Rhona felt she spent a lot of time in the air and decided walking would do her some good she'd go through the town close to where the arena was held and walked about. As it turned out a group of kids recognized her. Poked a bit of fun at her losing the first round, but she played the stoic card and bet them none of them could match her and gave them a simple task. As she hovered above the ground she asked them to just pull her down.
Already there were those grabbing her ankles and trying to weigh her down. They tried one at a time some were shorter than the others and she was just playing around. There were two dangling inches off the ground and more grabbed onto them and she just let go of her height. That was good enough, of course they poked more fun with her but they were proud of themselves for taking her down.
"Of course you all ganged up on me and took me down like a team. I might have lost but it is not the first time and it wont be the last. Collectively each battle I fight will make a bigger difference collectively rather than looking at each one individually." Kids will be kids and blow her off but seemed others shared their understanding of her words with the others. She stood up and they took off playing again. She just chuckled as she dusted off her jeans.

Things were quiet.
It was odd, after being reinjected into Saiyan culture, to have things be so...dull wasn't quite the right word. Placid, perhaps, was the more prudent choice. The blonde Saiyan with her hair having a few inches of regrowth sighed as she wandered.
Keeping out of trouble, maintaining a low profile.
It seemed to be the usual, ever since her altercation with Limax.
But the jeers and taunts of children drew her attention, and she quickly noted a fellow blonde that was... A tad recognizable. The tournament, yes. Keerie remained motionless after pulling to a stop, and watched the woman interact with the youngsters.
She felt a slight pang, but remained relaxed.
'I want more children.'
With the children scattering, she decided to move forward, a ghost of a smile curving her lips ever-so-slightly.
"You do well with kids."

Rhona was surprised when someone spoke to her. Looking in the direction of the voice she was looking at probably the kindest looking woman that possibly could exist.
"Oh... ah, yeah. We had a junior defense class back on Earth and I'd often get stuck filling in while my Dad trained the older classes. He was cold and rough with me when I was that little but some kids need to be built up and inspired." she scratched the shaved fuzz on the side of her head and remembered to not be rude.
"I'm Rhona... Rhona Hall." She reached her other hand out to make an official greeting to Keerie.

One of the kindest women...until Keerie decided to fight, perhaps.
But all the same, Keerie tilted her head to the side with interest.
"Earth..? Whereabouts, if you do not mind me inquiring? I resided on the planet with my son for the last sixteen years."
Rhona Hall. Hm. The Saiyan extended her hand to shake the Earthling's.
"Keerie Blaze."
She'd note that the blonde's grip was firm but nowhere crushing, and she gave the impression of giving her the once-over quickly, but with no spite or derision.

Rhona was bad with directions so she waved her finger about trying to remember the general direction and quickly gave up. "I am not really sure I am taking a public mode of transportation to get there. It is a bit bigger than this planet, it has one sun, one moon and is more covered by water than by land. Not a very combat based place, actually can be mildly peaceful, people take martial arts classes and train simply for the enjoyment of it."
The hand shake was equally firm Rhona would be mildly surprise at the actual power that could be felt in her hand. Something was more than meeting of the eye. "So you have a Son?"

Keerie smiled, slowly.
"Oh, I know where it is." She said she had lived there for sixteen years, after all. "I was wondering where on Earth you lived?"
Though her smile was slight her eyes gleamed with amusement.
"I do. His name is Okara."
Ring any bells?

"Ooh, you know I come across so many people who don't know where the actual planet is. Ah... I lived in the mountains west in the U.S. then just moved to the coast soon after my parents passed."
She was a bit embarrassed about her mistake, but that stopped dead in its tracks when she heard Okara's name. It took her a moment to really be sure Rhona heard her right "Oh... Oh that dude hits like a truck and I don't mean your basic everyday truck. Well between him and his... I am going to say girlfriend... a couple of strong fighters they are, " Rhona clutched her side and remembered her recent battle with the Saiyan. She remembered Aisuko also brought the hammer down on her shoulders. She felt the ground give out from beneath her.
"Did he get his skill from you?" Rhona grinned and was not sure what answer she expected but she felt she was going to get the truth no matter what.

U.S. ...yes, she was familiar with that. The blonde nodded, not seeming to mind Rhona's mistake.
Keerie blinked at the young woman's reaction and her lips quirked a little more.
"That would be my son... And he did, but he still has much to learn. He was strong when we left Earth to return to Vegeta...but he has grown exponentially stronger since that point."

Rhona could relate to that, she too was not much until she got here. "Must be the extra suns." Rhona joked and chuckled at herself for making it. Still now her interest was piqued. She would clear her throat before speaking again.
"Hm... maybe I am cruisin' for a bruisin' as strong as Okara is, you must be wicked tough yourself... what would you say if I challenged you to a spar?" Rhona might have looked pretty hopeful but she was not scared at what Keerie might bust out. She wanted to see this facing it head on. She was ready to be taught a lesson.

Keerie actually smiled at that. Brief, but genuine, and full.
"Constant combat also has that effect."
As did dying, she knew, as her smile faded.
But she gave some serious consideration to Rhona, and quietly sized her up a moment.
"I accept your challenge. Do you wish it to just be a spar, and do you want any restrictions in place?"

Rhona placed her hands on her hips. "Now what would either of us gain from it if we restricted things?" She grinned about that but even so... "Still probably just a spar, I wouldn't underestimate the person who is probably strong enough to still give Okara a whooping over her knee."
she would speak to Keerie with the highest respect that Rhona knew how to offer. Parents who teach their kids to have the strength to face the World.. excuse me... the Universe are grand. Parents have a lot to show and children have a lot to learn.

Keerie's head gave a slight quirk before she straightened with a nod, quite pleased with the human in front of her. Not that Keerie would chance going Legendary without Okara or Dahveid nearby (because who knew what sort of destruction she'd sow and reap), but, she wasn't about to take it easy on Rhona, either.
Not that Keerie would max out and break Rhona, but, she didn't intend on letting Rhona off easily, either.
"That sounds fair." She gauged the human, surprised, somewhat, at how strong she was, without being able to get a handle on her true power. But, still, her power slowly began to climb until she was at a comfortable level. One near to Rhona's, at least.
"Come at me, then."
She stood solidly, arms just slightly lifted from her side, hands in loose fists as she stared at the blonde Earthling.
PL: 24,000

Rhona lifted herself to the balls of her feet and bounced forward bringing her arms up as her usual start for battles. She was not tall but then again Keerie was not much taller so it would not be quite a challenge to go low or high like it would be for some others she normally spared against.
"Yes ma'am.." She felt how her gloves were snug around her fingers and threw the first swing sending her right arm outside of her middle and came around. She wanted to see if she could direct her attention as the other fist would follow soon after heading for what would be predicted an opening to through Keerie's middle. Rhona normally started off slow and built momentum as the fight would keep going.
Even as she looked and planned out these openings and diversions she would not expect Keerie to easily be fooled by this kind of thing. "So where on Earth did you and your family stay for sixteen years?"

Rhona would find Keerie quite unlike the opponents she normally fought. With the outside swing Keerie made a direct attack for Rhona's centre, a basic but quite powerful palm strike to knock her back—
"RRAH!"
—and a burst of her ki concentrated against her palm, acting like a short air burst to blow the human back and away. Preferably to hit the ground. Even if her palm strike didn't work, her kiai would.
Provided Rhona still asked, the blonde Saiyan tilted her head.
"When we arrived, we landed in Japan. We moved to the US before Okara could really recall much, so he knows the southwestern States more than anything else."
PL: 30,000
Liao burst: 35,000

Rhona saw her move and shifted back just beyond the reach of her fist but then the Burst came forth adding more range which she did not expect. It was harsh and sent her flying back. She landed on her back and rolled a full circle. Regaining balance and had one arm cradling where she was hit and the other on the ground.
Rhona blew hair from her face and got back up. She'd come forth again and send a foot horizontally to swipe her in the side. Her fists would be close to her chest.
"Oh... we might have even been to the same places then.. My Father took me to Japan during the summer a time or two. And I thought Namek was a small world." She chuckled.
