Koshu's eyes widened for a moment as the queen pulsed a wave of energy. For a minute, he just sat there, awe painted across his countenance.
After Habana spoke though, his expression shifted with a twinge of irritation into genuine confusion as the queen pushed starkly against his gesture. The dark skinned saiyan set down his now empty bowl on the table and sat back down. His eyebrows curled apologetically.
"You have my apologies," the older saiyan spoke curtly, "I have no intentions to encroach upon you." He had to remember that this wasn't just any strange maybe-saiyan: this was the queen of the strange maybe-saiyans, and she had to be treated as such. And it seemed she still had a few tricks up her sleeve.
"I can answer any more questions you have about my people," Koshu replied, now manicuring his tone both due to the public setting and his perceived irritability of the saiyan queen, "Or if you've heard enough, I'd be fascinated to learn more about the history of your Empire."
Just then, the young brenchian returned with a glass of the spirit, and the dark skinned saiyan accepted it graciously. "Thank you." Koshu drank it as was customary: after swallowing the liquid in a single gulp, he handed the glass back to the brenchian with a nod.

Habana let out a heavy sigh as she allowed herself to relax back into her chair a bit once it became evident that Koshu had no further interest in pushing the situation, part of her curious if it had been her power that had done the job of cowing the clearly quite proud warrior or her position as Queen of the Empire, or if he had simply not intended to come off the way he had.
“Much as I’m interested in the Saiyans of Beppa, I think perhaps I should let you know that I’m fairly certain some aspects of what you believe to be the history of the Saiyans to be… inaccurate” Habana said trying her very best to not just outright say that literally almost every word of his story was almost certainly complete and utter fiction.
“Mostly because the Empire knows the history of the Saiyans very well and our origins do not begin on Beppa. Our original homeworld was destroyed during the emergence of the first Super Saiyan, we were forced to take to the stars and found ourselves a new planet to call home where we have remained ever since.” Habana explained deciding to keep things very simple to start with in order to guage how Koshu would react to being informed that his beliefs were inaccurate.
“There is obviously quite a bit more to it then that but that is the start of things”

Koshu was relieved that the queen didn't seem to be too frustrated at his apparent faux pas, and he settled back into a gentler state of mind as the conversation trickled back into normalcy.
Habana seemed unsure or upset to confess something to him, and certainly he listened acutely. Even when she began the conversation by stating that his historical account of the saiyan people was inaccurate.
She continued on to state that the original saiyan home world was destroyed during the emergence of this first super saiyan, that supposed form that she kept steering the conversation towards. Koshu scratched his chin a bit, and then graciously accepted another glass of wine from the serving brenchian, downing it once more, this time keeping eye contact with the queen as he did it. He seemed more perplexed at her commitment to her story than upset.
"Well—" He raised an eyebrow, placing his elbows on the table as he began to feel the strong liquor, "How far back do these records date? We have records dating back hundreds of thousands of years, Habana." He spoke with a genuine desire to communicate with her, as if they were attempting to solve a logical puzzle together. "It is more than possible that the so called original planet of your saiyan Empire was simply a deposit of Beppan Saiyans from hundreds of thousands of years in the past. After all, it seems that you've diluted with other races, becoming quite a bit lighter than us."
He paused and scratched the side of his shaven head. "Perhaps even this Super Saiyan form is a result of divergent evolution. After all, the Beppan Saiyans have never mingled with such a state… At least not as you've described it."

Habana pinched the bridge of her nose, how it was that Koshu’s Saiyans had records dating back anywhere near hundreds of thousands of years was beyond her comprehension, unfortunately while she was rather absolutely certain that Koshu’s story was just that, a story, considering that the Empire held firm records for as long as they had been on Vegeta and anecdotal records about what had happened before it would likely just come off to Koshu that because his side somehow had longer kept recordings they would be more accurate.
But then an idea hit Habana, while she felt it rather unlikely that this was the case maybe, just maybe she had an idea on what might have given rise to the saiyans of Beppa. “Our records date back to the destruction of our homeworld several thousand years ago, but I think I might just have a theory of my own on the divide between your saiyans and mine.”
“If much of your account of your peoples history is correct then I think perhaps the earlier Saiyans on Beppa may have embelleshed the history just a bit. Considering how long ago it was it’s theoretically possible that when we were forced to depare our homeworld while most of the Saiyans ended up on the planet that became Planet Vegeta, some either intentionally or accidentally split off and landed here on Beppa. Your claims of Arcosians trying to wipe out your people even fit well with the Empire’s history of our interactions with them, they briefly held dominion over our people and sought to wipe us out but failed just as they did in your story as well.”
“And you cant use our lighter skin as evidence we are not pure Saiyans because your own story says just as much about your people considering your claim that the Saiyans of Beppa mixed with the actual Beppan people, the Saiyans of the Empire have never dwindled in population quite far to necessitate that.” Habana added wanting to cut off that attempt to claim that the Empire’s saiyans were somehow less Saiyan.
“As for your people never encountering the power of a Super Saiyan, that’s actually not particularly surprising considering how rare the transformation has been, only recently have enough Saiyans approached such a level that they could attain it, you’re a little under a third of the strength necessary to begin trying to unlock it..”

Koshu hummed softly and scratched his chin as Habana interspersed her own adaptive history of the Beppan saiyans, just as Koshu had prevented for the empire saiyans. He supposed that in terms of a "empire-centric" history, it made sense logically. "It's plausible," he commented with a reassuring nod, although his features remained unimpressed, "The persecution of our people by the arcosians could've lined up well enough.
It seemed that Habana wasn't going to have any of his theory on biological differences between the saiyans, as she quickly dismissed his comment on her much paler skin. "Of course," Koshu said with a nod, "I'm sure there's no significant divergence in our biology. Aside from the lack of occasional Beppan copulation." He was now much more relaxed with her, conversing with a much quicker flow. His tone still resided in a raspy baritone, but now it was quicker— and more eager to curve up at the edges. "Your Empire's saiyans prefer to remain pure I take it then?"
She kept coming back to this super saiyan form, and so he indulged her. "A third of the strength," he repeated back to her in amused ponderance. "Well, I delight to think that I can pursue the legendary form of your half of the race." He smiled at her, joking more than patronizing.
Now though, Koshu was beginning to paradoxically claustrophobic in such a large cafeteria, surrounded by wandering eyes and unwelcome ears. He contemplated heading back to more private quarters again, but now decided it would be a better decision to leave it in the hands of the Empire's queen. "You'd rather stay here, or head back somewhere more private?" He was much more casual this time, somewhat turned off by her previous rigidity. "It's dense in here."

Habana very nearly let out a sigh of relief as Koshu seemed to either accept the possibility that his oddball history of the Saiyan race might not be accurate or at the very least was not interested in arguing it further, at this point Habana wasn’t sure what else she could do to actually try and correct the older Saiyan without actively tearing into the weirdness of what he had claimed to be a genuine history of their people. At the very least now they had the basis for an idea on how Koshu’s Saiyans had come to be and it held a reasonable level of plausibility even if it still remained a bit off that they had escaped the Empire’s knowledge for so long. Part of Habana was curious how introducing someone like Koshu to scouter technology would go over, he seemed to not quite believe her claims about the scale of power between themselves and even where he fell in general, giving him an understanding at some point down the road would hopefully just fuel the fire for the older warrior to push himself harder to reach the levels that Habana had told him about. Taking a brief look around Habana noted that the cafeteria HAD become a bit crowded, during their chat it seemed that a fair amount of soldiers and even a few new recruits from Beppa had arrived for some food and a chance to relax, the volume of strangers seemed to be making Koshu more than a little uncomfortable which DID make a fair amount of sensed considering his claims were that he and his people had mostly separated themselves from normal society. “We can head out from here I suppose, it seems the rush is about to begin so it’s probably for the best.” Habana gestured for Banra to take care of the now mostly empty trays and bowls that she and Koshu had taken and likewise handed off the remainder of the bottle to him to return to the kitchens. “Is there anywhere you would like to see on the ship?” Habana asked standing and rolling her shoulders as she waited for Koshu’s response.

Koshu was relieved that the queen had received his request to head out more warmly this time, and stood alongside her, watching her hand off the bottle of wine to the attendant who had been waiting throughout the meal.
"Hrm-" The saiyan was growing antsy now, confined for so long inside the ship. He craved the suffocating Beppan Heat pressing against his skin. The fifty year old saiyan considered asking the queen to spar, but she had clarified moments earlier that she was apparently way out of his league. He frowned.
"I have to return home soon," he stated blankly, "My people will be wondering where I've been. How many days has it been..?" Koshu watched as more saiyans, brenchians and- now Beppans- entered the mead hall, armwrestling at tables and laughing in the lines.
The dark skinned saiyan scratched at his stubble before scanning the room for a window to peer out of, finding none. "Is there anything notable left to see?"

“You were actually only out for the day, my team on the Zenith is pretty damn good at what they do and thankfully Jala only mashed your ribs and not your skull” Habana said with a laugh though it really was quite lucky for the wild Saiyan that they had not gotten off on the wrong foot, while Koshu’s bravado had perhaps grated Jala’s nerves a bit it was nothing she wasn’t used to . “Aside from the training chambers not really at least as far as stuff I’d show someone unenlisted in the Empire, but you are right even if its just been a day your people are probably on edge considering how sperate you said you keep from civilization, we set the little one up with some basic equipment to help him stay safe on his way back to wherever you’re lot are hiding since I wasn’t exactly keen on some sort of guerilla attack to try and recover you and the kid.” “I’ll likely be departing for Vegeta, our current homeworld, within a day or so since I have work I need to handle. So long as nothing goes wrong I’ll be returning not long after, the soldiers sticking behind have orders to kick the Arcosians off the planet if they don’t accept the regime change so I’d reccomend laying low for a bit since they’ll be antsy.” Habana said slowly leading the way to the ships exist assuming that as Koshu was interested in returning to his people that he intended to leave soon. “Once things on Beppa are a bit more settled the Empire should be able to supply you and your group with equipment like what you have now, maybe some scouters too though I imagine you lot will take a bit to get used to them. I’d like to meet more of the Saiyans of Beppa at some point. With luck you’ll get to meet Shemha and Pin next time as well” Oh boy would it be quite the task trying to explain to either of them about what Koshu had claimed.
[Seems like a good place to wrap up unless you had other plans? If we do I’ll be gettin some PL!]

Koshu nodded, satisfied that he hadn't been out for too long. He really was eager to return home to his people. And he was glad that Habana made sure Eppe was safe.
"You'll have to show me the planet someday," Koshu joked dryly, never intending to leave Beppa in his life.
Koshu nodded as she said that they would be kicking the arcosians off the planet soon. But his issue was larger than arcosian occupation. It was the Beppans themselves, who cruelly abused the saiyan population any time they dared to stray from the mountains. He paused for a moment, thinking deeply. With saiyan occupiers on the planet... The Beppan Saiyan's chances of finally emerging from the shadows increased exponentially.
If the saiyan force agreed to help them in a takeover of the Dore outpost, than the Beppan Saiyans could finally establish themselves... Perhaps even forge an alliance with the empire. As it stood though, it was too early to trust the empire on any level besides his cautious personal trust with Habana.
Koshu grunted in a low tone at Habana's offer to introduce him to more of the Empire saiyans, and get his people fixed with scouters. This was a unique opportunity, and he was going to take advantage of it as quickly as possible.
The shorter saiyan's tail wrapped around his waist tenderly, and he paced out into the hallway alongside Habana.
"Thank you for your hospitality, and for the story of your people. I believe we will be working with eachother again shortly." Koshu extending his palm to shake her hand. "I'll be heading out into the wilderness now. I ask that you make sure none of your soldiers are taking note of my whereabouts."
...This ship was a labyrinth. "Where did you say the exit was again?"
