"I don't abandon friends or comrades. Most of the universe aren't my friends now. Among all who reside in this galaxy, you're the person I trust the most." Nyx took the plaster from Mizuna, using it to cover the bruise that Mizuna had left behind. She almost told her that it was a pointless gesture, despite how nice it was to offer a bandage. The bruise would be gone in half an hour at the most. Her body repaired at a much faster rate then most other living beings, although this one didn't take too much priority since it was a non-lethal injury. "I know I must have given off the impression that I don't trust you in some way. Expressing how I feel about others isn't as simple for me as is for other species. Unless if it involved one pwrticular emotion. I doubt I'll either feel that particular emotion towards you, at least not at an intensity that would prove problematic to our relationship." Nyx took the bag from Mizuna, slowly opening the door and looking around. Her friend was right to give her the bag right now. She was simply much more used to handling things diplomatically then her red-haired friend. She ignored the temptation of the first good meal in a long time and walked inside, and searched into she found someone who was part of the staff. "If you would permit me a moment of your time, I would like to make out a donation to this establishment." [WC=251] [TWC=2,708] |

A kind woman that seemed to be full of smiles beamed at Nyx and Mizuna when she saw them, seeming even happier than she already was when she heard that they wanted to make a donation. "Let me lead you to the Matron, she's the only one that can accept donations" she said, leading the two Aliens into the Orphanage and right to the Matron, who was currently watching over the small children play with the few toys they had. The Orphanage was somewhat clean and the children at least seemed to be well-fed, but the children clearly would prefer to have parents instead of staying her.

Mizuna noticed the change in tune when Nyx mentioned wanting to make the donation that they'd been ASKED to make. It made her sick to think there were people who clung to whatever form of handout they could get. Mizuna was hoping that this would be a fairly brief interaction; drop the donation and be back to the castle as soon as physically possible and since they weren't going to be carrying fragile items, the trip back would be faster. Visible signs that she wasn't comfortable in the least bit around this kind of environment were the occasional twitching of her left hand and just how she was generally the opposite of still. Her eyes kept darting to one side of the room to the other, looking for possible ambush points. This place was deceptively peaceful and the last time Mizuna had let her guard down in a strange and relatively new place, she was knocked out cold and dragged into a living hell. Only she made it out alive from that experience. "Nyx. We're going to make the donation and then double back, right? I don't like this place. It smells wrong." she had lowered her voice, not wanting anyone besides her Sigerian friend to hear her. It would have been bad to be heard by one of the staff after all. It might get back to that Videl woman and cause her and her friend to miss out on the information they were after. [244 Words|3,323 TWC] |

As Nyx walked further into the room, she noticed that Mizuna was especially on edge once they had entered the facility. She was especially twitchy and her eyes kept on surveying their surroundings constantly. Nyx was all for keeping one's guard up at all times, but you couldn't let the paranoia consume you. That was a very dangerous mindset to stay in: there was such a thing as being on your guard too much. "This place's existence is wrong Mizuna. There shouldn't be a place that exists for children without a family in peacetime. We aren't going to get ambushed here though. I would be able to tell if something was amiss. I don't intend on staying here for very long either though, so we will conduct our business and leave." [WC=130] [TWC=2,838] |

The worker at the Orphanage didn't seem to hear the conversation they were having, too overcome with joy over the orphanage receiving a donation to focus on what they were saying. She lead them into what looked like a dining room where a bunch of kids were sat around eating passable, but not great food, and they appeared to be a bit downtrodden due to their orphan status. At the end of the table, a kind elderly woman, who appeared to be the Matron, was consuming her food and reading a book to herself as she did so. The worker bowed to the Matron and spoke up. "Matron, these two kind ladies have come to give us a donation!" the woman said, which caused the rather downtrodden, slightly smelly orphans to perk up visibly, bright smiles appearing on their faces. The Matron immediately pulled her book down and looked at Mizuna and Nyx, before a wide smile appeared on her face. She stood and walked over to them, bowing to them with tears in her eyes as the orphans immediately got up from the table and surrounded the two fighters. The Matron giggled to herself and pattered their heads, before looking at the two. "We are most glad to accept your donation, young ladies. I'm glad that you both have shown such kindness. May Kami bless you with great fortune" she said as she held out her hand, waiting for Nyx to hand her the donation. |

A couple more glances around at the children and she was able to place a finger on part of why the place unsettled her. It reminded her of the slave camps she had seen during her travels, a practice she found distasteful even back then. She understood the words of an old bounty hunter she traveled with now; 'No one walks away from torture unchanged. Not the subject, nor the torturer himself'. Surviving torture and slavery had changed her. She saw things differently and this 'orphanage' seemed like a different form of slavery. The only difference to the redhead was that the children weren't being kept in cages like animals and were actually being fed. The illusion of happiness was all the same, though. "Peacetime. Somehow I doubt the Earthlings are truly at peace, but if you say so." she deferred to Nyx's judgment on whether or not an ambush was in wait, not that that was what Mizuna was concerned about. It was kind of ironic but comforting to know that she still needed the warmth of friendship to face the dark. She flashed Nyx a weary smile, trusting her odd-haired friend to handle the diplomatic side of business so that they could get their information and be on their way. [210 Words|3,533 TWC] |

Nyx only hesitated for a brief moment before handing the woman the bag of precious value. It was tempting to eat one of the many metals or jewels inside of it, but Nyx wasn't going to jeopardize things just to consume food she had not tasted in a long time. "Kami is certainly blessing you right now. Let us hope that you continue to get valuable donations in the future." With her business now down, Nyx turned and walked back down the hallway. Exiting the orphanage with Mizuna following closely behind her. Once they were out of earshot, Nyx engaged Mizuna in conversation once again. "Humans are always fighting, but orphanages shouldn't exist when there isn't a major war or plague wrecking havoc. Some of those children were just tossed aside by their family. It's incomprehensible behavior to me: how can one just abandon their family and leave them in one of those places?" [WC=153] [TWC=2,991] |

Mizuna kept careful watch over her sigerian friend. She would probably have to question her about the strange behaviour later on, but for now it seemed prudent to silently watch her with a carefree smile. A pang of curiosity had been sparked in her eyes upon the mention of this 'kami'. From the context, the redhead was able to gather that he, she or it, was a deity of some sort. That was a curiosity that could not be left unsatisfied. She lightly pinched the hem of Nyx's skirt, lining her lips up with the black and white haired woman's ear. "Hey, Nyx. What's a 'kami'?" she was blunt and straight to the point. Despite the tough front and everything else, she was still just a sixteen year old girl - one who had never been religiously inclined. While she waited on Nyx's answer, she jumped on the topic Nyx was addressing by feeding her more about her own upbringing. "It's a lot more and a lot less than what Saiyan parents generally do; we're either thrown into training when we can walk or shipped off to low risk planets as babies if we aren't born with a satisfactory battle power - the intent is pretty simple; grow strong or perish." she had never really known the warm embrace of a parent as she'd seen it on Earth multiple times.

Nyx had no Earthly idea why Mizuna thought it was acceptable to intrude upon her personal space in the most unnecessary ways imaginable. Why did she feel the need to grab her attire in a way that would most certainly cause wrinkles? Or why would she feel the need to whisper in her ear? She just didn't understand many of the things that her Saiyan companion did. "Kami is a term that some humans use to describe their God. There are many different deities that the humans believe in, so I'm not entirely sure which believe system the orphanage is following. It doesn't matter to me who they're praying to though: they have nothing to proove the existence of their deities, unlike my people. Our very existence is proof that our creators existed." Nyx listened to Mizuna talk about her home planet's treatment of their offspring. Nyx already knew their practices very well, so she didn't have as much of a reaction as she did compared to learning about the human orphanages. Still, that didn't mean she had nothing to say on the way Saiyans did things. "That is even worse then what the humans do. Your kind either is trained from birth to invade other planets for profit and sport, and you send the weak ones off alien worlds without any contact or interaction with them. So they either die or succeed in conquering a weaker race. That is one of the most barbaric practices of rasing younglines committed by an entire culture in all of the Galaxy. It's because of behavior like this that your kind has the bad reputation that has been following it for years. Enough on that though: we have two more tasks to complete" Nyx took off, flying back into th air and towards Videl's energy. She wasn't going to let anything stop her from getting the information that she needed. No matter what was thrown her way, she would discover what this secret divide was. [WC=330] [TWC=3,321] |
