"You are right of course Ms. Opherla. I apologize for my outburst: I truly only meant to help and it seems I got a bit carried away. Please, interrupt me in the future if I get carried away again. It is much more important for us to hone our strength and powers for the trials ahead." ABAS said, bowing his head once more. He tried his best to sound appropriately contrite: it was obvious both of them did not wish to continue this conversation, and forcing the issue was more likely to alienate him from two possible training partners rather than do anything productive. It was annoying to be cut off in mid-rant, but annoyance was preferable over ki wastage.

He turned to Liek then, extending a spindly hand to shake. "Please, accept my apologies for how harsh my words were Mr. Liek. I only meant to prepare you for the wider world. I will consider the worth of your words at a later date." He said, clicking his beak in an approximation of a low chuckle.

"As for a specific training field, well, that would be a question for you two. I don't think I am permitted to bring you to the training facilities I know of nearby. Their locations are classified and I don't think anyone is particularly in the mood for paperwork right now. Should we adjorn to that training field you mentioned Ms. Opherla? That would probably be for the best."

While such a sparring session would have perhaps been more fruitful in a Blacksite training room, ABAS had no intention of letting either of these heroes see where he really came from. If they thought him harsh, the Blacksite itself would probably send them into fits of anger. If they didn't try to destroy it first of course. And while that would be darkly amusing, he was more interested in testing the pair on the battlefield.....

To say the beginning of Liek’s working relationship with ABAS was getting off to a rocky start would definitely be an accurate way of describing things. While it seemed the views of Opherla and ABAS mostly aligned, with Opherla having a more middle ground approach between the two, Liek and ABAS where on opposite ends of the Optimism versus Pragmatism scale. That, at least, was the impression that the youth got of the entire conversation.

Still, even with the conversation over the boy couldn’t help but pout at ABAS. While he wasn’t against ending the debate there and then it didn’t mean had to like it one bit! Even so, that didn’t mean he couldn’t let things go. He wasn’t fixated on Pride like a full-blooded Saiyan would be, nor so much he couldn’t speak the words that came from his mouth, “I’m sorry too, ABAS. I shouldn’t have gotten so worked up.” Surprisingly his tone was humble as, despite his passion, he thought the bio-android was older then himself and was thus inclined towards offering a little respect for his perceived greater experience.

The boy also noticed the streak falling from the sky. While ABAS elected to take his leave the wolf-girl chose to fly in the direction the falling star had been headed. Noticing that he could sense life coming from the star the boy considered his possible actions. Following ABAS seemed like a bad idea, something told the boy it was best to leave the armoured warrior be for the time being. There was the option of just staying and exploring the city like he’d originally planned. On the other hand following the girl with the pretty eyes sounded like a great idea! Not only would he get to see more of her, but he may just get to be involved in keeping the planet safe sooner then he expected, which was an exciting prospect.

With excitement bouncing around inside him like electricity the boy made his decision and flew off in the direction Opherla had been headed.
