He'd been here about a week and he still couldn't get used to this planet. The gravity was so light compared to Planet Plant, and the suns. Dear God they never went away. Time just sort of bled together under this perpetual daylight. And his sleep schedule, his poor sleep schedule was all out of whack. He'd taken to having his room equipped with black out curtains just to make sure he could get some sleep. He didn't know how these Namekian's dealt with no nighttime. A week in and he was already itching to go back home.
"What I wouldn't give for an overcast day at least."
He grumbled to himself, laying on the grass and rolling slightly to his left in an attempt to keep the suns from glaring right into his eyes directly. He just wanted to relax a little bit while his computer program back home went through the scenarios he'd programmed into it. And he'd not yet had a chance to really appreciate the local flora and fauna all cooped up in his room with his tools. And while the grass was nice, and the breeze pleasant. The suns, those blasted suns!
Right now they were the bane of his existence.

Rhona was flying over head. Her wounds were in smaller bandages but they were still refusing to heal. Se was not going to do some intense training just come back to the outdoors and gather some energy. Meditate maybe.Just out side of the city there was a river and on that river there was an island with a massive funny shaped tree. It was her favorite place to train and meditate.
She spotted someone. He actually looked human, but not like anyone she had seen in a while. Lowering her altitude she decided to investigate. Her bow tapped her back as she dropped. She still liked to keep it around but she noticed after so many long years it was starting to become weak against her swings and knocks. It made cracking sounds the last time she used it and decided it was time to retire The Hand. The cheesy name she came to call it as it had a carved fist on each hand. this week It was best used as a walking stick while she healed.
The man had a computer and it was one she had never seen. Just recognizable enough to no doubt be a computer though. "I am going out on a limb here and say you are not from Earth?" She finally spoke while still floating above him.

He rolled over again just in time to see a woman land. Scrambling to his feet quickly he glanced around to see how many others there could be. His first instinct being that this was an ambush or an attack. The panic only lasted a second before he snapped back to reality. The peace summit. Obviously there were going to be all kinds of weirdos and aliens here with their freakish abilities.
"O-oh? Uh. No. No I'm not."
His words came out in a croak as his brain scrambled through everything he knew that could help him. Sapient species. Very similar to him. The lack of tail was a good thing. Meant she wasn't a Saiyan. And Earth. Earth... He'd heard that one before. Then the light bulb went off in his head.
"Ohhhhhhhhhh. You're one of them Humans."
Yeah, this was fine. Totally fine.

Rhona looked him over, he looked human and he did not have a tail either. It was not a saiyan but other than random skin colors and tails this guy looked more human than anything she had seen since the androids or Leon. But he was smarter than she was taking a good guess to her own race.
She'd give a big smile, "Yeah, I'm human. My name is Rhona, Rhona Hall." She'd come down to his level and out stretch a hand as she greeted everyone this way.

He looked at her hand for a moment. Briefly considering the possibility that she would blast his hand off with a concentration of Ki energy. A troublesome prospect in it's own right, but doubly so if she were to do it to his dominant hand. That would make designing and installing a cybernetic replacement harder. However, after just a brief moment he considered the likelihood of that happening to be minimal.
"Bana. Bana Smoothie."
He said as he took and shook her hand with his own. His voice holding no small amount of pride, fully expecting her to recognize the name. After all, his people always knew the name Smoothie. It would be only fitting for other species to also know and appreciate the work of his family.

Bana Smoothie? like a Banana Smoothie? Rhona wondered what parent would name their kid that... but then again he doesn't seem to be from Earth it was hard to imagine but she made the deduction that it obviously meant something else where he came from.
Still the shock of realization almost made it too late for her to hold back a laugh she turned to the side and gripped her nose. "Pfft!" Made the chuckle sound like a sneeze, and instantly composed herself to keep from being so rude. "Phew.. sorry aha-about that... by the way you look pretty red, the suns get pretty intense. I know a place you might be more comfortable. There is a tree nearby that is pretty top heavy." She'd try not so sound so awkward.

"Did I say something funny?"
His smile faultered away as she sneezed out a laugh. He could see the masked amusement. Clearly she didn't think that the Smoothie name was worth the reputation? Or was she laughing because of his height? not that she was one to talk! She was tiny!
He brought a hand up to his face and winced, his face was burning up. Which meant these blasted suns were wrecking havoc on his fair skin! This planet and it's suns have crossed the line yet again!
"Very well. Where is this tree?"
He needed shade, badly.

Oops maybe it was not as smooth as she had hoped. She did not want to insult this guy so redirecting the conversation was probably her best bet. "It is actually not far, I can show you... I go there often when the training rooms at the Arena are full. But today I want to get as far away from that place as possible." She smiled.
She'd return to her feet and unstrap her staff crutch on it. "So if not from Earth where are you from?"

"The glorious Second Armada."
It had been only recently that they'd acquired a new home world to act as a staging ground for future military operations. But eventually the New Planet Plant would be replaced with the True Planet Plant. And he dreamed that it would be with his innovations that the glorious Tuffle race would retake their home and eradicate the Saiyan's from this universe.
"Why are you avoiding the training room?"
Other than the obvious bits about it being unnecessary when given the proper equipment with AI assistance and physical stimulants to ensure that every soldier is in the best possible condition.

She had no idea what the Second Armada was but that was okay it was a huge universe and new things are always going to come up. But he sounded so proud, she smiled at that fact. Though it sounded like a military force rather than a Planet "Woo! Nice name. What are you doing on Namek? I do no think I saw you during the Tournament."
Rhona lifted enough of her shirt to show some bandages. "I got my butt whooped and have been cooped up indoors for days. Been getting what we call Cabin Fever... or a state of mind that comes up after you have sat around too long and just cant do it anymore." She dropped it back down. "I don't want to further my stay in at the doc's office but they don't know I am gone yet so I am just going to take a breather."

"I see."
So she was injured. He supposed that made sense, though her decision to leave the infirmary was silly at best and reckless at worst. No one liked being cooped up with injuries, but it was a part of life. Escaping and running around while all bandaged up though. It just seemed silly to him.
"I'm afraid the details of my visit are classified."
He would say no more about the nature of his visit than that, certainly no specifics until peace talks were over. And even then information would have to be dispensed with care. She could infer what she wanted from his answer all she liked, but he'd not confirm or deny anything.

More military like than she had thought, she had some knowledge as to how he was going to be. She decided to drop that subject them and just over another hill there was her Island. With plenty of divots from her past training sessions, a big rock just right of an even bigger tree the shade of its leaves spread over nearly a third of the island's full size as it split the river to force the flow on each side of it. Under the tree was healthier grass than in the middle, no doubt also Rhona's doing. The wall at the far side of the river was raised much higher than the island itself and the closer bank where they approached.
That bank and the island might be a far jump though. Rhona used to swim across before she could fly. "Here we are, does it look good?"

He let out a low whistle. Looks like someone or something had done quite a number on the area. But the tree was there as she promised. And it offered refuge from these blasted suns! A fact that he was eternally grateful for.
"It looks perfect!"
His expression softened immensely as he rushed to the water, squatting down to scoop some up with a hand, gently letting it pour itself back to the larger body as he tilted his hand. The water was nice and cool. That and the shade is just what he needed.

"I thought so when I came to Namek too. Earth only had one sun and a pretty moon, Now I don't really actually sleep... I just crash when I feel tired... Maybe you can say I just take naps."
She got close to him and was happy to help. She'd give him a moment before stretching a smile across her face she placed her hands on her hips and her feet were shoulder length apart, she'd better go ahead and ask. "You have an expensive computer. Can you fly?"

He burst out into laughter at her question. Could he fly? Not on his own no, but that was hardly a problem. For the weakness of the flesh could easily be overcome with the might of technological marvel!
"I can make my way across. But thanks."
He said as he straightened up, giving her a quick cocky wink. It would take more than lakes and rivers to conquer the might of the Tuffle Empire!
