Day in, day out, Zero has sat at Caffra's bedside, scanning and watching to see if she wakes up.
Thus far, obviously, this hasn't happened, but with no contact with the Tuffle military and no other direction, he has simply waited to see the results of the coma the woman had been put in.
And so, currently, he stands in her room silently, out of the way and motionless.

Nen would phase I with her teleportation and she would smile happily at Zero with her hands resting at her center.
“Hello Zero…” she welcomed gently trying to be quiet. She looked at Caffra and sighed. To be honest she couldn’t understand why the woman was in such a deep state. If Larg and his healing staff did not wake her then she was not sure her own healing may do anything.
She still thought to try and began to hover her hands over the woman’s head and her heart. Her expression saddens as her hands gave off a warm glow. “I’m sorry about this Zero I was incredibly unprepared. Then I thought maybe time would try and help the situation as well as give you time to rest. Your aid was probably what turned the tide. How are you?”
Basic Healing: Healing techniques can use a round to close wounds and stabilize a dying target, or two rounds to fully heal and restore half the targets lost stamina. Healing abilities lower the PL of the user by -10% even if only used for one round.

Zero turns when Nen appears, his eyes opening wider momentarily in surprise at her sudden appearance. However, he knew this was one being who was possibly the least hostile towards him, and he quickly relaxes.
Her question is met with a nod, his voice equally as soft in an effort to mimic hers for whatever reason she'd chosen to be so quiet.
"I am fully operational. All damage I received has healed and repaired. You also appear to be physically recovered, which is fortunate, Guardian Nen."
As always, he refers to her by both name and title, as if he doesn't know the difference.

“That’s good to hear.” She saw her healing wasn’t making much a difference yet. This was a matter of something else, Nen would consider seeking advice on how to better help her from a higher source. She shook her hands and released the spell.
“I have a question for you.” Nen returned her hands to her center and looked at Zero. “Which would you like to prioritize, watching over Caffra or continuing with your growth? I can ask my Betters for aid with her current state if you are worried this feels like a matter beyond physical if she has yet to stir. In the mean time you can come join Mojo and I which we can continue your original objective.”

Zero nods, still watching her attempts to heal, though when it seems less fruitful than first hoped for, he simply meets Nen's gaze.
"I admit, with Caffra currently comatose, I find myself at a loss in terms of direction. I had planned on joining the Tuffle military in order to grow stronger, but without a recommendation or any contact from them, I have remained stagnant."
He pauses for a moment, processing.
"May I ask a question in return? Why do you wish for me to accompany you and the being designated Mojo?"

“I watch all life on Plant, that includes you, it doesn’t feel right just leaving you here to wait and leaving Caffra here to remain. After what you both went through… it could have been the difference in saving many lives. Especially because of my inexperience as a guardian I’m quickly realizing their is much I do not know. Thats why I feel the need to help you instead of leaving you here to be forgotten.”

Zero slowly nods.
"If that is your wish, then I see no reason not to join you and your other acquaintance."

She sighed in relief and smiled again. Her hand came forward to Zero for him to take as she prepared her energies to teleport.
“Mojo and I are increasing our efforts to better defend Plant against similar obstacles as the last he and I opt to study and progress in. However Mojo has enlightened me to the more telekinetic skill which I may dabble in.” She would talk in passive conversation should he decide to take a moment to prepare for departure. “You are a Ki user yes?”

Zero sort of... looks at her hand, unsure of the meaning behind it. However, the growing energies he senses makes him realize it was likely related to Nen's sudden appearance before, and as such, he does take her hand.
"I do utilize Ki, yes."
Zero nods in affirmation.
"Are you not using Ki to engage in telekinesis?"

With the touch of her forehead by a pair of fingers she chuckled. “I asked the same thing but Mojo seems certain they are different power sources. Having done some dabbling in the subject thanks to Mojo’s assistance psionic powers kind of feel a bit different.
In a second the hospital room phased out and phasing in was a meadow with the GMS and some furniture involving a campsite around a small area where she chose to park and remain for a little bit.

What a strange technique.
Zero finds himself looking around, surprised at how far they'd traveled instantaneously.
"Are there other powers as well? I am only aware of Ki and technological assistance, such as the Tuffles use. Psi energy is something entirely new to me."

“Well,” she smiled letting go of his hand and to a table. “We are also practicing magic. That is another.”
She opened a basket with one end and took out a thermos and some cups. Screwing off the top she poured herself some tea in one and set it for free use. Then she brought out a container of various cookie types, popping it open and tossing one between her lips before setting it by the thermos.
With a small bite she would continue to explain rather excitedly. “The healing spell I used was magic. I plan on branching further into the invisible forces that make up the physics of a planet as well as maybe shaping the land itself. I currently can increase gravity and create polarization on objects.”

"Magic."
Zero states flatly, and while it may sound like disbelief, it's actually him just giving a label to another new thing he doesn't understand.
"The feats you mention sound achievable to through the Tuffles' technology. Is one type of energy better than another?"
He's... unsure how to feel about the tea and cookies.

"'Better is not exactly a catch all term in this regard."
Mojo's voice would speak up behind Zero, or at least who Mojo assumed and vaguely recognized as Zero. He has been meditating silently beside the GMS as Nen had returned with her new companion, feeling the universe around him and as they spoke listening to their conversation. At Zero's question however he would float closer, staff in hand, Miji in its pillow in his lap, moving to float idly at the same table Nen and Zedo were at a different position.
"'Better at' would be a more accurate way to ask, specifics. Each energy type has its strengths and weaknesses, and are better suited to differing tasks. It all depends on what you are choosing to accomplish."
