Order whatever you like to eat and relax....today is a special day ero." She gestured with her huge hand towards the now cleared table.
    "..."

    Parsley wasn't fazed in the slightest by the appearance of four Erosas. In fact, she was far more concerned by the absence of the youngest and likely most dangerous Erosa, the baby. Her eyes narrowed when she realized the child was missing. "Where is the toddler?"

    Sarada, on the other hand, was completely taken aback. The one she met before was here, yet somehow, there were three others? And another still, if Parsley was to be believed?

    She slowly sank into a chair and rubbed her temples. "I don't know why or how there are so many of you dickheads," she huffed irritably, "but we have important business to talk about." She sniffed twice, and caught a whiff of some delicious meat pies. Clearly, her sister or Avoca ordered them. If they were still around, then they must have saved them for her. "I smell meat pies. Where are they?"

    "With the other pies, we'll reheat and get some ready for you....But before that we have something very special for you. Please wait right there for a moment and we'll have it ready in a second." The Adult Erosa made sure the two were good and then moved over to Parsley. "Hmm....Looking for the child? She's out exploring, left a little after Charco was here. Shame....He seemed a little on the sick side, even though he..." The Adult Erosa paused, glanced over at Sarada, then back to parsley. "...Maybe its best not to mention ero, don't want her appetite spoiled. I'll go get some more pies and drink for you."

"Your name is.." Aleka trailed off. "Sorry I don't remember your name. Mine is Aleka."

    Or she was told and didn't remember.

    The comment from Praxat made her pause, she had never once heard of Namekians being known for their beverages. Didn't they just drink water mainly? Plus this was a alternate universe so who was to say that was true? The waters were normally safe but who knows if these ones were? Then again Pike hadn't said anything where water was literally about everywhere when they first got off and the giant Toadian wasn't exactly screaming from from type of flesh eating substance or something.

    Ochazuke seemed to be in the midst of something concentration wise so she held off briefly from broaching a conversation. It was easier now that she had a name to go to the face.



    From what Aleka could sense, it was about what she expected from Namek from back at home with small villages and communities dotted about. There didn't seem to be any notable power levels, though back at home the warrior class wasn't as common or as strong. There were some that were decently strong thinking back on it but those had been in the minority.

    What surprised the Acorian the most? Female Namekians.

    A lot more different then I was expecting. So it means the reproduce like most races do instead of the eggs but I wonder if it means they eat or anything else?

    A curious question that could wait a bit for now as the scene unfolded on them, bringing a slight smile to Aleka's face. Scenes like this she was sure she'd almost never get tired of as she had a new found appreciation of it she didn't ever have before. "These your family Pike?" She asked politely after a moment to let them get semi situated instead of just bursting into the touching moment at the start.
    Pike nods.

    “My brother and his wife, Tong and Knives.”

    The two nod and thank them for helping bring Pike back.

    Some distance away, Pike called out to his kin, reunited with his family. He'd swiftly rediscovered his place.

    Standing both within and outside of this sphere where he sensed where he stood in this world, Ochazuke felt only a pronounced dysrhythmia, which brought his thoughts only nearer to the Doctor. He'd forced the Portal Wizard to turn this into a weapon and hone his wayward longer into a killer's edge.

    He surveyed the horizon one last time and rose to follow their host. Their presence alone announced that this reunion would be more than it appeared to be, so he eschewed introductions.

    "You've been returned." His words were blunt, for they both knew many of the others that day were not so fortunate. "Your home is safe, so is your life. Will you help us to do the same?"
    Pike nods, speaks again in Namekian, and then rises back into the air.

    “Elder Nail is waiting for us. Please, follow me.”

    He waves at his kin and then flies towards the largest building in the village, landing and gesturing to the door.

    “Inside.”

    He knocks, listens, then opens it and gestures them inside. A gentle, powerful presence resides within.

    As Ochazuke followed Pike and they left the Wizard's brief reunion behind, it seemed despite the gentle airs to only harden his expression further.

    "It seems you've been gone for some time," he asked, exchanging a short look with him. "Did they know why you were absent?"

    Whatever the case might be, there was a great presence sequestered within the centre of the village, emanating in-tune with the sublime matters that linked the denizens of this place. But more than that, nearby was a familiar energy, the same which bled into their passage into these divergences. Time magic.

    Silently, he followed Pike's lead inside.

    He shakes his head.

    “Not yet, but I will explain later. They deserve to know...what I have done.”

    Walking in, Pike bows his head to the figure there.

    “Elder Nail, I have brought guests. They require your aid.”



    “I believe I may be able to help you.”

    Sarada eyes narrowed to match her sister's. Whatever this surprise was, she was sure it was stupid and ridiculous and not worth her time. "Fine," she responded eventually. She figured she'd at least humor them for a moment.

    "I see." Parsley had just assumed that they would have kept a closer eye on the little baby. If she had gone after Charco, then she was in another timeline. No place for an infant; but she supposed that it was fine. If the child died for some reason, it wasn't her problem. "Red wine, if you will."

    Elder Nail nods. A swirling blue and grey sphere collapses into his hand, which he then has float over to Ochazuke.

    “The nexus, for the safe return of my son and the assurances against such another abduction. I am in your debt, Warrior, for showing mercy to him and bringing him home. Ask any boon that I might grant, and it is yours alongside the nexus sphere.”

    What use were huts and words to an immortal being? If they did have anything, he would simply take it in time.

    Hungry eyes, getting hungrier by the second.

    Getting closer.
    His would-be hunter was persistent, he'd give them that. Following him to another realm and timeline just to stalk him.

    Perhaps he should greet them, if only to end this pointless chase. Turning from the group, Charco took a few steps away.

    OOC: All good, thanks for the clarification.

    IC:

    So Pike was the son of the clan elder. Indeed it seemed the greater portion of that silent whisper that permeated the planet converged around Nail, his bearing suggesting perhaps a greater, innate receptivity to it. But however long Namekian years stretched, World after world, seeking the strongest...much the same as our Jinzi Pantaloon, in that respect.

    At the mention of a boon the Elder would grant them, Ochazuke carefully considered what lay before them.

    "We would be grateful...though I suppose that depends what is within your power to grant."

    Quote Originally Posted by Tami View Post

    Indeed there was a great deal of magic around them. A particular sort which, emenating from the planet core, seemed to serve those who could tap into the localized source. "Think carefully, now. What purpose is there in reaching for a thing you cannot grasp?"

    "One with greater ambitions, for the people, ought to have a broader view beyond fickle appetites," he muttered. "If food from folk who have no knowledge of it is sufficient, it is a matter doomed to fail. Besides, our path is dependent on our ability to continue moving forward."

    When the voice of the tournament's freshly laureled champion voiced his sentiments, Ochazuke turned and glanced behind him.

    "How gracious," leaning his head foward, his dark eyes fell upon Charco; for a brief moment a cutting flash seemed fill them, fading swiftly as it came under a short nod. "Well said."

    Returning to their host, he continued with a question of his own.

    "Doubtless you've seen many years in your life. The generations of your clan, your children, your grand-children, they have lived, perhaps undisturbed among such pristine peace," he said, and exchanged a knowing glance with Pike. If this boon could have saved returned his son, it would have. "To preserve it, what would you be willing to do?"
