Blink blink. Gosh… “ I’m… sorry for being gone so long. “ And with that, he gently goes to wrap his own arms around the gecko-hybrid. His eyes shut as he takes a deep breath, trying his best to put feelings into words. It’s hard. “ It’s… been a while, huh? “ He sighs. How does he act—-

Blink blink. Finding himself back on Earth again after so long… it was like a dream. Almost. Who knows what he’s gotten up to in the mean time? Time-patrolling shenanigans, torrential gods, or just sheer work caused him to be… for lack of better words, absent. But he was back. And in front of—-

( His hand comes up to gently grasp xyr’s. A small bit of worry is obviously evident in his grasp, but he lets a breath go. He’ll try to worry less. ) Alright, I get it… if you trust me, I’ll trust your judgement then… …and no cool magic for me, then… ( Faking a small pout, Hit shakes his head—-

All of the above, huh? They were a greedy little plant, that’s for sure… He knows that, if they were truly rooted, they would try and stretch as high as possible to get all the sunlight they could. Still, a small chuckle left his mouth as he knows too- they can’t eat all that damn food. —-

( Even if he can't feel in through the armor and layers of scars... at least he knows they're there. He knows that they aren't going anywhere... Then again... ) I can't help but worry for you, Allyster... only bad things happen to people I care for, y'know? ( A heavy sigh leaves him. He's---

... Just watching them contort around like a snake was certainly... something. He'll have to make the bed once they're up and out of it... He's always hated making the bed... " Well, at least making food for you gives me something to do. " Leaning against the wall, Hit let out a small sigh---

“ Oh, you’re awake? “ Stepping out of the master bath with a towel loosely around his shoulders and only the bottom half of his regular outfit. “ I had just completed my morning training. Hence the shower. I hope I wasn’t too loud. “ He walks forward and sets his towel on a rack. —-

( Looking down at them, the small smirk leaving his face. ) It’s been quiet in the galaxy recently. I haven’t been up to much with my job, and… ( His face scrunches up, and then relaxes again. It’s clear than when he’s not actively doing something, things get… hard, to say the least. ) —-

( And bam! The muffins are in the oven! ) They should only take about 12 minutes… ( He turns back to look at them, crossing his arms at their apparent sarcasm. ) Well, if you find it in your heart of hearts, it would be great if you could help me. ( A small smirk forms on his face as he sets—-

…how old was I when Earth got annihilated? I wasn’t too old… maybe somewhere around two hundred? I wasn’t in a gardening phase back then… Now I’m trying to actually grow my own Earth plants. The berries, vegetables, all of that… ( As he’s idly talking, he’s preparing the mix, getting out little—-

…alright, alright. ( He sighs, and then chuckles. Gently bringing a hand up to pat between their horns ) If you’re dying, there are snacks in the cabinet. I restocked them yesterday… I still have some muffin mix around here somewhere. But they will take a little to bake. ( He steps away, —-

I’m sure if you trained with me, you could. All living beings have some amount of ki in them… and it just takes work for more. ( He shrugs ) But those big blasts aren’t for me. ( Setting the pans down on the counter, he turns and looks at them ) Besides… whats it matter how strong you are if—-

Yeah. Where you come from… ( Rolling his eyes and grabbing two 12 muffin trays ) Here our most advanced teleportation techniques barely stretch across planets… nonetheless the cosmos?

I don’t think so… that’s just how it works. ( He shakes his head ) And if there are limits, they certainly don’t limit you… ( He opens a cabinet and inside are like dozens of baking trays all neatly stacked… ) They can, if you want. Though I could make multiple flavors…

I don’t think you’ve done anything… ‘normal’ You tear open portals across space and time to teleport across the multiverse… if I had those powers I’d be the best assassin in this multiverse. ( Opening up his pantry which is basically a separate room ) Hm… pastry trays…

… ( Blink blink ) I’m not even going to ask… ( Walking off to go get a muffin tray ) Do you want to… help at all?

…are you alright…?

…do I need to bake muffins for you, dear?

…yeah. And that time will come, I’m sure… But if someone is to take you prematurely, there’s no reason to rush your fate or whatever…

I hope so darlin’ ( Takes a loooooooong sip of whiskey. ) Though I’d always use the dragonballs to revive you anyway… not like anyone could stop me. Heh.

I’ve had a lot of time to think. And read. Heh. And I’ve grown to worry about you more. I can’t follow you around with all these portals and stuff that you’re able to do… But all this time, I’ve just hoped you’ve kept safe.

Love… Wherever you go, whatever you do… Just stay safe. Whenever you tire, my home is always yours.

... " Losing a mother is one of the hardest things you can go through in life. " Hit stepped away from her, a sigh coming from him. He overreacted. She was in distress- mourning. He shouldn't have retaliated like that... Moron. " ...I'm sorry you've had to go through it. It's a pain I---

...where to begin? As they sobbed under the counter, Hit turned away. He still couldn't help but blame himself for their sorrow. After all, wasn't he the closest one to them? It was his mission to ensure their safety, stability... and he had not. 𝙃𝙚 𝙝𝙖𝙙 𝙛𝙖𝙞𝙡𝙚𝙙. He stared idly at the---

" You know me all too well, Son Goku. However, I've tried that before, and we both know it only worked temporarily... " Hit chuckled to himself. Goku was a strange man... " Instead, we'll just do this the old fashioned way. " Without a hint of warning, Hit flashed forward, approaching Goku---

" Your mother is gone, Elizabeth. " He let out a sigh. " The only reason she could leave in peace is because I gave my word to protect you. She only ever stayed around to keep you around. She cared for you. And now, she's given that responsibility to me. I'm here to tell you to stay safe. "

... He looked away. What was he even supposed to say? Had he really treated them that badly? Has the world? They were such a... cute, innocent, tiny little creature. Why would anyone want to hurt them? ...𝘸𝘩𝘺 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘩𝘦? For a moment, he closed his eyes. His own tears burning behind his---

" I don't particularly 'need' something. " Hit would let out a small sigh. " I don't know if your mother ever mentioned me, but I've been her drinking buddy for the past couple years... I'm here on her behalf. "

What. The. Fuck. Hit's eyes go wide with what he's seeing. Even through the worst things, Allyster has always been happy and joyful, and yet here he is... Being sad? Being angry? Hit can't quite tell what he's mad at, or even what caused any of this. But he does understand the pain. Of---

- @rebeldyke.bsky.social - As Elizabeth was minding her business... suddenly, a strange noise rattled in her ear. One of shattered glass. Then, a noise came from behind her. A noise that was a voice. " It was trouble tracking you down... but you're finally back. "

- @low-classlegend.bsky.social - It was a normal, quiet day on Earth. No threats, no evil, just pure relaxation for the Saiyan. When Goku found the time to go out in a field and train, all was perfect. Except that, after a bit of training, the world seemed to grow quiet around him. ---

" What... the... " Hit had no words in this moment. He truly didn't understand what had just happened. Allyster was... angry? They were never angry! And did he see fire coming from that? That certainly wasn't ordinary, either. Something was really, really wrong. And he knew he had to help. ---

It had been two weeks. Two weeks they had been away. Hit thought that, like normal, they'd come back. But this was the longest they've been away... So he went to investigate. Traveling to Universe 7's Earth, to find the one he cared for most. When arriving to their shop, he was certainly---

“ …oh… “ Well, what the hell was he supposed to do now? That’s the extent of his ‘supporting people’ knowledge… “ I-I’m sorry, Allyster… “ He let out a small sigh, just standing in place and gently holding them when they wanted to be held. He didn’t want to say anything else. Or, rather—-

" Hey, hey. It's okay, It's okay. Let's go sit down, hm? I'm sure there's some nice plants or someone you've met or something you want to tell me about, right? " He begins to gently guide them toward the couch, giving enough pauses between steps for them to sob their little heart away.

Is there some sort of war going on? I hate when these things happen... Although I am always open for hire...

Ah, shit. Not again... Gently wrapping his arms around their shoulders, he'd embrace them gently. " It's alright. I'm back. And I wouldn't leave you alone. Didn't you see the note I left for you? " Hit let out a small sigh as he tried to best to comfort them. Luckily this wasn't the first time...

" I- I'm glad you missed me? " He blinks a few times, taken aback by this wild attack. " I wasn't gone that long, right? "
