@remorseful-fugitive wants to meet the parasite boi!

Knocks would bring Taiko from making breakfast, careful to set the batter for pancakes off to the side and turning the heat off on the pan before leaving the kitchen to answer the door. They looked through the peephole, but they could only see the top of someone’s head, yet due to how familiar the cloak and the bio-armor that resembled hair, the seer was already opening the door with a smile.

❝Morning, miss Snowy.❞ Inviting their friend inside (since it would make the icejin feel better to be out of sight anyway), Taiko closed the door and turned with a clap of their hands. ❝You’re actually in time to join us for breakfast! I, uh, have someone to introduce you to.❞

As though in response, a pair of bright magenta eyes would peer from the edge of the table, the knocking evidently having startled the boy into ducking under the table. An antenna flicked into view before curling up again, with soft chittering noises to be heard for a few seconds.

Admittedly, Taiko felt overly good about being able to talk the Icejin into staying longer this time around -- hopefully she’d get some better rest, and maybe they’d be able to help with the issue with her ribs almost painfully sticking out. Plus as much as Snowy worried about the seer getting into trouble, at least now they had some company.

After that short amount of time that left them horribly weakened by whatever it was that had inflected them for so long, the Namekian really wanted company around. Especially someone that hadn’t been aware of what happened, and thus far less likely to look at Taiko like they were suddenly about to fall ill again despite the fact that they were so much better. Even their Ki had improved.

With pajama bottoms on, Taiko softly walked past the guestroom door as they went down the hallway, being given away only a few creaks from the floorboards as they went to the kitchen to make some tea before sleep. 

@splittingxpaths commented for a starter.

While it took a long time for Taiko to convince her, Snowy had decided to stay with the Namekian for a couple more nights, just to try and get some better rest. Still, she felt a little guilty for staying longer than the usual one night. That, and she was worried about what could happen if anyone were to discover her in Taiko’s home. She was still a wanted criminal after all. Even if Taiko trusted her and treated her kindly, she doubt anyone else would.

That night, Snowy was getting herself ready to go to sleep. She wondered if Taiko was still up or if they already went to sleep.

@remorseful-fugitive​ liked this post for; Amnesiac Frieza

❝Excuse me, but... are we the same race?❞ He’s only seen parts of himself, and without an reflective surface, he couldn’t be entirely sure - but the parts he had observed seemed to be on the other. Especially the tail.

Broly couldn’t help but observe the Icejin that he accidentally ran into as he was wandering through the forest. He didn’t think he would see another Frieza-like person. In his recollection, he was fairly certain that his father had only really spoke about the emperor; not so much about the race itself. He didn’t know what to expect, but...

❝...You are small.❞

❝I’ve never known that one of my kind could fall so low to be in such a condition as you are in. That ridiculous tattered cloak isn’t doing you any favors.❞

The look of disdain was hardly concealed, though the Icejin held a certain amount of curiosity all the same. With the reports from the drones, it had caught his attention purely on how few are left of their collective race.

Snowy looked over to Taiko, curious as to what they wanted to give to her. The fact that the seer had their arms behind their back made her even more curious.

Once Taiko drew one of their arms out to reveal a bundled black cloth, Snowy’s curiosity grew as of what it might be. However, once she took the cloth from them and carefully unbundled it, her curiosity soon changed to surprise to see that it was a cloak. A cloak quite similar to the one she already owns, but obviously newer and seemingly made from a thicker type of material. Did… did Taiko made this for her?

“Oh Taiko… I love it!” She exclaimed with a bright smile on her face.

Excited, she quickly tried on the new cloak, seeing if it fits her, which it did perfectly. The hood also fitted, though slightly big over her head. That’s when she noticed the extra cloth at the front of it, just enough for her to draw it over her face.

Once she was done with trying on the cloak, she gave her friend a soft hug, with tears of joy in her eyes. To be given such a simple, yet meaningful gift… it made her emotional. It was the best gift she had ever received.

“Thank you Taiko… Thank you so much…”

Taiko was ecstatic to see that their gift was not only well received but happily wanted, watching happily as Snowy tried on the new cloak in her excitement. They were very glad that it fits so well, and they really hoped that it would serve her well in the cold days - hopefully better than the other cloak could. It should be far more durable too, and a lot less likely to tear from being caught in debris.

To find themself being hugged, the seer returned it with a big smile, careful of squeezing.

❝You’re more than welcome, Snowy. I’m glad you like it! Oh, and I do have another thing, but this one is more of a hand-me-down if you don’t mind it.❞

With an extra squeeze to the hug, they’d let go to pick up a bag that had been found recently. It was nothing very special, large enough to carry maybe a small blanket along with water and food and could be worn on the shoulder or on the back. It looked like it hardly ever saw action, so it was still relatively new. ❝It should be waterproof for rain storms, though I wouldn’t test it by throwing it into any lake or anything. Still, I hope it serves you as well as the cloak.❞

An ear twitched before the sounds of floorboards would creak; Namekians had sharp hearing, sharper than one may want at times when they could hear several miles away. While Taiko learned to block out their hearing to only listen to the immediate area, they could still hear the quiet door opening.

‘I guess Snowy hadn’t gone to bed yet,’ the seer thought. Looking over their shoulder from the stovetop, the kettle warming up now, Taiko gave the Icejin a smile when she would peek around the corner of the doorway.

❝Hey there,❞ they’d say warmly, turning to a cupboard and pulling down a small jar of sugar from its shelf. ❝I couldn’t sleep yet, so I figured some tea might help.❞ Placing the jar down onto the table, they’d then tilt their head to Snowy. ❝Would you like a cup as well?❞
