You decide to visit the Namekian in his room, he has not left it since takeoff. You knock a few times and after a minute you hear his voice calling for you to enter. He is meditating in the middle of it, cross-legged and cross armed.
He looks at you disconcerted. “Well? Was there something you needed?”
“I simply wished to know what you’re doing here all day.” You say, looking around the room, nothing has changed at all in here since you left Earth. “I thought you were supposed to train.” You check his ki and notice that it’s… increased? How?
“I do not train like humans or you Saiyans. Meditation is more than good enough for me.”
“How is that possible?” You ask. “Don’t you need to keep your body fit?”
“I, well… My race, I guess, works differently. Our bodies are malleable and flexible, it’s easier for us to create muscle and we can even regrow limbs. Our struggle comes in managing ki through bodies that are so prone to change, that is why we meditate.”
“I see.”
The Namekian nods. “Well, was there anything else?”
“How has your strength increased so suddenly? You must be at a power level of…” The guesses for power levels come more and more naturally to you, even using the earthling’s energy sensing. “7.500? That’s an increase of 1.000.”
“True battle experience is what drives meditation. That increase was as a consequence of our battle at Vertes. I had some close calls down there with your long-haired friend. The other less powerful Saiyan and his child were crucial for our survival.”
You think of Kalabash and his firstborn, what was her name? Rokka? Yeah, that’s it. “7.500 is closer to our agreed goal of 9.000, not bad. Perhaps you will see your home planet soon.”
The Namekian closes his eyes and does not respond to that. “If you have nothing else to say, I’d like to resume my meditation.”
You nod and head out the door. The Namekian watches you leave with an eye open, then closes it again in sync with the door. Your conversation with him was relatively productive, though he seems unwilling to open up about much else, not that you need that type of information as of yet.
