Gira nodded at Nabel as he mentioned that while they could teach Matt the aspects of ki control that didn't involve combat, it might help that feeling in his gut if they taught him martial arts. "Yeah. It might help you to have an outlet as well. Even if you don't really fight anyone." Gira then watched the other Saiyan as a green aura flickered around him. She wondered what could be going on his head. 'It looks like he's thinking. Wonder what he's thinking about.'
At that time, Matt told Gia and Nabel that he believed them to be good natured and that he would allow them to train him without turning him into a mindless killer. Then he spoke of being a defender and a hero. Gira couldn't help but smile at that. She thought similarly when she first started her hero career. It began as a simple goal; protect West Capitol and everyone in it from any and all harm. Her objective has since grown and wasn't quite as simple anymore.
Gira nodded to Matt. "Yeah. We'll train you to be the best hero you can be. You know, I don't wanna kill anyone either." The half-Saiyan smiled at Matt. "So you're not alone in that. I think it's a perfectly noble thing to want to not take lives."

Nabel beamed at the exchange between the three of them. It made him oddly happy, hanging out and making plans with the Saiyans. This wasn't a sensation that he was used to, as he rarely ever hung out with people in his age group. Sure he'd have the odd spar with a fellow teenager every now and then, but given the boy's very much unpleasant appearance, it was very uncommon for anyone to ever stick around the lad. Gira and Mattenes had actually been the first people in a long time that were willing to treat Nabel with a good degree of kindness and respect, aside from the former Turtle Hermit.
So with those tidbits in mind, he gulped guiltily, before speaking up. He needed to be honest to Mattenes. "I'm the physical embodiment of a portion of the mortal realm's excess evil essences." He noted with a pout, but forced himself back into a grin. Despite that however, his earlier excitement remained rather absent, as he instead spoke in a muted manner. He was obviously a little sore about the subject.
"So if we're going by natures, I'm actually an irredeemably depraved monster. I don't like the pictures that flash in my head." He shrugged, before chuckling in attempt to wash away the pain and shame. Despite all that, he spoke in a fairly casual manner.. Nabel had long since accepted who he was and what he was actually good for. But given how his first master saw something greater in him, and his second one died because of their folly, the demon just didn't give a darn if he 'wasn't supposed to act like that'.
"Nurture won out for me though, and I try my best to be good. So you can count on us to keep ya on the right path, Matt." The boy nodded solemnly, before some degree of actual cheer returned to his tone. This time, however, it was mixed with admiration for his new buddies. "Honestly though, I don't see why you're so worried about becoming a killer-" Nabel paused for a moment, thinking of how to properly word what he meant before continuing.
With a few ginger pats on the older boy's back, Nabel began to speak once more. "Just listen to yourself! One of your first idea upon accepting fighties is becoming a hero." He chuckled, sighing slightly as he put his hand in his pocket. Afterwards, he flashed the pair his flush-fueled smile. "I'd say that Mattenes and Gira are pretty dang good people through and through." The demon pumped a fist. "And I'll do my dang best to help with this defender training!"

Matt looked to Nabel as he talked about his existance. He frowned and sat back down "Oh right, you're a Demon like Mammon... Well, to be fair. You're about as kind as a honey marshmallow" He admitted, smiling like a doofus.
"Yeah, You're a good person now" He added as he talked about how nurture won out on him. He then added "I always was taught that violence was a path where people give into thier inner demons. Then I learned it was really my saiyan blood wanting that, im now learning Violence isnt a path where you give into your inner demons. Wow Earth is a learning experience" he interrupted himself.
He then looked to Gira as she explained "Yeah! So, when can we start?" He asks before turning to Nabel as he patted his back, with a small smile.

Gira listened with interest as Nabel explained his origin. Apparently, he was an embodiment of the evil of the mortal realm. Gira wasn't sure if she could believe that. Nabel's appearance certainly lent credence to that fact, but his personality was far from evil. At least, in Gira's view. He had some pretty malevolent energy at times, but Gira sensed no ill intent from him. If he was meant to be an embodiment of the excess evil in the universe, if he was supposed to be a depraved monster devoid of morality, he wasn't doing a very good job. The teen hybrid considered that a good thing, however. She didn't like evil people. Those who followed the ways of evil hurt others, and Gira wouldn't sit by and just let it happen.
She hoped Nabel wouldn't give in to his nature. At the mention of Mammon, Gira visibly cringed, remembering their battle in the Real Steel Tournament. The one that ended in Mammon's surrender, much to Gira's dismay. "Mammon... I don't know about that guy." The half-Saiyan mumbled to no one in particular. At Matt's mention that Nabel wasn't very evil and was, as he put it, "as kind as a honey marshmallow," Gira giggled. She found herself agreeing. "Yeah, you're not very threatening. I'll admit, I might have been a little unnerved by your appearance, but you're really nice! Most people aren't as good as you, so keep up the good work!" Gira gave Nabel a thumbs up then looked at Matt after he mentioned that Earth was a learning experience.
"Hehe, yeah. We kind of have that effect on people. Yup, Earth is one hell of a planet. No place i'd rather be." Gira smiled and looked up at the sky. She never visited another planet before, but Earth was her home. There was no way she could love another planet as much as this one. That was why she decided to dedicate her life to protecting it. "As for when we can start, well... whenever you're ready! Just be warned that I have school most days. So most of the time, I can't do anything until the late afternoon or early evening."

"It's no big deal- you guys are way good-er than I am." Nabel chuckled a little, awkwardly tucking his neck further into the thick collar of his raggedy cloak, as if to hide his reddened face. That course of action wasn't very effective. His cheeks still poked through the cloth, as the boy visibly blushed at the pair's comments, kicking back bashfully and relaxing. The boy felt odd, but in a very good way, as he realized how much different it was being around people again.
Actual living people, not the soulless husks of demonic beings, were voluntarily carrying through a conversation with the lad. That was a rare occurrence for the childlike demon. And even then, he was usually only approached in order to either be bullied or mugged (though he was strong enough by this point in time to send both groups of people scattering into the dumpster.). Two perfectly kind and normal individuals engaging in a friendly conversation with the boy should have been an impossible scenario.
But it was happening right at that very moment, and pigs had yet to fly, at least in the immediate vicinity. Nabel felt like he could bear the whole weight of the world on his shoulders, as his enthusiastic energy shot up from pure joy and a warm heart. He hadn't been this legitimately happy about something unrelated to fighting in nearly a year. He might not have known very long yet, at that moment, but he knew that he had tons to thank them for already.
"Earth's changed me a lot since I got here." The lad added, as he took in a deep sigh. "I don't think I could live anywhere else either." He agreed, before raising a cat-like grin. "Not with you two still around." He winked jokingly, though he was obviously touched, as he moved onto the next topic. His eye immediately twinkled upon opening up again.
"You go to a school, Gira?" Nabel asked excitedly, childish glee in his tone, as he scooted ever so slightly towards her. "Sweet!" The teen nodded, as he processed this new info. "What dojo are you talking about? Can I meet your master sometime?" It seemed like the martial arts obsessed boy may have misunderstood a few things. "Oh, no pressure, of course. This stuff just gets me real excited and junk!"

Matt shivered, before opening his mouth and yawning loudly. He tried stiffling it, but it only served to make him want to yawn more. He wiped at his eyes and nodded "Yeah, earth's weird and interesting." he said. He looked up to where the sun might be and he stretched "I'd like to train with you guys then, but could it be tomorrow? Im really tired now, a lot of emotions and stuff exhausted me" He chuckles a bit, scratching the back of his neck a fourth time. It really did drain him, plus he needed to think of things a bit carefully.
A lot of worldviews were challenged, changed, and affirmed. He needed time to ruminate on what that meant for him. He needed to find out what that meant in the way of moving forward. Plus, the biggest part was that he was abandoning his pacifism, if he ended up regretting this decision, he'd like to remember a final day before he went into this martial arts world. If he didnt regret it, he'd remember the last day for another reason.
Either way. He wanted to sleep on a tree branch with his literal monkey friends. Which- Oh? He looked down to his right hand, a small bunny had skittered over to his hand. It sat there, using his hand to hide the bunny. He raised it to pet it, though if and when Gira or Nabel might notice it, it'd scurry back to the brush. He blinked and gave an amused look. He looked back to them, stood up and stretched one more time. "Oh ah, by the way? What's school?" He asks, realizing how he'd never really understood what school was. He was taught by the elders so- Yeah.

Gira raised her eyebrow at the two reactions to her mentioning school. Nabel seemed to misunderstand what she meant. She didn't mean a martial arts school, though she did train under the Turtle Hermit. Matt seemed to not understand what school was either, but he didn't seem to misunderstand like Nabel. Gira chuckled at the comments of the two before clarifying what she meant. "I don't mean a martial arts school, Nabel. I do train under the Turtle Hermit, Articho..." She pointed to the emblem of the Turtle School on the right breast of her gi. "...but that wasn't exactly what I meant."
She sat down next to her friends and began to explain. "School is, like... a place you go most days to learn basic academics. Like math, science, history, things like that. There are also classes with more practical information like personal finance and home economics. On top of that, you have extra curricular activities-- activities that aren't part of your normal schooling-- like basketball, speech and debate, theater, and my favorite, boxing!" Gira grinned. "I like school. I can't fight outside of boxing, though. That gets you in trouble. It's not like I would fight someone anyway. I can't think of anyone in my school that can match my strength."
Gira giggled. "That's why I decided to take my fighting outside school too. The challenges i've had since then..." Gira thought back to all the battles she had been apart of. Some were easier than others, but all were valuable. With each fight lost, she learned a new area she needed to improve in. With each fight won, she knew what she was doing right. On top of that, all of the battles, whether they were victories or not, were still fun. Through fighting, she had made a lot of new friends too. Friends she might not have met otherwise.
