Gira's jaw dropped when the little Lottus called her "scrawny." She had been training hard, and had gained quite a bit of muscle mass since she started. She wasn't scrawny! ...Was she? She wouldn't have time to really think about it, however. What her guide had also said intrigued her. Apparently, the memories she was looking for were close to where this being known as "Wrath" frequented. As the little Lottus began walking, gesturing for Gira to follow, the young Saiyan walked alongside him, looking around to take in the scenery. She was surprised to see how different it looked from Zuqetta's own mindscape.
Her guide then began to set some ground rules. This was also different from what she experienced with Zuqetta. There, the little guide had given her permission to change the memories that Gira came across. Indeed, she even seemed to be urging her too. While she was unsure at first, in hindsight, she was glad she did. The experience helped Zuqetta deal with her own personal trauma, and even led to the two of them becoming closer than they would have been otherwise. Still, she understood that this situation was different. If she messed around with Lottus's memories too much, it might create the opposite effect. It could make him worse. She wondered if that was what the little Lottus meant by making Wrath stronger. Perhaps that would also happen if she let Wrath get into these paths, just as she was warned against. She would have to take much greater care in here, it seemed.
And then there was what he said first; about not letting Wrath touch her because it would make her more like him. That didn't sound like it would be particularly healthy for her. She already struggled with these destructive impulses and she didn't need anything else contributing to that struggle. She nodded to the little Lottus, still looking around at the mindscape.
"Got it. I don't think there will be a problem I can't handle as long as i'm careful." Her mission was clear, then; find the memory of Gandigan, get in, get what she needed, then get out. If they were lucky, they would remain unnoticed.
