Aisuko finally sat down some time after her match with...that Saiyan, Okara's dad, the fracking...Storm Dragon happened. She won. She won? She won.
The Jinn had purposefully sequestered herself away to a remote location after dealing with the influx of curiosity after her win...and finally sighed as she slumped in the shade of a tree or two.
And there she quietly contemplated her win. Even as a first round win, beating him...no, she shook her head. It probably wouldn't do much. She didn't actually beat him, the committee decided for them for one reason or another. Better luck next time, perhaps.

"I see I have you alone, this time."
Daveid still wore the same thing he fought her in, his cut patched up. His hands were in his pockets as he stared down at her.
"You fought well."

Ohshit...
Aisuko slowly tipped her chin up to stare at the Saiyan, her tail end giving a set of quivers, like a cat...or maybe a rattlesnake. She didn't stare balefully for now, but there was a sort of wary resentment along with no small amount of pride.
"...so did you."

"Not well enough, clearly. Not my first tournament loss, but definitely the one my people will remind me of."
He took a seat opposite her, legs crossed.
"I have posted the Dragon Core around us to keep people out of earshot. You and I will speak openly and freely now. Afterward, we can go back to public disdain if that is your wish."
He would stare.
"Are you dating my son?"

"And if I don't want to speak to you at all?"
Challenge.
After all, was it any of his business? Not unless he was the sort of parent that controlled every aspect of his kid's life, and even then it was all the more reason to not!

"I'm not asking you to talk about it. I am talking to you, living being to living being. I want an honest answer from you- a yes or a no. One that will stay a secret between you and me forever. In return, depending on your answer, I'm going to tell you a story. One that puts me at risk. One that will again, stay a secret between us forever. That will be our shared burden."
He stared, unwavering and unblinking.
"Are you dating, seeing, sleeping with or otherwise engaged to my son in a manner beyond friendship?"

Her tail vibrated again as the Ice-Jinn's expression dropped to stormy. She would have said she didn't know what it was just to spite him as her temper flared...and then he had to go and expand his question.
She huffed and sighed all at once.
"Put like that...yes."

"Which one? More than one?"
Again- not trying to talk about it, just curious. She could refuse to answer, and he wouldn't blame her.

"More than one," Came the stiff answer as Aisuko's spine straightened like it had too much starch.
She didn't say which ones.

He stared, a small smile coming to his face. They were dating or sleeping together, or seeing one another at the least.
"I see."
He would hook his arms around his knees, hands clasping in front.
"I'm going to tell you a story, Aisuko. At the end, I want to be someone you can trust and confide in. Whether you want to, or not, will be entirely up to you. Either way, I will continue to present myself in the same manner as always- without letting this conversation or your decision sway me."
He would stare off, a little to the left of her.
"Many years ago, before you were born, I was known as Dahveid Cduns Tnykuh. Storm Dragon. I laid waste to more people than could populate a solar system. I was revered, and proud of that."
He would turn back to her.
"Then, my brother, Dahmeen, fell in love with an Ice-jinn."

That small smile made her jaw clench, and his small movement caused her to stiffen more, suddenly on extremely high alert.
She did listen, though it was clear by the intensity of her stare she was waiting for him to make a move.
She was somewhat disappointed when he didn't but his words took her aback.
And then? She scoffed.
Really? Yeah, right.

He ignored it and continued.
"My wife had confirmed, shortly after they were married that she was with child. She hadn't even started to show. As the months went by, their relationship stayed secret. She played the part of a slave, so as to stay with him planetside, and he the part of the monkey master, even slapping her in public. We all spoke about it. That it wasn't healthy for a marriage. But....they were in love."
Dahveid would stare at her.
"The night she discovered she too, was with child, we had drinks to celebrate. To dull our absolute terror that a Saiyan could get an Ice-jinn pregnant. During our drunken night of fervor, we took our celebrations to their bed, and consumated the actions of traitors and usurpers. The next night, they came for my brother, and in a fit of protective rage I killed seven saiyan elites, to protect not him- for they would have let his transgressions go- but for her. You see, I liked her."
He would look to the ground and lick his lips.
"I went to prison for eighteen years."

The young Jinn stared.
That was ridiculous and there was no way it could be true. He fought in wars and helped Arkosians escape. That was why he went to prison. Not this. There was a flicker of fear and panic and other things that briefly winked in and out of existence in her eyes.
"You liked her?! What about your wife?!"
Unless stuff that Okara had said about the two of them was bullshit, somehow. But that was all she managed to blurt out before she smacked a hand over her mouth.

Dahveid, without missing a beat, started laughing.
"My wife? She was there. She liked her too. Saiyans act strong because we are strong- but not only because we are. We have to be. If anyone saw a hint of weakness, they'd cut your throat and take your position. It is our way. But in the end, some of us really aren't that bad- and may even be a little open minded."
He cocked a brow.

Immediately, Aisuko glowered at the laughter.
And then even scowled at his pointed statement.
"You killed seven Saiyan Elites for her and left your wife and son alone for eighteen years in prison?" More intense scowling. "Just because you both liked her?"
Obviously something didn't add up for her.
"Where's your devotion to Keerie or is all that just being open minded?"
Might be crossing the line, but she didn't see it that way. She didn't think Saiyans were the sharing type but maybe she was wrong. In more ways than one if he just took a wife for the sake of taking a wife.
