Ise let out a long frustrated sigh as she wandered down yet another Sadala street, she was beginning very much to regret not simply sticking alongside Zerori, her innate inclination to explore on her own had more or less backfired as it was not overly enjoyable to explore Plant, no it would have likely been much more enjoyable to remain at the side of Zerori and Zriracha. With any luck Ise would catch a hint of their power signatures and reunite with them and perhaps then she could get her visor back in action.

Ise vaguely was aware of someone stepping up behind her and their power surging and with a casual air she let her power spike as they moved to grab her by the shoulder likely some sort of foolish attempt to kidnap her or perhaps another go at taking her armor due to its rather higher quality compared to what was apparently standard here on Plant. The spike in her power sent the Saiyan tumbling several feet away and with that Ise paused finally.

She made a half turn to face her would be attacker “You should learn to control your energy better if you want to actually be good at anything relating to stealth, your intentions were pathetically clear” Ise said with a shake of her head letting some of the venom she held out, she had not specific issues with THIS Saiyan, even if he had attempted to attack her it was so laughably bad she could not be bothered to care, no it was Plant and the people like him, her “parents” that had her on edge.

Ise was about to continue when she noted something strange, a humanoid figure approaching her, it had a… familiar pattern, it was rare that Ise bothered to commit an individuals pattern to memory when she did not know them well, her Fathers was ingrained into her mind over the years. But first meetings rarely proved necessary for that, she could always let herself naturally memorize it after many interactions and use energy readings as a more simple means of identifying someone.

That clicked it for her, the pattern was Kayfor!

Ise tilted her head in clear confusion as Kayfor rushed at her with rather impressive speed and grabbed hold of her, were it not for her confusion she would have gotten very annoyed by that but it quickly became apparent that he appeared to be… scanning her? It was so difficult to determine what a machine person was DOING but the telltale feelings of flashing lights and a few pulses of energy were reminiscent of various medical technologies Ise had used on her in the past.

“Of course I am ok Kayfor, I’ve yet to meet anyone on this Planet that could stand a chance of actually harming me” Ise said giving the Android a grin, perhaps her Father had sent him? It was not impossible he had gotten a read on her location before her Visor had been damaged.

“I’ll have you know I am privately tutored” Ise said and then Kayfor followed up with something that dismissed her assumption that he was here to retrieve her for her Father as he asked about where her Father might be. “My Father is, I believe, still on Arcose. I was… accidentally brought here. My friend Zerori has the ability to move between worlds and she brought me along with her, my visor was damaged in the arrival however so I have been unable to contact my Father.” Ise said sounding a touch embarrassed, more so than her story would indicate. She opted to not mention that it had been less of an accident than she suggested and also that she had reacted VERY poorly to the trip.

Her complete loss of control was perhaps the MOST embarrassing thing for her, Ise rather prided herself on how well she maintained herself as an Oozaru, granted she had not made the actual transformation and instead simply tapped into its power.

Ise tilted her head in confusion at first as Kayfor remarked on things he had done in his youth that at first seemed entirely unrelated to Ise until she realized that the machine man had made an absolutely MASSIVE misunderstanding of her reasons for being here on Plant. He actually thought she had RUN AWAY to this planet of all places, the idea was completely absurd for far more reasons than the entirely valid ones that Kayfor had mentioned.

“Kayfor I did NOT run away!” Ise said indignantly however she DID quickly snatch the device he had offered that he indicated could be used to speak with her father “I would never run away from my Father, least of all to this place” Ise said with a small shudder “My friend Zerori has the ability to create sort of… gates between places, instant travel though frustratingly she cannot do so regularly otherwise I would be back home already.” Ise said before taking off her visor and handing it off to Kayfor to take a look at, she trusted the man to know technology as well.. He WAS technology.

She then focused her senses on the device in her hand and… she had no idea whatsoever how to operate it, she could really only use her visor because she was both familiar with it and its buttons had braille indicators for its various functions.

But this little thing had no such easily obtained information “How does it work?” Ise idly fidgeted with the device managing to open it and she soon found it had buttons with unknown purposes “You do remember I cannot actually see, right Kayfor?”

Assuming Kayfor did an inspection of the visor he would find it to be a dramatically reconstructed scouter, clear work was made to make it accessible for Ise, the ear coverings also possessing a degree of noise cancellation with exceedingly particular settings, the main issue with the device was it had not held up well upon Ise’s initial fall upon arriving on Plant, a long crack ran across the near opaque glass and several internal parts were mildly damaged and a few things disconnected.

Ise was relieved when Kayfor took back the device and made it call her Father for her, she was however less pleased when he informed her that it would take some time. A minute would have been fine, however he then claimed it could take HOURS even earning a long frustrated groan from the teenager. Still though she took it holding it off to her side as her enhanced hearing would be more than enough to pick up if and when the call was received.

“You can fix it though… right?” Ise questioned hopefully as Kayfor explained that due to how complex the visor was it made it far more susceptible to damage and as a consequence it was quite heavily damaged now. It certainly SEEMED like he believed he could though, otherwise surely he would have simply handed it back to her and explained it to be a lost cause.

“Food would be good..” Ise said with a nod, she tilted her head at his offer to lead her “I can usually guide myself fine” Ise said though now without her visor to help filter things out it HAD become a bit more difficult to get a proper grasp of her surroundings. “But I suppose it would not hurt” she was not overly fond of the idea but it felt like Kayfor was trying to be genuinely helpful and not simply assuming her incapable of guiding herself.

Ise let out a sigh of relief as Kayfor confirmed that in spite of its damage she could fix her visor, if at the very least he could get its basic functions up and running again that would be wonderful as it would give her access to her Jet Squirrel once more and perhaps aid in her efforts to get back to her Father.

The trip was mostly quiet only interrupted by a strange creature, distinctly NOT a Saiyan pestering them, were they not busy Ise would have taken a bit of an interest in it as its energy pattern was quite unique but between the noise of the city and the need to stick with Kayfor that would have to wait.

When they arrived Kayfor left her to find suitable seating and while it would appear Ise had simply remained stationary unable to do so she had infact been using her other senses to get a layout of the area and find somewhere for them. Kayfor however quickly returned and seemed to take this as her being unable to do so, she tried to interject but already he had found somewhere for them.

“I can get a rough idea of the area, the meats smell pleasant so let's go with that” Ise said with a nod, it would take her a bit to divide up the scents and discern what was likely to taste best but ‘salted meat’ sounded like something quite difficult to mess up.

“More so than some of the other offerings, its rather difficult to make cured meat actively unpleasant though” Ise said with a shrug not sure if Kayfor was confused by her decision that the meat was likely to be good or that she could tell from where she was that it had a better scent than some of the other things on offer. Ise certainly hoped it had more to do with him not expecting that and not that he had experience with the food being bad.

Ise gladly took what Kayfor brought and gave it a try, she chewed it for a long few moments as she did her best to discern if it WAS good. It certainly was salted. She could tell that the quality of the meat however was… not the best was perhaps a charitable description. Still however she was hungry and it was certainly edible and so she continued eating.

“Its fine I suppose, I much prefer Arcose” With luck she would be back there soon enough. She still was not overly comfortable with the whole fact she was here at all but the more time she spent her the less immediately hostile to it she felt. Now it was just sort of a general distaste. A bit like her opinion of her food.

“Oh?” Ise was quite curious to hear that Kayfor and her Father had some sort of debate, her Father was VERY staunch in his beliefs so she could only imagine it being quite the thing to hear, apparently though Kayfor was curious if her Fathers beliefs had rubbed off on her and if she liked arguing.

“I have never really had much of a debate before but I’ve always loved the way my Father described his beliefs on how things should be!” Ise said with a grin, for the most part the young Saiyan only sort of vaguely understood the broader implications of her Fathers mindset, to her it was what she was raised with, the only way of thinking that really made sense.

Ise blinked as Kayfor ran through a rapid fire array of concepts that Ise was only vaguely aware of, she DID study much of the stuff he mentioned but rarely put much effort into any of it and much preferred the lessons and training that revolved around things like conquest, it was after all the most interesting. She DID pay plenty of attention to the relative strengths and weaknesses of various intergalactic entities but things like customs, trade, and the morality and standing of law just sort of… bored her.

Ise tried to from some sort of response for a few moments before Kayfor thankfully saved her by saying she had plenty of time to decide for when she got older, part of her DID know that she would eventually have to understand those things but she more hoped that she would just sort of more naturally have an easier time understanding or caring about them as she grew older. Or perhaps she could just acquire good advisors!

“No, Father does not seem to have much direct interest in the war, though perhaps that is just because he has not visited. If he took an interest in Plant I am fairly certain he would end up with an opinion” That or be his own force here.

Ise shrugged at Kayfor’s question on what she thought about the Saiyans “I don’t really care much either. I also prefer Arcose. From what I can tell Saiyans ARE quite strong but I’d hardly say this seems to be as good as they can get. A protracted war likely has as many problems as it has benefits. Sure they get stronger but the stronger ones are likely also targeted more and thus more likely to die.”

“I’ve gotten quite strong from regular battles but having it basically NEVER end seems… not ideal” The Saiyan-Tuffle war was ongoing for something like a few decades if memory served, that seemed just… pointless? Surely they should have pulled away LONG ago and sought out somewhere else maybe THEN returned when their forces were better off.
