She didn't respond...kind of...processing his words. Just a little. And stared back at him for the longest time.
"Well, I'm not gonna throw words at you while you can't talk back." She would turn and move to amble out. She had to take the ship off lockdown...take them back towards Namek.
The way he spoke made it seem like he cared about his parents and King's reactions...but she let him have his words, for now, instead starting to deliberate if she wanted to. If it was worth the fight.

Okara watched her leave, curious. He had tried to give her the opportunity for payback but she refused. Taking the high road....that wasn't like her. Clearly he was getting through, or maybe she'd just had time to come off the high of the last several days.
He was healed in three hours- his injuries were far less than hers. Emerging from the tank, he would towel himself off and dress. Assuming she was there, he would glance at her.
"Thanks for waiting- guess I'm never gonna live down doing the opposite to you, huh?"
He would pull clothes on, looking at her.
"Go ahead and throw your words. I've been waiting."

He really was a jerk.
She'd come back about half an hour ago and had done nothing but stare at his face the entire time, even as he emerged and dried off.
Throw words at him?
She frowned and actually made a face.
"Throw my words?"
Not impressed.

He cocked an eyebrow, pausing in his underwear.
"Before you left- you said you wouldn't throw words at me while I can't talk back."
He smirked.
"Was flicking you shit. Y'know. Like we do."
Sheesh, how could she not be getting this?

"I said I wasn't going to while you were in there, true. But you were the one throwing them at me."
She quirked her head...then sighed.
"Truth be told I still don't know what to do." She eyed him. At least she was being honest, even if she didn't really know. "You really want to show up and have your parents freak, disgrace your King, blah blah, by having me on your arm?"
She lifted an eyebrow.
"When before you said that was one of the reasons you were gonna leave?"

Okara would pull his pants up, listening. He stood shirtless, watching her speak. He tilted his head to the side.
"Truth be told, I said it because it's what you wanted to hear. Or...what I thought you wanted to hear. Opinions matter to you- or seem to. Even opinions of those who don't matter. There is a saying we have on Earth- too many people waste or spend their whole lives building themselves up to spend time on things they don't need or want, to impress people they don't know or like."
He pulled his shirt on finally.
"If given the choice, I wouldn't hesitate. I'd be proud to have you on my arm."
He turned to get his armor, to hide the blush those words brought out. Perhaps he...said too much?

She stayed quiet as he spoke...and let a little rumble sound after he finished...feeling uncomfortable.
"...guess it would cause quite the stir." She shifted a little. "...wonder why the Guardian wanted to kill us, though..."
Maybe he smelled..? But that made little sense, considering he seemed to clearly be a hybrid of Saiyan and Ice-Jin parents, himself.
And she'd never gotten the chance to ask.
But it still bothered her... The Guardians were...given a sort of high regard not lightly given. Going against them was a thing...one never did. So she'd done that already, right?
Hmm...

"Yeah. That's an understatement."
He would think to himself about the same question. He finished pulling on his armor before he finally responded.
"Personally....I think we were just an inconvenience to him. The Saiyans who were torturing him....I think they must have known he was a bad egg. We need to find King Vegeta and discuss what happened with the former Guardian. Why he was taken and what they were trying to find out."
Okara had plans.
Many plans.

Aisuko...didn't really know how to respond to that.
"Obviously Guardians are not treated with the same sort of respect on your planet. One of the few reasons I did not kill the Arkosian Guardian or Vo was the fact they are the Guardians."
She frowned a little.

He shook his head.
"To be honest, I am a bad example on how Earth treats it's guardian. I was raised in that house, away from most people. I'm an earthling but....not. I'm a Saiyan but....not. I have no real world to call my own. Just another sacrifice I made for my father."
He gave a little smile.
"I treat a Guardian the same way I'd treat anyone. Like a person. Their titles mean nothing to me. I respect King Vegeta only because my parents wish it. It's not as though I hate them. I do love them both dearly."
He would walk over and plant himself next to her on the ground, laying back.
"They just piss me off sometimes, as childish as that sounds. Guess it's what parents do."

"I was meaning those on Vegeta. I doubt anyone on Arkosia would dare torture a Guardian, even if they were from another planet." She moved her shoulders in a slight shrug.
She nodded a little at his words, otherwise.
"...should probably head back to Namek."
But she didn't move.

He would look at her back, at the small shrug.
"Probably."
He furrowed his brow, reaching his hand out to place it gently on her back, the palm warm.
"You okay?"

She remained fairly still at his touch...and gave a soft, ponderous hum.
"Yeah. Just deliberating..."

He searched the back of her head.
"I see."
He would sit up, hand still on her spine.
"....I'll go with you if you want."
Not that she needed him to. Just...if she wanted company.

"I thought you were coming, regardless."
She turned her head to raise a brow in a catty gesture.
"..."
Her jaw worked a little. She'd already lashed out at her Guardian. Defied him by bringing Okara back to life and staying alive instead of allowing him to kill her...
Why not raise some more hell while she was at it?
