“Papa?” speaks my child. My half-Saiyajin child who acts human.

 

“Yes?” respond I. I who would have been King.

 

“I have a question.” Bra crawls into my lap and looks up at me. On Vejitasei, such intimate behavior would have been darkly frowned upon.

 

“What is it?” I hold her. This would have been almost taboo behavior.

 

“Can you teach me to speak Saiyajin?”

 

I am bewildered and can only reply, “Why?”

 

She whispers, “‘Cause then we could talk to each other and no one would know what we are saying.”

 

I smirk. There is hope for this human yet.
