Zuqetta began to calm, her super saiyan form being undone as she took quick, short breaths.
What in the world was Lottus saying right now!?
She looked down at the unconscious woman on the ground, her heart tightening as she stared at the familiar silky long hair. While the woman was face planted, it was impossible to recognize her; the tattered cloak she wore however sent a jolt through Zuqetta. She straightened up, taking a deep breath and calming herself down; her motions held hesitancy and skepticism. She thought of flipping the woman over to get a proper look at her face; Zuqetta reached her arm out, pausing, before the sounds of approaching Tuffle officers caught her attention.
"Pfft, what are you even goin' on about?" Zuqetta would remark, pulling her arm back and turning away, "My mom died back when I was born, I don't have a mom and I don't have a dad, don't let some weirdo strangers trick ya!" she'd continue, reaching down to pick up her dropped bags before looking back to Lottus, "She's likely just some woman lookin' ta cash in on my title, now c'mon! I bought a bunch of stuff for Jaggy, and you gotta pick what ya like the most!"
"Your highness!" The voice of an officer would call out, a group of six cautiously approaching, "Are you unharmed?" he'd ask, while his fellow officers drew their weapons and began to circle the massive downed woman.
Zuqetta would raise a brow, her tail shifting side to side behind her before she'd chuckle, "Hehe, yeah, of course I'm fine! Sorry for the mess though-" she'd say, pointing a thumb towards Lottus, "-my cousin's a bit reckless when he fights, and Hatchi streets are kinda small, heh."
"Thank goodness, so long as you're safe your highness, then the damage done is no issue." the officer would respond, putting away his blaster and taking out a data pad, "Worry not, I'll file a report to send to the Chancellor. Neither you nor... your cousin, will be held accountable." he'd explain, "On the contrary, I'm afraid we may have suffered greater loss had your cousin not come to our aid."
"Wha- Lottus!? Are you serious???" Zuqetta would question, eyes wide as she glanced back towards Lottus.
The officer was certain Lottus hadn't come to "help" out of the goodness of his heart, in fact, he didn't believe Lottus was there to help at all. It didn't change the fact that his actions did help however, and he wouldn't insult the Saiyan Monarch by insinuating anything negative about her cousin after such a situation.
"His intervention allowed not only our forces to retreat and set up a parameter, but it allowed the defeated Saiyan forces to retreat without casualty and for civilians to evacuate without either harm nor injury." the officer would explain as he inputted information on his tablet, "Buildings and possessions are easily replaced, lives, not so much." he'd continue, placing his tablet underneath his arm before stepping to the side nervously and looking up towards the massive, towering figure of Lottus, "F-For your actions sir, thank you!" he'd say as firmly as he could; pressing through the inner fear he had for the well known destroyer before him.
The officer would nod his head respectfully towards Lottus, before returning his attention to Zuqetta and doing the same. His attention would then turn towards the fallen woman on the ground, noticing one of his fellow officers poking at her calf with the tip of his shoe nervously.
"Weeeeell, I find it kiiiiiinda hard ta believe, but..." Zuqetta would remark, as she looked towards Lottus with a suspicious gaze before smiling and looking back to the officer, "I guess ya don't got much reason ta lie, huh? If ya say he helped I'll believe it." she'd say happily, hoisting the strap of a bag over her shoulder before looking back up towards Lottus, "Sorry for snappin' atcha, hehe, are ya shapin' up ta become some kinda hero or somethin'?" she'd laugh, clearly joking with her remark.
Zuqetta felt Lottus helping was purely a coincidence; figuring he most likely only fought against the woman to appease himself and have some fun. She couldn't be aware of exactly how the events went down, but if a Tuffle of all things was thanking him, then at the very least she felt she could trust he wasn't just up to no good.
"Your highness, what should we do with--?"
"Lock her up!" Zuqetta would interrupt, turning away and refusing to acknowledge the woman, "She's the criminal, right? I'm not gonna interrupt your work officer, do with her what you will." she'd say firmly, a small bite in her tone, "If that's all, we're gonna get outta here! We have a thing we don't wanna be late for, c'mon Lottus, or Jaggy might take away your meal, heheh."
Zuqetta would hover up into the air, tossing the second bag back for Lottus to catch before then taking off higher into the air. The officer would give a salute towards Zuqetta, before rallying his fellow officers. Cuffs would be placed on the down woman, and the group would begin their struggle to transport her to the back of a van which she seemed to fill completely. Her fate, a mystery Zuqetta didn't care to keep track of...
