>>6117571At this the silence hangs heavy in the room, everyone silent as you finish speaking to your longtime friend. No one says a word, everyone still looking to you with different expressions. Freeza seems thoughtful, pondering over your words as his brows lower. Making his decision. Cooler leans his head back slightly, acknowledging your support of his brother. King Cold is studying you rather intensely, brows furrowed and eyes hard, yet there's something... Warm, friendly in his gaze. Kars is frowning, as if he recognizes something or perhaps someone in you. But Whis... You can't get a read at all. His face is a neutral mask, yet... There's something dangerous in how he's looking at you. As if he's seeing something in you that no one else in the room does.
“I have made up my mind.” Freeza announces, standing tall as he meets your gaze. Gone is the indecision, the doubts and the fears. You see your friend is resolute, giving you a small nod before turning to face Whis. Everyone turns to him, waiting for your friend to declare his intent.
“Oh? Why, yes. It would seem you have. Yes, that's much better. Now you have the correct look about you.” Whis tells him, his expression changing as he looks Freeza over again. “I can work with this.”
“Before we go any further, Silver has just contacted me that they are ready.” King Cold says, everyone turning to him. “Shall we discuss details over our meal?”
“That sounds lovely.” Whis says, his more serious demeanor changing almost instantly. “You've been talking up this dish, I am <span class="mu-i">so</span> excited to try it!”
“Then let us eat.” King Cold says, clapping his hands once as you suddenly sense several other, familiar powerlevels. And as if on cue, you see a familiar portal opening up beside him, directly from Silver's kitchen back home into this room. Realization dawning that THIS must be the reason that two foot-wide section of wall in the kitchen was always kept clear of anything, it was for this express purpose. How often does King Cold have Raven opening her portals to have food brought into his home? “We hadn't planned on you being here, General Karn, but it would be rude not to offer you a plate as well. Will you be joining us?”
Well?
>Of course, you missed several meals being down for a day and your body needs to catch back up>Thank him for the offer but decline, your kids need you and you need to get back to them>Telepathically ask King Cold if he wants you here for the rest, or if it's better for you to leave. You aren't sure if he's inviting you out of obligation or not, so make it easy for him to decline you without declining you in front of others>Agree to join in, more because you're curious now for details more so than Silver's food. Things are getting interesting here, and you want to hear all of it now>Other(write in)
