One Last Look (Carro)

Back home in the house that resided in the largest cave in the area, Zerori was doing the finishing touches on her gauntlets that were still in MASSIVE need of testing. The last recent uses they’d seen had Zerori to worry if it was wise to even use them anymore. While she could make them work for a certain amount of time, any amount of damage they took would just have them shut down again and she’d have to repair everything from scratch. It just made it all the more disheartening to think that the harmony between magic and machine just wasn’t something she was going to get a knack for.

Thankfully, her time on Plant was almost over; the lead she had on Father was clear and she felt as if she’d long since overstayed her welcome on the planet. All that was left to do was pack up her shit in safe places - likely having to go home and throw it all in her room (and maybe clean that up too) - and then let her mom know where they were going next. That was… probably the hardest part. Once more, they’d neglected to have a conversation about where they stood after fighting and (once again) it was Zerori who refused to start it.

What did she decide to do instead? Procrastinate.

“I’ll be back later! Don’t forget to start packing up; we’re leaving soon!” Zerori called to her mother, earning a curious look.

“Are we? Have you decided to go to Earth?”

Zerori was already at the door, opening it, “Yeah, we’re going to-” She stopped, frozen to the spot before turning around, “-How did you know?” The look she received from her mother had the satyr woman look more like a teenager than a centuries old greater demon.

“You told me in a rather aggressive tone a few days ago, Zerori. Come now, have the days blurred together for you?” It was a simple teasing statement but it had Zerori groaning in annoyance.

“Right. Must have slipped my mind after you ATE MY LAST CUPCAKE!” She didn’t even stay to listen to her mother amused excuses before she was out the door and on her way. By the time she’d decided to stop and take a break, she’d been away from the Lagoon where the Saibas played and in the greater wasteland of the pits. Still, from her position sitting on a cliff side overlooking the wastelands, Zerori had a pretty good look at the Saiyan capital in the distance and the borgos bluffs just north of that. She took in a deep breath, releasing it in a sigh as she realized that she might miss this place after she left.
