Takeshi and Shu left the house behind rather quickly, doing their best to make time to the city and back. With a potential all out war looming over the horizon and the very real chance of people being killed they had a sense of urgency, spurring them both to rush a bit. Rather than walk Takeshi had opted to carry his brother on his back, taking flight through the forest at a fairly decent speed. At first they overshot the spot where they had to turn, doubling back as they came across a clearing Shu didn't recognize. Once they regained their senses and found where the prince had been hiding it was fairly simple from there on out, heading right now since they had passed it by. The trip from that point to the entrance of the city seemed to be a great deal shorter, reaching it in little to no time at all. Takeshi landed right before it in plain view of the guards, many of which recognized Shu but not the other boy with them. Understandably then they were hesitant to take action, only trusting half of this duo before them.

"Relax, we're friends." Takeshi spoke up, walking towards the gates with a smile. Getting a few sharp weapons pointed his way as a result he halted in his step, sighing and putting his hands up. He'd figured this would happen, but it was bothersome nonetheless. "We want to speak to the Queen, it's about the war. We might have an idea that can end it." Keeping a steady eye on the guards he was a bit off put when one of them advanced, holding their blade nearer to his person than he'd have liked. Eyebrow twitching irritably he forced a strained smile, his hands dropping slightly. "Just get whoever is in charge, will you?"

The guard, not overly thrilled with this newcomer, hardly budged as he asked for their Captain. Seeing Shu there was a little reassuring, as they knew he was a friend, but this boy was an uncertainty. "Watch your tongue, we don't take orders from you. However, if you're with that boy then our Captain will hear you out." Not taking his weapon away the guard turned his head and shouted to the others, one of which went inside hurriedly. "Shu, is it...? Who is this boy and why is he here?"
"I'm Shu's brother, if that means anything to you." And it certainly seemed to, but not what he had hoped. The other guards who had been at the entrance moved forward too, now having three swords trained on him. Takeshi was fairly close to smacking them each and making them knock it off, but for the sake of their mission he had to refrain and stifle his irritation. "You can trust me... Now please get those out of my face..."

"Your brother saved our Prince, but you've done nothing. You have not earned our trust, and we don't hand it out freely." a guard replied, narrowing his eyes at the Saiyan. He seemed about as pleased with this as they were, no one wanted to be in this situation right now. From behind the group the sound of doors opening up made a few heads turn to see who was coming out. It was L'esta, flanked by no less than eight guards. Immediately the four at Takeshi's throat moved off, turning and saluting their superior. "Sir!"

L'esta didn't really know what to make of what was going on out here. By the urgency of his men he had thought they were under attack, and yet all that was out here was Shu and his brother? Looking at Takeshi he really couldn't understand his subordinates aggression, the boy looked a bit more aggressive than Shu but hardly menacing. "At ease men, they're our friends." the Captain ordered, motioning for everyone to lower their weapons, which they did gradually. Stepping across the open ground L'esta stood before the two boys, smiling at Shu more than his brother. "We didn't expect you back so soon. What can we help you with?"
