Etoru continued to struggle with Tania’s explanation of what exactly an android was. He still wasn’t quite getting in. The girl was half tempted to just give up and say that she really was just magic, but real adventurers never gave up! However, they sometimes beat a hasty retreat to continue the fight another day, which may have been a good idea for now. He probably wouldn’t be able to understand until he got to see a bunch of less complex electronics in action. For that, he’d need to be somewhere civilized, not in the middle of a forest. ”Yeah, most electronics have a button or switch that turn them on and off,” Tania explained, thankful that she wasn’t one of them. ”You should go to South Capitol some time. There are a bunch of stores there that sell that kind of stuff.”
While Tania had begrudgingly admitted that sometimes running away from a fight was needed, Etoru was sticking to his guns. After bidding Sanngrior farewell, the boy looked back at Tania and asked her what Vegeta was, commenting that it was a funny name in the process. ”I know, right?” Tania agreed with him on the name sounding strange. ”I’m not sure why there are Saiyans on Vegeta. I was just told that they would be there when I went. But the only person I saw there that wasn’t Charlene or Mr. Cipher 24 was Mr. Green Guy, who was something called a Saibaman.”
”I’m pretty sure she had a cold. She didn’t sound very good at all. That means she probably went home to go get better. Maybe I should have recommended some chicken soup. I hear that’s supposed to help too...” Tania answered Etoru as he asked about Sanngrior. The synthetic child thought that the woman being sick was an obvious answer, but the dark haired boy seemed to be a little nervous about it for some reason. Was he worried about catching her cold? Maybe some preemptive words of wisdom were in order. ”She wasn’t doing any coughing or sneezing, so I wouldn’t worry about catching it.”
Much to Tania’s surprise, the boy started to call into the forest to bring her out of hiding. That wasn’t very nice... Picking on people like that was wrong, especially if they were sick! He was also asking her to use her ‘magic’ to find her. ”Aww, be nice... I told you she was just going home to get some rest,” the android scolded. Sanngrior wasn’t there anymore and she was going to prove it. Tania activated the scanners in her eyes and combed the area with them. There wasn’t anyone around aside from the critters roaming the forest. ”We’re definitely the only ones out here. You’re just being silly.”
”And it’s not magic. It’s electronic!”

Etoru was listening intently as she described Vegeta. He never heard about Vegeta before and listened very carefully just in case he needed this information later. He giggled as she agreed with his comment about Vegeta being a funny name but quickly hushed as she continued to explain what it is. He pouted when she exclaimed she didn't really know why Sayians were there. "Um...Tania? Who are Charlene and Mr.Cipher 24? Are they Sayians too?" Etoru asked curiously. "The only Sayians I actually met were Ten and Ms.Zerori..." He added in. "And what the heck's a Saibaman...is it like a um...what do city people call it...super hero?" Etoru giggled when he heard the name. He thought it was silly for someone to be a SUPER hero. Why super? Isn't a hero just a hero and that's that? "Sorry I'm asking so much questions Tania. This is the weirdest and wackiest thing I've ever bumped into! But I like that stuff, it usually leads to exploring. I like seeing new things." He grinned.
While Etoru waited for Tania's answer about using her 'magic' scanners, he looked around nervously.. He was doing his best to hide his fear but who knows how well that's going for him. It's not everyday you see a hooded person with a raspy voice sneak up on you and then just...randomly leave! It isn't normal! Etoru knew her power was incredibly high and was worried she'd come back to sneak attack them. He kept his guard up but sort of gave a huff when Tania told him her thoughts about it. "Oh...maybe your right...my grandpa usually puts a nice warm wet towel on my head when I'm sick. I always want to train but he says I'm too sick and I need rest but maybe he's right." Etoru giggled a bit at his last statement. "I wasn't worried about catching it Tani." Etoru replied before giving a little chuckle at the cheesy nickname he gave her. Etoru began to call her out hiding his fear and trying his best on acting brave. "Huh? Be nice? She's goingggg toooo killll usss!!!!!" Etoru said exaggerating his tone a bit. "Come on you have magic abilities you had to sense her power! It's crazy high! And worst of all she could be holding back! We're gonna di-I mean AHEM!" Etoru cleared his throat trying to act brave. "She's strong and uh...Tania what are you doing?" He was watching her scan the forest. As he got his answer he felt relieved.
"Phew!" Etoru wiped his forehead. He can be a bit of a chicken when it comes to these kinds of things, although he'd never admit it even if it was pointed out. Although he did admit it with Seka but that was because he had to do what he had to do to get into the Z-Fighters. As all the stress and fear washed away from Etoru, he felt great. In fact he was felt so relieved he unexpectedly hugged Tania. He pushed back gently a bit and blushed in embarrassment. "I uh oh...." He scratched the back of his head and laughed stupidly. He didn't want her to think he was scared but maybe it was a bit too late for that.

”Naw. Charlene’s a human, and Mr. Cipher 24’s an android just like me. They’re my friends from the Blue Banner Army,” Tania corrected the boy. ”And the Saibaman that I met was a green with no hair and claws for fingers. He was only a little bit taller than me, and all he ever said was ‘kiiiii kiiiii’.” The small girl had never thought of the possibility of Mr. Green Guy being a super hero before. He hadn’t really seemed like the type, unless being super good at charades was his power. Actually, that sounded cool!
Etoru claimed that he wasn’t worried about catching Sanngrior’s illness, along with giving her an odd little nickname. Tania tilted her head to the side curiously at being called ‘Tani’. She had never had a nickname before, unless you counted ‘kid’ or ‘little girl’ as nicknames. Everyone else had always just stuck to calling her Tania. It wasn’t necessarily bad, she just wasn’t sure how to react. Anyway... if Etoru wasn’t worried about getting sick, then what was his problem? Though, just as she was mentally asking herself that question, the boy went ahead and answered.
”Kill us? What are you talking about?” Tania asked somewhat sternly, placing her hands on her hips. ”Sure she was dressed a little funny, she had that weird halo thing over her head, and her voice sounded raspy, but that doesn’t mean she was bad. You’re worrying too much.” The dark haired boy seemed to calm down once it was confirmed that Sanngrior wasn’t around anymore. She still didn’t get what he thought was so bad about her, but maybe that was just a case of him being weird.
”Eh?” The synthetic child was caught a little off guard by the sudden hug she found herself in. However, she quickly got over this shock and hugged Etoru back. ”Yay! Hugs!” she squealed before they let go of each other. Hugs were nice. They always felt cozy and were a great indicator that however many people were involved were friends with each other. Though, he looked a bit nervous when it was over. Was this just another weird thing? First he was being paranoid over some perfectly nice lady trying to kill them, and now he was thrown off by a hug that he started? Boys...
”Aww, lighten up. If it makes you feel any better, me being an android means that there’s a 0% chance of getting cooties,” Tania reassured Etoru before playfully sticking her tongue out at him.

"Oof!" Etoru didn't really expect her to hug him back after the first hug. His cheeks were flustered and he looked around the forest for anyone to be watching. If anyone seen this they'd think he's too 'sweet' to be fighting and he definitely was not 'sweet'. Etoru gave his little confused look when Tania told him to cheer up. "Um...cheer up? I'm not sa-" Etoru realized she probably caught him being embarrassed. Was she just teasing now? Would she tell him later? Or did she really mistake it for being nervous. "Um...cooties?" Etoru never met other kids to actually define what that was. He only met kids once and they played tag and they were both boys and girls. And they didn't mind playing with each other. "Um is cooties another electronic or something?"
"Oh and Mr.Green Guy sounds like an alien. Oh and that means he's about my height right? My grandpa thinks I'm short for my age. Oh um I'm 8 by the way." Sheenu, Etoru's grandfather wasn't wrong. Etoru stood at exactly 4 feet. He usually gets mistaken for being younger than he is, well when they meet other farmers at the market and such. "And that means Mr.Cipher 24 is another magic statue!" Etoru held his laugh. He just burst out laughing. "Just kidding Tani." Etoru began to pace back and forth. He wanted to do something but what? "Hey Tania we should adventure some time! You like adventuring, I like adventuring. Well actually I recently started it I was always kept on my farm doing the same old. Every time I see something new I think it's amazing and well you sure know your way around...so what do ya say?" Etoru had a hopeful grin on his face. "In the mean time...wanna play a game? You could pick Tani!" He giggled again at the nickname.

”Erm, no. Nevermind,” Tania waved off Etoru’s question about cooties. If he didn’t already know about them, there really wasn’t a point in explaining. It was just a silly little fake disease thing that some kids used as an excuse to get out of playing with kids with the opposite gender. But if it wasn’t something like that that was weirding Etoru out about the hug that he started, then what was it? Again, boys...
”Neat! I’m seven,” Tania answered cheerily, freeing her mind of how weird her new friend was acting. Seven may not have been a completely accurate statement for the girl’s age, but it was the mentality she had been programmed for. She was seven the very first time she was activated, she was seven now, and she’d continue to be seven as time continued its never-ending march forward. When Etoru made his comment about Cipher 24 being another magical being, she was tempted to try to correct him again. However, she realized that there was no way for him to ‘get’ it until he at least knew what an electronic device was. It was kind of frustrating. Thankfully, that last comment seemed to be a joke.
Tania’s eyes lit up at the mention of going on an adventure with Etoru. Adventuring?! That was her most favorite thing to do! The second suggestion was playing a game, which was always good option. The small girl opened her mouth to reply, but before the worlds left her she caught a glimpse of the sky. Uh oh, it was almost time for lunch. Her friends in the BBA might get worried about her if she didn’t go back to Site A. She bit her lower lip, looking back and forth between Etoru and the sun’s current position. She wasn’t done playing yet, but she knew that going back was the right thing to do. Aw man... ”Sorry, I can’t today. I have to go meet up with my Blue Banner Army friends,” Tania spoke with a disappointed tone, lifting herself into the air in the process. ”But we should definitely play some other time. I’m looking forward to that adventure, too! See ya later!” With that, the child rocketed off in the direction of the ocean.
