Unlike Kelvin, Clarinet looked at the situation very differently. He had a sort of 'comrades in arms' way of looking at things. He planned on providing genuine care simply because he had viewed Kelvin as someone that he had been glad to fight alongside of.<br/><br/>"Next time, don't call me your boss, because I'm not." It was incredibly rare to see the Namekian smirk, so that would have made his joke all the more poignant. Then again, it was often rare to see much of any sort of emotion out of the alien being at all. Being a sort of insectoid plant creature had a tendency to do that to you. He actually had a tendency to have a different sort of worldview about nearly everything when it came down to it actually.<br/><br/>The mask had ultimately served another purpose as well. It allowed him and Kelvin to continue to speak to one another while he was in the tank. Clarinet knew entirely too well how it felt to have your appetite destroyed by that sort of thing.<br/><br/>It wouldn't have been the first time that one of them had to venture into the unusual goopy mixture that had that slightly corn-like odor.<br/><br/>Even though Kelvin had physical wounds that didn't cause too much of a conscious problem, Clarinet was not going to allow his brother in arms to die while bravely fighting off the pain. No matter how brave Kelvin wanted to be, everyone really did have physical limitations at the end of the day, and everyone could reach them if they had worn their bodies out too much.<br/><br/>Then again, even though he didn't quite hear the comment about the tank flavor because it was never made, he actually was sort of thinking the same thing to himself admittedly.<br/><br/>Nevertheless, Clarinet's face didn't change. The topic that they were talking about was serious, but he knew entirely well how to handle it. He was asking Kelvin to kill him in an emergency.<br/><br/>Regardless, it didn't seem like Kelvin was game much for talking about any of it. Rather, he moved on with the conversation and preferred not to focus on killing him. Well, he figured that there were other important things to discuss for sure. To him, of course, this was an important issue, but it didn't seem like something that was too stressful.<br/><br/>Internally, though, it might very well have been. He certainly didn't like the feelings that it had elicited, that was for sure.<br/><br/>"Yes, he said it was a warning, but I don't know if he was just trying to get rid of us or not. Say someone else wanted to send a distress signal, but he had wanted to keep whoever it was from getting anyone to interfere, so that's what he said to us."<br/><br/>Unfortunately, that made sense to Clarinet. If this intelligence were the one doing the oppressing, he would have certainly tried to silence the oppressed.<br/><br/>"You would get rid of your own people, because of the things that they have done, rather than try to reform them?" Clarinet seemed to be taking a rational kind approach, but his idea of reform was probably pretty heavy-handed. If the Namekian people were conducting evil operations, then he more than likely would have used force to make sure that no one got hurt. Clarinet's heart was of course in the right place, but he had a tendency to use plenty of violence when it came to getting what it was that he had wanted.<br/><br/>"Do you know how we should go about getting in touch with other Frost Demons and the like?" Naturally the Namekian thought that if there were anyone who would know about that, then it would have been someone who was of the same species.<br/><br/>If they had ever needed to contact his own people, then it would have been no difficulty for him to get in touch of course.
