a big mess and hurt people. Ooohh, not sure how this is not a bad thing compared to other different things like girl and boy! Oooohhh, everything becoming much harder now…”
