[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.]
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.]
