Ethar watched in amazement as Shun and Ohkara ate their food like hungry animals. He just stared wide-eyed at teh two as their food quickly vanished from sight.
"Heh, Im glad you like it." He said, smiling a bit as he stood up from his chair, walked over to the small mini freezer and took out some more steaks and threw them onto the grill. "I didnt know my cooking was THAT good... I guess Noran cooking is alot better then I thought." He said, as he sat down to eat his dinner. Though, seeing the Hungry eyes of Ohkara and Shun, he cut his teak into three, and gave them each a piece of his, just to hold them over until the new steaks were done.
"When was the last time either of you ate? It looked like you havent seen food before in your lives! Heh." He asked, as he let off a soft chuckle under his breath. "And this is just a NORMAL meal for me... Id hate to see what happens when you taste my SPECIAL cooking...."

The child lip trembles as Ethar handed him another piece of his steak, taking it and looking up at the man like he had just saved his life. The child takes the piece and scarfs the delicious morsel down very quickly, "T-Thank you!! Can you believe its b-been 1 hour since I last ate!! I could have died of starvation!" He cries out, drinking the water afterwards.
The child's glistening eyes shoot at Ethar, "S-S.... sssspeacial?!?!" He puts the cup down and his ears erect in attention.

"Heh, Im glad you like it." Ethar told them, leaving the table and striding over to a small fridge, where he removed a few more steaks to throw on the grill. "I didnt know my cooking was THAT good... I guess Noran cooking is alot better then I thought."
Sssssssss - The sound of the steaks hitting the hot grill forced Ohkara to quickly wipe off drool from her chin.
“Noran?” Ohkara asked, tilting her head to the side as Ethar returned to the table, “What is Noran?” This was the first time she had heard the word, and it was foreign to her. “Is that what you call steak prepared this way?” She asked with a raised brow. Ohkara's knowledge of aliens was fairly limited. Up until the other day she had never met one; until Number-Zero and Shun, that is. She knew that aliens frequently visited the Earth, but she was really clueless of what one would really look like; with Number-Zero and Shun, they were no doubt aliens, bunny-eared and ape tailed for one, and bizarre armor and no energy signature with the other, but did that mean that they all looked so foreign?
“When was the last time either of you ate? It looked like you haven't seen food before in your lives!” Ethar said with a laugh, sparing a third of his steak to Shun and a third to Ohkara. Her hand shot out quickly for the perfectly cooked, succulent meat, snatching it up in the blink of an eye. Just as quickly, the piece of food was tossed into her mouth, disappearing as she nommed it.
“And this is just a NORMAL meal for me... Id hate to see what happens when you taste my SPECIAL cooking...." Ethar added with a chuckle.
"T-Thank you!!” Shun exclaimed, scarfing down his food just as quickly, ”Can you believe its b-been one hour since I last ate? I could have died of starvation!" He shouted, quickly sucking down his ice water
Ohkara's eyes set on Ethar, and she watched for his reaction, hoping to avoid the question completely. She dared not admit that she too had eaten only about an hour ago. So instead, her chewing slowed and she savored the flavor of the beef, listening to the two as they talked.
... S-ss-sss-special!?" Shun asked putting the cup down he was sipping from.
Ohkara's interest was also peaked at the mentioning of special cooking. Forcing herself to swallow the large, and still partially un-chewed piece of steak in her mouth, her eyes watering in the process, she managed to repeat the word, “Special?”, though it came out somewhat muffled. Her hand grabbed quickly for her own water, which she began to gulp, the cool fluid helping to force the food down her throat.

Ethar looked a bit odd at Shun, as he asked "Only an hour? Ha, thats funny..." as he reached back and flipped the steaks on the grill as he heard Shun and Ohkara ask what he meant by special cooking.
"Oh, That would be for Earthling holidays like Christmas, Thanksgiving... All those kind of events..." He repied, as Ohkara asked him what he had meant by Noran cooking and that if it was the way he had prepared the steak. Laughing a bit, he replied "Haha, No. Its just the way I was taught, back on my home planet. Its called Nor... I am a Noran... a Duke from Nor, to be more precise... Though as I have learned a while ago, words dont claim a title, its through ones actions that claim titles... And blood, of course..."
He gave Ohkara an odd look, as he added "You didnt think I was human did you? Heh, I thought my pale skin would of been a dead give away..."

"holidays like Christmas, Thanksgiving..."
Shun tilts his head in question and thought. The child never heard of any such words before and it totally made him very curious as too what Ethar was talking about. The boy had let the adults talk while sitting back, slouching is his chair and wondering what exactly is a... "Holiday.." Maybe it had something to do with fighting.. or eating.. or both even! The child warmly smiles and sits back up to his plate, playing with his eating utensils but not making a noise to ruin the banter between Ethar and Ohkara.
After they were done talking Shun would ask, "What's a holiday? Whats a thanks... giving? Why am I thanking some one for giving them something? I-It sounds backwards..." The boy scratches his head and looks down at his plate, frowning and in deep thought.. "A-And whats a christmas??" The boy had no concept of special days as he was very ignorant to human celebrations and events..

“Oh!” Ohkara exclaimed, placing an index finger to her lips, “Well I know where I'll be coming for Thanksgiving this year!” she said with a wink, then finished off her glass of water, and allowing Ethar to explain what Noran was: "No. Its just the way I was taught, back on my home planet. Its called Nor... I am a Noran... a Duke from Nor, to be more precise... Though as I have learned a while ago, words don't claim a title, its through ones actions that claim titles... And blood, of course..."
Ohkara eyed the brown-haired man in disbelief, his confession an obvious surprise to the young lady. Sure, she had very little concept of what an Alien could actually look like, but he looked so human to her, “I guess I didn't make that connection,” shrugged as her head tilted to the side, “A Noran from Nor, hmmm?” Then something snappped, and she almost jumped up from her chair as her palms slapped hard against the tabletop, and her back straightened, “Wait!?” she shouted with shock, “Y-You're a d-duke!?”
Slamming her widened eyes shut, Ohkara caught herself, her posture returning to a slouch. She was being rude. Her hands rushed to her lap, and her head bowed at him, “I-I'm sorry... Its just... I've just never met royalty before...” After apologizing Ohkara's facial features lightened as she looked back up at Ethar, eyes beaming brightly with wonder, “Sounds like you have yourself quite a title, regardless.”
What Ethar said was true; and in that moment something spurred inside Ohkara. A small seed had been planted in her mind from Ethar's words. “Words don't claim a title, actions do,” this was a concept she was familiar with, but now it seemed to have a whole meaning. In that moment, Ohkara realized that there was a real possibility that she could make something of herself; something that she was already trying her best to do. She wanted to be a Protector of Earth.
Shun had been patiently holding back his questions, and as the room fell silent, he was quick to break it. He asked what holidays were, about Thanksgiving and Christmas. Ohkara's gaze of wonder shifted to the young Saiyan, and she smiled lightly; reaching a hand over to try to gently ruffle his hair, “Thanksgiving is something that we celebrate to give thanks to things we are grateful of. Christmas... Well, lets just say the idea of Christmas revolves around spending time with family and loved ones, and receiving and gifts,” her smile almost faded into sadness for a second as she pulled her hand back from him.
The young boy was beginning to grow on Ohkara, and she was beginning to see him like a little brother. It was hard not to like the little guy, after all; he was innocent, and seemed pure of heart. But his time on Earth was decided by how long it took him to complete his task, “The best way to explain is to experience one...” Her voice was somewhat distant, but was quickly broken by yet another bright, bubbly smile, “Perhaps we can crash Ethar's next party together!”

Ethar watched as Ohkara realized what his title meant, and panicked a small bit and bowed to him. Ethar sighed and waved her apology off, as he said "No need to bow Miss Ohkara, I like to keep things casual here..." as Ohkara went on to explain to shun what Thanksgiving and christmas was. Truefully, Ethar was yet to experience these holidays himself, since he only came to Earth several months ago.
It was then Ohkara told Shun that they can crash his next party, which made him perk an eyebrow. "Crash my next party? hah, I need to have a party first in order to crash it." He said, as he reached back, picked the steaks off the grill with his fork, and gave Ohkara and Shun another steak as well as giving himself one.
"So... You both have impressive Energy levels, for normal people around these parts... Are either of you perhaps.... Fighters?" He asked them, as he had been sensing their inital Ki for sometime. He had let his guard down before they arrived, but now that hes on edge a bit, he could sense exactly how powerful each of them were. Not as Powerful as he was, but enough to perhaps pose a threat to a certain Saiyan Tyrant...

The saiyan boy laughed at Ohkara ruffling his hair, hunching his shoulders and slightly ducked his head. When Ohkara mentioned the word family though, he too had dropped his head and thought back to his mother that had passed.. well she might as well had been his mother. The boy bit his lip as he looked out the window, knowing he will be close to an end with his quest.
Shun's eyes lit up when he heard party. Throughout his life he had never participated in such a frivolous event in his life and just to experience it would be enough to make his entire year!
Ethar continued with his question, asking if the two people he had met was fighters of some sort. Shun had looked at Ohkara and then looked back down at the table, scratching his head, "I don't really know mister Ethar.. I just do what my dad tells me! hmmm sometimes I fight though.. sometimes.." He shrugs, taking a huge bite out of the steak provided by their gracious host.

It was weird how comfortable that Ohkara was becoming. She'd missed having company since her father passed. She had never been too big on making friends, and other than her father, she really had no family. But here, inside Ethar's house, with the company of he and Shun, Ohkara was starting to feel like she really belonged. Like she still had a family, and even though she didn't know it, that feeling was something that she craved deep down; something that she no longer wished to live with. No more loneliness...
Ohkara was giggled as Ethar placed a steak on her and Shun's plates, "Crash my next party? I need to have a party first in order to crash it,” He told them with a laugh, then changed the subject, "So... You both have impressive Energy levels, for normal people around these parts... Are either of you perhaps.... Fighters?"
Ohkara quickly grabbed up her knife, and once again skillfully cut up her steak. The action was enough to answer Ethar's question alone, and as she finished she gracefully twirled the steak-knife around her left hand and fingers, popping a chunk of meat into her mouth with her other hand, as she watched Shun speak: "I don't really know mister Ethar.. I just do what my dad tells me! hmmm sometimes I fight though.. sometimes.."
Ohkara's brow rose, and she caught the handle of the blade in her palm, “Oh?” She asked, eyeing the boy, “Would you say that you like to fight, though?” She asked him, waiting for him response before answering Ethar's question, “I wouldn't consider myself a fighter," she told him, popping yet another hunk of delicious steak in her mouth, “... I like to think I am a protector,” her honesty made her blush, and catching it she would quickly hide her face behind a hand. It sounded so embarrassing when put that way, like she wished she was a superhero or something, but that wasn't the case. She had just never really said it aloud before...

Ethar gave an odd look to Shun when he mentioned his father, and that he always does as he is told. "Your father eh? What is he like?" He asked, curious about the boys family. If the boy really was part rabbit, part saiyan, it was safe to assume that one of the parents was of Saiyan heritage.
Listening to the two converse, Ethar added in his own bit of wisdom as he said "There is a considerable difference between forced to fight, and enjoying a fight. Most people I know tend to forget there is a difference sometimes." as Ohkara then exclaimed that she didnt consider herself a fighter, but more of a protector.
This made Ethar laugh a bit after eating a piece of his own steak. "A Protector eh? Or More of a .... Hero of the people type? Heh, I can see where your coming from. I used to think of myself as a protector myself for a while... That is, Until that tyrant of a saiyan queen and her forces came to conquer this beautiful planet. I thought I was strong, but good lord... When I tried to fight her forces back, I was outnumbered, and overpowered quite easily... Since then, I've been hiding...Planning and training until the day I can take back whats been lost."

Shun gets quiet and sighs, he then smiles. "My pops... he's really nice.. I never knew my biological dad.. my mom sent me away from the moon to... a distant planet to become stronger..."
Shun chimed in on what Ethar was saying about fighting, "I-I try to avoid any type of fight if possible.. I'd rather just play in the sand or eat all day... probably train a little.." the important thing to the child was that he tried to maintain a sense of righteousness.. he could never fight for power but who knows whats to happen in the future with him..
Shun quieted down and began digging into his steak and he starts tearing up again.. whatever Ethar had put in these steaks was the business.. the food of the gods, an epicurean delight, food fit for a king, a heavenly spread gastronomical delight, a true pièce de résistance.. Shun then took yet another bite of the appealing, mouth-watering, delectable, savory steak... He brought his hand to his forehead and looked down as he chewed, "Mister Ethar are you a master chef or something?... I just cant describe the taste of this amazing steak.." He cried out softly.

The way that Shun spoke made Ohkara feel even more sorry for him. It seemed that her assumptions had been correct, he was not exactly a fighter, but he also stated that his father sometimes made him fight. From what she'd saw the other day with Number-Zero, it seemed that Shun had very little control of his life. And for such a young child, it was a shame that it seemed he might be missing out on actually being a child. But the young, green haired girl kept her mouth shut as Shun and Ethar spoke.
Turning to Ohkara, Ethar let out a laugh as he chewed on a piece of steak, "A Protector eh? Or More of a .... Hero of the people type? Heh, I can see where your coming from. I used to think of myself as a protector myself for a while... That is, Until that tyrant of a saiyan queen and her forces came to conquer this beautiful planet. I thought I was strong, but good lord... When I tried to fight her forces back, I was outnumbered, and overpowered quite easily... Since then, I've been hiding...Planning and training until the day I can take back whats been lost."
Ohkara's gaze filled with excitement as she listened to the young man. The mention of Queen Akassa made the young girl's fists curl. “No way!” She shouted, slamming a fist on the table, “She can't really be as strong as they say she is! Can she?” Her feelings about the new Saiyan Queen were made apparent in an instant. She was a real sore-spot for Ohkara.
Brow raising as she questioningly looked Ethar over, Ohkara's index-finger tapped at her lip. In the back of her mind, she'd been thinking that the young man looked familiar. She was unsure where she'd seen him, but she was sure it had been fairly recent. Upon his mention of fighting Akassa's forces, the thought had flared up once more, but this time she felt closer to an answer, “Wait a minute...” She pondered aloud for a second before her finger pointed rudely at Ethar and her eyes widened, “Y-you're the 'Silver Saiyan'!?” contrary to her surprised look, her tone would be hushed, filled with awe as she eyed him.
“First a duke, and now THE Silver Saiyan?” She thought to herself, “You have got to be kidding me!”

"Play in the sand and eat? Hahaha, Your just a cute kid arent you?" He asked Shun as he laughed. He started to really like Shun, since he was acting like an innocent child. He figured thats what he liked about the Rabbit/Saiyan. There was no way no evil of any kind was in the boys heart. It was as pure as pure could get.
After mentioning the new Tyrant Queen, Ethar noticed that Ohkara got very uptight, asking about her strength, and Ethar nodded in agreement. "Unfortunatly yes. I've never felt anything like her power. It was almost...Legendary..." He said, seemingly trailing off in thought. He remembered how Akassa's power level just gave him goosebumps, and remembering it gave him the shivers a bit as well.
But his train of thought was interrupted by Ohkara, as she eyed him and pointed a finger at him. "Yes Miss Ohkara, I am 'The Silver Saiyan'. Your just figuring it out now? I do apologize if I come off as rude, but your actually the first person, aside from the lil guy here devouring his steak, to actually not recognize me straight away." Ethar replied, as he finished up his own steak. His stomach was happy, but Ethar felt a little unsettled knowing that his 'secret identity' was now known to Ohkara. But he felt that he could trust the woman...

The boy rubs his nose and smiles, "I am 14 years old!" He says proudly. Shun slouches back in his chair and rub his stomach, He never ate this much in so little time.. The boy was quite stuffed and his appetite sated. The boy begins poking at his stomach and yawns. The rabbit child learns forward and sets his hands on the table and start playing with his fingers.
Shun knew of the Saiyan Queen as well but he was displaying emotions of indifference as his full stomach put him in a state full of content and happiness. The child picks his utensils up and make them fight.. "pshh... pew.." the fork and knife lightly clack together, "arghh... I will get you evil man! oof! pshh... noooooo" the child lightly slam the fork on the table, it looks like the knife was winning in his little play fight!
Shun really looked like he was into toys. The boy never really had a child hood outside of his little containment room on the moon so he would naturally try to find fun wherever it was available. The boy was not loud or obnoxious as most kids, he would usually be in his own little world trying not to disturb the adult's conversation. His rabbit ears twitched as he was fighting the fork and knife together, creating scenarios in his head and developing make-believe and social skills.

"Unfortunately, yes. I've never felt anything like her power,” Ethar told her, confirming her worst fear about the wicked Saiyan queen, “It was almost... Legendary..." Chills ran down Ohkara's spine from the young man's tone, and she quickly wrapped her arms around her, shaking the feeling off the best she could. “Regardless of how strong she really is...” Ohkara told herself in silence, “I will make sure I become stronger. Even if is seems impossible.”
"Yes Miss Ohkara, I am 'The Silver Saiyan',” Ethar confirmed, “Your just figuring it out now?”
Ohkara's jaw dropped as she glared at him, “How rude!” she thought, but before she was able to get the words out, he continued: “I do apologize if I come off as rude, but your actually the first person, aside from the lil' guy here devouring his steak, to actually not recognize me straight away.”
Ohkara shook off her look, a hand quickly snatching her fork and jabbing the last piece of her steak, “Don't flatter yourself too much, Ethar,” she huffed, popping the last delectable morsel into her mouth, “I'm not very good with faces...” A grin slid across her face, “Unless they are really good looking!” she teased, trying to jab at the young man a little. Ohkara grabbed her glass and gulped down the rest of the water. Chewing up the ice cubes, Ohkara pushed her chair back from the table and slouched down in her seat, "Man, that was so good!" she exclaimed, giving him a kind smile, "Thanks again, Ethar!"
