[Nelliel listens intently to Gohan's story, and she almost forgets to tend to the chicken until she notices it's sticking to the pan. It's carefully dislodged, and she mixes the sauce in over the chicken, then checks to make certain that the water boiling the noodles doesn't boil over.]

...I certainly hope he taught you how to hunt before he did that.

[Priorities. Nel has them. She's also completely unfamiliar with the concept of child protection services.]

[Gohan isn't extremely familiar with the concept, either. Also, what would CPS have been able to do against Piccolo anyway?]

Uh, not exactly. I mean, I'd seen Dad hunting sometimes, so I was able to figure things out. But Mr. Piccolo said that I had to learn to fend for myself before he'd teach me anything.

[He's aware that sounds pretty cruel, so he adds something.] He didn't know what it was like to have friends back then, so he was kinda mean about a lot of things. But I'm pretty sure he helped secretly for the first week or so. [There were just some little oddities that can't attribute to anything else. It's a happy thing, really; Mr. Piccolo had looked out for him even before they were friends.]

[That sounds a little better to Nelliel, and about what she'd expect of most other Espada who decided they had taken a liking to a child.]

I am glad to hear that.

Yeah, we became best friends over that year, even though Mr. Piccolo likes to pretend that he's still mean. [Silly Mr. Piccolo, thinking he has to do that. Everyone knows better, anyway.]

[Nelliel chuckles a little at that. Piccolo sounded like someone the Espada would get along with passably well, if Gohan's description of him was anything to go by.]

Well, if he ever winds up here I will pretend that I don't know otherwise.

[The food is nearly ready, and she routinely checks the chicken to make sure that it has browned.]

How are you finding living on your own? It seems like you can have all the privacy you want.

[She doesn't want to make assumptions that he'd prefer to live with others, but she has her suspicions.]
