Come gather! We have much to say! (Closed)

The demon boy was walking around, taking in the sights. Everything was quite odd to him, he didn't really understand how he should feel about himself for the time being, but he wanted to just calm down and relax, he had much on his mind to think about. Though he could use someone to talk to, a friend perhaps. To be honest it didn't have to be a friend, nor did it had to have any talking or fighting. It could just be meeting somebody new or just sitting around with nothing to say. Time to think was very scarce and it was very nice when it was obtained.

But before too long, Bernael would see just what he needed, someone he certainly considered a friend, Tau. He decided to head over without a word, and look at her as she was laying back in the grass, with a blade of grass in her mouth. It was all very picturesque, but the boy didn't mind that all too much, a friend and a relaxing scene was something he certainly needed, so he would just slowly walk over and lay down next to her without a word. He didn't want to disturb her own peace if that was what she was going for, so he just sat back in thought as he waited there near her.

This planet sure did throw him in a loop. Almost so he wished he'd chosen namek to lay low rather then the strange Earth Mis... The fallen had told him of. The mysterious way things were, Just left him curious and foolishly sniffing for more information. Like a hound that just couldn't turn away from the scent. The blue haired smuggler wasn't far off. Looking down from a tree up high a ways off at the edge of the forest. Looking at what vexed him so. The strange beings he'd seen before... The red haired boy. That for some reason showed such dumbfound willingness to give a hand to injury to in battle when he hardly knew the warrior. A girl who if he had to guess held some decent power for how she spoke when he'd seen her once before. A native human if he had to guess but still as a native if he was right. She spoke of leading away from dangers to scare off then anger an commit further acts of danger to lay her dominance. If this was a outer world those who held power (If she truly did) Would stand kings, warlords, Bosses of entire cities or villages. 

His nails digging into his palm as he relaxed at the branch looking out at them. A little blood dripping from his fist like grip. Not aware of it though. Within scouter distance though as well... He'd been lost in his thoughts and not realized how close he'd gotten before perching in this tree. But one of the most vexing mysterious had him hooked. The final one to make the scene... The armor clad saiyaness. He knew this one had power... Tricks up her sleeve. An yet like the others... There was no jump to dominance. For a saiyan no less! Even the alliance would have had some hierarchy or some control. But this... Even having the words of justice from before and a bit of the word Guardian being passed around. Guardian... He'd heard many of that furry tailed damned race claim to be things. Conqueror, Kings, Slayers, even Khan on one occasion.... But never Guardian. "You just don't want to accept it... That things could be different..." He'd bite down into his lip hard. Trying to dull his thoughts. Sure things could be different... he'd thought it many times. Settle down somewhere and maybe make more then just a life of transport ships and thievery. Leave behind the hunting of wanted men or stealing for a living. But to his bones he'd always feel that urge to leave and take to the stars. He was a bastard of no confirmed race. A child raised by whores and the lowest of life. Seen the worst of most empires... An in all this time still. This strange sight of people that if he was right in his speculation. Could stand like kings on this planet. Chose instead a more calm and peaceful path. "It should be something good... to see something so different. Yet it vexes the mind so." 

He'd scratch at his chin and shoulder. At his shoulder over the sleeveless arm of the saiyan body suit he wore. Military like more common pants worn over the legs and black combat boots over his feet. The look of a mercenary more then a soldier. A soldier of fortune perhaps. "It could be? It could be different?" His mind teasing him as he allowed such ludicrous thoughts to enter his brain as these strange people made his brain itch with curiosity and confusion. "Thing's aren't ever really the same... Maybe I don't belong here." Feeling that sensation again. That one when perhaps he knows he's sniffing onto a good thing. It makes him want to turn tail and high tail it the other way. He never had anyone... never needed anyone! He was strong and had got one over with his quick wits and sharp tongue on even the most deadly of law systems in the galaxy. No... he didn't need anyone. He was perfectly content. Wasn't he? He'd wonder trying to ignore the fact as he weaved this story for himself he was still sitting here... Still watching. His tail hanging behind him swaying bellow the branch he was sitting on. Another a little higher that he leaned forward on resting his arms and chin on. Lazily looking out at the warriors,... people laying in the sun. AS he'd reside himself to the darkness. "If thats true... Is that why we always end up here? From the outside looking in?" Trying to push back the thoughts rather then remember when in fact he'd been in similar situations. Watching a crew or kind set of souls from a far. Perhaps not the same as these ones but figuratively perhaps. An then before long just slipped away silently for another adventure and set of new faces. Hard to know or he just lied to himself it was simply forging a new path forward or running away from the one behind him. 

The demon boy would chuckle lightly, seeing his friend so uppity. He smiled back to her calmly while responding. "I am quite good Tau, and sorry I just sort of sneaked over here, I didn't want to disturb you or anything so I tried not to talk" he would say, looking back up to the sky. His smile was true as it was always good to see friends, he had certainly learned that recently and he would lay his head back into the grass. But before much else could be said, another friend would appear.

He always liked being around Atsuko, something about her gave a calm and good vibe to him. Even if sometimes he was sort of iffy about her behavior, nothing would change the good times he's had with her and thus he was very happy to have two friends nearby, especially the first two he met after leaving home. "Yeah it is pretty nice, all three of us haven't really been able to hang out all at the same time, its been serious when all three of us were together lately, buts its certainly nice to see you too Atsuko." he would say, following after Tau had spoken.

There was a certain contentedness in the air for him, his mind would just flow with good memories that he had, and how far everyone has come since that first day. He wasn't just some kid with determination and a big need to be trained, there was a big change since that time. However, he wasn't the only one to change, everyone among the group was very much growing, and he liked it. Together with his pals he felt near invincible, as they were all very strong, and pretty much a team. A light sigh would flow out of his mouth as he smiled staring at the sky, mumbling "This is definitely not a hassle~" to himself once, enough for the other two to hear but it definitely had a nice relaxed tone to it.

Because of the time of peace and supposed calmness that was among the three, the boy failed to tell that someone he personally called a friend, but could potentially just be called an acquaintance, was nearby. If the boy had taken the time to put his guard up and sense nearby, he would easily be able to detect the person he had run into multiple times in the past short while. It was a sad mistake that Bernael didn't try to sense just yet, if he had done so he would have invited the person over to hang out with them, maybe without any fighting going on, and with the absence of too many people, Bernael would be able to get people used to his blue buddy. As for the time being not many people seemed to warm up to the man, from what he could see. Especially after some of the things that happened in recent days.

He sat perched watching in near silence. He couldn't see scouters from this distance and hopefully given all the powers on this planet and his distance if they did have them he was not directly in range. The thought of their sense talk trickling back into his thoughts but he had no idea personally how that worked himself. He'd heard of such skills but didn't know personally how to do such a feat. He'd just have to hope his way of remaining silent and still like a normal tracker and hunter would work. Staying to his tree only giving light movement when he saw it. So that's where white saiyan came from... He could see the tail now just lightly as his eyes focused as best they could. His own blue tail twitching lightly at this sight to behold. 

With a rustle lightly he dropped from the tree's branches. Landing on his feet and quick to crouch. Ready with quick stealth movement like a blue fox. He still had only rough estimates on these peoples power. But his curious ears refused to let him keep away. He was fast on his feet and had a few techniques to move even faster. Jetting across the lands with what speed he could muster. If they were gonna feel him or whatever they talked about prior. Or had scouters activated he'd take the gamble they would have done it already. Within a few moments making little sound more then a rabbit moving through the grass. He'd press strongly against a tree more close by. his speed amplified by a few tricks he hoped would have given him the speed he needed to remain hidden as he moved from spot to spot before stopping at this tree. Allowing him to pick up on what was being sad. Preferring to stick to the shadows and the unseen areas then approach. "If it goes south... I should be able to make it back to the trees and escape..." He'd think to himself. Not sure if he was just trying to convince himself or not. 

The field behind him here and there would have small areas where the grass had been matted down from the hard steps of his quick movements. A bit of sweat at his brow now as he hid behind a nearby tree close enough to be within earshot. He couldn't see them now not risking to peer around. Merely using his ears to see in a sense.

He'd let out a light sigh to the strange way the white tail spoke. Almost unsure if she was actually a saiyan now from such odd choices of words. "These people never cease to surprise me." Keeping his thoughts in his own mind. It was a growing mystery only leaving him with more questions then answers. Saiyans were this soft and these humans as well were such a mystery. Tau was it? and Bernael... For a moment he thought of similar people in his last crew that were like that. The kind of people that dream of better days and change. Talking of what will happen after the next big score or striking against or stealing from the evils of the universe. "Soft hearts and ideals... Those just get you killed in this universe..." He'd think to himself once more. He pressed tighter against the tree. His back pressing into the bark almost to a point it was becoming lightly painful. Tensed wanting to hear how these people responded. What her 'friends' would speak to her little moment of bleeding out to them. 

Unable to resist just barely half a inch in angle would reveal just a edge of his eyes. Peeking out over the edge as silently and carefully as he could. Hearing was enough to a point. But something about this made him just have to see it as well. His hands trembling lightly given he was within the vicinity of three of the if he was right stronger warriors of this planet. "Idiots... The lot of em. Just fucking fools..." Hearing in the back of his head like a whisper after. "Then why am I still listening...". His tail uncurled and instead just remaining against the tree as well trying to be kept from sight. His blue eyes looking forward trying to see and make out what would happen next. He'd use his special ki sight to view through the tree once he got his heart to slow down after the rapid speed he had to use to try and sneak up.

Bernael listened very intently to everything Atsuko had to say to the two of them, it was very good to know that their friend was letting them into her life more, now that she had found it all out. The demon boy would think on her words. Saiyan Prince...? That could possibly be someone that he knew as well, unless there was more than one saiyan prince running around on their beautiful planet, it also seemed that Tau had met this man too, so he was a constant among the three friends. He would just shake his head. "Hey... Tau is right, there is no way that you're going to end up like them. Look at how much determination that you are using to move away from those instincts. Even if you have to put effort into that, you ARE showing that you can!" he would say, intent burning in his demonic eyes. "Also, don't worry about shouldering the thoughts of looking after the entire world. Just because its your duty, doesn't mean others wont want to do that as well, we can help you look after this place you know? I say this as a friend, you'll never have to shoulder that duty alone." he would follow up, a smirk growing on his face.

He was trying to stay happy and understanding, there was no way that learning she was a Saiyan would do anything to him anyways. She had shown so much acceptance with him being a demon, especially with how she was brought up, that he knew in his heart that accepting her was the only option, no matter her race. "If you do happen to stray from your path, you better believe I'll be there to put a stop to you~ But it wont be a physical stopping, I couldn't bring myself to hurt you... I believe absolutely, that with a good talk we would be able to settle anything together..." he would add to what she said before. His smile grew bigger.

At that time, Bernael would start to sense a power, it was one he semi recognized but he didn't worry about it, it was close but it shouldn't prove dangerous to him and his friends, especially with all of them being how they are. He slowly stood up and walked over to Atsuko, grabbing onto her wrist where she held her sword. "Come on... you don't really want to do this do you? Its part of your body. I know you might want to reject what you are because of what you learned about them. But you have to remember to forgive a race for what you have learned about them from others, and try to look at what you can try to believe. You did that with me didn't you? Forgived what race I was because of my personality... because you could tell that not all demons are bad from me. Now look at yourself, you turned out pretty amazingly right? You're kind, cute, strong, determined, and seem very willing to be a protector of others, you never seem to flaunt your power like it is bragging. You're a saiyan... you just need to accept that, you know? Maybe not all Saiyans are bad, what if some are just like you... things like that need to be thought of." he would ramble on, looking at his friend with a light look in his eyes. He was trying to get through this in the best way possible. "However if you want to go through with it still, use my hand to help guide you... Tau and I are here for you, Atsuko" he would say, keeping his hand on her wrist firmly but ready to let go if she wanted him to let go.

Though, it wasn't like everything was that peaceful, Tau seemed dead set on bringing the other power out of its hiding. Bernael was curious about it too, why did it seem so familiar? He was semi focused on the powers location as well, he just didn't know what he was going to be able to do with it. So he kept his firm posture steady as he continued to stand by his friend.

He'd pulled back watching through the tree shortly after a bit of energy seeped back into him as he tried to rest. His eyes after a moment of focus fading into a pure white state as his pupils and irises seemed to fade. He could see them in a much lighter vision and form of seeing. The trees core and listening closely. But they weren't talking about much that was useful. Only small things that were more confusing or uneeded. Exhaling slowly as to not allow his breath to be heard to loudly. He grit his teeth though when they called out. On angrier sounding then the other. "Heh... So they can really sense me." He paused briefly. Regulating his breathing but he was in many ways in a tough spot. He wasn't sure how well they had him pointed down. Or how intense this sensing of theirs allowed. 

He'd draw in a long heavy breath. Closing his eyes and allowing the spiritual sight as he liked to call it fade. His aqua eyes returning to plain color. Losing the effect of the heightened form of sight he could summon. With a moment of suspense he'd with a twist on his heels spin around and slide around the tree. Figuratively like a snake slithering around and revealing itself. His grin in form as well slithering on his face. Only making that low sounding chuckle as he revealed himself. His tail swaying lightly be hind him to and fro like the curious cat's tail. 

Taking a few steps closer to them as his hands slid into his front pockets. His eyes opening shortly after and taking them all into view. Eyeing them one at a time before finally speaking after a long moment. "I see you've got more tricks then I gave you credit for. I'm not used to people catching onto my scent so easily. Guess you all just love to keep moving up on my list of curiosities don't you? An well... I'm sure you know by now I like being the one with the surprises... Not the other way around." Licking his lips briefly and sliding one hand from his pocket and up to his chin. Thinking of the fun he'd had already and what more might present itself. Rubbing his chin for a moment as he seemed to be in thought watching them. Even if he looked relaxed his shoulders and leg muscles were tensed. Ready to move on a moments notice if need be. His tail still swaying back and forth casually like that of a cat perhaps.

The demon boy smiled at the saiyan girl "Of course, we're your friends" was all he had to say before he turned to the new source who was revealing himself, it was in fact blue, his acquaintance that he felt was a friend at the very least, but he wasn't sure how the man felt back about him. He let Tau vent, she probably needed this for the time being, even though it was towards somebody that he enjoyed having around, he wouldn't stop her at all, and just decided to step in when she relaxed back on the ground.

"Yeah Blue... we're all talking about stuff, relaxing as a group of friends..." he said, with a gentle smile on his face. "But yeah we have ways to find somebody who is trying to hide from us.. unless they are suppressing themselves low enough... but, you don't have to hide you know?" he continued on, trying to get more out of the blue man in terms of friendship or trust. "Next time, you can come join us... I know the others might not like it, but I would sure enjoy it, plus if you took that time, you could maybe get them to like you too... you are pretty shady at times, but you can come and get that out you know? Maybe we can ALL come to like you some time..." he would say, trying to push his point a bit farther. Bernael honestly didn't know if Atsuko or Tau agreed with him, maybe they would never like the blue blur, but that wouldn't stop him from trying to get them to like him for a chance at least.

It was then that he just turned back to Tau, sitting on the ground next to her. "Hey... I know he may be a bit odd at times, and not very open to us to make us like him and all that... but I've had a lot of time with him and he's really not a bad guy, for the most part... he helped fight off somebody that was hurting monks... and he has done a lot to be at least a little nice to me... Honestly, he's pretty good if you get to know him... at least a bit, from what I have been able to get off of him" the demon boy would explain, trying to see if he could calm down his friend a bit more.
