Twenty-Three

[return_my_rice]

[A sound of breaking glass can be heard. Gohan was drinking a glass of water, when he gripped it too hard, causing it to explode.]

Oops!

Aw, man, not again...this is the third time...!

[The sound of glass shards getting scooped up and deposited in the trash can can be heard over the phone.Man... Go a few months without your strength and you

[have a concerned voice]

...Are you all right?

[return_my_rice]

...Oh, man, this was on?

It's okay. I'm fine.

[badend_syndrome]

Gohan...are you okay, nano desu?

[return_my_rice]

I really hope that not too many other people heard that.

Yeah. I'm okay. I just broke a glass by accident.

[badend_syndrome]

O-oh.

Well don't pick it up, okay? Don't hurt yourself, nano desu.

[return_my_rice]

It's all right. I swept it up with a brush and dustpan.

[badend_replay]

Gohan, are you okay? Something went crick crash! Did you get hurt? Should I come tell the pain to go away?

[return_my_rice]

No, it's okay! I'm fine. I just gripped a glass too hard and it broke.

[badend_replay]

Wouldn't that make your hand hurt? The glass would make it go "owy" right?

[return_my_rice]

Not me. It takes more than glass to hurt me.

[lordmaximoff]

Try not to break everything in the house, boy. I will be very cross if I have to live in even worse conditions than I am already stuck with.

[return_my_rice]

...I'm sorry. I just got some of my strength back, so I'm trying to relearn how to control it.

[lordmaximoff]

So I had gathered.

Once I regain my own strength it might be entertaining to test your's against mine.

[return_my_rice]

[Gohan remains silent for a moment. Right now his need for people of similar strength to spar against is battling his hatred of fighting.]

...Maybe. But...it depends on how much more of my strength I get back.

[white_pretear]

Gohan? Are you okay?

[return_my_rice]

Yeah. I'm fine.

[white_pretear]

What happened?

[return_my_rice]

I broke a glass by accident.
