Hey there! Bulma here - looks like I'm either busy or just not available at the moment!

Leave me a message and I'll get back to you when I can. Or not, your loss!

[The look went...not so completely ignored, per say, but Mai gave it very little thought. For the same reason why she'd corrected herself mid-sentence.]

I'd figured as much. Even now, he still weighs a little more than my Trunks.

[A weight she was far more accustomed to carrying. Mostly in the heat of battle, when her adrenaline was high.]

Do you have a plan for when we get back? What happened to Vegeta when he was like this?

[ballseeker]

We'll have to fix that. [ Look - she wants him to be hearty and healthy. They're living a better life, here, so there's no reason to stay lean in that way, like they don't have more than enough to go around for the moment. ]

He's going to lay down, sleep, and rest until he's back in moving condition. [ That's the short term plan - and if things didn't improve she'd go from there. ]

Before Trunks, when Vegeta destroyed the GR and could barely get out - that's how he recovered. With a lot of cajoling, of course, but... sometimes it's just down to rest. Especially since he doesn't seem to have any external injuries.

[Oh, don't think Mai hasn't been trying, Bulma; it was technically part of her job to make sure he ate, even before they...well...]

I can imagine how difficult it must've been for Vegeta to be told it lay still. And even harder for him to actually do it.

[ballseeker]

He didn't do it for long, trust me. And bitched the whole time about being taken care of. [ But then again a lot of that was more than likely just blustering for the sake of it. Knowing Vegeta he was trying to swat his feelings away and that meant shoving Bulma away too.

Not that it had worked, obviously. ]

You would think the Prince of all saiyans would've liked having food brought to him and all, but no.

[waitingforhope]

He seems more like the kind of Prince who would find it an insult. Having other people do things for him he's perfectly capable of doing himself.

[From what she knew of the man and his Saiyan Pride.]

For Trunks, it was a little different. He wouldn't always eat or sit still because he felt there was more he could be doing for others.

[ballseeker]

Well, other than the perfectly able part.. [ There's a little laugh, there, though she shrugs at the memory. Vegeta then had been such a different man than the one she knows now that it's sometimes a bit.. stunning. In all of the best ways, of course. She never would have thought the man who hardly wanted anything to do with Trunks would be so hands on with Bulla, But there's not a chance she minds. ]

Sounds about right... though you can't keep saving people if you're tired or run down.
