Wasabi rose from his bow, Aisuko instantly forgotten. His face one of unabashed confusion. "What did you just say." Desperation dripped from his every word, as he took a step towards Hail. Wasabi's emotions were swirling in his head. Makyo Star; the hell was that?
From a glance he could tell that Hail exuded the same vibe as Aisuko; the disgust radiated off of the Arkosian in waves. Like they were above everyone. Maybe they were related? Or maybe Ice-Jin were just like that. Normally that was his trigger, but right now Wasabi could care less if they looked down on him, he needed answers. The desire for knowledge burned in the pit of his stomach. In his desperation he forgot his manners.
"Child of the Makyo Star, what does that mean? What's a Makyo Star?"

Hail shook his head.
"The Makyo Star. The home planet for Makyo-Jin such as yourself... you may be too young to remember it's destruction perhaps. You Makyo-Jin are always such loyal and strong mercenaries."

Dahveid would cock a brow. So...his reputation preceded him.
"If you think your sister is fragile, you've been away too long. And her strength far surpasses anyone else here, outside myself and my son. Including you, Lord Hail. She absolutely has the potential for victory. The tournaments are timed- if there is no clear winner, the judges rule in favor of one. And besides...it's not like I'm out to kill her and her entire family line, else it would be a very different kind of battle, wouldn't it?"
He stared rather blatantly ait was clear this boy was the one underestimating his sister. Dahveid would turn to look at the little bug thing that approached, but said nothing

"Makyo . . . Jin."
He tried the word out, his face a blank slate. He didn't know how to feel. Relieved at the fact that his quest for his origins was pretty much wrapped up in a few simple words? Sad that his home world that was apparently destroyed before he was old enough to even remember it? Angry that his parents had somehow abandoned him on Earth, leaving him to fend for himself? He chose not to focus on his emotions, those would come later. Right now he had a rare opportunity for some answers.
"So . . . My race -- Makyo-Jins serve as . . . mercernaries for you."
He let it sink in before continuing.
"The star . . . completely destroyed? How?"
Feeling the gaze of the large saiyan, Wasabi would shoot him an awkward glance.

Hail twitched a bit. Either this Saiyan was under estimating him, or worse he spoke the truth. It at least waranted investigating.
"I wish all of your kind worked for me, very versatile. Sadly I employ only a hand full of them. As for its destruction? Some say the sun of the ssystem exploded, others say meteor. I have not looked into it myself. Though if you are competing then you must be strong. Wish to join my army?"
Why not recruit? He may be Makyo filth, but they were food to have around, like Sage. Loyal, strong, useful. Unlike those monkeys getting full of themselves at every power boost they get.

He would stare for a second longer.
"I'd think twice before joining an Ice-jinn's war group. They tend to squeeze their fighters for every drop, then throw them away like discarded trash when they're no longer useful."
He would grin.
"Perhaps, instead, you'd like to join King Vegeta's army. We're always looking for new warriors."
If only to stick it to Lord Hail.

He was being offered . . . a job?
A strange turn of events indeed. He bit his lip in thought, coming to a decision. After a pause of hesitation, Wasabi spoke up.
"I appreciate the offer, and I'll consider it . . . But I'm very competitive. So if you'd let me prove my strength to you, against one of your other Makyo-Jins -- sir, I'd greatly appreciate it."
Wasabi came across as an awkward, brown noser; an intentional choice. He'd deal with people like Hail, even if he acted nice enough, Wasabi could still feel the arrogance just pouring off of him just from the way he phrased his words. Wasabi wanted the opportunity to meet one of his own kind, and question them personally . . . and maybe pick up some Makyo-Jin tricks at the same time.
It was at this point the saiyan spoke up, offering him a job in another army. Wasabi blinked, clearly taken aback. When had he gotten so popular? Was his race's reputation as mercenaries this respected?
"Ah . . . yes. I certainly have a lot to think about. Again. If you wouldn't mind I'd like to prove myself in a fight before offering myself."

Hail gave Dahveid a side ways glance from his words, but would not refute them. Instead he would raise his hand and chuckle again. This Monkey was beginning to annoy him.
"Hmm the only one on planet right now is Sage... I'll have him meet with you after the tournament. Wouldn't want to break any official rules... Anymore official rules."
This time Hail would laugh without raising his hand to cover his mouth.

Wasabi allowed himself to feel a prickle of happiness, smiling at the news. "Thank you, sir. Again, I appreciate it." Wasabi smiled politely as Hail began to laugh.
'What a weirdo.'
Sneaking a look between Davheid and Hail, he could sense the obvious tension between them. Were they enemies? He shook the question away. It wasn't important, he was finally going to meet one of his kind thanks to Hail, and he might be able to learn a thing or two from Davheid. His grin broadened at the thought. Finally he turned back to Aisuko, still smiling.
"So princess, I guess we may see each other in the tournament."

Aisuko had to bite her tongue during the exchange, so as to not say anything.
If he was going with Hail he would be mostly out of her hair. Mostly.
And then—he spoke to her again?
"I hope not."
Aisuko abruptly stood and walked away. Back to the food, even with her plate only being half-finished.

Seemingly unaffected by her standoffish attitude, he waved as she turned to leave. "Have fun." Wasabi grinned, still thoroughly pleased. Teasing her was pretty fun, especially when he was protected by tournament rules. Watching her go, he had a moment of panic as he realized he was staring. Was it perverted to be staring at her tail? He quickly averted her gaze, letting out an airy sigh. He was definitely winning her over, it was just a matter of time.

He turned his gaze back to Aisu- the one he was really there for. He'd walk around Hail to talk with her again.
"We need to talk about you and my son."

"What son?" Aisuko stated in a jarring now-definitely-is-not-the-time manner.
Not with Hail here.

He stared at the back of her bald head, then turned to glance at Hail, then turned back to her.
"You're afraid of the little man with a little mind- the blood? Very well. Come with me."
He'd reach out to take her arm.

Unfortunately Aisuko didn't have eyes at the back of her skull...but she did feel her skin itch as his hand neared. When he touched, she whipped around so fast the only reason her tail didn't smack him was that she held it close to her body.
"Don't presume to touch me."
Her last word was accompanied by as much of a hiss as the word could lend itself to, but daggers of ice flashed in her eyes.
