Kabe's first joke was met with silence at first but this soon quickly became a grumble followed by her peeking from the room to ditch the box her gift had been in at his head. "Very funny Kabe" It did lighten and bring up the mood though and she figured he probably needed a bit of that since having let himself be vulnerable in giving the her the gift and invite to the ball. She would let it slide just this once, just the one joke didn't hurt.
He couldn't help himself though and added to the first joke with a follow up one that made her face go so hot and red she practically had steam coming from her ears! She'd quickly pull on the rest of the gifted Bonewood outfit which all seemed to fit perfectly, slipping on the last bit- the boots and the golden clamps that came with them before storming back into the living room to face the pirate. She was probably a bit more intimidating now that she wasn't in that candy coloured sweater and instead in the Bonewood Saiyan armour with its golden spiked shoulder pads.
"That is between me and Nero only and not for you to know you nosy ass and don't you go asking him the same either!" Zhalla would cross her arms and huff but the dumb names he'd called it were making it hard not to smile at least somewhat let alone laugh.
When it came to the outfit though with the quick scolding of Kabe out of the way (for now...) she could actually get a look for herself as well as showing Kabe at the same time. Zhalla would quickly go grab the full bodied mirror from her room and would plop it down at the end of the living room before taking a step back to see herself in its reflection-- Though she paused in her looking to give Kabe a playful- but still hard, punch to the shoulder for bringing up Nero's eyes again, sticking her tongue out at him like a teasing sibling would "He already can't" When looking back to the mirror though she'd hold out the waist cloth and look herself over a few times from different angles "You really think so?" She'd ask even though she'd punched him for bringing Nero up in the first place. She did also think it looked good though, the deep Bonewood purple against her ginger hair was a great colour combination.
Zhalla did find herself also looking to the stomach plate part of the outfit a number of times too though, she knew saiyan armour was known for the stretchiness and even Nero had managed to put some of that component onto her usual outfit for when they were doing Oozaru and Wrathful training but still, she hoped it wasn't too noticeable yet. Speaking of though Kabe's next questions cause her a bit by surprise but she also appreciated that he asked them at all.
"Good, definitely good but I'm also scared" She didn't look to Kabe when she answered and kept her eyes on her reflection in the mirror instead. "What if I'm a bad mum? Or something goes wrong? I really want to do this right, you know? I'm not weak or helpless or anything either by any means but being even just this little bit more vulnerable makes me anxious, I know I'm safe and will be looked after, but you know how I've always mostly looked after myself" She knew Kabe of all people would understand the last part the most. "So having that change is taking some getting used to, it's all a lot to take in but" She mustered up the most confident smile she could manage "But I'm happy! I couldn't believe the news at first and Nero's face when we realized... I wouldn't trade that for anything" She gave quite possibly the happiest grin Kabe would've ever seen her give before. "Crazy to think about how I entered the tournament and even went to save Plant and had no idea until I'd gotten back home" Finally looking to Kabe though she'd flick her tail a little anxiously "I need you to not tell anyone though too, okay? At least not yet, can I trust you to do that?"
