The discussion of Ki could wait for now, they were supposed to be enjoying themselves. If the hesitation on Shu's part hinted at anything he was doing anything but. Seeing the boy clearly be uneasy about the idea the Captain let it go, opting for a change in discussion instead. "It's a surprise, but I promise you'll like it." Also a useful excuse to get away from the prying eyes of the populous, for now anyways. If the general public knew they had aliens in their midst, a Saiyan no less, then reactions might be... Sketchy. It was best then to keep everything under the radar so to speak, at least until the Queen deemed it okay. To avoid larger groups L'esta took them down several side roads, ushering away the few curious folk who followed regardless. After some critical words they got rid of their final 'fans', though he was sure they would come back. Keeping to themselves the Captain managed to bring them to the outskirts of a large arched courtyard. The pillars surrounding the area were made of a polished stone, though these having more of a brass color in contrast to the white-washed stone above. What he had hoped to show the others lay inside.

Stepping through the arches Shu and Yumi would see a massive tree in the middle of the area, easily the most prominent feature due to its gigantic proportions. Around it were smaller trees, saplings by the looks of them, and various beds of flowers. The centerpiece was outstanding, both in its size and looks. The bark was a soft brown color, almost like fur, but if one touched it they would be surprised by the coarseness of the material. Branches spanned out in every which direction, each bearing lime-green leaves. What would probably delight Shu most of all were the yellow fruits that the tree bore, nearly as plentiful as the leaves themselves. "It's a lovely plant, isn't it?" L'esta mused, turning to the others and smiling happily. "This tree, believe it or not, gives life to every other tree in this cave. Any tree you see sprouts from the roots of this one, which run under the ground everywhere. And the fruit above is among the richest on our world, since so many nutrients are made to use it." Looking up at the tree the captain chuckled, folding his hands behind his back. "Perhaps this is something you might want, Shu?"

Kabocha gave Viral a funny look before beginning to laugh, shaking his head in disbelief. "Honor? You're seriously going to prattle on about that tired old ideal?" he asked, straightening out his expression as he applied a little pressure to Viral's wrists. "Let me tell you about honor. Doing something that you completely despise to keep your loved ones safe, isn't that honor? Isn't it HONORABLE to suffer for the ones you care about? Because that's what we do." Smirking the Saiyan tried to turn the Beastman around, pushing him to the ground with his arms behind his back to secure him. "We don't want to do this. We couldn't give a damn about Yumi, or you, or this war really. We just want to see our parents and friends alive when we go home, so we keep doing this. Are we really without honor then? If we've got no choice then does that make us bad?" Hardly here to be philosophical Kabocha crammed his knee against Viral's back, looking between the twins hopefully. "Got something we can tie his arms together with? I don't want to have to drag him around with me."
