Opherla was glad that Athren was at least agreeing to give the area a good look around for any sorts of bandits or slave traders that were in the area. The last thing Opherla wanted was for areas such as this one that seemed fully deserted to become swarmed by groups of slave traders and bandit camps of all likes and all kinds, that was something Opherla wanted to avoid at all costs, so the fact Athren would allow her to look was a huge help in and of itself, in Opherla's eyes.
Though, she also noticed his laid back stance as he accepted the proposal. Opherla figured she knew why, Athren was going to give Opherla a chance to show what she could really do, and Opherla was all for that as she had a wide smile on his face. Whether he believed she was a Saiyan or not, she was about to show him her Saiyan pride and prowess, courtesy of having a small sparring session with Callion before she came and met Athren.
"Well, sure thing, I'll take the lead. I guess you could call this my area of expertise in a way, considering the fact I know how a lot of them work." Opherla remarked. "Though, let me tell you, it's not pretty, what they do to a lot of females they catch, no matter if they're humans or any other race of people." Opherla added, knowing what she saw from most slave camps in regards to how the women were treated there. It... wasn't something she really wanted to remember as of right now.
And so, Opherla would take off flying, with Athren close behind, around the entirety of Orange City, looking far and wide for any signs of bandits or slave camps. She couldn't help but notice all the ruins around the area as the two of them flew, which brought up a topic for conversation that Athren hadn't been able to bring up.
"I've never been to Orange City before it was destroyed, do you know how it got like this? Or what it was like?" Opherla would ask Athren, not knowing that he was the one who actually destroyed the once City that they were currently flying around, as Opherla looked back, having not heard an answer for a long while after she asked, and noticing Athren's expression regarding this place. Opherla winced, she must have touched on a bad memory for Athren. Regardless if he had chosen to answer or not, Opherla couldn't help but feel bad for asking in the first place.
"S-sorry for bringing it up..." Opherla apologized as she genuinely felt sorry for bringing up Athren's bad memories. She would immediately try to change the topic to something else. "So... how long have you been on Earth? You look like the kind of person that knows Earth pretty well." Opherla would remark, hoping it would change the mood to a lot lighter standing.
However, her answer from Athren would get cut short as she spotted a MASSIVE bandit camp that had been in the Orange City Ruins, right under the noses of Opherla and Athren both, because it had been cleverly placed as a disguise in one of the thought to be abandoned buildings in the ruins, as Opherla looked at Athren.
"See how sneaky these guys are? They're using the damned ruins of this city to house their own base! What nerve!" Opherla spoke in rage as she saw a bandit having returned from a patrol heading back into their base, which was in the remains of a shopping district. "Well, I've had enough of them disrespecting the ruins of the city that once stood here. Whaddya say we teach these assholes a lesson?" Opherla remarked with a smirk as she flew down to the base, regardless of Athren's answer, as she rushed in, the guards up front yelling in startlement and fear as they were taken out by Opherla's attacks, as she rushed head-first into the base to start cleaning house! Figuratively, and literally! This was the opportunity she was looking for, the opportunity to prove herself as a true warrior to Athren! She wasn't about to let an opportunity like this go to waste! Not only would it hopefully prove to Athren how much of a Saiyan, or at least, a warrior, she was, but also hopefully allow her to get stronger thanks to the weighted clothes Athren had graciously given her! Although, they did slow down her movements a good bit, but not enough to really make a difference in fighting run of the mill bandits.
'Man, I really should thank Athren for these, I feel like these could really help me in my training for the long haul!' Opherla thought to herself with a wide smile as she kept on beating up bandits left and right with various techniques and abilities at her disposal, as she had a smile during the entire process.

Athren simply nodded his head when she said she'd take the lead, it was the best thing for them. Plus, it didn't help that Athren wasn't overly invested in this at the moment. It might have taken him out of his own head and given him something to do, but it wasn't something he craved to do, he simply did it to entertain the girl, distract his mind from what was on it. When she took off flying through the air Athren would trail closely behind her. "It's an unfortunate reality really, but so long as people are strong enough to force people to submit to them. This will always be an issue, all over the universe." Athren had done his fair share amount of traveling throughout the stars and it seemed as nearly every planet he was on had some form of issue like this. It may not have been a popular act through the universe, but it was present.
Though as they flew she couldn't help but bring up a topic that was a little closer to him. The state of this once populated city. Though Athren was rather hesitant at first, he'd slowly open up about it. Though he would keep most details hidden from her. She didn't need to know that he was responsible, that he had tricked multiple other saiyans into doing it with him. That was for the past, that was for nobody to remember now that he had managed to make his wish. "Well, the truth of the matter is three saiyans took their great ape forms and did all this damage.." He trailed off all for a short moment and got to the reason why, though clouding out any of his involvement in the situation. "If I recall, they were targeting the USD base here.. probably because of what was going on back on Vegeta but.. the whole city wound up the way it is. Before that it was an average Earth city, nothing spectacular but populated."
With the wind ruffling his hair and pressing against his skin, he kept up with the conversation. "It's fine, you can ask all the questions you want." Though when it came to his time on Earth, he would keep it rather brief. He didn't think it necessary to dig into his personal life too much and hand it out to her. "I've been here.. on and off for just over a year now? So, I'm still learning the culture and the lifestyle but.. It's peaceful, I like it here. Some of the places on this planet are just.. relaxing." It might've been the opposite of what you'd expect a saiyan to say, but it was how he felt and when he wasn't training, he really did just enjoy laying down around the river, closing his eyes and trying to enjoy a moment. It wasn't a luxury he was given for the majority of his life.
When the girl had finally seen a camp, she was excited and eagerly rushed in to face them. Athren couldn't help but just float there and observe. He wanted to see what this girl was capable of and surely, some weak targets would at least let her demonstrate some form of fighting skill.

Opherla's focus was now on the entirety of the bandit camp before her, as she was going to make sure these sneaky bandits wouldn't defile the ruins of this place any farther. Opherla would make absolute sure of that, and they were all pretty much weaklings in her presence, so she could show her true battle prowess to Athren.
When it came to basics, Opherla was quite adept in several forms of fighting, even utilizing a fighting style Athren hadn't seen before in some of her attacks. Irregardless, she struck and attacked in a way where she made sure there was little to no window for counter blows, using her immensive speed to land quick yet effective blows on all the bandits she faced, and even took some of them out with merely ki blasts. All in all, she had great form and great fighting abilities.
When it came to her techniques, they weren't half bad. Though, Athren did find it slightly weird when Opherla poofed away from an attack and a cat plushie was where she used to be, though she soon ambushed said attacking bandit from behind and continued her assault on the base. She was nimble and light on her feet, able to avoid most attacks and block others when she had to. Despite how composed her style seemed to be, she still seemed to have a bit of savage nature to her strikes, as seen in a ki-based X pattern wave cutting through a bandit, to using an attack that rended and cut a large group of bandits to pieces before blowing them apart with a ki blast. Her techniques, while weak, still had a good amount of power behind them.
It only took a minute or two before Opherla was done clearing out the entirety of the bandit base, dusting her hands off, as it seemed she was getting used to her weighted clothing that Athren gave her more, as she dusted it off a bit before looking up at Athren.
"Sooo... how did I do?" Opherla asked, as if nervously asking a teacher how she did on the exam. She knew Athren had watched the entirety of the fight, so she was curious about what criticisms he had about her style of fighting, similar to what Callion had critiqued her about when she sparred with him.

When it finally came down to it, Athren would lower himself and touch his feet down on the ground to spectate. His arms crossing as the rain continued to drizzle down on them. His ocean blue eyes would observe the girl as she made her move on the bandits that surrounded the camp. Her attention was on nothing else aside from the bandits, which was a very good start if someone were to be judging her, but the truth was that isn't exactly what Athren intended to do. He'd observe what she was capable of, but he wasn't going to judge her fighting style, or skills. He just wanted to see if she could put her money where her mouth was, see if she had the spark of a saiyan in battle. That was all for him. He wasn't a teacher, nor was he a training with anybody aside from his very own children when they were around him but as far as a stranger goes? Pointers would be for a more personalized training session.
When it came to her physical attacks, it did resemble the ruthlessness of a saiyan, they were more savage then elegant, more blunt instead of precise but they were effective against her current enemies. They clearly got the job done here and if she had been fighting against somebody of equal strength, he could see them being effective there too. After all, his own fighting style was mostly about dealing heavy damaging punches.
When she would finally returned, she was pretty eager to hear his opinion. He assumed she would have expected a full in depth opinion but he was going to disappoint her in that regard. Maybe, if he was willing to teach her he'd break it down, but she didn't need to know the full extent of what he was thinking about her fighting style, she just needed to know the bare minimum. Plus, Athren would much rather avoid allowing anybody get close enough to him to know his thoughts, he wanted to keep people at an arms length and retain some sense of mystery about himself. Though the Dragon granted his wishes, he didn't want that to get thrown out the window because he trusted the wrong people.
"Well, There's a ruthlessness with how you fight. I'll give you that." Athren paused all but for a brief moment before continuing. "But not bad at all, you've got potential. I'd like to see you go up against somebody as powerful as you though, that might be entertaining."
Maybe someday he'd get to see that, but for now it almost seemed as if their little encounter was soon coming to a close. He didn't have much to tell her at this point, she was a fine fighter, but he couldn't invest the time in her here and now to give guidance. Maybe in the future, if they'd cross paths again, he'd be more willing. "But.. Now that we've had some entertainment, It's probably about that time I go attend to some things."

Opherla heard Athren's words and nodded herself as she heard them. "Yeah. You're right. Probably best for us to both split apart for now and go about our own ways." Opherla admitted to Athren with a genuine tone as she understood perfectly why he decided they should go their own ways. He wasn't a teacher, Opherla knew that. But she did know she at least had an ally, and a friend, in Athren, as she smiled at him.
"One day, I hope I can become strong like you, so that I can protect this planet and be a great hero like you, Athren." Opherla said with a bright smile of determination. "I will do all I can to try and get stronger as fast as I possibly can! Until then... I hope we meet again one day, until then, see ya!" Opherla would say cutely, before she took flight and headed back home, with a heart full of determination and spirit for the days ahead. What a young pup... so full of spirit and vigor, so willing to become stronger...
She had taken the Weighted Clothing Athren gave her with her. It's not like he seemed to care for them anymore, so Opherla assumed it was alright for her to take them and use them for her future training. Besides, she already had a plan in mind how to fashion these babies up to something she would wear on a daily basis. Opherla was going to be a great hero someday! Or... that was the hopes of the young pup at least. With all the people she met, she was confident that she would reach the top... one day.
If only she could see in the future to how quickly that dream would collapse on her. But why ruin her moment now? Let her bask in her determination and spirit... she needs all the moments like these she can get.

It wasn't like him to be this talkative when meeting somebody, nor was it like him to go out on a little bandit hunt but things had been changing for the Demonic Saiyan Hybrid. He was trying to walk a much better path, one that contributed little bits of good into the world, one that could potentially help people in need instead of bringing destruction and death for wealth. It was a big shift in his lifestyle and his goals were still unclear to him at the moment, but he wouldn't get anywhere if he lingered, stayed in one place. He had to get himself moving, even if that only meant taking one small step in the right direction. He would need to start small, and hopefully the trail he was walking would lead him to where he needed to be. He could only hope for that.
Though, when she had been speaking about going on their way she couldn't help but make a comment that made him arch his eyebrow. She wanted to be strong like him, protect this planet and be a great hero like him. It was at this point that he couldn't stay silent. He had to speak up, he wasn't about to let somebody believe he was something that he wasn't. He knew the cold reality of his past, he wasn't going to dive into it, but he wasn't going to allow this girl to see him as a hero. "Listen, you keep up on training and you'll be plenty strong. Those weights are going to help you out big time too, but let's get ONE thing clear before you go. I'm certainly no hero. Never have been, and probably never will be."
It wasn't difficult to tell that if this girl were to put in the work, she'd make one hell of a hero. She could be somebody the Earth could rely on to protect it, to make all the right decisions and to do her best for selfless reasons. The planet needed more people like her and that was just a fact. It needed less people like Athren, and more bright eyed innocents like this girl. If she worked hard and kept up on the training, Athren didn't have a single doubt on his mind that she'd reach the levels that he did, maybe she'd even manage to surpass him but only time would tell that.
For now though, that wasn't much of a concern. He was sure he'd see her again and assumed she'd have gained lots of strength by that point. Right now, he had to focus on himself and worry about his own plans and goals and currently, the only real big threat to the planet was Liari. He knew that soon, they'd come to a clash whether he was ready or not. He would just have to do his best to make sure he was as prepared as possible. He couldn't afford to lose his children again, he wouldn't let it happen. "I'll see you around." With that being said, Athren would fly off and take his leave.
