Samu had requested his food be served in a bowl.  He scratched his name into the side of the Styrofoam bowl with his claw and looked hungrily at the food.  He knew he was supposed to eat more like a human, but food was more delicious like this.  Samu wasn't tall enough to stand and eat off of the table, nor did it feel right to sit down on the chair.  So, in an effort to meet in the middle, Samu stood on the chair and bent over to eat his food.  He ate it straight out of the bowl like a dog would, but people around him wondered why he grabbed the plastic cup to sip water rather than lap it from the cup.  Here and there he made snarling noises as he ate.  Suddenly, Samu froze and his tail perked up.  "Turtles," he growled and looked at them from over his shoulder.  He let out a low growl, baring his teeth, then turned back and continued to eat his food.

"Who?" Ally asked, then spotted Gin, "Oh, that's Gin, he's [s]the future father of my children[/s] a friend.  He's also in the tournament."

One of the waiters stopped by their table.  "How many, four?  Must be four since the old man doesn't fight.  Four okay.  What would you like, young man?" he asked, pointing at the starving Kiro, then laughed, "Just kidding!  Everyone gets the same dish.  I'll be back with the food."

Akita looked at the others and crossed her arms, "Well that was rude."  Sure, Master Roshi was old, but she was sure he could beat that waiter up in a fight any day.  She wondered what Roshi was going to eat since all he could pay with was a moth, but that flew away earlier.  "So Shin, what made you come to the tournament?" she asked.  He had to have some sort of reason, especially since he was all alone.

While the others made conversation as they waited on food, Ally sank into her mind.  [i]Roshi must've wanted me to lose to train harder,[/i] she thought, going off of the words he said when he 'discovered' she had lost, [i]He really did have his reasons, but if he had to enter the fight to stop me, what does that say about my power level?  The time was ticking on the clock and I felt like I was up on the judge's scores.  If he'd have let me do the Solar Flare technique I would've definitely won.  Does that mean I've surpassed Master Roshi?[/i]  The thought to her was unbelievable, but it was possible.  [i]Yeah, or maybe I'm on his level.  That must mean it's time to leave.  If Master Roshi has taught me everything he wants to teach me, then I have no other choice than to leave.  I guess I can head to West City with the zeni I've been saving and see where everything goes from there.  I'll need to find a new master.  No matter how this goes, I will get stronger and I will make it to the tournament whenever I enter next![/i]
