(As a quick note, Yuken and I are going to be returning back to the two of y'all up there.)
Pieter noticed the saiyan was near passing out. He sped over as quick as his weary state could to catch Yuken, shouting out, "Woah now!"
The saiyan fell face forward, barely conscious of what was happening. Pieter looked him over and muttered, "Ah, shuck ta! He really did pour all he had into that, didn't he?"
The hunter started looking around at the environment, moving as quickly and safely as he could to gather some berries. Pieter was reasoning, at the moment, that this young saiyan had to get some energy in him, so he didn't completely pass out. In addition, he needed water, as his body heat would have shot up and practically burnt out the water. Pieter first found a mulberry bush, picking a good handful before moving back to Yuken.
He flipped the saiyan over, opening his mouth as he told him, "Eat. Wake up, Yuken!"
Pieter helped Yuken chew and swallow the berries. He then picked him up, knowing that his thirst would partially be quenched by them. He was going to bring Yuken to the others, so they could watch over him while he went to get water. The hunter floated up the mountain, shooting above the clouds once more, and arriving in time to see Hyoza and Alex engaged in their training. He asked, "Hyoza, and you. If it is not much trouble, can you watch over this guy? He exerted himself too much shooting a powerful attack before."

Hyoza stopped himself from striking the boy as Pieter returned - carrying the Saiyan who had attacked them. He dropped the boy off and asked Hyoza and Alex to look after him while he fetched water.
Hyoza watched as Pieter flew away, before looking back at the weak Yuken on the ground. He'd been left to babysit. What an insult! First the monkey refused to spar, instead instructing him to fight with the weakling human, then he had the audacity to ask him to babysit another monkey-tailed moron? A moron who had attacked him, no less! This had gone beyond acceptable. Beyond a joke. Hyoza would not stand by and allow this to go on!
With that thought spurring him on, Hyoza aimed a nonchalant kick at Yuken's gut before lifting off the ground, stopping to speak to Alex.
"I don't know about you, boy, but I'm not sitting around here looking after a wounded enemy. Pieter can babysit his own prisoners. See you around."
Hyoza sped off towards the Northern Horizon, not taking even a second to look back. If people weren't prepared to take him seriously, he would soon change their minds...

(In order to get things moving along, Alex is being shifted out of the thread until he comes back.)
Alex found himself being flipped around, on his backside! Hyoza was taking this seriously, as he was berating his combat style. He stayed on the ground for a moment, staring up at the into the air in astonishment. He figured he would've at least gotten a blow in, but he found himself immediately on his back side. He needed to go somewhere, somewhere to refine his skills. Soundlessly, he stood up, brushing himself off.
He looked at Hyoza and told him, "I got an idea... Thanks for the lesson."
With the thanks, he proceeded to make his way down the mountainside, just as Pieter and Yuken arrived, worn out from their little brawl.

Coughing as he sat up, the odd taste of berries in his mouth, Yuken clutched his stomach in pain and wearily opened his eyes only to be greeted by a blurry green landscape. Sweating profusely and near the brink of exhaustion the boy spied that the black dye on one of his bangs was faded and quickly grabbed a handful of wet dirt best he could manage, rubbing the mud through the strands till the white was no longer visible.
Many questions raced through Yuken's mind as he tried to figure out why he was still alive, or better yet why they hadn't taken him back to the ship. Starting to feel as though he may have misjudged the situation the boy turned around slowly when the sound of footsteps reached his ears.

(To get this thread rolling again, and to hopefully spark some muse back in ya, Hyoza! ) It seemed that Yuken had been awakened. Pieter was about to speed off to quickly get water, but it seemed that the human had went off. Pieter wasn't all that sure about the Acrosian, so he figured he'd stay instead of go get water. The white haired saiyan had tried to cover up his hair, for whatever reason. It befuddled Pieter to why he'd do this. He walked over and sat down next to him. He asked, "What reason do you have to try and cover your hair in nature's skin, Yuken? Are you ashamed of what you are? A white haired saiyan?"Pieter scoffed at the thought he blurted out! It was probably insulting the the saiyan! Most saiyans had brown or black hair, so he probably felt insecure about himself. The hunter told him, "You're in the company of a half breed tattoo'd in blue and red, as well as an Acrosian... This is Hyoza, speaking of which. Hyoza, this wild, white haired saiyan is Yuken. I just met Hyoza, as well as that kid that left before, just as you showed up," Pieter iterated, with a gesture of an open palm towards Hyoza, "Now, as for your appearance, you've no reason to hide it. You're in the nature's bosom, so whatever it is that has you frightened, to the point where you tried to fight me before, is really unneeded. What brought you to these mountains, Yuken?"

(Just as a quick question, I thought Hyoza said he was leaving the thread?)
If there was a word Yuken would use to describe Pieter it would be straightforward. Perhaps abrupt also filled the role. Close, in any sense, would not, however, and thus the half-breed avoided the questioning about his hair altogether, instead focusing on what exactly he was doing on the mountain.
"I was having some lunch when two Saiyans showed up and told me it was time to go back to the ship. I said no. They didn't like that. So I said no a little harder. After that, I felt the earthquakes this Arcosian was making so I decided to check it out. When I saw the three of you, I... well..." the boy looked down a few moments, embarrassed as he coughed quietly into his hand before finally finishing his sentence. "I thought the Saiyans had sent you guys after me for what I did. What I want to know though, is why exactly you kept me alive. Not the smartest move to make."
Now finally turning his head to look the hunter in the eye, Yuken was sure to keep note of any movements that would betray a hidden intent of sorts. Even though Pieter wasn't necessarily gunning for his head, the Saiyan could've still been up to something.

(Ah, so he did! So he did... Then in that case...)
Hyoza had made his exit just as Pieter introduced, which offset the hunter a bit. However, it still had been the two of them here, and Yuken seemed talkative. Yuken proceeded to explain that he was eating lunch, when two saiyans showed up and ordered him to the ship. He refuse and was forced to the ship, which Pieter assumed he was alluding to. So, seeing the three of them here freaked him out. He then asked Pieter why he was keeping Yuken alive. To this question, Pieter responded, "I'm not going to kill you because there's no real quarrel. I know a frightened animal when I see one. You and I are not that much different than a bear defending its own well being."
The hunter observed the still rising sun, which was being shrouded in the ethereal veil of the mist still. He looked at Yuken and told him, "An ordeal such as the one you went through, I wouldn't blame you. However, if you're really trying to survive, you wouldn't have tried to attack us before... So let me ask this. Is what you appear as right now natural or did those saiyans do something to you, to remove whatever name you once had?"

While not exactly overjoyed at being called a frightened animal, Yuken visibly calmed down upon hearing there would be no more fighting for the moment. Standing up, albeit it shakily, the boy faced Pieter fully as he spoke to the far taller Saiyan and answered him with a neutral tone.
"Those two Saiyans in didn't do much to me compared to the others. Let's just say... I didn't have the best upbringing. So to answer your question: Yeah, attacking you was natural... and at the same time not..." Looking down, the boy tightened his hand into a fist as he repressed some less than pleasant memories. "I always used to run away from a fight, or when someone told me what to do, I did it best I could so that they'd just leave me alone. But not anymore. I'm done running. And if those big jerks won't leave me alone, I'll just send them all back, broken, till there aren't any left to come after me."
Suddenly realizing he had said more than intended, Yuken turned back to Pieter and looked him in the eyes again, guaging his reaction.

Yuken seemed to calm, despite the insult. He danced around that attacking Pieter, Hyoza, and that human on whether it was natural or not. He then elaborated, with a stirring confidence that seemed bubble up, that he was going to fight these people off, should they find him, and break their bones before sending them back. To Pieter, though, this statement was just another version of fright. After all: Pieter was being hunted by the world for his crimes.
"So, for safety, you will transgress into the dark pit of your soul for violence and send back men, broken physically and mentally," the hunter asked, staring back into the eyes of this slightly younger saiyan, "That path will beget more violence and more visits to that dark place. Turning towards the brightness of your soul will only blind you to what will happen... Violence is only the tool of tools, Yuken. This world demands a middle ground to be met in order to live your life. I know this for I once visited that dark place, causing much death, though not at my own hand..."
Pieter stood up and moved to the edge of the cliff, as the sun rose fully above the clouds, pausing and collecting his next thought together. The mist appeared much like a grey and white blanket, draping the Earth in it's cool veil, while the sun shown brightly up above. It warmed his skin up nicely, as he came full circle.
"One last thought, before we part ways, Yuken: When you encounter your demons, Yuken, what will you do? When you've found your answer, come find me here," Pieter asked, before turning to the white-haired saiyan. He waved off and fell through the white veil, to return to his temporary cave-home. That was all he could do for Yuken. Lessons in words, to help him reveal his soul.

Yuken watched as Peter left, following the bulky Saiyan with his eyes till the hunter was completely out of sight. Truly, the boy felt like dismissing Peter's advice as it seemed a tad cheesy... but he could not deny there was truth in the Saiyan's words. If he started on a path of only death and pain, would he not end up just like those he hated. On the other hand he knew of little else, having been raised on Planet Vegeta it was expected. Granted, Peter had pointed out choosing a path of total gentleness was foolish, picking a middle ground was not the easiest thing for the boy either.
Feeling his resolve in using any means necessary to defeat the Solarian Empire shaken, Yuken knew he would indeed need some time to sort out his feelings... perhaps he would even return to the hill as requested.
Feeling that the worst of his injuries were mostly healed, and that some of his strength had returned, Yuken rose off the ground gently and looked off into the horizon with determination.
He would face his demons one way or another and whether he would defeat them or join them... only time could tell.
