Free Food is Best Food [Ayumu/Lettuki]

Ayumu wandering about near his own caravan that he had fashioned a little serving side in as he walked from one side to another, his face showing a rather happy smile as the little penguin sitting on the counter in the sun was letting out a few content noises, from actual penguin noises to mumbling things like 'fish' and 'I love the sun' as it wasn't too hot yet in this enviroment.

"Well, am i not glad that i have a little rascal to keep me busy" He would proclaim contently as he would take his own fist and then strike his own back wherever he could, his back and hips having been aching less and less, but his posture still not the best as he was bending over slightly.
Carrying his food from the back to the front as a large collection of capsules each labeled with small notifications was all he had to go by.

Yet the area that he had gone too was apparently known for birthing somebody strong, hope was in Ayumu his heart as he would then put his effort once again in his aromatic cooking, placing the little penguin on a small part inside of the stall but still within view if they approuched the open side as he would kick one of his legs upon being grabbed by the back and belly.
The large piece of meat that was now placed on the flipped over metal cover that was placed infront of the stall slowly extending outwards as a section below showed a few heat outputs as he would manipulate a few blasts of energy to get it going again.

'Thank god that everything has been coming up my way with these weights, they are really working a way on my own back and hips, i can barely feel them anymore...' Doing a few slight hops before a pop from his side showed that he was getting a bit too careless.
Yet that is when he would notice a figure coming from the air towards him, his appearance giving a sense of a wild beast as he would grit his own teeth carefully.
Knowing that there was always the risk that he could catch something a bit vicious when he was aiming for a potential child that could grow into a defender of hopes.

"Welcome!" Ayumu would proclaim to the flying figure as he popped a capsule in the back and took a handfull of leaves and small pieces of flora as he threw them on the metal plate that was heated by small exhausts from old ships that had crashed onto the planet.
"What are you doing around here?" Ayumu asked as he would find himself then quickly realizing "Ayumu! Ayumu Hope, been trying to get my back fixed via the art of cooking as i am a little too weak to be doing anything exciting, right?"
His face showing a rather confident smile as he would expect a fun reaction from this person, especially with his plan. "The food is free by the way, just give me your real opinion and remember to ask for seconds or favourites!"

As Ayumu would serve a rather large steak towards the Saiyan, not even taking the time to cut it up as he would keep a few small heating elements underneath the dish as he would sit down on a chair to think about how to answer the question.
There was a large collection of information that he could spout forwards yet this man would probably not see any interest in it this early in the conversation.
His smile turning into one of annoyance and thought before then bringing itself back to a serene kind of happiness as he leaned against a wall in his stall as he tried to avoid eye contact for his first bit.

"Please, do eat as you want.
But for my belief on why i consider myself weak... It isn't because of the legends that i have seen hundreds of years ago, instead it is the fact that i wasn't able to protect those i held dear when i was given the chance because i was too weak.
To carry the life of a child taken by another and strive to do it justice... Life is unfair isn't it?"

Going to try and make eye contact as he finished the first part, his eyes were filled with sorrow, deep within a rage was boiling yet it was surrounded with a powerfull willpower that contained it, it kept the chains locked down as he would let his heart pound and nearly burst out of his own neck.
This was Ayumu showing that even with the anger of losing a single life, he wasn't going to just forego his own lessons.

"Please excuse me for telling a story like this, but after then being reminded about a man who went berserk in an arena, his power exploding outwards and lives being taken in the confusion.
But please, do remember this lesson from a man who has been beating himself up over some years, too many to be honest.
Rage is not a tool one must handle carelessly, A serene river that guides your fists will prove to help you push your own base further quite nicely."

Ayumu taking this moment of when he finished speaking to take something out of the side of the stall, his feet tapping over the wooden boards on the ground beneath him with the echo being a little louder than it should be as a soft song started playing from inside of his stall before he came back with a few searing hot metal spikes with large chunks of dinosaur meat on it.

"Please, do enjoy the meal and if possible, talk with me longer, it helps me much more than you can imagine.
So thank you."

The man spoke, with a saddened smile, a small droplet forming on the corner of his left eye as he would then go back to preparing more meats to keep this Saiyan going on his dining.
Even if it meant running his supplies a little low, he was just thankfull somebody was there to listen.

"Earth is my family" He would say as his hands started moving towards the empty plates, serving a few glasses of drinks towards the man as he would scratch the back of his head, not knowing how this would come across as he then looked at the scars on his palms.
The music softly picking up in the back of the caravan as he would sigh to himself, knowing that he couldn't extend the situation at hand as he walked to the back of the truck, grasping a small pile of letters that he then moved to the front with.

"And as the earth is my family and how i can see the smiles of so many on it, i sometimes tend to take on random tasks to appear infront of certain people, especially when they are appreciated like you." Placing the small stack besides himself.
Moving a few of the papers away as he went through the bills before then finding a few that had a specific style of writing, childish writing.

"You have fans, kids who look up to how strong you have gotten and the raw power you were able to show off, with the research i have put in... i can see why they would do this.
Affection is something anybody can earn but the love of a kid that would look up to you at this point with such passion that i could get seventy two letters handwritten for delivery by a random librarian who saw so much death?" Ayumu then stood up straight.
He could complain to this man that he had seen in the past, he could blow the ruse and tell him that he had connections to get him arrested, but if it wasn't for the big angry warrior who had been flying around, the amount of casualties would have been much higher, the connections that were there, the chaos that was spreading.
A single black sheep would have unified all the forces... And it did.

"Thank you for inspiring kids to become strong, humans, arcosians, majins and even saiyans.
But above all, Lettuki, as somebody who wasn't able to do it myself, thank you for saving the lives of so many innocent people by becoming a temporary target." Taking a small amount of zenni from the table as he put a certain saiyan his bounty on the table, knowing that he could probably refuse this money, but if opened to peek into it came with smaller items too.

"Paid by the people who wanted your opponent gone, people who have been wronged by a few saiyans who thought that it would be a smart idea to eradicate anybody in their way, from the elderly to the younger ones.
But i hope that my stall is enjoyable to you, if you ever need a strange favour to be handled, please remember that i am always here for everybody on earth.
Even you as a visitor are family to me, but this must be a bit too much for now, Sorry."

Upon hearing his own words be used, Ayumu couldn't help but stand there silently as he saw the emotions that were brought forwards, noticing that the conversation was pushed a bit more forwards as he felt powerless upon this statement.
Was he wrong? Was it wrong from this man that stood before himself to know that there is a way to cling to the past of being powerless?

It was at this point that Ayumu took a soft breath, stretching his hand out as a small ball of energy manifested itself, slowly bubbling and forming into a thick sustenance before it would smoothen out with two placements of energy that would keep it in place for a bit as he then swung his own hand backwards as the tip of his own finger manifested a string of energy.
Stringing about as he would move it forwards, he would cough to himself lightly.

"Then i will protect those that you can not." Feeling that he wasn't too strong himself, knowing that he had to put in more effort to stick on the same level as the saiyans, as the arcosians, as all other races, Ayumu was just writing on the piece of paper as he had the energy from his finger slowly change colour.
As if it was decided by some kind of whim what colour it would take, Ayumu seemed rather focused on his own goal as he would continue for a solid half a minute before then placing the piece of paper on the table before himself.

"If you consider yourself a beast and feel that you have to be put down, then i will become strong enough to make you seem manageable." He would state at first, then he would stick up his own hand, two fingers extended as he continued.

"If you want yourself to be stopped, then i will grow strong enough so that you can reign free without a chance of you losing control." As Ayumu would shift his hand, shaking it sideways as he had now three fingers extended.

"If you think that you becoming a black sheep in an arena of chaos didn't save some lives, then i am going to show you just how you can really save a life." Before he would then close his own hand as he slid forwards the piece of paper with it written in the earth language, Yet the magic cast on the paper itself as the energy from Ayumu his finger had stopped with a few droplets of blood hitting the floor beneath him.
Showing that he had taken a little bit of a risk to himself by letting his own fluids leak for the sake of something as superficial as a contract to prove his words.

"I have lost people, i am too weak to protect them now, but if you give me a single month, at the end of May where we will meet on the planet Earth again, i will prove to you that i have become capable of protecting those that i hold dear.
That an emotion that is as weak as these hundreds of years of pain that is eating away in my insides" Saying it carefully in a way to speak towards the Saiyan that talked about how he found himself a beast, Ayumu would close his eyes as it was not too easy to get over an emotional issue of your own.
He could feel his own breath starting to shake as he was scared, he knew that facing the enemies that he would obtain by growing stronger were numerous.
For the split second that Ayumu had stopped to take a breather, he could feel the cold sweat of responsibility, he had always been seeking out people that he could train, he had always been seeking out the stronger people, but growing stronger himself.

Putting himself back on the battlefield to slowly have the pain become part of your being instead of suffering under it and teaching other people the lessons that were involved with them, this was tearing him apart completely as he would grit his teeth and push onwards.
Ayumu was not a proud earthling, he wasn't a proud warrior, but above all, he wasn't a proud defender of something.

But he could be.

"I am the product of my own past, not the slave of it, If you will give me the time, i will become strong enough to impress everybody and at that point i will strive to become the guardian of Earth.
Because i am not letting another child with that same expression as you go evil, even if i have to crawl into hell and give my own life to protect you.
You have a written contract of my blood oath as i will train and get stronger to keep our hearts pure, even if it costs my life." At this point Ayumu was panting slightly as he had speaken a rather large amount before using a small amount of energy from his already drained body to cleanse himself before then reaching out his hand.

A hand that was scarred from age, from resistance and from battles, from the past expieriences that he had gone through, one that had looked so weak to himself in the past, seeing his own body with the muscles that were made from hard effort that looked so miniscule.
At this point he felt large, he felt larger than the world, his motivations set in stone as he would have a burning flame in his own eyes as he was hoping to communicate to this person that he wasn't just a stranger at this point, even if he had a life on his back, that they shouldn't chain him down.
And it was up to the man that was willing to risk his life to offer him a chance to become somebody much better, to allow him to improve without feeling the risk of losing controll. "Please trust me, Either as a friend, enemy or anything, i will do what i say."
