Angel would stay still as the small girl approached him, reacting the same as he would if a small cautious animal approached him. He was making sure he didn't make any sudden or threatening movements so as to not startle her. As she asked her first question all he could do was shrug he attempted to find words but none would come out. Instead he just shut his mouth as she made her inspections of him. Then she asked her second question. Could he do this with everybody? It's something he honestly hadn't thought about...
"Well... to be completely and perfectly honest, I have really touched anyone except for you, another human, and a Saiyan. I got the tail from the Saiyan and your hair color... but come to think of it I don't think I got anything from the other human so maybe not everyone? It's something that I would like to test... and at the same time not really sure if I want to know... ya know what I mean?"
He watched her... watching him, to see what she may say or do next. This girl was an enigma to him but to be fair he was an enigma to him so guess they were in the the same boat. Still this girl had definitely peaked his interest...

”Curiouser and curiouser,” she repeated, more to herself than the stranger before her. She raised her hand once more and, delicately, stroked aside locks of his hair, feeling it as it fell from her fingertips. It was just as she had imagined it before, only the soft, teal color of her own. What was he, to be able to mimic by sight and touch alone? Her fingers then trailed a careful way down his cheek, to his chin. She tilted his head up, almost as if she were inspecting some sort of show dog. “Hmm.”
She released his chin and stared up at him with openly curious eyes, a soft sort of smile upon her lips. She had so many questions for him, bubbling up inside of herself. She wanted to know so much. “I’ll make you a deal, Sir Angel,” she offered, a sensual sort of purr as she leaned a bit closer to him, not quite touching him but leaving only hairs of breath between them. “If you’re up for a deal.”

Not gonna lie Angel was a bit uncomfortable as she studied him and moved around his head. But he figured he wouldn't protest he had already upset this poor girl so he held his tongue though he was a bit tense. He waited still unsure of the words she used but again he let it go just waiting for her to finish her investigation. Then she had apparently come to some conclusion as she smiled and spoke to him in a very curious manor. A deal huh?
"Oh? Ok... What kinda deal do ya have in mind?"
He asked her curiously. What did she have in mind? What was he about to walk into? To be completely honest he was unsure what he was walking into but, hey. Where is the thrill of life if you don't do things outta the blue.

“I have ways to find out who and what you are,” she told him, tilting her head to one side and exposing her neck in an obviously submissive way. She wanted him to know that she was no challenge or threat, that she was the furthest thing from dangerous that he could have stumbled upon. She smiled a gentle sort of smile and placed her hands upon the gentle curve of her hips, waiting for a moment for that knowledge to sink in before she bothered to continue. “While you are fighting in the tournament, I will gather information for you. I will report back to you my findings when the tournament is won.”
Her eyes flashed for but a moment as she realized exactly what she was asking of him. She was offering him what he wanted, more than anything, and in return… she was asking for what she wanted, more than anything. It was a difficult task, of that she was certain, and she could only hope that he was up for it. “However, there is something you have to do for me.” Her voice dropped to something akin to a whisper as she contemplated everything. She knew she was walking a tight rope without a net, but if she wanted anything done, she would have to take the risk.

She had definitely peaked his interest. Find out who and what he was? That was something he couldn't pass up. But at what cost. He did take note that she seemed very non aggressive something he was still trying to get used to... Still what could it be that she wanted? Would it harm him? Would it actually cost him as in literal money? Of which he didn't have much... Still nothing ventured... and all that.
"What... What exactly did you have in mind?"
He watched her carefully, he didn't suspect her to do anything herself at least not at this point in time, however that did not mean that she wasn't leading him into a trap. He would stay cautious but an offer like this... it was more than he could pass up. The possibility of learning anything new about was exciting but he couldn't show her how much that meant to him. He betrayed nothing except for the light in his eye. The light of hope. Had he just succeeded in finding the one person on this planet that could help him?

She could see his caution, worn like a second skin to protect him from whatever might come his way. He was leery of her, which she thought was admirable. Even as submissive, as weak, and as non-confrontational as she appeared, she could be an aggressor in disguise. A soft sort of smile touched her lips as she continued to look upon this man that wanted so desperately to trust her.
“Nothing you weren’t already planning on doing,” she murmured with a light sort of chuckle. She gave a shake of her head, reaching out to delicately touch his wrist. It wasn’t a move meant to instill fear or to upset him, but to instead allow him to see just how harmless she really was. “I just want you to… win. Win the tournament. For me.”
She knew the inclinations that came with such a bold statement, but she hope he was ignorant to what it could possibly mean in many different societies and, instead, that he took the deal at its face value. She did not want to marry this stranger; oh no. She did not ever want to marry. That was a human luxury that she, as an Android, simply could not be afforded.
However, he seemed to be her only hope, just as she was his. Perhaps he could be her pathway to freedom.

Angel was alarmed at first when the girl reached for his wrist. Though after seeing she had no intent at harm he calmed down and accepted the touch. Win huh? Ok... He stared at her for a moment unsure of what to think she had just asked him to win the tournament, which to be honest WAS his intentions so it's not like it he was doing something he didn't want to happen. But still... He looked her in the eyes as he spoke.
"Winning is what I intend to do... but why are you so intent on me winning? Whats in it for you?"
He knew not of her reasons. It could be as simple as she saw him as a good friend even in this short span of time that they had been talking. However it could have deeper meaning. Was there something else? Is he just being paranoid? Still he couldn't shake this feeling of something looming behind her words, yet... maybe he didn't care? Is it possible that he come to trust this little girl in this short time? Well she was the first friend he had made on this planet so that counted for something. As he waited for her response he had made the decision that no matter the answer he would accept her terms.

The Android’s tiny hands held one of his, lightly stroking his palm with her delicate fingers. She traced along the lines that crisscrossed, promising her his future. She hadn’t ever been able to master the art of palm reading, but in that moment, she saw everything he could accomplish. She knew that she would, eventually, shock him if she continued holding his hand, but she found she didn’t want to let go. He was her only hope… She knew she would have to be honest with him if she expected anything in return.
“Freedom…”
Her single word was a whisper that fell from her lips, something she obviously savored, like the perfect dessert. Her gaze became distant, her features softening, as she thought about what freedom meant to her. She would be able to escape the bonds she had been shackled in for nearly thirty years. She would, one day, be able to go wherever she wanted, do whatever she wanted to do, without being bombarded with rules. “That’s all I want…. Freedom…”

He watched as she held his hand and trailed the lines in it. It was interesting to watch and it felt... pretty good. He finally relaxed and let the movement sooth him. He was however a bit too relaxed he didn't catch what she had just said to him. But as he opened his mouth to ask her to say it again she spoke. Freedom? What could she possibly mean by that?
"Are... are you a slave?"
He immediately dropped his hands to look at her with concern. That was the most upsetting thing he had ever heard. His friend, his only friend, was only viewed as a possession to someone, something, else. The more he thought about it the more his blood began to boil.
"Who- no, What did this too you?"
His voice was raised he was obviously angry.
"Just point me in the right direction and I will ensure that they will no longer hold you down. Or anyone else for that matter..."
As he finished speaking the sentence would trail off. He had just suggested something about someone he knew nothing about, but at the same time if this person was willing to enslave others was there any kind of redeeming factor? It was food for thought... but he would make that judgement after he met the person that forced her into servitude.

The smile upon her face faded away to a look of distant sadness. This stranger, this man she had just met, was willing to do whatever it took for her to be free. She hadn’t ever admitted to a stranger that she was a slave, and his reaction was quite the interesting one. He did not dismiss her outright, nor did he scoff and tell her to leave his presence. She was nothing but a possession, to be used and abused however her Lord saw fit. She swallowed back the fear that touched her, dropping her gaze from his own.
“It is not that simple,” she said, softly. She held her hand before her face, staring at the smooth, sanded down skin. There were no lines to mar it, no future for her to behold. There was nothing for her unless her Lord suggested it. “My Lord… He is in the tournament.” What could she say to him? How much information could she trust him with? The dangerous thought continued to creep through her mind: what if he was her Lord’s friend, investigating her? Perhaps he knew of her plan.
She sighed. Did she really have any other options? There was nobody else she could possibly trust. She clenched her fingers into a tight little fist, trying hard to forget why she had no future, before releasing her fist and running her fingers through her teal colored hair. “If you win… If you… defeat him…” Her voice trailed off quietly, arms wrapping around her thin body. She hadn’t realized she was shaking until that moment, her tiny body quivering as she held back her uncertainty. “I could… I would… I can be free.”

Seeing this poor girl in this condition and hearing the tremble in her voice pulled heavily on his heart. How could anyone do something this awful to such a tender soul... Angel reached out and put his hand on the girls shoulder hoping to comfort her even if only a little. He would look at her and if she turned to look up at him he would be wearing a soft gentle smile.
"Then I will win, for you. I promise."
He said the last two words with full conviction. He had no intention of letting her down. He was going to make sure he either won or died trying.

His touch startled her. It was gentle, caring, almost opposite of the touches she was used to receiving. Despite herself, she almost expected him to hit her, to slap her across the face, or to throw her down to the ground to be used as she was meant to be. She flinched away from him for but a moment, but when he remained constant, consistent, she dared to lift her face, eyes shining with uncertainty. He looked down at her with a smile that was contagious, making her lips tug upwards ever so slightly, her body still quivering from fear. She had just asked him to do the undoable, to make possible the impossible. How could she expect this stranger to win her freedom for her? How could she put that upon his shoulders?
Before she had time to hate herself, he promised her victory. Her quivering subsided, slowly but surely, until she could meet his gaze with the same, misplaced confidence she had possessed moments before. Her head tilted to one side curiously, the smile growing upon her youthful face. She blinked once, twice, three times, slowly, before letting out the breath she hadn’t realized she had been holding. Breathing, after all, was no longer necessary for the pretty little Android.
“Th… Thank you…” she whispered. Her voice was still soft, despite the hope beginning to flood her circuits. She might have a chance of leaving Namek a free Android, no longer enslaved to the cruel and uncaring. She had a chance to be the ghost of what she had wanted to be as a child. She might have a future, not dictated by the Lord who cared less for her than he did for the tail he swung elegantly from side to side. She might have something… She might have hope.

He was worried he had made the wrong move when she started shaking and shying away from his touch. But then she warmed up and became more comfortable, even... smiling? He was glad that she was feeling better and then she thanked him to be completely honest he didn't think it was necessary. He would have helped anyone in her situation. But I guess it meant more to be helping out a friend.
"You're very welcome. I'll do my best to help you get out of the situation as quick as possible. As soon as the tournament comes around I'll kick ass all around until I find and defeat the man that is holding you down."
He took a step back and rubbed the back of his head with a chuckle.
"At least the tournament is tomorrow so you won't have to wait long, and I doubt anything will happen to postpone the tournament so lets be thankful for that."

She remained where she was, almost as if planted into the ground, and tilted her head slowly to one side. She listened carefully to everything this man said, committing it to her database verbatim. She wanted to be able to recall this moment whenever she could... It was as if her hopes, her dreams, had a spark of reality. Perhaps it was true. Perhaps he would be the one to free her from the cruel, uncaring hand of her Lord. "Thank you," she said again, voice softer, almost kinder, as she continued to stare, unblinking, at him. When she distracted herself, sometimes it was difficult to remember to appear human.
"The tournament should go off without a hitch," she said, then, and turned her head away from him. She had studied the people, over and over again, that had registered early for the tournament. She had spent weeks reading races, abilities, everything she could possibly get her hands on. "I will be spending most of it in the VIP box, but when I am allowed my free time... There is a library I would like to go look at. It might have some information."
It was an arduous task, of that she as already quite certain. She would need to be as studious as she could manage, but she already had excuses lined up for her to present to her Lord. She knew that she would be able to get away from him, especially when he wasn't dangling her in front of his cohorts like a shiny toy in front of a cat. A smirk touched her lips only briefly before it was washed away. She had other things to focus on.

Angel nodded. This all sounded good to him, though its not like he know what to do in these situations. He was just glad he found someone who did.
"Thank you as well, that sounds good to me. I will do my part as you are doing yours and maybe together we will work everything out and we can be happier for it at the end. That is my wish anyways."
He looked at her and smiled. She was truly something. He hadn't known her long but she was quickly becoming someone he cared for... though that could be dangerous. What did he really know about this girl... Right now he guessed that he didn't really care.
