After a few minutes, she and Kakarot slowed to a stop, catching their breath. Then resumed again to finish off everything else on the table that wasn't already devoured.
The elderly human watched in surprise by just how much and how fast they ate. He looked slightly put off by their lack of table manners. But they were too hungry to care.
Soon, baby Kakarot stopped for the last time and fell asleep in Gine's lap while she finished off some soup and chugged a glass of water in the same gulp. Everything on the table that could have been eaten was gone. The human did manage to sneak a bite of some white spheres and fish before they disappeared, but he looked glad somehow, like he was atisfied that she and her baby had their fill.
Gine sat there for a long moment, savoring the lingering taste of everything she ate, and the fullness of her belly. There was nothing on Planet Vegeta that could remotely compare to the sweet and filling pieces of joy she just ate. Bar none.
"That was the best food I've ever tasted!" Gine thought aloud, her smile lighting up her face.
The old man chuckled, "Heheh, well, I'm very pleased you enjoyed it." He said warmly, "It's not often I have a guest to give me a second opinion on my cooking."
Gine looked down at Kakarot sound asleep in her lap, looking as satisfied as she was from such a hearty meal.
She ruffled his hair and looked up to the old man.
"Thank you so much." She said, meaning every word.
He beamed back at her. "You are most welcome, my dear! You clearly needed it more than I did."
The old man gathered the plates and went to set them in a wash basin as he spoke over his shoulder.
"Now, if you don't mind me asking... what's a young woman like yourself doing wandering out in the woods with a baby?"
Gine clung Kakarot to her a little tighter at the old man's question. She wasn't sure if she could trust this human, remembering how he easily tossed her around earlier. But he did invite her into his home, even after their hostile encounter. He even let her eat his dinner without question so far. So, she reasoned that he might not have intentions of harming them.
She relaxed a little and stared into the wooden spirals of the table as she answered. "Well... It's a long story, and... you probably won't believe me if I tell you."
The elderly human came back to the table, holding two empty cups and a steaming kettle in his hands.
"I'll be the judge of that. Although..." He poured hot tea into the cups as he spoke. "Would your story have anything to do with that strange metal sphere that fell from the sky? Where we had our little scuffle?"
He offered Gine one of the cups. She gratefully accepted it and took a slow sip. The tea was very hot, but that mattered little to her Saiyan tongue. Plus, it tasted simply exquisite. She took more gulps of it. The warmth it gave her in her belly was already helping calm her nerves.
She finished her cup and sighed in delight as she answered, "As a matter of fact, it does."
"Is that so?" The old man's eyebrows rose in surprise as he sat down across the table from her.
Gine nodded.
"Well then, I guess you have quite a tale to tell." He remarked. "Why don't you start with who you are."
The old man realized something and gently slapped himself in the head. "Oh, pardon me! Where are my manners? We haven't even introduced!"
He extended an open hand to her. "My name is Gohan. Son Gohan."
She looked at his outstretched hand and took it in her own. She guessed handshakes truly were a universal greeting.
"Hello, Gohan. I'm Gine."
"A lovely name... Nice to meet you, Gine." Said Gohan. His gentle smile under that bushy mustache somehow made her feel safe in his presence.
Gohan then pointed towards Kakarot in her lap, who was now starting to stir awake again. "And who is this little one?"
Gine ruffled Kakarot's hair. "This is my son, Kakarot."
Gohan smiled at the boy when he looked at him, "Hello, little Kakarot."
Kakarot giggled back at him.
"I think he likes you." Gine said with a smile. Kakarot always cried around strangers, afraid of everyone except his mother. But if her little boy felt safe enough with this old man, then she was too.
"Seems like he does." Gohan answered back with a smile, then focused on her again.
"Well then, Gine, how about you tell me where you two came from."
Gine took a deep breath and exhaled.
"Well, you see..."
Over the course of the evening, she carefully explained to Gohan everything. That the metal sphere he saw was her spaceship, that she and her son were from another planet named Vegeta. That they were part of a warrior race called Saiyans who worked for the galactic emperor Frieza, who had them conquer planets in his name. She explained the Saiyans' ability to change into Great Apes when they looked at the full moon, how Saiyan babies were used to purge all life on whatever planet they landed on, and the different classes of Saiyan warriors. Then she recounted how one day Frieza inexplicably turned against the Saiyans and destroyed their planet, her and Kakarot's escape to this planet with the help of Kakarot's father, and how she and her youngest son may be the only survivors. It was really difficult for her to tell Gohan about Bardock and Raditz without choking up, but she did her best.
Gohan just sat there and listened, looking more mesmerized as the tale went on. By the time she was finished, his tea had gotten cold.
"You're from... outer space?" Was all he could say, his voice quiet and filled with awe.
Gine nodded, "Yes."
Gohan sat there in utter amazement. He looked at her like he had never truly saw her before. He probably never imagined that literal aliens would show up on his doorstep today, Gine thought dryly.
"Well... I guess that explains the strange outfits you're wearing. And the..." He gingerly pointed towards her and Kakarot's furry appendages "...tails."
Gine let her tail flap around a bit so he could see, then wrapped it again around her waist.
"But you are not here to conquer our planet, are you?" Gohan asked pensively. As much as the idea of beings from other worlds fascinated him, the idea that they were also extremely powerful and quite genocidal horrified him.
Gine looked at him and shook her head vehemently. "Absolutely not. We just came here to escape from Frieza." She looked down and stroked Kakarot's hair. "I have no interest in purging planets. I'm...I'm not like other Saiyans."
