Velona felt a tiny smile tug at the corners of her mouth, "I see, well, yes... they... weren't all bad. I lived with-" But unfortunately her conversation with the saiyan woman would have to wait. The Supreme Kai had awoken and quickly she'd become at odds with the other saiyan who'd arrived. Rather than getting answers, it seemed they would first need to keep source of said answers from being obliterated.

Yaksha tried his hand first.

Velona really, really wished he hadn't. Her jaw dropped at his words. She was quickly getting the sense that he was someone with a short temper, or who at least was not taking their current situation terribly well. That was fine and all, she could relate, but this really wasn't the time for him to vent his frustrations! 

"Um, you're very strong, yes? Um, if you don't mind..." She shot a pleading look at Maize, as well as tapping Ovaan's shoulder before hurriedly thrusting herself in the middle of the increasingly volatile situation. No one else wanted to keep their cool, so she would. For all of them.

Whether or not it worked remained to be seen, but Ovaan and Maize were hopefully on her side. She really didn't want her face to get melted off after all.

"Enough! Back off!" He furrowed her brow at Yaksha and even the Supreme Kai herself. It wasn't so much that they were in the wrong, but, especially up close, she could feel how dangerously close to perhaps literally exploding this woman was and if it took taking her side to prevent that, well, she would do it. She couldn't hope to challenge her, but maybe she could stop that from being an issue in the first place. She turned back to the angry saiyan, what was visible of her expression softening. "Please, there's been enough fighting already. I... I-I know what it's like to watch someone special to you disappear before your eyes... I know how much it hurts, but please don't take it out on them. I hate to say it, but... Yaksha here is right in a way. We've all... lost everything."

She tentatively held a hand out toward her, "You can... talk to me, if you'd like. Or we can put it all aside for now and just figure out why we're here. Just... please, no fighting." On the outside, she appeared remarkably calm, but it was taking everything she had not to tremble. Not from fear, but from the turmoil deep within as the act of empathizing with the saiyan threatened to bring to the forefront the memories she was trying to keep buried. "Perhaps you could tell me your name? I'm Velona."
