You look at him. “Would you have sided with Kakarot if we had tried to conquer the Earth at some point?”
Raditz looks at you straight in the dead eye. “Yes. I confess, my prince. I would’ve.”
You close your eyes. “Thank you for your honesty.”
“You are deserving of my honesty and my service, more than any other person I know, Prince Vegeta. It takes a real man to realize that the path he took was the wrong one and change it so radically, even fighting against those who would doubt his new way.”
That struck a chord in you. “I…” You can’t find the words. “Thank you.”
He smiles a stupid smile that reminds you of Kakarot a little too much. “No problem, prince Vegeta.”
You decide to change the topic, you’re getting emotional, it’s a new feeling for you, and you hate it. “What about your arm? Perhaps Bulma could make a replacement arm for you.”
Raditz looks at his stump. “Honestly? I don’t mind it. It’s kind of a reminder for me…” He seems to realize something. “…I mean, I know it’s stupid to be lacking an arm as a reminder of old mistakes. Hehe.” He scratches the back of his head. “I guess some sort of bionic arm would be a good a reminder as the lack of one?”
You laugh. “You fool. You could’ve thought of that a year ago and you would have a bionic arm on you already.”
“You think Bulma would do it for me?”
“She’d do anything for us.” You reply.
“Yeah, guess so.” Raditz says.
“Anyhow, I’ve got to go. I want to see Turles as well, I haven’t spoken to him in a while.” You say as you get up from your seat.
“Of course.” Raditz also gets up. “I’m going to go and see Nappa myself. He seems a bit off today and him not coming to train was rather odd, he loves training.”
“Good idea, he has a somber mind today.” You reply. Raditz nods. You both leave his room and wave each other goodbye.
