“What are you doing out this late?”
“Ah! C-Chey?”
The Earthling didn’t expect her friend to be out at this time either..or anyone for that matter. She was sitting on a mountain near the city where no one usually bothered her and she could have alone time. Or at least until now. It was pretty hidden so it was surprising that Chey managed to find it.
“I’m just..doing some thinking. Being outside helps me to clear my head.”
Chey’s black tail swished about as it normally did. “….You too, huh?” Chey slowly walked over and sat down next to the Earthling. “I usually do this by just strolling around Conton and going where my mind takes me, but I just happened to sense your energy and wanted to see what you were doin.”
Chey was silent for a bit. “….so…if you don’t mind me asking, what are ya thinking about?”
The girl pulled her knees closer to her chest. She didn’t want to burden the saiyan at all, but knew she’d get worried if nothing was said. The point of this spot was for her to be alone and think after all, but maybe opening up just a smidge wouldn’t be too bad. Chey was usually very understanding, unlike certain others that wouldn’t hear her out.
“Thinking about..home.”
Chey gave Veni a puzzled look, before a look of realization washed across her face. “Ohhhh! You mean…yeah…” Chey began to think for a bit. “Y’know…I don’t think you’ve actually told me about your old timeline. If you don’t mind talking about it, what was it like?”
The question caught her off guard. Not that it offended her or anything. She was just surprised Chey was actually interested in how her previous life was. If this was anyone but her, she’d have a sneaking suspicion that they would use the information against her, but fortunately that wasn’t the case.
“I mean, I guess I could explain a little of it if you really want me to..it’s not all that stellar in my opinion.” She smiles and lets out a light chuckle for the first time this night.
“Y’know, you really don’t have to say anything if you don’t want to. I don’t wanna be that person who forces a friend to divulge information that they don’t want to, that’d just be shitty of me.” the Saiyan replied, concerned that she might’ve been making her friend uncomfortable.
