Who does she think she is? Just waltzing up here pretending to be a better person for trying to preach on behalf of a killer.
Get a grip, this is family trying to set family straight. Admirable if misguided.
Bullshit!
That angry little voice in her head started piping up again once Zuqetta spoke her mind. Shakily as she could, it came across to Jackie as someone struggling desperately to realize the actual danger here. Of just apologizing for a violent man, rather than actively stopping him. She of course did not know Lottus. Shame on her for not getting the life story out of a guy she was trying to save lives from.
Can't you see she's trying to make him better?
You know that's not what you're thinking. 'Second Chances' my ass, he was an active menace not a couple of months ago. This guy is actively threatening places. You have to be 'actively' stomping that out. Come on, say it!
Now wasn't the time to literally explode on this girl, who was now frozen before her before a bounty of tears rolled from her eyes. The kami snaps out of her second guessing and immediately softens at the sounds of sadness and anguish for the self. Those crimson eyes blink wide, the very tone in the wind up here at the lookout shifting as Zuqetta gave in to a very human empathy. The truth was honestly the more painful thing to come across, even if you thought you were doing good.
"Hey..."
The kami took in a deep breath through her nose and decided to close the distance back to the saiyan. For a queen, this was awfully soft. Was it perhaps only by virtue of her power she could hold such title in the first place? She seemed too genuine to be the lying type. The girl would find a tanned hand patting the shoulder armor she wore lightly. Light by their standards at least.
"Look, I dunno anything about this kidnaping or trapping anyone in ice business. I can't really speak on behalf of the Mazoku or the Empire or anyone else, really. I won't pretend to know specifics, who was right or wrong, who was when or where, or why. Hunting the problem like a monster on a full moon hardly ever works out. However-"
The taller, by their standards, human would let go only to recross her arms. Staring up at the lookout's main building and past it, at the clear skies.
"This isn't about second or third chances. I've dolled those out myself to middling success, but it's within the capacity for anyone to change. This is about an active issue. And this comes not from personal feelings; Everyone has been having to deal with planet busters just like him. So unless you've guaranteed he made some groundbreaking change the past couple of months I've only his record to show. If you are not there with him, he could be doing just anything. To anyone. Justified with this notion that 'He's trying' isn't good enough." She pauses, seeing if she was maybe laying it on too hard trying to do this so soon after she broke down.
"I don't think I was put up here to antagonize guests of our home, though. We're getting too lost in the weeds when I'm supposed to be welcoming in times of peace."
She broke it up with a hearty laugh, trying to nudge Zuqetta with a shoulder as she reapproached her work. The conjuration of food, enough to serve a saiyan. "I'm not your boss, your mom, or anything like that. But if you are Queen, if you are trying to be the better person, you should at least consider my word. Act. Buuut, ya don't have to."
Yeah, we're an only child after all. What do we know about killer cousins?
Jackie squints as she's reassembling her enterouge of food, a sudden smoke rising from some of it as she began cooking it out in the open, flames wreathing pieces from her own mind palace.
