Kinoko had landed a few feet away from Piccolo, and she had heard his every word when she had done so. As much as she knew about the Namekian, there was no surprise about when he knew detect her looming presence. "There's no need to thank me; I had to do what I had to do, and that's to protect my family; every call must be answered", she assured, giving him a friendly smile. It was a vow she was sure to follow, ever since the defeat of Raditz. The abuse had taken its toll, and it finally made her decide to kill him, probably for the first time without honor. That was the reason Kinoko had changed sides in the first place: She had enough of it. 

She looked at her nephew when he began to ponder about his own actions during the battle. "Gohan, don’t doubt yourself. You did what you could; by giving it your all", the princess walked to Gohan, stopping next to him, and gently placing a hand on his shoulder. It felt as if he was back as a child again; back when she had rescued him and Goku. This time, as much as she could remember, it was as if it would never get old. Like she said, she had a family to protect; as an aunt, and a sister, she will live up to that expectation. If she had to babysit her nieces, nephews, or her siblings, she would.

It felt as if her sixth sense was her ability to detect the melancholy auras of people. Because she was certainly seeing it in Gohan. "Gohan, there was no chance that Frieza would ever defeat us. Know why? Because we are family. We fought as one; the bond is much stronger than you think", the princess smiled once more, before nodding, hoping to give him hope that they will succeed...and that there's always a way. 

In some ways, like how she is with Goku, she had gotten closer to Gohan, ever since the incident. Of course, before the eradication of their homeworld, she had remained really close with Vegeta, considering that they had obviously grew up together in the same status and household. As close as they were, rather emotionally, Kinoko just knew that, even though her older brother would be out training, he wouldn't put it above family-oriented scenarios. Especially when it comes to the wellbeing of his wife, his son, or his sister. As much as he didn't want to admit it, the Saiyan prince will put their wellbeing before his own. 

Since there wasn't necessarily a place for her to reside, the princess normally stayed with Goku and his family. At first, she found Chi-Chi to be somewhat strict, but Kinoko could only understand that she just wants what's best for her family. As much as those expectations were overbearing, Kinoko tries to do the best she can, in order to help her younger brother with the amount of stress his wife puts on him. Sometimes, they were rather lucky in getting her to agree with them taking a break or two, but this varied. Especially when it came to Goku and training...
