Closed Log--"So I bought some rings...."

[light_of_willpower]

Who: Trunks, Bulma, Vegeta, Devero
Where: Quiet Carriage
When: Nebula 4ish, Evening
What: Trunks has been having some serious thoughts, and wants to discuss them with his family.
Warnings: Cuteness, potential language?


It hadn't been too hard to find his mother and father, or Devero, and ask them all to meet with him. It had been harder to find a time, and then to keep Cassie from knowing too much. Since it concerned her.
Nor could Trunks say why he was nervous, really. At least about this. But their mission--where Chaos had kidnapped them, had given him things to think about. And...he was curious, considering his parents were clearly different than what he'd grown up with. Dev was also from an entirely different world, and Trunks wanted his input too.

So he waited, in a quiet carriage, carrying the small box he'd ordered from the train store.

Bulma's a little too curious for her own good about these things. Ever since receiving the invitation, she's been racking her brains for possibilities on what he could be wanting to talk about. Of course, there is the obvious, but she doesn't want to assume something and have the opposite be what's actually going on here.

She knocks on the door jam before entering, waving lightly.

"Hey! Dad's following behind. He was showering off after his training."

[renegadeprince]

To which Vegeta won't be too far away, not after she had shouted at him to hurry up before leaving ahead of him. At least with her gone he didn't have to put up with her constant prattling on about what this meeting could be about. Not that Vegeta isn't curious himself, just that he doesn't see the point in jumping to conclusions until they had information.

So it's a couple of minutes after Bulma's arrival that Vegeta joins them, having changed into more causal clothing than his armor, and greeting his son. "Trunks."

[light_of_willpower]

Trunks gave them both a smile, and was glad to see his parents. It...was still odd sometimes, but it was a very good odd, to have both of his parents here. Even if they were from a different timeline, which didn't seem to make that much difference.

"I appreciate you both taking the time." Reaching up and rubbing the back of his neck awkwardly. How did he start this? Did he want to wait for Devero?

[subcircuits]

He wouldn't have to. It's only about a minute after Vegeta arrives that there's another knock on the door, and Devero sticks his head through. "Not too late, am I?"

“I’m your mother, Trunks. What else am I going to spend time on other than you?” Bulla isn’t on the train, and her first child, otherwise known as Vegeta, is mostly behaving. Speaking of, Vegeta is greeted by his wife with a little smile as she pats the seat next to her, inviting him.

As if Vegeta would sit anywhere else, but oh well.

Devero’s appearance gains a wave, Bulma of course smiling as she does so.

“Well, we haven’t even started so I think you’re safe.”

[renegadeprince]

Slipping into that side of the seating after her, Vegeta crossed his arms over his chest, a brow raised at the inclusion of Devero as well, and the fact that Trunks hadn't mentioned why he wanted to meet with them. Just what could be happening for him to want the three of them here?

"What's going on?" It's in a neutral tone, curious for more information on their little meet up.

[light_of_willpower]

Trunks reached up and brushed his fingers through his hair in slight nerves. "Mostly I just...wanted your thoughts. On this train, and our situation." Which both was relevant, but not what he really wanted to ask. "So...I bought some rings. For Cassie and myself."

[subcircuits]

He salutes Bulma jauntily, just two fingers flicked away from his forehead, and nods to Vegeta as he flops down on the opposite bench.

As soon as Trunks mentions rings, Devero's eyes light up. He gasps, hands flying up to cover his mouth. "No! You did?!"

[ballseeker]

Bulma … well. She has her own thoughts as to what Trunks could be telling them. She is herself, after all - her mind immediately goes places it maybe shouldn’t. Or at least to things far more dramatic than her family may actually participate in.

Her legs cross, one over the other, leaning toward Vegeta, as Trunks begins.

… Of course, it’s much less than she expected.

Bulma’s reaction is maybe not what Trunks would expect, a hand landing on Vegeta’s strong thigh as she turns to look at him. She tries to hold it together, she really does -

But eventually she’s giggling, facing her husband, brows raised.

“Well, proved me wrong.”

[renegadeprince]

Devero got a nod in return as they waited for Trunks to speak, his curiosity rising at both the nerves Trunks was showing and how he started. It takes a moment to translate what 'I bought some rings' meant, but quickly putting it together from Devero's reaction.

Then Bulma's. Vegeta glancing to her with a raised brow, a silent moment between them before the corner of his mouth turned up a little in a smirk, then trying to still it again. Her laugh didn't help that though, Vegeta letting out his own huff of a laugh as a quick exhale from between his teeth. "Do we ask?" His voice low, meant for just her, but also not fully trying to hide it from the other two.

[light_of_willpower]

"Ask what?" Trunks of course heard it, and blinked in surprise. "Wait, what did you two think I asked you all here for?"
