Gohan grew quiet, thinking. The Ginyu Force, specifically Recoome had hurt him badly, though it seemed not as bad as Tundra. Still it was not something he liked to think about often. In fact he'd rather forget that debilitating helplessness he felt. If he was stronger he could have helped at least a little bit more instead of letting everyone get hurt like that...especially Krillin. Poor Krillin. He hoped to never see something like that again.
"I like it out here too...I'm glad we don't live in the city but it's nice to visit every now and then. They have a really good school my mom wants me to go to but I don't know if I have time what with the training I have to do if I'm going to get big and strong like my daddy. I already study a lot, but I don't think it will ever be enough for my mom." Gohan laughed, remembering that was what he was supposed to be doing right now, but here he was on the way to Kami's. Chichi would be upset but he knew Goku would take care of it. As long as he came back safe, she would be at least less mad.

Goku wasn't sure how to react to Tundra's words of the Ginyu force, and he remained silent when he spoke of his home planet. It was somewhat humbling to hear that the race of Frieza's people wasn't a bunch of power-hungry tyrants hell-bent on taking over the universe. Tundra was proof of this, and it made Goku relax a bit. There was good in the universe, no matter what shape or size. The mentioning of Chichi almost had Goku fall right out of the sky and he recomposed himself, chuckling to Gohan's words and scratching lightly at his scalp, "Aww, she'll be fine, Gohan! As long as your safe, nothing else matters, right...? Heheh, hehhh..."
Just ahead stood the thin stem holding up the disc of the lookout and he smiled, looking back at the other two, "Hey! I see it! We're almost there! Follow me up, okay?" With that, once Goku reached the supporting pole, he curved his path upward, dark hair whipping about his face and behind his head.

Tundra glanced in the direction they had been flying. A rather tall and skinny pole stood before them, leading up into the sky. He narrowed his eyes as he looked up. He couldn't quite see the top, but he knew he could trust this Saiyan. As such, he followed him upwards, doing his best to try and match his speed.
"How much farther? I'd imagine that this kind of altitude would make life difficult up there," Tundra called out. "I've noticed that in most other beings. Less air, less life."
At some point, he began to see a form at what he assumed was the top of the pole. That was quicker than he expected...in a way...

Gohan grew excited at their soon approaching arrival. He wondered what Kami would think of their new friend. It had been some time since he had last seen Kami and he wondered if the old Namekian remembered him. As well as Mr. Popo. The more he thought about the more he wondered about what Kami might have to say about the reappearance of Planet Vegeta and what they might expect once they get there.
He followed closely behind his father and Tundra.
"Oh it's not too far if you get to fly."
Unable to contain his excitement, he laughed loudly and rocketed off in front of his father calling behind him: "Race Ya!"

Goku smiled and called back, "Well, the funny thing is-- Not many people live up there! The air is a little thin but it doesn't seem to bother them in the least! ...Maybe Namekians don't need to breathe? Who knows, but they've lived up there for centuries, so I don't see why it would start bothering them now!" Mr. Popo was a Djinn, that much was certain. But did Djinn need to breathe? He gave it a little thought before forgetting about it completely.
It wasn't long until they reached the top, a massive, flat-topped bowl clustered with windows along it's winding curve until they reached the very top. Goku landed on the white tile and looked around before reaching the edge of his hand up to the corner of his mouth and calling out, "KAAAAMIIIIIIII! Mr. POPOOOOOO!" He took a couple steps forward, looking towards the India-style architecture ahead of them. "It's us, Goku and Gohan! We have someone we want you to meet! Just--just don't be alarmed when you see him!" He laughed a little.
The old Namekian would make his appearance slowly with Mr. Popo at his side. He wasn't expecting any visitors today, but Goku and his son were always welcome in their own right. He came out and smiled at them, "Ah, Goku, Gohan. So wonderful to see you. I trust your training is going well." He then saw Tundra and tensed a little. He was unsure of what to think, though his appearance was somewhat startling and a little malicious, that didn't mean he was straight up evil. He stuttered a little, glancing between Tundra and the two Saiyans, "Ahh-who is your friend, Goku?"
"His name is Tundra! He's part of Frieza's people, but he's not like Frieza at all! Quite the polar opposite, actually," Goku said, still smiling and looking back at Tundra.

When Tundra heard Goku warn this 'Kami' and 'Popo' to not be alarmed upon seeing him, he almost felt insulted. He couldn't help but bite his lip to avoid growling in annoyance. As Goku introduced Tundra, he finally floated onto the surface of the Lookout. He held a stern look on his face, which seemed to elicit quite the reaction.
He then glanced at Goku again as he explained Tundra's demeanor. He sighed and rolled his eyes.
"As much as I appreciate your attempts to break the ice, Goku," he began. "I would like to introduce myself in the future. Is that alright with you?"
He wasn't trying to be rude or anything. It just seemed weird to have someone else announce him to someone he had never met before. Quite odd...

Gohan paused upon landing on the platform to Kami's look out. He looked over the side and contemplated the scenery. Is this what Vegeta looked like? Was it anything like Earth or was it like Namek? Gohan could feel the excitement brewing in his veins. He listened as his father introduced Kami and Popo to their new friend Tundra. He liked the changeling's quiet demeanor. He seemed intelligent and though Gohan liked to roughhouse with his father and Krillin, but because of all the studying he did, Gohan liked that there was another smart person to talk to.
Gohan watched as Tundra tensed up, a bit off put by Goku's introduction and Gohan frowned, perplexed...maybe it was just bad manners on Goku's part but then again...Tundra didn't know anyone here..but they all knew what he was and the resemblance to Frieza was enough that those who had not been on Namek might be easily confused.
"Tunrda...Dad just trying to make sure no one makes any false assumptions about you that's all."

Goku had a habit of getting ahead of both everyone and himself. He looked back at Tundra, blinking a bit, before laughing nervously and scratching at the back of his head, "OH! Haha, I'm sorry! I guess I'm just a little eager!" He jumped back away from the pairing next to Gohan and looked on as the scene played further out.
Kami blinked as well and watched them all, his uncertain expression slowly easing into a light smile. Mr. Popo stood behind him and watched silently, glancing between the two of them periodically and waiting for Kami's request. "Ah, no worries. Well then, you have the floor, should you like," Kami nodded towards the Changeling.

Tundra sighed at Gohan. He turned to him and gave him a slight nod before looking back up to Goku and the elderly Namekian and the strange man standing behind him. He looked past Goku to focus on this 'Kami' person after he "had the floor".
"It is nothing," Tundra replied coolly. "I simply feel that it is a formality to be introduced, and I prefer to do that on my own. I realize that he was merely being polite and trying to break the ice, but that simply makes me uncomfortable. But yes, my name is Tundra and I have no intention to harm this peaceful planet."
He turned and looked over the edge towards the ground. They were really high up. So precariously perched on such a thin pole. He was astounded that, as strong as the winds were in between the ground and the lookout were, that it wasn't even swaying.

Gohan looked up at his father, smiling. He always knew what to do and now would be no different. Gohan was nervous about the upcoming trip to Vegeta. It occurred to him that there would be more Saiyans on the planet...suddenly he began to worry. What if Vegeta went with his own intentions of leading an army back to Earth? His face shifted from passiveness to worry and then fear. He reached up and tugged on his dad's sleeve.
"Dad...is Vegeta coming with us?"
