"What? I could totally pull it off! I'll be one of those warmongers, yknow? Pillage the stars and crap? I'm sure the soldiers will dig it."
Playful as he made his idea come off, he wasn't sure it was actually a joke. Maybe that was the right way to lean things. Taori was... Well, he was a bit preoccupied lately. If he could steer things around, maybe he wouldn't need the crown to do it. If it went well, Taori surely wouldn't mind. It'd be like he was taking initiative. Leading the Saiyans in the right direction or what have you.
Ah well. Thoughts for when his vacation was over.
"We could go screw around on Konats anyway. See what it's like. I hear they've got wizards and shit. Don't see a lot of those on Vegeta, yknow?" Thinking on it, he actually did know a handful of magicians. Rosemary, for one, was allegedly half-demon. He was fairly certain he'd run through a few Kashvarii mercenaries before, too. Surely their magical inclination wasn't the best, considering they were dead.
"Uhh... Yeah. I think gunning it for the palace is the way to go. I know it's silly, since I'm pretty sure she could knock both of us down a flight of stairs at the same time, but I worry about her. Maybe I don't deserve the luxury, but I feel like I should protect her. I owe her that much, at least." He leaned back, glancing side-long at Kabe as he drifted into thought. "Same goes for you, you know. You both mean the world to me."
He pursed his lips, and paused. Maybe that was too heavy to drop on the kid in the middle of lunch...

Kabe wasn't sure if he should laugh or be concerned as he listened to Vocado's reply, and found common ground between his hypothetical monarchy leading the Saiyans into warfare and pillaging, and how Kabe had done exactly the same thing on a smaller scale for half a decade. He lingered on it for a moment, before seeing some uncertainty in Vocado's features. Was he thinking about the same thing? Or perhaps considering a real move toward the throne.
Before Kabe could ask, Vocado had moved on to his commentary about a throne of his own on Konats. He'd chosen the desert ball arbitrarily, but Vocado brought up something he hadn't considered. "Suppose I never thought about the wizards. I've only met a few," he began, and as he did a tall orange-skinned Nitran with a whole in his cheek entered the room. "I hate wizardsss..." Nyaku began, and Kabe recalled how he'd been kidnapped by an orb wizard on Namek some months back.
Before Kabe could tell the story, Vocado had answered his final question. He chuckled at the thought of his sister shoving them effortlessly down the stairs, and then turned a tad red as Vocado went on to state quite plainly how much he cared for Kabe. Talking about love, and family, was never his strength. And Nyaku knew that, as perfectly on queue he chimed in.
"Hey bossss, we need'jya on the bridge ASSSSAP." Finishing a final bite, Kabe sprung up from his seet. "Would you look at that," he started already moving across the room, hiding his face a little as he hoped the flush in his cheeks would vanish on it's own. "Hate to dine and dash, but gotta make sure we get where we're going. Feel free to look around."
Before his uncle could reply, an embarrassed Kabe was already rattling down the hall toward the canister lift to the bridge.
