Kosho dashed around, jabbing, thrusting, dodging and weaving around the snowy wasteland. There were a few of Renko's techniques that Kosho remembered from the time they fought together against, what had seemed like, some Earth mafia. Other than that, unfortunately there wasn't much to go off of. However, that was completely fine by Kosho. Renko would fire a Ki blast, and Kosho would respond with his own or dodge. Everything was purely in his imagination, with Kosho trying to prepare for every possible scenario in order to corner and defeat his opponent. At times, he'd scowl at his movements.
Tch! Too slow. 
Other times, he'd execute maneuvers and techniques exactly how he wanted to. Kosho's battle cries sounded off in the area around him, as snow kicked up all around. To him, everything seemed normal. Of course, to others who may or may not be around him, watching him, it could look very, very weird.

Kosho wasn't one to care too much about appearances. Appearances as in his clothing; physical appearance. However, a certain detective did tell him before he should consider getting Earth clothes. It was probably a worthy investment. The way he looked physically right now, throwing around snow as he kicked the air in front of him, slamming the ground with his fists and Ki, was of no importance to him. What mattered was that this was his training and he wanted to make progress. However, his training would come to an abrupt end very soon. From the corner of his eye, Kosho saw movement close by to him. He also heard a voice coming from that direction. Mid-punch to an imaginary Renko, Kosho halted himself and looked over to the individual.

Admittedly, Kosho looked a bit too high for the individual in question. Looking down further, he noticed a short looking human female. The woman seemed to figure out that Kosho was a Saiyan, which probably wasn't too hard considering Kosho's tail. The Saiyan, however, couldn't come up with a response. He didn't know exactly what she was.
"And you're a...very small Earthling? I'm sorry, I've never seen an Earthling like you before. Are you a human?"
Very briefly, Kosho redirected his attention to the imaginary Renko. He might as well suspend his training for now and continue it later. He had something else to attend to currently.
"Sorry, Renko. I'll have to fight you again later."
The imaginary Renko waved goodbye to Kosho with a smile and just disappeared. The Saiyan turned back to the small human and crouched down to meet her eyes. He could feel Ki coming from her. In fact, her power level wasn't something to laugh at. Kosho was impressed.

Continuing the conversation, Kosho asked a follow-up question and introduced himself. He cleared his throat and gave his best smile to the woman.
"Er, I'm Kosho. I'm a Saiyan from Patch, and I'm a part of the Patch military."
Looking her up and down once more, Kosho tried to determine her age just based on her appearance. However, he just couldn't really guess it. In the end, he asked his follow up question, anyway.
"So, how old are you? And whatcha doing here?"

When Kosho finally finished speaking, he realized the look of confusion on the woman's face. True, it must've been very weird seeing someone talking to thin air and mentioning a random name to someone. Maybe the name just sounded like a random word? Last time he checked, he couldn't find any Earthlings named with traditional Saiyan names. Nevertheless, it was something that made him look pretty weird. He may not exactly care about appearance too much, but he didn't want this woman to think he was weird.
Ah...I'm gonna have to clear that one up. 

Before Kosho had a chance to really clear up any misunderstandings occurring from this interaction, the small woman went straight to taking the initiative with questions and answers. First thing was first, this small lady was not an Earthling. She was something called a "Fae." Even though Kosho was in the Saiyan military and was also not from Earth, he was surprised to have not heard of her species. Then again, there are millions of galaxies and worlds in space, so it's no wonder he hasn't met all of them, or at least knew of them. Something else she mentioned that was also definitely perfectly normal was that she was 58 years old and this was the standard height for her kind. Hearing that made the Saiyan pause, eyes wide open and a confused smile on his face.
Eh...did she say she's 58? 
Kosho let himself get another good look at her before thinking anything else.
...Well, I can't judge or say I'm surprised. Namekians age very differently, as well. I heard their young could look like they're supposed to be in their mid-30s. 

Kosho wouldn't make a comment about that at all. Instead he nodded his head and grunted in confirmation. He didn't really know what to say, and he didn't want to risk sounding ignorant or hurtful at that point in time. Immediately afterwards, the Fae was asking rapid fire questions about Patch and what she just witnessed. It became so much, Kosho threw up his hands and put them together in a letter T pose.
"Woah, wait! Timeout! I can only remember so many questions when you ask them like that."
Besides, what was "hemorrhagic anti-coapp culent" or whatever that was? Hearing all of that spat out so suddenly and with such precision made the Saiyan very confused.
WHAT THE HELL KINDA LANGUAGE WAS SHE SPEAKING JUST NOW!? MY BRAIN FEELS LIKE I'M TRYNA SOLVE A MATH PROBLEM! 
After dropping one of his arms, Kosho raised the other one to the back of his head and scratched it, answering the Fae's first question.
"I was doing some training just now, and I was imagining my opponent in front of me. I'm sorry if I weirded you out right there."
Following his explanation, Kosho dropped his other arm and pondered on Patch again. It'd been a while since he was back on his home planet.

"Ah, Patch, huh? It's been a while since I've been there. It's in a relatively peaceful state, right now. A lotta wastelands, and mountains, deserts, too. We also have some major cities, especially surrounding the main capital. It's a relatively nice place."
Kosho placed his hands over his knees and looked down at the snow below him for a bit, recalling the events that led up to him arriving to Earth.
"The reason why I'm here and not on Patch is 'cuz I'm here for military reasons. Earth called us up and asked if we could lend them some Saiyan power, and that's what we did. I recently got here about a month ago, I think?"
It seemed like the right amount of time. In all reality, he'd lost track of time and how long he'd spent here. He should get on top of that. Kosho then redirected his attention to the Fae, and asked another question.
"So, what's your name, anyway?"

The towering Saiyan found the struggles the Fae had to remember what was asked amusing, to say the least. He smirked with his arms crossed, still crouched in front of her and meeting her at eye level as best as possible. However, his smirk didn't last too long, as Kosho had no idea what words like "ultraviolet" or "infrared" meant, and he didn't understand the context of her saying "rings," either.
Is she talking about jewelry? Like, the stuff you wear on your fingers? Wait, probably not, a lotta people here on Earth have rings. Just what the hell is she talking about? 
A few things were for certain, though. This Fae, now introducing herself as Vaelaria (or Vae for short), arrived here close to the same time Kosho had arrived. Interestingly enough, Kosho hadn't met her before today. While it is still a relatively big world, it's still surprising that someone with her Ki wasn't found by Kosho sooner.

That's when it hit him again. After she introduced herself and stuck out her hand, Kosho focused in some more on her energy levels. She wasn't incredibly strong, but she could definitely hold her own in a fight against someone if need be. In fact, she seemed to be around the same level as Kosho was when he first arrived on Earth. At this point, he'd come a long way since then and had seen a few of his fair share of battles here on Earth. Nothing too dangerous, but still very heated. Kosho smiled back to Vaelaria and took her hand to shake it.
"It's nice to meet you, too, Vae!"

After getting the introductions out of the way, Kosho began with taking in everything Vae had to say.
"I'll be honest with you, I'm not sure I follow on everything you said about the studying and all. I can tell you're really into that, but I'm also not sure what words like 'ulta-biolet' mean, so I'm sorry for that."
The Saiyan scratched the back of his head in embarrassment. It's true that he wasn't the sharpest crayon in the tool box as a child, and he most likely never will be. That still pertains to him, even now. The things Kosho knows the most about is military affairs, fighting, and survivability. Although, he wouldn't say he'd know as much as his friend Atsuko does.
"I'm also guessing that the Faes have a different way of telling time than Saiyans and Earthlings do. I'll have to ask you to teach me more about that, if you don't mind of course."

Kosho stood up again, towering over Vae. He looked down at her with an excited grin, despite being completely oblivious about everything she just said. There was something he was itching to get off of his chest.
"Say, your Ki is actually pretty solid. Your energy's telling me you could hold your own in a fight if you needed to. If you don't mind, you wanna go a few rounds with me?"
Kosho hopped around on one leg while he asked this question, getting himself loose in this relatively colder winter environment. The meathead that Kosho is mainly thinks about fighting and doing activities that gets his blood pumping. He also thought this could be a good way to get to know what Faes are like, and to know a little more about Vae herself.

Kosho felt the surprisingly calloused areas of Vae's fingertips. It's true her grip was pretty strong, but what he noticed the most was her callouses. It speaks even more to how much she loves what she does. The Saiyan would never be able to wrap his head around the beauty of science, but that didn't really bother him. He instead worried mainly about the beauty of fighting and adrenaline-pumping activities. This only made Kosho wonder, though, exactly how she was able to get this strong. Maybe she was born with such power? Maybe she did some discreet training, and stopped after a while? Either way, it was nothing less than impressive.

At first, Kosho was a little excited to hear Vae explaining everything to him. However, he quickly learned to regret his decision. This was getting out of hand and scaring him slightly. Vae immediately started going off on a scientific tangent, one which Kosho was only able to get certain words out of. Those words were only the simplest words, or words like "counterpart" or "orbiting" that he already understood. If you looked close enough, you could see smoke coming out of the top of his head from trying to comprehend everything that was being said. Getting to the part about the orbit didn't help Kosho at all, either. His face was blank as he just stared at Vae, his brain working overtime to try and make sense of the situation.
Ultraviolet...spectrum...cosine...Rubidium...what...hell...? Help... 

When Vae finally finished her explanations, Kosho's mind stopped trying to make sense of it. It was definitely a mind-full to try and comprehend all of it. He felt honored that she even wanted to try and explain all of that to him, but it's unfortunate he could never really understand any of that. Maybe if he went to an Earth school, he'd have better luck? After Kosho mentioned Ki, Vae fired off a series of questions, of which the Saiyan was only able to understand one of them.
Finally, something I can explain and understand! 
It was now Kosho's time to shine.
"Ki isn't something complicated like that. It's energy, and it's found in all living things. You actually have a pretty strong Ki, especially for someone who hasn't trained it. At least, that's what I'm guessing, since you're not sure what it is."

Kosho squatted down a bit and took in a deep breath. Immediately, he made his Ki surge around him. A yellow aura engulfed his body, shining off the snow and his surroundings.
"This is Ki, or at least my Ki. It may look the same as some others', but it's different for everyone. With your Ki, you're able to do a lotta different awesome things, like fire off super powerful attacks, or even fly."
Kosho paused for a moment, looking towards Vae. He had to try and find a way to explain this to her and help her harness her Ki. For now, there was one thing on his mind he could try.
"All right. Why don't you try and feel for your energy inside you? Like, some sorta hot sensation deep inside? See if that helps you manifest your Ki at all."
If that didn't work, Kosho wouldn't be discouraged or surprised. It could take a little bit to get Vae to harness her Ki, but it wasn't impossible. He knew that for sure.

Right off the bat, Vae used another term Kosho wasn't familiar with. However, he wasn't really confused about it, nor did he mind at all. It seemed they were both on the same track, not entirely the same page. It was definite progress. Vae already had a way to harness her Ki, but her Ki was a little strange. Kosho hadn't seen anything like this before. He could chalk it up to maybe it being a trait of the Fae to have such different Ki than others, but it felt like there was something else to it other than that; something a lot deeper.

Immediately, Kosho crouched back down and took a closer look at Vae's interesting Ki. It seemed like it was encasing something else inside of it; like it was half Ki and half something else. Or, perhaps it was majority Ki and a little bit of something else, or majority something else and a little bit of Ki? Point was, she wasn't harnessing her Ki like how Kosho was. The Saiyan was more than intrigued by this. He almost felt jealous of Vae for having such a unique Ki. He tried to make a little sense of what Vae described to him about "Fae magic."
So, because she's got a natural connection to "transporting," her Ki looks like this? Is this actually entirely Ki? Maybe that stuff inside it really is magic, like she's referring to? Or, maybe it has to do with the Fae in general? When it comes to us Saiyans, our connection to Ki could just be that different compared to the connection the Fae has. 

After thinking about her Ki for a bit, Kosho then regarded Vae's next question.
"I have no idea what 'frequencies' means, but I think I know what you're tryna say anyway! And the simple answer to that is, I have no clue."
Kosho sat himself down on the snow, now, letting his Ki disperse as he studied Vae's some more. For once in a long time, the Saiyan became studious and pensive, putting a hand on his chin to assist in his brainstorming. It was finally something he could talk and debate about, something he knew fairly well.
"The first thing I thought of was that you could be harnessing magic and Ki at the same time. I can't say it's impossible, since it really does look like your Ki is trapping something else inside of it. But...I dunno. I'm thinking something else now."
Kosho extended one of his hands, holding a ball of Ki inside of it. He then compared his ball of Ki to Vae's, getting a side-by-side look at both of them.

"You're right, it does look like mine is a lot of just Ki. Yours looks like Ki, and something else. Right now, I'm thinking that the Fae have a different connection to Ki than Saiyans do, and so you guys harness it differently than we do. I can't say the connection Saiyans have with it is unnatural, but maybe it's 'cuz we're a warrior race. If the Fae aren't exactly a warrior race or train in martial arts and fighting, then there's no wonder why both of our Ki's are different. Maybe there are things you can do with your Ki that I can't do with mine."
Kosho stood back up again, dispersing his Ki ball once more. An idea popped into his head once he took to his feet. He then took a few steps back and held his left hand out in front of him, his palm facing Vae. Of course, he wouldn't just do this without an explanation.
"Maybe we'll understand it better if you try to utilize it first. Try and see if you can shoot a ball of your Ki, or Life Mana, right at me. Try and do it as if it's an attack."
Kosho clenched his other hand and smirked, determination and excitement in his eyes. He knew it was a strange request, but he was more than prepared to reassure Vae about it.
"Don't worry about hurting me, I can take it no problem. If you can't do it after all, we can try something else."
