Fighting was, as they said, fun for the whole family where he came from. In the oldest days, supposedly mating traditions dictated a couple would fight in battle together to test the mettle of their bond.<br/><br/>Aiko's next sentence made his hands halt, the implications hitting his brain all at once. Before, he'd worried every time they were in battle together. As strong Aiko was, she always felt like papyrus to someone who could suplex a building. Never before had he really considered the subject from her perspective. Far away and powerless to act, she might not even know absolutely until years later.

Lakes so still you'd think they were a mirror. Vibrant, red canyons. Mountains, far as the eye can see. Cities, too, but not as many. Typically too on the job to notice. Rodina has some amazing old stonework, though."</span>The saiyan thought out loud. Looking back down at her soulful eyes, he pecked her again on the lips.<br/><br/><span style="color: #0080FF">"Anything you'd like to see?"</span>
