"You think of everything, don't you?" Blaze complimented her partner, giving him an uncertain smile. "What is it you did before the dragon summoned us? You're strong, but really smart, too! Gets me wondering..." she chuckled.

Back on Terra, Rikyu had spent a few moments crouched in front of a curious little item. A contact lens, that presumably was to change a perceived eye colour to green. She thought for a minute... Izaroth was the only one with green eyes, there. Her gaze turned up to the sky as she held the green-tinted lens, and she smiled.
"Well... If I'm right about this, it means you two could reach new heights, and fast. If I didn't stop fighting, where would I be now?" she spoke quietly. When she heard her son call for her, she snapped back into herself and walked back inside.
----------
"Can't imagine the trouble we'd have if you got dust in your eyes during a fight, Izzy!" Blaze joked, starting to hop down the steps from the time machines.
Trunks adjusted the sword on his back and started walking after Blaze. He seemed deep in thought, but he wasn't paying either of the partners any further attention at this point. Well, except for the mandatory: "You two are dismissed. Spend your time doing whatever you want - just be ready. I need to look something up in the Time Nest."
Blaze looked behind her as Trunks headed for one of those strange liquid-like gates, shrugging as she figured it was probably important to him. For now, she waited for Izaroth to join her. "So! ...Where should we go, what should we do?"

"Alright! Don't worry about me, I'm gonna train really hard so I can keep up with my partner, here! Trunks, let's get going?" Blaze asked, seeming much more energetic than when they'd arrived. Trunks gave her a nod, then looked to the sky as a bright light appeared and came down toward the three. The trip home taking a mere second was such a convenient thing... Perhaps this Supreme Kai was the only person in the universe capable of such things?
As the three were about to get swiped up, Rikyu gave Izaroth a Saiyan-strength pat on the back, chuckling before stepping back and letting them be consumed by the energy that'd take them home. "Come back anytime!" she shouted.
----------
With that over, the three appeared back in the Time Nest, just at the bottom of the steps leading into the scroll chamber.

"If you had Saiyan biology, that'd be a-" Trunks stopped, and stared at Rikyu for a moment, then at her fiery-haired daughter behind her. He seemed to be computing something, until he came out with it. "...You said you were a Saiyan, didn't you? So.. that would mean Blaze is like me. My father was a Saiyan, and my mother a human. I wonder if she feels any stronger after the Glacia incident."
Rikyu had decided to shake Izaroth's hand earlier, letting him know she approved of him. When Trunks started questioning Saiyan biology, a smirk came to her lips, "Do you mean to tell me she's already been beaten within an inch of her life?"
Trunks shook his hands at the woman in denial, but that was kind of the entire truth. Glacia was brutal on these two! Feeling he couldn't hide it, he exhaled and nodded, "I'm sorry, it's something I should have mentioned much earlier. Blaze was healed completely in a few hours, however."
"I was more concerned about what that means. Maybe she'll embody a legend, if she survives near-death battles enough times. A Saiyan on the brink of death who survives and recovers receives a significant boost in their power. It's happened only once to me," Rikyu explained.
Trunks nodded slowly. The grin on the mother's face suggested he wasn't about to eat his own sword in retribution!
Blaze soon rejoined the others, hugged her mother, said goodbye to her, and stood back over with her new comrades. "Ash is jealous of my new job~" she remarked proudly.
"We'll see you again soon, Blaze. Remember what I've taught you, hmm?" Rikyu said simply, and waved at the three.

"We wouldn't let either of you two die, the Supreme Kai of Time likes her Patrollers to be well cared for, on and off the battlefield," Trunks explained with more seriousness in his voice, even if he did still seem pained by getting kicked where it hurts. "Mrs. Tsila, you have my word, Blaze is in good hands."
Rikyu looked the man in the trenchcoat up and down, then turned her gaze to Izaroth, examining him the same way. She nodded, unfolded her arms, and smirked at him, "Alright. Then good luck. Just give her a strict training regime. School was slowing her down... She's got potential, but it needs to flourish in real, life and death battles. Push her limits, and I'm sure she'll become a fine guardian of time," the Saiyan concluded. She pushed the door open behind her, revealing Blaze, Ash and their father saying goodbyes.

Trunks said nothing, and fell to the ground writhing in pain.
Rikyu made a pondering hum after Izaroth was done speaking (and kicking his colleague where it hurts!). "As hard as it is to believe, that sounds like a noble enough cause. 'Time Patrol'. You're protecting.. time itself. Or perhaps just history," she mulled it over. For about a second, before casting her eyes over Trunks. "Listen. Blaze isn't to be treated as some random Frieza grunt - if I hear anything like mistreatment going on, I'll find your apparent city and show you how Saiyans deal with scum."
The black-haired, black-eyed woman then turned her gaze to Izaroth, "If you're her partner, I don't need to tell you how important she is to us, and what I'd do should she not be able to return home. You understand..." she told him.
----------
In the dining room, the girl, her brother and father could be heard laughing together. This broke Rikyu's cold demeanour for a moment as she glanced back at the door, smiling like a mother should, before she realised and snapped back into the moment.

Trunks nodded, seeming to catch on after having watched the woman's expressions. There was no doubt about it - she knew they were lying, but it wasn't like she was getting frantic or anything. The ki radiating from her told both the Patrollers that Rikyu Tsila was no stranger to what they were trying to hide.
"I need some fresh air. Blaze, take a seat, enjoy the food with your father and brother," Rikyu said as she got up to leave the room, heading into the lobby to meet with Izaroth and Trunks.
-----
After the door shut, Rikyu decided to speak first. They got her message, more or less, but she had to get the information she desired. "What's my daughter getting into, here? And how did you come to the conclusion she might make a good soldier in whatever scheme this is?" she asked her questions neutrally.

"I look forward to it, Mr Crystalis!" the little Akaviri smiled, "Do you think Miss Arcadia will let me use her alchemy equipment? I am very keen to discover what properties these ingredients might hold. Do you think she could teach me some mixtures, too? This is all very exciting to me!" she cheered before dashing off again through the streets of Whiterun.
And apparently she was a priestess, or something... It didn't show at all by this point!
----------
Aria returned to her desk, leaning back in her chair and throwing her feet up on the desk like always. It was quiet for once... And not that eerie kind, either. She considered trying to take a nap, but sleeping often resulted in the past resurfacing, and lingering at the front of her mind.
'Might be an idea to find something to help that problem... Khajiit traders have things for that, right? Could just go and drink at the Bannered Mare for a while, wouldn't hurt anyone...'

"Nah, I don't believe it! She probably just makes a good mascot!" Ash said, bursting into a mocking laughter before a finger beam like an electric shock impacted with his head, making Blaze's younger brother recoil in surprise and drop his attitude. He glared at his mother for a moment, but couldn't hold the stare against the icy woman for very long. With Ash backing down, Rikyu smiled sweetly, lowered her finger, and returned her gaze to the three.
"How interesting! Global peacekeeping is fun work, but there's very little evil left on Terra. I think I scared almost all the bad people into going legitimate..." Rikyu commented, "Deterring any conflict on the planet is nice enough, I guess. And Blaze will fit right in, I'm sure," she said whilst adopting a more casual demeanour, though her stare never broke from Izaroth. She knew it wasn't the truth, but she wasn't going to blurt that out in front of the worrying father and the bad-mannered boy...
"So, uh, listen everyone. I'll just get it out and say it - I'm going on some specialist training with these two, they're gonna show me how to perform at my best. This could take weeks, months.. I should be able to come home every now n' again, and I'm not in any real danger! It's all controlled, all regulated, and stuff." Blaze gave her short, lacking explanation. Her father seemed to buy it, and frowned slightly. Ash was too busy eating to listen, and didn't catch any it.
Rikyu simply nodded, before returning her gaze to Izaroth.

Blaze chuckled and scratched the back of her neck a little nervously, "There are no snobs behind this door, believe it or not! Mom's a little outlandish, dad's a politician, and Ash is a moron. If you focus, you can sense this weird aura coming from my mom, like she's ready to get violent, but she always seems calm... Don't tempt fate, I guess?" the Time Patroller shrugged as she pushed open the double doors to the dining room.
"Hey, not dead or worse, just went out to find a job, 'sup family?" Blaze told everyone nonchalantly, like there was no problem with disappearing!
"You're still at school." Rikyu deadpanned, having no surprise that the kid was safe and sound.
"I can dream!" Blaze retorted, shrugging again before being hugged by her father. You could tell he was trying to lift her up in joy, but she was too damn heavy! He stopped trying eventually and settled for not being able to lift her.
"I was worried! Where have you been!?" Blaze's father demanded, though he seemed far more relieved than furious.
Blaze stood aside and dramatically waved an arm toward the other two guests. A purple-haired bowlcut, and a white-haired guy. Rikyu immediately seemed interested, seeing how one of them carried a freaking sword into her home! "Co-workers, family; family, co-workers!"
She seemed so much more confident here, where as back in the city of time, she would rather stay close behind Izzy than go explore by herself, or even talk to people. This was more like the kid's real self.
"Hello... I'm Trunks, we uh...?" Trunks said quite sheepishly, looking to Izaroth to resolve the 'who the hell are we pretending to be?' question.
