>>6143196But seeing your daughter, you decide to reach out to her. She hasn't been home much since her last encounter with Raditz, saying she was busy and not coming around. But you have a sneaking suspicion she's still hurting, so decide to reach out to her. Not aloud, though. Just in case she doesn't want to talk to everyone about this, you reach out telepathically.
“Hey, Chaya. You doing okay?” you ask her with a thought, your eldest daughter glancing to you. “Everything okay?”
“Yeah?” she replies after a moment, clearly confused. “Dad? What is it? What's going on?”
“I'm just making sure you're okay, kiddo.” you tell her, brows furrowing a bit as she looks to you. “Last time we talked, you weren't doing so well after... What happened on Eudora.”
“It wasn't a good time, I was pretty messed up from meeting Raditz again and what he said for a while.” your daughter replies aloud, having walked over to stand beside you. “But thanks to my friends, I'm over it. Over him. He and Redis can go on and live their lives, and I'll do the same. In fact, after the fight with Hit wraps up, I'm planning to announce that I'm looking for a new partner.”
“Oh, really? Well, that's good.” you say, surprised at just how... Okay she seems. You remember the spiral she went down before, to see her so perfectly okay with not only talking about him, but wishing him well and talking about moving on? It's so unbelievable you can't help but feel shocked. In a good way, as this is the point you'd wanted her to get to. You just hadn't thought it would be so soon. “So, do you have anyone in mind?”
“No. But I have a plan.” she says with a grin, then continuing telepathically lets you know what she's scheming. “After I beat Hit, I'll be announcing to everyone that I'm going to be hosting a universe-wide competition. A tournament, to show what everyone can do.”
“A tournament? If you're looking for strong, why have it universe-wide? Why not just here on our world, where the strongest gather?” you ask her, to which your daughter's grin widens.
“It's not all about strength, I'm not looking for someone to protect me, I'm looking for someone to love me. Who will love me as much if not more than I love them, more than most of my fans adore me even.” she says, then looks down at her hands as she continues speaking aloud. “Someone who'll make me want to reciprocate their love, will make me want to spend time with them because of who they are and how they make me feel. Someone who will make me not want to live without them, and would do anything for. That's the kind of love I'm looking for.”
