"Well... Typically the fruit is only eaten by residents, but..." L'esta paused, smiling as he extended his wings. Flying up wordlessly he grabbed three of the fruits, throwing one down to each Shu and Yumi respectively. "I suppose we can make an exception in this case. To be honest I'm expecting you to be given some of this fruit anyways, so it can't hurt to sample at least one piece." He'd had it before of course, several times, so it wasn't anything special really. Nonetheless he sank his teeth into it, smiling contentedly as he enjoyed the food. "This garden, it's usually private except for during festivals. That's why you hardly see anyone around here. The fruit the tree bears takes a while to grow, so we have to give it ample time to ripen and sprout, otherwise the tree would never be this full." Taking a seat on one of the protruding roots L'esta looked between the two thoughtfully, rolling the fruit between his hands. "What do you think of it?"

Yumi looked at the tree in disbelief, having as much a hard time as Shu trying to comprehend what they were being told. So this one tree was essentially the entire basis for this city? Trailing the roots that bore into the ground she tried to get some idea of where they went, her vision cut off by the pillars around them. It was magnificent, there really wasn't any other word for it. Looking back to their guide she emitted a soft "Oh!" when a fruit was thrown into her hands, looking at it carefully. It was odd, bright yellow in color and a multitude of bumps along the skin. Flexing her fingers against it carefully she was surprised at how easily the rind gave way, her fingertips digging into the soft fleshy material underneath. Hefting her shoulders in a shrug Yumi bit into it, chewing on the fruit carefully before beaming. It was a mixture of flavors, much like a smoothie, and absolutely delicious. "Wow! How is this even possible?" she whispered, taking another bite graciously. She wasn't an avid fruit eater like Shu, but she could easily sit here all day and snack on these.

Kabocha growled furiously at Viral's attitude, getting a fair bit peeved with his back talk. Rather than offer any retort though one of the twins opted to do it for him, Choi of all people. Watching the foot connect with Viral's head the noble smiled bitterly, easing up on his knee slightly as not to damage their captive. "Of course we want to become stronger! We're Saiyans you idiot, it's what we do. But it's not that simple, and I wouldn't expect you to understand." They could train for years and probably never beat the top Elites, never mind Yamate. They wanted freedom, they wanted to have nothing to do with their damned king, but here they were stuck as measly servants. While he'd initially cooled down a little Kabocha found himself getting angrier just thinking about it, gritting his teeth and biting back some rather crude remarks directed towards the Beastman.

"Believe me, we've tried to break free from him. You think a tyrant like that was welcomed with open arms?" Kabocha continued, now shouting despite himself. "Yamate took control, and he killed anyone who opposed him! We can't do anything or we die, our families die, and anyone we've ever known dies. Not that I'd expect you to understand that!" It was like Choi said, this monster had no family. He'd never known loss, or would ever have to face the potential of losing a loved one. He was alone, and honestly that seemed preferable to their situation. With his anger rising the Saiyan was making one basic mistake, and that was his power was seeping out gradually. It was already well past the point of detection, but he couldn't care less. Binding Viral's hands with the cuffs he pushed the man into the dirt, getting up and giving his side a good kick. "Now keep your damn mouth shut, will you?"
