With Dolin rolling out of the way and Toshio not managing to escape all of his rings, Batto once again found himself able to relax. Having created a small amount of distance between the two, the healers hands were back at the comfortable spot behind the small of his back. Standing casually as if without a concern in the world, he watched as Toshio powered his way out of the rings. At this low a level it was not completely surprising, but to see the strength the older fellow still possessed was impressive. Age was often the greatest enemy of a warrior, time the one foe that no punch or blast could defeat. Yet, he could fight it for as long as he was able. While Toshio was far from on the war path during his time on Namek, it was clear he had not sat idly either.
Letting them formulate their next plan, the Namekian wondered what they might try now. So far each attempt had been better thought out and better executed. Toshio was sharp in his old age and Dolin was quick to learn. How odd the pair was yet how effective they were proving to be as a team. If only all that were so different could learn to work together in such a way. In a world where friendship and teamwork was paramount, the lives of all would flourish. Not even Namek was such a place any more, although it was far from the hectic world's scattered through the stars.
With a plan finally decided the duo came forward or it least it looked that way, Batto's vision of Dolin obscured. Gathering energy into his hands in what was the start of an energy wave, the blast had Batto's hands lifting to intercept. However, the green man had never been the target. Instead the blast was aimed towards the ground, the power behind it meant to lift Toshio up into the air. The sudden shift in movement gave Dolin the perfect opening to launch blasts of his own. Caught a little flat footed, the healing master can only pull his arms across his chest to brace for the attacks. Arms up he was momentarily committed to holding his ground, that being enough time for Toshio to collect himself and send down his own hail of energy blasts.
One after the other pelted Batto and the ground around him, the multi angled attack working well as the shots pile up. All around him dust rose from the ground, chunks of rock and bits of grass tossed about in reaction to the blasts. When the two tired themselves or decided they were content with their attacks, their target had disappeared into a swirling mass of dust. So thick was the cloud that he had vanished from sight...silence overtaking the area for a few moments. Thankfully the plains of Namek were a windy place, a strong gust rolling up on their training area and pushing the muddled air away. Standing at the center was Batto, green aura flickering around him. Surrounding the Namekian was pock marked earth, holes and scorch marks dominating the immediate landscape. As for the green man himself, he was busy dusting off his clothes.
With his new level of power he sat at roughly 150,000 PL, more than enough to weather the storm he had just found himself at the center of.
"You two continue to impress. I was not expecting to be forced to release so much of my power. However, I have no desire to see things grow too violent. Shall we call it a day?" The warm smile on his face made it clear his words were true, no pride to be seen even though he had handled their attack with ease. Batto had learned more about them through combat and was prepared to bestow his knowledge upon the worth pair. Of course if they truly wished to continue the sparring session he would, but considering he had been the one to initiate it he figured it was not their desire.

As master and student synchronized their attack, their constant bombardment of energy blasts united to form an overwhelming assault against the elder namekian. As the yellow ki blasts ravaged the area around and upon Batto, dust and debris started to accumulate in the vicinity obscuring the view of Master Batto. Eventually both Dolin and Toshio impeded their steady energy blasts and waited for the dust to settle, Toshio was sure that the elder namekian had not be obliterated as their blasts weren’t that strong albeit there were many of them. Dolin, on the other hand looked quite concern and looked up at Toshio, whom was smiling at their somewhat successful ploy once again. This did not help ease Dolin’s mind as he looked back at the still smoky scene, his thoughts riddled with worrisome feelings.
Dolin’s mind would be put at ease as a rolling wind, which was consistent of the namekian home world, blew away the dust and debris that hide the elder namekians fate’s reveling a green aura surrounding and unscathed namekian. Dolin breathed a sigh of relief at the sight as Toshio chuckled briefly to himself as he watched the namekian brush off dust that the blasts had caused. Toshio could tell the namekian had increased his power level well beyond was what needed in order to deplete the attacks power from the two of them. Toshio took note of the scorch marks and dug up earth around the sage namekians surrounding area, noting that they had indeed caused decent damage with their assault and was a little surprised that he and Dolin had caused that much damage with just basic ki energy attacks.
As Toshio slowly descended back onto the ground beside Dolin they would both listen, as the elder namekian would speak “You two continue to impress. I was not expecting to be forced to release so much of my power. However, I have no desire to see things grow too violent. Shall we call it a day?” Smiling Toshio would power back down to his base power level, his muscles contracting back to their original state and wincing as they did so. Toshio could feel the soreness and discomfort coming down from his full power caused him at the age he was at. Opening his mouth the half-human would respond. “I agree, this was just a small spar to show and incorporate excellent teamwork. Something I think Dolin and I did well on, as you mentioned. There is no need to go on further.”
Dolin smiled and would speak as well “Yea...it was good to have a small taste of combat. Learning on the fly can be difficult but I’m glad I remembered such stories that helped become lessons in physical combat.” He turned his head and smiled at Toshio as he said this, Toshio smiling back as well. Turning his head back to Master Batto, the young namekian would speak once more. “Thank you Master Batto for allowing me to better synchronize myself in accordance with another…I…had not the opportunity to do that under the teachings of Master Nohkan yet.” Dolin smiled at the senior namekian but he felt Toshio’s hand placed on his shoulder and the words of his current master filling the area. “I do believe Master Batto still has something else to teach you today, am I correct Mr.Batto?” He would say looking at Batto in the distance, the face of Dolin lighting up at the possibility of more teaching.

“That all depends on what Dolin here is looking to learn. I am aware you are from Piccolo City, but I hope it is not too much to assume that you have heard of my clans abilities. Considering Toshio’s high opinion of you and the promise that you have shown here today, I am more than willing to share my clan’s knowledge without. However, this is with the intention that you will use it justly in the future. The choice is yours though, I may teach you the very technique that I bound Toshio with during our fight or attempt to show the way to heal others. Both have their uses, but neither is easy to master.”
The knowledge of his clan was something that had been passed down through generations, reaching farther back than the tales of Goku and his heroic efforts on Namek. Yet, unlike many traditions that belonged to clans as old as his, the knowledge was not hoarded for the few and privileged. No, in fact it was shared with any that the current Master felt deserving of such a thing. Long ago they had decided not to keep the techniques secret, to allow others in the Universe to learn and master their ways. Only through communication and teaching could the Universe as a whole become a greater place. Deep down Batto hoped that Nohkan felt the same way, but the warrior was just not open enough to tell for sure. The rift between there people was one of differing opinions, but that did not mean they had to see differently on everything.

Both master and apprentice listened as the elder namekian spoke about the knowledge he could bestow, it either being technique that Toshio had been captured earlier with or what Batto was more known for, which was his famed healing skill. As the namekian elder finished speaking Dolin had a choice to make. “Choose wisely young one, use all what you have learned here today and in the past to make this decision. Whichever you choose could be very valuable in the future to you or any allies you garner.” The elder half-human would say, forcing the young namekian child to look down and ponder heavily on the decision.
A wind would blow across the plains where the group stood, a few minutes would pass by in silence as the young namekian continued think deeply about this decision, Toshio could tell that the young boy was thinking deeply about his past, the present, and the future and what implications each knowledgeable tech may have. He had taught the young boy to do so such a thing on many occasions, however the young namekian had never had the patience that he was showing this very moment, something that Toshio was very proud of. Finally the namekian looked up at Master Batto and would speak which both his face and voice looking and sounding assured and serious.
“Master Batto, what you have helped teach me today in such a short amount of time has helped me greatly…before I had…I had no intentions of learning from you and even with Master Toshio, I often times wished that I was back learning under Master Nohkan and not learning old stories or the value of patience, something that Master Nohkan never bothered to teach me. But here today, I can see the help these stories and knowledge has done to me…I can feel it…I can remember it…I can apply it. Each technique that you told me I could attempt to learn and maybe one-day master holds many opportunities for others and me. Each one has their advantages and disadvantages however…with what I learned here today…only one seems to be the more important one. The one that I know I could use to provide help with...to use in conjunction with others… and to keep other’s alive to continue to provide such collaboration amongst them. The thing I learned today is…the best ability in combat...is availability. Learning to help others keep that is far more important than anything I could hope to learn from Master Nohkan or anyone else for that matter...Master Batto, I wish for you to teach me the healing technique. So that one day I could hope to use it to help others learn by staying alive…and maybe…maybe I could use it to unite our people together once again. Piccolo city is so…different than here…yet we are the same people on the same planet and for centuries before any of us were here…we were of one mind and of one people. Hearing Toshio speak about that I never truly understood…but now…now I do. I do plan on going back to Master Nohkan and Piccolo city and continuing my lessons there but…I will bring with it the knowledge and power of those that follow the old ways hoping that…by my actions those of the new way may see that the old way is not dead…or dying…and that there is room for both, To show both ways in one, it could unite our people together once more...Something that holds nothing but prosperity for our race.”
The young namekian would finally finish speaking, Toshio having looked and listened to his young pupil give one of the best speeches he had ever heard, and he himself had given quite a many and had heard just as many form others as well. But this one was special for the half-saiyan, this was coming from a being that was of a complete different race than he and that he had only known Dolin for a mere week. Toshio saw himself in this young namekian that was for sure, and to the old man…that was something to be truly prideful of.

Nearby where Toshio and Dolin were training with Batto a blue-gray Namekian with pure black eyes and small horns on his head walked through the tall grass. He wore a red gi over his bulging chest and leg muscles and had a tight, maroon sash wrapped around his waste. On his face was a small frown that turned into a big smile when he heard someone speaking in the distance with his pointed ears. The alien pinpointed the talker to be very young and headed towards the voice which he estimated was a six hundred feet away from him. His dashing was something that old man Toshio with his hair-filled ears was going to hear since this Namekian named Harmonica did not mask his presence at all.
It was very clear he wanted to meet them and made this abundantly clear by activating his purple aura while running. The first thing they might think of this is a sudden attack by an enemy, but Harmonica wanted to make it definitive he had only come to play so he took to skidding to a halt forty feet in front of the group and panted before stating, "How come you did not invite me?"

“A good choice Dolin. Although, I do believe you have chosen the harder of the two to master. Healing is far different than any other technique I have come across. We shall see how we do with it though. Now, let us…” The Master’s words end as a quickly approaching signature spikes to his side. Focusing on the signature for a moment he did not recognize it. The rate at which it approached lead one to believe that it might be some sort of threat, looking for that rush in attack to try and catch its targets off guard. Calm and controlled as ever, Batto felt confident he could protect the three of them if that was the case. He preferred not to fight whenever possible, but if someone came in swinging with the intent to hurt others he would not hesitate to incapacitate them.
Thankfully, for all of them, attacking was not what Harmonica had in mind. Skidding to a stop a short distance from the trio, he was quick to talk. At least he wasn’t throwing Ki blasts there way, even if Batto had no idea what he was talking about.
“I am not quite sure what you mean. This meeting started off as a chance one, our paths crossing when these two were on their way back from their previous session together. I was simply meditating. Is there something we can help you with?” Unsure of why the man had approached them in the first place, Batto was willing to offer assistance if it was needed, but he needed to understand what might be needed first. If the Namekian…strange looking Namekian wanted something else, he would have to explain himself better. Batto was always willing to help others, Dolin’s training not forgotten about.

Both Dolin and the master Katsuo listened as Master Batto spoke about healing, saying it was the tougher technique to learn and master. The wise namekian sage saying that healing was far different than any technique he had come across and Toshio believed it, knowing it must be difficult to be able to mend wounds in a timely manner so as to not mess up and yet not so slow that it doesn’t hold well enough in hasty battle. Toshio was about to say something before his attention changed to the sounds of something approaching at a fast pace, the sounds of the grass crunching beneath the rapid movement. Turning his attention to this, Toshio managed to see a figure slide across the ground to a halting stop. If the new arrival had had any intent on attacking, Toshio figured he would have done it more quieter and without the slide.
The newcomer was namekian that was for certain. But the different color of the skin and the interesting antennae placement proved that this was no ordinary namekian, and certainly one Toshio had never encountered in his five year stay here. The new namekians words caught Toshio slightly off guard but understood them; having heard such a phrase from his long tenure on his home planet. Dolin having heard the namekian skid to a halt and speak, turned hid attention to the newcomer as well. Before Toshio had a chance to response to the newcomer however, Batto beat him to it. “I am not quite sure what you mean. This meeting started off as a chance one, our paths crossing when these two were on their way back from their previous session together. I was simply meditating. Is there something we can help you with?”
Now, Toshio was finally able to speak and did so, responding to Batto’s inquiry about what the odd colored namekian meant. “It’s a phrase new arrivals use upon arriving to an already under progress meeting to sort of ‘break the ice’ with those that have already gathered. It’s somewhat common back on planet Earth.” Turning to the new namekian Toshio would take the time to speak to him as well. “I offer any assistance as well, If you do not know who I am Toshio Katsuo, this here is Dolin my apprentice, and the other namekian over there is Master Batto. We were just about to get underway with a teaching lesson from Master Batto to help my young trainee here, if it is okay with Master Batto you are more than welcome to stay and see if you cannot learn something as well. Or if you are in need of something else, do not hesitate to ask.” Toshio would finish speaking, the young Dolin choosing not to speak on behalf of the shyness and uncomfortable feelings he felt toward the unusual colored namekian.

"I am welcome to stay? But you haven't invited me to stay!" Harmonica stated as he rubbed his chin and looked at the grizzled, bearded face of the elderly Toshio. "I don't care who all you people are but I need no lessons from the fat one!" He pointed to Batto with long, clawed finger and spewed bits of flames from his maw. Not enough to hurt the guy but to show off his prowess with ki.
He closed his mouth then opened it again and pointed his right hand inside of it while saying, "See dis I learned that fiery technique from the great Nohkan among other things. Who needs the ways of the Dragon Clan. Certainly not I..." by saying this he revealed himself to be in relation more with the Warrior then Dragon Clan but his words did not hopefully come off as unfriendly in his mind even though it was unfriendly sounding then a normal person was going to state in this kind of situation.

Even as Harmonica pointed to him, labeling him as the fat one, Batto didn’t say a thing. To be insulted was a of little meaning to someone as clear headed as the Healing Master. Long ago he had learned to look above the face value of words. So often individuals from different backgrounds spoke differently and with different dialects, so he took little offense to the Namekian’s words. As for his relation to the Warrior clan, that was just fine with Batto as well. Although a follower of the old ways, he was accepting of the new. He only wished that the rest of his people would get over this petty difference that had divided the clan.
“No one will force you to sit and learn anything. If you have no interest in my teachings that must not be why you are here. Is there a reason you have come to visit us this day? As Toshio and I have said, we are willing to help you with anything you might need assistance with.” Hands tucking behind the small of his back Batto looks straight at the newcomer, eyes calm and relaxed as always. So far he was unsure what he had come to them for or perhaps he had just been passing by. Either way, Batto was always patient.

Toshio listened as the namekian stated he was not invited. Heh, heck no one was invited to this meeting. It was just a spur of the moment type of thing. Something Toshio didn’t think the namekian was aware of, despite Batto already having mentioned it. Toshio then listened to the strange namekian say that he didn’t care about who they were nor wanted any lessons from the ‘fat one’. This confused Toshio who looked back at Batto and assessed his weight. He didn’t look fat, at least not to Toshio and according to his knowing of what the word ‘fat’ meant. Turning his attention back to the namekian, he would watch as the namekian spewed out fire from his mouth and then boasted about it, having learned it from Master Nohkan and that he didn’t need any dragon clan techniques.
Oh...such a young and naive mind this one has… After the atypical colored namekian finished, Batto would be the one to speak up next. The elder namekian telling the grayish-purple namekian that no one was forcing him to stay there and learn what he or Toshio had to teach and asked why the namekian had wondered upon them and again sending out comforting words that either of them would help him in whatever he needed. Opening his mouth the elderly Toshio would speak.
“Heh, that’s a nice move I suppose...But I’ve seen better mouth fires done by amateur magicians at a kid’s birthday party. Granted they were with cheap methods, and not of the ability that you just displayed as far as I can tell. If you were to train more with that and grow stronger, I’m sure you could muster up a better flame in the future but I wouldn’t boast to much about what you can do now, that may lead to some very bad situations.” The elderly man used to not be so snarky, but as he aged the crankier he had gotten, haven seen quite a bit in his days of travel and teaching. The elderly man was still tender and pure of heart though, just with a spicy kick every now and then and in his next words, that tenderness would show.
“Alas, as both of us has stated, whatever it is you want or are in need of we will gladly lend our support. Surely you must have had some reasoning as to why you have ventured out so far away from Piccolo City, assuming that’s where you’re from giving your knowing of Master Nohkan and having been taught by him. We are in no rush my friend; we are but cups to your water. Waiting to be filled in.” Toshio would finish speaking and watched as Dolin remained silent on the matter and scooted closer to Toshio as if he was still unnerved by the new namekians arrival.

"Oh, I'm not out here to train," Harmonica voiced as he moved his eyes from the fatter Namekian Batto towards the grizzled face of Toshio. He listened to him intently then pointed at Batto and said, "I was coming here to fight this guy and forcibly fuse with him!"
He scratched his chin after this though and said, "That would be boring though because although I could increase my power that way, as I have done before, Batto here would surely not accept at this point and time." He smirked then continued, "I really did not like my master Nohkan but he at least said two things to me that made me realize what it means to be a Namekian, one, we really all love to fight, and two, that's because we all are the same being; just split into thousands of different individuals. Why he came up with this notion I do not know but until I fused with another named Reed and became this I felt like I was missing something."
He chuckled then flexed his muscles and said, "With this kind of strength though I possess currently, I find it a pity not to have a fighting partner then I realized something. I could come out here and find one; although, it ain't going to be you two." He wagged his finger at Toshio and Dolin then uttered, "I'm going to make myself an someone who is similar yet individually different from myself. I want to create... Pokopon!"
The Pokopon he spoke of were small, white eggs spewed from the mouth of a Namekian but what Harmonica did not realize was that they were essentially evil in some small or large way. Such offspring would likely serve him just as much as kill him on the spot but most of the time Namekians born this way were of loyal stock.

This fellow sure was a strange one. He seemed to emit so much aggression and confidence, yet at the same time appeared to be lost in what he had truly come out here for. Seeking a sparring partner was one thing, but purposely looking for another to fuse with was quite...odd. Batto of course knew that Namekians if they so chose, could fuse with another, but it was rarely something that one went searching for. While power was always gained through this type of bond, it was not as if one assimilated the other. It was a melding of two minds and body, creating with it a new being. Outwardly it might not appear so as the physical appearance varied after a fusion, but the mental change was always noticeable. Rumor had it Cuticul had gone through such a fusion in the past, but the truth of it was yet to be determined.
Toshio's snarky remark had a small smile appearing on the Healer's face for but and instant. It was not so much in reaction to the man's words, but the manner in which he delivered them. A Master himself, Toshio's age showed in his appearance and apparently sometimes in his personality. Namekians were lucky they aged at such a slow rate when compared to Saiyans and their offspring. Beside the man, Dolin seemed a bit unsure of the whole situation, hanging back and keeping his mouth shut now.
"Well if you require nothing from us, then I wish you well. However, I would advise to not too hungrily seek a path of power. I do not doubt your strength, but many have traveled down such a path before only to find death and despair. Be wary of what you seek friend." Harmonica might not have seen Batto as a friend, but the tempered Namekian saw almost all as a friend unless he had a reason not too. An open mind and an open heart is what made him so relaxed, his view on the world of of acceptance and living with as little friction as possible.

“Oh, I’m not out here to train.” Toshio heard the namekian say, making the master sage question just why in the world he was all the way out here then. Of course Toshio did not have to wait long before he got his answer. “I was coming here to fight this guy and forcibly fuse with him!” This certainly caught Toshio by surprise more so than the namekians previous statement, as the namekian scratched his chin Toshio was about to speak up on behalf of this however the gray namekian spoke again. Affirming that that plan was not the wisest due to Batto’s sure unwillingness. Continuing to listen to the unique namekian, he would go on to talk about how he disliked his trainer in Master Nohkan but he remembered two things the said, one of which Toshio whole hardily disagreed with especially given half of his bloodline.
Of course the talk about fusion, Toshio knew some of what transpired between such fusions and fissions between the namekian people. They worked similar to a ying/yang concept that was so popular back on his home planet. As the namekian continued, Toshio worried that this namekian was focused too much on gaining power and going so far as to create his own children just in order for HIM to grow stronger. After the grayish namekian finished, Toshio turned his attention to Master Batto whom would then speak, offering wise words that seeking too much power may bring only death and despair, something Toshio knew well. After Batto finished it was Toshio’s turn to dish out advice.
“My dear young minded namekian, head the words of which Batto just entrusted to you. Power…it is always dangerous. It attracts the worst and corrupts the best. Very few know handle to handle such a balance and even then it can be a constant struggle for them. Through my many years of serving as both a teacher and a student my wisdom has grown with my power. That wisdom has taught me that the less I use my power, the greater it is. One does not have to rule with an iron fist when they have words of gold. You mentioned that all namekians love to fight, that is simply untrue. That is far belonging to the race of saiyans, if you know the history of this planet and the one before it you would know that Namekians were…still mostly are… a peaceful race that seek only to defend and never attack. They knew that one of the best powers is the simple sentiment of patience.”
Toshio would take a second to breath before he would continue on. “Many beings sense of power is more vivid to them when they beak a man spirit instead of trying to win the person’s heart. That is NOT the way of the namekians, such a thing Master Nohkan should know and understand if he knows the history of his own people. The ability to gain power is one thing…but to someone with wisdom… when they gain that power they gain it so they can give it away. Be it in the way of knowledge or by the namekians fusing which increase one’s power level. Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around. That kind of power is far greater that someone using it to cripple, to kill, or to deafen for that can end life instead of trying to make it flourish into something that can be admirable and be used to further prosper the lives of others.” Taking another breath before speaking again, Toshio would begin the last stretch of his speech.
“Something I am profound in is my word. Words are singularly the most powerful force available to the entire universe. We can choose to use this force constructively with words of encouragement, or destructively using words of despair. Words have energy and power with the ability to help, to heal, to hinder, to hurt, to harm, to humiliate and to humble. It’s a power that ALL can accomplish and one does not need to go through rigorous training methods to gain but they must simply understand and feel within themselves the words to say. Namekian, I hope in your search of power you learn to handle it with humbleness and use to better help others instead of using it for selfish gain. For when you are long dead and gone, what do you think will be remembered most? The people you helped and the knowledge you spread or your single power level? Knowledge is what is always written down and remembered. Power levels come and go and fade away into history. If you learn anything from what I’ve said just now, it is that. If you listen to anything I have said today let it be this. What do YOU want to be remembered by, numbers that can be easily passed over or knowledge that will be forever remembered?”
Toshio would finish yet another speech of his, hopefully allowing the blue-grayish namekian to fully understand what all power had to entail, and that power came in many shapes and forms and never settled on just a number. Knowing Dolin had heard as well he only hoped it would help this young namekian as well, something that Toshio had been trying to do ever since he came upon the young green one.

"Blah, blah, blah..." Harmonica groaned as his super sensitive ears had to listen to the old man spew word after word from his aging lips. It really hurt his ear drums as he turned away from him and the fat Namekian and stated, "I really don't care to listen to your prattle. In the new age all that matters is power, for if you have not heard, Radio-Free-Earth-Or-Something-Like-That has taken to inciting potential rebellion against the strongest woman in the universe. She'll probably come here next if she has half a mind to which is why I came here to either fuse or create Pokopon. We're doomed if we don't." With that Harmonica dashed off into the plains trying to leave behind the two warriors to their own things. It would be easy for the two to catch him if they wanted to but he was hoping they would not.
The reason he was leaving was because it was clear they wanted to help him but not in the way he wanted them to help him. His information; although new to them, was something relatively new to him and only something he had recently picked up on radios and satellites owned by other Namekians in Piccolo City. It was here much of the planet's news and intergalactic news mingled and the potential of an attack on Harmonica's home world felt very likely in his heart. When any of the Saiyans came he wanted to make sure he could crush them with his hands since being related to the Dragon Clan; although nice in its own way, was not going to help them in a battle.

Toshio was showing his age, yet along with it, his experience. What he spoke of was true. So many in the Universe sought power in order to protect that which they cared for only to have it destroy them in the end. The Saiyan people had been a good example of that, their violent ways ultimately leading to their violent death centuries ago. Of course the race had been brought back since then and despite recent events, had been making a better go at it this second time around. The attack on Earth, which Batto had heard some details about, was an exception to the current rule. Not having traveled there himself or look that into the event, he wasn’t exactly sure what he believed. He had heard Earth had started the fighting and also that the Saiyans had. Ultimately, as long as there was no all out war; he would stay out of it. One could not concern themselves in all the Galaxy’s conflicts.
The young Namekian didn’t seem to share the Master’s opinions, his sarcastic response catching the reserved Healer off guard. Then, just as quickly as he had arrived he was rushing away from them. Watching the Namekian go, Batto wasn’t sure what this one might try to do in the near future. It was very likely he could cause trouble or come to the people’s defense should a threat come to Namek. Either way, Batto would not forget his face now that he had met him. Priding himself on the memory of those he had trained and met in his lifetime, the calm Healer almost never forgot a face. A slow shake of his head had him turning back to the pair he had originally been with, that same neutrally calm expression on his face. “That was unexpected I have to say. Shall we get back to what we were doing?” Not wanting to rush right back in, unsure if either of the two wanted to follow their strange guest, he would wait on their answer.
(Sorry, totally missed this.)
