>>6150372As your wife wakes you finish dressing, immediately heading out of the room and marching down the halls. Intercepting Haathe, stopping her as the younger woman is shaking. You reach down, grab her by the shoulders and crouch, looking her eye-to-eye.
“You did good. Thank you.” you tell her, your words soothing and calming the former Abyssal being. Who nods, taking a deep breath before sighing out, addressing you.
“Thank you for your kind words, my lord.” she says, nodding once more. Patting her on the shoulder, you stand back up, making your way over to the mess hall. Where the door opens once more, but this time Freeza turns towards you as well as Beerus, Whis paying the door no mind as he enjoys his meal.
“Good morning, Lord Beerus. I hadn't expected you. Lord Freeza, how're you doing?” you ask, giving both of them a proper Saiyan salute before approaching. “What're you all doing out here?”
“Ask Freeza. He insisted we come out, said today was a party we couldn't miss.” Beerus replies, turning back to his food and taking another bite.
“Surely you haven't forgotten what day it is, Karn?” Freeza asks, to which you chuckle.
“If you mean Meloka Wolbach's party, of course not.” you reply. “Already have her gifts ready to go.”
“Grrfff?” Beeurs asks through a mouthful of food, forcing himself to swallow before speaking more clearly, addressing Whis. “A gift? Whis, do you-?”
“Already taken care of, my lord.” the angel replies, as suddenly a red, square box with a yellow bow wrapped around it appears in his upraised right hand a moment. Then it disappears again once Beerus nods, the two deities returning to their meal.
“What took you so long?” Freeza replies, his focus back on you. “Although I do like the new location, you could have given me a warning before we arrived on your old island.”
“Yeah, that just recently happened.” you reply, explaining to him everything that's happened since he's left. Your friend listening in rapt attention as he eats, nodding along as you catch him up to speed.
“Good. I had expected her to best that assassin. But look at you, taking on a leadership role. My General is stepping into his shoes.” Freeza says.
“Hahaha, dunno about all that. Didn't want the authority in the first place, but since I have it I'll be damned if I do a half-assed job.” you reply. “Although I should probably let them know the plan, since I won't be there this morning.”
