Damsels and Dilemmas (Tanis)

Denim was quick to hear the pounding on the side of her ship and looked up to figure out who was causing it. Her eyes fell upon a dark haired woman in a sweeping overcoat more then half a foot taller then her. She began trembling in her boots at her actions and uttered, "I'm sorry I didn't mean to crash so badly ma'am I've never driven a ship like this ever."

She'd purse lips though after this for a moment as she took in the woman's massive, toned frame and realized that because of her height she was suddenly now staring at the woman's chest. She couldn't really help it because to truly look up at her as she had to crane her neck upwards moments earlier. Now she was relaxing it and finding that the only place to look at was her breasts.

"Ah..." she sighed pointing at her chest, "Could you bend down to my level or sit down with me to talk? It's embarrassing I feel to you and I to be conversant when all I can stare at is your bust." She didn't mean to point it out but she felt like it needed to be said thanks to the fact Denim would need a stool otherwise to speak with her properly. The big question being on her mind now, "Would she accept this offer?" Her ki, which Denim sensed, felt like a wild woman's ki and ready to explode at any second. She couldn't help but wonder as well if this woman might be some kind of civilized amazon spoken of in legends.

Denim could smell the strong scent of fruit coming out of her mouth yet sat down with her even though she had a lot she wanted to say about Tanis' assumptions and hygiene already. She simply stretched out her legs on the forest floor, not caring how dirty she got thanks to the state of her sneakers, and smiled at her. Then started to laugh before finally saying as she placed her hands at her sides in the dirt. "I'm not one to have normally done something like this on purpose, I should know, but I've just come from a dead planet. The man, Plaid... The one who helped set up the ship with me did not have much time to help me with it so if it crashed badly I'm sorry."

She bowed her head a moment for him then continued placing her gaze upon Tanis once more, "I have parents and they're in South City, but I'd rather not go home to them. I have been wanting to strike out on my own for a long while and as a 27 year old I must do this to better understand how I want to write a book I'm working on."

She placed her left hand on her own chest and softly pressed her fingers into her barely b cup bosom. "I have an obligation to write about martial artists since my tiny heart tells me to. But if you don't believe this, well, you don't have to for I Denim will make you believe."

She wasn't sure how she was going to prove she was twenty seven she didn't remember if she had brought a driver license or not with her, and that said, because of the lack of one she could only make the titanic woman before her make her believe with words. She did sound kind of childish at the moment though so it was likely thanks to this that confusion ran rampant in the other woman's mind.

"I don't see how being that old is a problem," Denim retorted as she crossed her arms in slight contempt, "Do I somehow look younger?" She felt quite confused on this matter while watching Tanis catch berries in her mouth. The next question came as the girl clicked her tongue and Denim's face paled as she tried to think of how she'd answer this one. Her right foot began to wag about while she sat there deep in thought

"To be honest, if I said I came out here solely to work on my book about martial artists and train myself I'd be wrong. I just told you of the man named Plaid, well, in order to get myself that ship to escape with him..." she pointed back at it with her thumb, "I essentially said I'd sleep with him for pleasure and take on any of the responsibilities that resulted. We traded some money too that he loaned me and that's how I got it." Her hand would fall to her belly to help Tanis connect the dots. Tanis didn't look it but Denim was beginning to think she might be younger then she actually appeared for all the bulk and muscles she possessed.

She let out a sigh though and added, "I might change up the ship for something better but right now it sits two people after being remodeled from space pods so I feel it works decently. Anyway," she noted now shrugging her shoulders, "because of Plaid I am almost assuredly pregnant but alive. I feel that I might be pregnant because that man wasn't just a man or a mercenary who helped me build that ship but an android too. So... When they do things I believe it's to the point of a completion or perfection. That's how I know so far yet I haven't checked myself."

"Oh, thanks I guess. I suppose one of my goals was to become pregnant at some point and time, but I just can't believe I had to trade lives to do it." Denim sighed as she reached for her hand with her own hand and the berries cupped in Tanis' palm.

She let the pink and blue orbs slide into her fingers only to drop them moments later as her face turned green. She felt a nauseous sensation rise in the bowels of her stomach as it helped indicate for certain she was indeed with child. She tried to hide this visible fact though by quickly saying, "I'm not hungry now... Anyway, my ship is in good condition if that's what you meant."

She let out a hardy laugh then studied Tanis carefully with her eyes as the woman lay on her side. Before answering the questions about she concluded that now Tanis was being overly inquisitive if not friendly. "I-I was in space you know but not because I chose to be. I was investigating a message sent to me. Apparently some king of the planet Konats sent me an invite to his coronation. And when I got to this planet with the help of an old man, a Saiyan, and seaweed woman I learned he was someone I had helped here in South City."

She shrugged then uttered, "Who knew aliens could be so close to us. Anyway, he wanted to have a party for this ascension and had invited me since I was someone he knew. At the end though I decided to train there and after I wanted to come back a month later ended up crashing my ship. That place was the place I met and left Plaid to die. He was a hardened mercenary that was apparently shipping weapons to some other planet and crashed there. I don't know where he stored them though since I never saw them, anyway, if I hadn't made love with him as part of a monetary loan to rebuild our ships into an escape vehicle I feared I would lose my life."

It was a hard to take in at once due to it being a huge influx of information but she hoped Tanis understood to some extent. Denim was still trying to process most of it herself she had been inches away from death with Plaid thanks to him having a solid power of 10,000 PL and her having nowhere near that amount. She'd close her eyes now though and sense for Tanis' power level finding it to be a solid 4000. She could feel she was definitely stronger than this woman despite their difference in appearance.

Denim, while thin and super young looking should have been weaker in scale but somehow she had surpassed Tanis significantly despite her tall, sturdy form. The woman had a good deal of muscle and even though it lay hidden under her coat it was easy for Denim to see some of it now that she lay on the ground on her side. As a final question to her for the moment she'd ask, "How is it you trained yourself to look this way miss? I hate to be rude but somehow I am stronger then you I think, yet you clearly look the part of a real female warrior."

Denim really should have asked her name at this point but it had completely slipped her mind. It was likely due to the fact the conversation was more focused on her rather then her new acquaintance. She needed to change this and hoped this was a starting point for that.

"Hm... I think I understand." Denim responded slapping clapping her hands together, "Unfortunately, I've heard for some people it isn't easy because of family traits. I suppose one of mine might be short people exist in my family." she smiled at the woman even though she rambled on before uttering, "I-I think that's good. If you're trying to impress me you can stop... I don't really know that royal guy who invited me to his planet all that well." She sighed and then grabbed at Tanis' shoulder shaking it a little to hopefully get her attention, "He's just a man I helped get some food for by showing him to a restaurant."

Denim stood up and stated, "Not sure... But I know one thing I'm nowhere near close to South City to begin with I don't recognize this area at all." She brushed her pants off and then stated, "I think my next stop though could be to go wherever you're going for a while."

She looked down at Tanis and smiled once more, "You're very kind Tanis and cause you're so strong you can protect me? Or can you really? I'm not sure anymore because now that I sense your and your emotions I can feel the power within you. It's not as great as mine but it's pretty strong and have no ill intentions towards me.""

She'd place her hands on her flat stomach though and mutter, "Then again, I really can't refuse if I think about it that way I'll soon be walking around with my belly hanging out. And someone's going to have to help me when that occurs. I can't raise a child on my own after all."

She'd sigh then turn back to her ship glancing up at the giant metal hull, "How about we go inside my place and chat some more. You can help me out I guess and tell me about things around this part of Earth."

She walked then to the ship and opened the hatch by hitting a few buttons on the side. If Tanis followed she was going to find the first floor of this ship was built like a command deck. On it was a few screens hanging down from above that collected and surveyed surrounding data and below it a giant console to control the ship with one one red cushioned seat in front and another directly behind it. There was a lift too, however, it was off yet led to a second floor above the main part of the ship. Here two people could live comfortably in shared room with a single shower, a small kitchen stove, and training room with a few weights in the back. It was a simplified version of the large ships that existed in the universe but it held at least some of the necessities for space travelers to survive.

Unfortunately, Denim had never inspected these things and therefore was without a doubt clueless to the features of her own vessel beyond what a screen showed her about the ship's layout upon entering. The ship though was spacey enough and because of this Tanis would hopefully not complain to coming inside it despite it being the initial issue with their encounter thus far.
