Cello watched Tomoka attempt to make amends with Ais. He hoped that his lord took the hand that was offered to him. Maybe, just maybe if he did that, there was hope. Cello didn't hate Saiyans, but he despised their empire. Oppression, greed, gluttony, and foolish pride was their mantra. While they may not be "evil" they were certainly not good. As much as Cello didn't want to admit it, though, Ais was just as bad. If not worse. He had seen some of the things Ais had done... and they disturbed him. Losing his home, his father, and his title in one fell swoop must have knocked a couple of screws loose.
Ais wasn't entirely unreasonable, however. He agreed with Tomoka about how the strong were the ones to truly inherit the galaxy. Strong people like them. Then came the Arcosian bashing. One might expect Ais to get angry, but he actually respected that. The Arcosians, the ones on Arcose, were the whole reason his father took part of Kabocha to begin with. They called his coup treason, but Ais knew that they were the treasonous ones. Everything Tomoka said was absolutely true. If he agreed with him that much, maybe they could unite on this common ground. Ais's opinion of the Saiyan improved, but he wouldn't show exactly by how much. Foolish pride was a weakness of Ais's as well. Perhaps he had more in common with Saiyans than he thought.
"Hmph." He crossed his arms, looking down at the Saiyan's hand. "Perhaps. Perhaps we can." That was all he would say on that matter for now. He hesitantly reached out, stopping for a moment before completing the handshake. Ais did seem interested when Tomoka mentioned that the technique he used was called "afterimage." It fit the move well. If he was serious about showing it to him, Ais would probably take him up on that offer.
"So, is the fight over now? I don't necessarily want to beat you up anymore. At this point, it's just training."

Tomoka smiled when the Arcosian took his hand, and he shook it vigorously, before pulling away after a few seconds. He shrugged as he heard the question, not sure about what to do. "True. I mean, I got into this hoping to beat the shit out of a changeling, and well, we kinda did that to each other now, didn't we?" Tomoka asked, the smile still on his face. "We could train, but that fight was intense as all hell. I mean, I got shot in the arm, and I got a hand shoved through my chest, second time this week, and really, the entire reason we started fighting was because we hated each other, which I really can't do now." Tomoka said as he shrugged once more. He would've never thought at the beginning of this fight that he would be shaking the hands of an Arcosian.
"I mean, I really doubt I could teach you after image either... I kinda just figured it out, than kept doing it, you know? You can't really show other people how to do it in my case. But don't worry, it's not a hard skill to figure out on your own. Some other guy in the Dominion actually figured it out all on his lonesome to, so it's perfectly possible that you could do it to." Tomoka would reassure the Arcosian now, before he slowly begin hovering back to the ground. "The only thing we could do now is go and eat lunch. Is that option still on the table? I mean, I'm starving, but I'm a Saiyan." Tomoka would say as he referenced the massive appetite of a Saiyan warrior at the tail end (hehe) of puberty, considering that he was 16. It would only be a few more months before he turned 17, he realized, and he suddenly began to wonder what he would do. The empire didn't care to much about where it's citizens went in their free time, but it was required for men of the empire to do SOME military service in their lifetime, and Tomoka was only a year away from the mandatory age of conscription, 18. He wondered what would happen if they came looking... it most likely wouldn't be pretty.
"It's up to you. I got plenty of money, don't worry, so you could probably buy anything and I'd still have enough left over. Just not any of that caviar crap, I won't have that receipt on my record, noway nohow." Tomoka stated firmly. If there was one thing he couldn't stand, it was overly expensive food that didn't have any value behind it whatsoever, not tasting good or doing anything to make you less hungry. By now, he was back on the ground, walking over to the Namekian from earlier. "I'll take my scouter back now, if you please."

Ais allowed himself to relax when it seemed the battle was over. It appeared that lunch was still on the table. The Arcosian would admit that he was hungry. His growling belly a testament to that. "What do they even have here anyway? I was under the impression that Namekians survived on water. I don't expect that there are a wide variety of restaurants around here. Are there?" Ais asked, cocking his head to one side as he thought about it. He then looked at Cello, who had just landed on the ground next to them, but the Namekian just shook his head and shrugged. Ais looked at him strangely when he mentioned caviar.
He had heard of the food and tried it a few times. It was rather popular on Earth and on Arcose. It was rather expensive from what he recalled. Especially since they were just fish eggs. Ais didn't like the texture of them. Too slimy. They were also a little too salty for his taste. Oh no, he preferred a more classic feast of roasted meat of some sort. Bread too. Can't forget the bread. A nice chef salad on the side, maybe. Ais put a hand on his stomach as it growled again. "Well, at any rate, lead the way. I haven't been on this rock near long enough to know where everything is." Cello looked over at the Saiyan when he approached and asked for his scouter back. Cello indeed still had it in his hand.
"Sure." Was all he would say in his gruff voice, handing the scouter back to the Saiyan and crossing his arms over his chest. Cello didn't eat food at all. To do so would be gluttonous seeing as how he doesn't need to eat and it would simply be for the pleasure for it. Cello would stay near Ais wherever they went, maybe getting some water to drink.

"Well, the Mazoku staff is made up of all sorts of Demons and other people, so they have food besides water." Tomoka would explain to the Arcosian. "Though it's not great, and I wouldn't blame em. There cooking staff is made up of people who don't even eat." Tomoka said as he chuckled, clicking the scouter back onto the side of his head once he was done. He would begin walking, expecting Ais to follow. "Fortunately, their are plenty of people who ACTUALLY eat in the capital, so we don't have to worry. There are plenty of diners and restaurants, hell, even a few food carts from what I saw on my last patrol. Spend a whole lot of time in those restaurants on break though. Only place with any kind of lady..." Tomoka would say as he suddenly began day dreaming, before snapping out of it quickly.
"So yeah um, we could head to the capital. You aren't on duty now, right?" Tomoka asked quickly, trying to change the subject quickly as beads of sweat started to role down his forehead, not wanting Ais to dwell on the small statement. On a planet populated by asexual green men, it wasn't exactly Tomoka's idea of paradise. He would continue to walk now, not entirely sure on where he was going. He assumed he was just waiting for Ais' approval to hop on into the sky to go get a bite to eat, but he wasn't entirely sure.
"Well like I said, I know a few places. The names aren't important, but they have good food, better than you'll get in the Castle, I promise." Tomoka would once again say, trying to get back on the previous topic at hand. "It doesn't matter where we go, they basically all have to make everything, to little people who eat to make specialized restaurants, and a good thing. We don't want this turning into Earth, do we?" Tomoka joked, before he began hovering in the air. "So let's get a move on, I'm practically starving."

Ais listened as Tomoka spoke of the capitol. Apparently they had a few restaurants there. He hoped they had something good. He wasn't in the mood for just any old crap. He hadn't had a meal he actually liked since he came to this planet. The Changeling wanted to change that today. "We shall go to one of each. A diner, a restaurant, AND a food cart." Ais stated with certainty. It seemed he already had his plan. The Arcosian was going to eat like he never ate before. He hoped they had some Earth-themed restaurants. As much as Ais criticized and laughed at the tiny backwater world, he was a fan of their food.
Ais had never been to the planet of course, but their chef back home was from Earth. Ais got to taste a lot of the planet's most famous dishes. His stomach growled at the thought of a giant bowl of ramen. That was one of his favorites. Ais made a note to ask Tomoka if there were any ramen shops in town. If there were, he might be content to just stay there all afternoon. "Well then, Cello, shall we get going?"
"On your command, my lord." Cello replied, standing near Ais as he waited to take off for the capitol. The Namekian was still thinking about the battle and what came of it. Ais had seemed to put his prejudice aside in this instance. Maybe there was hope for him after all. Maybe joining the Mazoku Dominion was a good call on his lord's part. It forced him to work together with people he might not work with otherwise. Or people he ESPECIALLY wouldn't work with in the case of Tomoka. Ais nodded when Cello mentioned he was ready to go.
"We'll have Tomoka here lead the way. I've never been to the capitol before." Ais floated up into the air ascending to be even in height to the Saiyan, Cello following behind him. The Arcosian looked to his Saiyan comrade. "Well then, i'm following you."
[OOC] Alrighty! I'll exit after you do.]

As Tomoka took off, he couldn't help but laugh at the large amount of food the Arcosian planned on eating. "Well, someone hasn't had much to eat since he got here, and clearly forgot we're on a budget." Tomoka joked, and began flying towards the capital. In all seriousness, he was actually all to eager to follow Ais' plan, Tomoka was hungrier than a bull, and as much of he could get, the better. Tomoka was skeptical about the Earth food, as he wondered if their food would be as unappealing as their women. Attractive on the outside? Hells yes. But, once you actually tasted it, and experienced all it had to offer, you found it was lacking in the most important department: flavor. Nevertheless, he would hope that the food was good, having never experienced it before. Tomoka began flying to the capital, which was probably only a few minutes away, based on how fast he was going. He began to wonder about exactly what he had done, forming a sort of friendship with the Arcosian. He suddenly began to realize that he may have just made a life changing, or even life saving, decision. Ais was his equal now, but in his final form, there was no beating him. And while this idea had horrified Tomoka when they were adversaries, it made his heart leap with joy now that they were proper comrades in arms. With Ais by his side, unless he were facing incredibly strong enemies, there was no beating them. Ais had a transformation that was comparable to the Oozaru, and he had complete and total control over this transformation, with no drawbacks like a loss in mobility or flight. The power at Ais' disposal was amazing, and it couldn't possibly be overstated. All these thoughts rushed through Tomoka's head as he flew towards the ever approaching Capital of Namek, grinning as some of the buildings came into an ever clearer view. He wondered why this was one of the only serious settlements on the planets, as the only other two massive buildings residing on this planet was that of Castle Mazoku and the Grand Elder's village. He doubted there was anything else on the planet worth his time though, so he shrugged, and simply continued flying.
His decisions here today would continue to follow him through the rest of his life, and he knew it. Taking on such a powerful ally, with such high potential, who could become more powerful no matter how many limitations were put in his way. He had several transformations which relegated his own power, allowing him to become stronger. He would envy the Arcosians in this way, and would hope he would achieve such immeasurable power, for he knew it was possible... it would just take a very long time though. A very, very long time. But time was an ally of the Mazoku Dominion, and Tomoka was, like his Arcosian counterpart, a servant of Lord Xylo.

Ais and his bodyguard followed the Saiyan through the air towards the capitol. They stayed slightly behind, letting Tomoka take the lead. Ais glanced over at his new comrade, thinking. This Saiyan was different than the ones that attacked his home. He had differing views from the rest of his kin. Some of these just so happened to align with his own. That threw him for a loop. It didn't make him rethink his hatred for Saiyans. Not by a long shot. But perhaps he found the exception to the rule.
The Arcosian would have to keep an eye on this one. He could see an interesting future ahead for he and Cello. This all had certainly been interesting so far. He got a taste of the heights his power could soar, met Lord Xylo himself, and now he could add his meeting with the Saiyan pariah to that list.
Cello closed his eyes to feel the breeze on his skin. In all honesty, he was happy to be home. It made him wonder why he ever left in the first place. Things were different now, what with the change in leadership, but Namek still felt like home to him. Not that he would admit it, but he was proud he could show his lord where he grew up. He wished it was under different circumstances, however. It seemed that there was at least a silver lining to the mutiny.
Cello knew that Ais's opinion of Saiyans changed. Whether his opinion of all of them changed or just of this one, the Namekian wasn't sure. Either way, it was at least a start. He hoped that in time, he would come to see that blaming the Saiyan race as a whole for the actions of their empire was foolish. He hoped, at least.
