     “Of course you did - you know your father is pretty useless when I am not here to guide him.” he laughed when he heard the other gasp and whine, “See what I mean? But I hope he didn’t give you a hard time…? I know you can be more responsible than him.”

   “No, Daddy was good because I made sure he was. He’s good at taking care of me at least, even though he needs help taking care of himself.”

     “Hello to you too - don’t start to tell me you are going to become like your father now and just physically attack me rather than greet me with words.” he was joking of course, the light tone of his voice did not go unnoticed but really - one had to ASK. 

      “Your father is a terrible influence.” 

   *flops into her Papa’s lap*

 “She’s just a kid, Eva. Plus she’s been diagnosed with some stuff that makes socializing hard. It’s really better not to take it too personally.” 

There she goes, wagging her finger like a mom. Blah blah blah, don’t do that, Kappa, blah blah, you might kill someone that way. At least he could understand why she was nagging like this. Just as he could understand why his 6 year old sister acted the way she did. 

 “Whatcha want me to do, Eva? Beat up my kid sister?”  He snorted, reaching around with the hand around her shoulder  in order to pinch Eva’s cheek. 

 “Beeeeeeesides. I don’t let her get away with it. I call her on her shit.” 

    “Big sister and I got into fights and she was way older than I was.” Eva explain, remembering all the spars and sometimes little stupid arguments they DID end up having. But most of all.. Mirai wanted to see how strong Eva was.. after the incident that could had cost her life at such a tender young age - she felt she had to protect her, to make her stronger. That was her logic - “I am just.. worried.” she told him.

    “Worried over you.. and worried how she will behave when she is older but.. she isn’t my sibling, she is yours.. and I guess I am just some silly cousin for worrying over it more than I should.” she move away from her, began to rub her arm as she turn her gaze away from him. “Maybe I am stupid.” she mumbled finally, eyes cast downward. “It’s not like I am really related to anyone - being adopted I guess has its bad things.” she couldn’t relate.

     Doesn’t mean she doesn’t care but she would get annoyed or frustrated with the type of relationship they have? Because Eva ADORES her sister - @timelineshenanigans even if they aren’t blood related, she was someone who was there when she was small so.. Eva cares a lot. She is a lot like Gohan in that regard- siblings are important. 

She will in her own way form bonds this way too. ]

  “Hehe, don’t bother, Eva,”      Kappa tilted his body in her direction, snatching her shoulders with a dramatic  swing of his arm. He gently knocked their heads together in a sign of affection. 

 “That’s just how she is. Cor gets a lot of her ways from Grandpa Vegeta.    Really, she’s practically his clone.” 

  He kept his arm secure around his cousin’s shoulders, leaning most of his bodyweight against her as he hummed. His little sister’s behavior didn’t bother him much. She was an odd pickle. Logically she made sense. Or maybe Kappa just had an overbearing soft spot for her that allowed her to walk all over him.  Maybe he got that from his dad. 

      Eva respond was to frown, how could her cousin be so.. light in this situation? Did he really not care? Or was he just ACTING this way so that she wouldn’t worry about him? Everyone knew the two were particularly together all the time, especially given the fact that.. unlike her older cousin, kappa was the closest to her age..

     “I don’t know about Vegeta, aside a few things I seen him in parties.” she refuse to call him grandfather because she really did not KNOW the man; and while she knew it was rather offensive, she had no feeling for a man she really didn’t dare to know. Nor her other grandfather.. 

      “I never denied your love sweetie, but I am not going to let your father influence your thoughts into thinking of me as the greatest man. I HAVE flaws; just like any other. I just want you to be clear on that.”

"Eva no - please stop letting your father influence your decisions young lady."

—”There’s no need to even question that Eva. You’ve been here a bunch of times.”

—”Go ahead~ All of my pets like being spoiled anyway.”

The two dogs were already eager to be petted as they stretched out their tongue, one being more hype than the Golden Retriever. Meanwhile the cat just rested in Trunks’ arms and maintained her blue orbs on the figure in front of her.

   “Thank you,” Eva replied politely. She always enjoyed her time at her uncles’ house, especially the times she got to spend with her cousins. Spoiling the animals with affection was also something she’d picked up from her daddy, the man being an avid animal lover himself.

   “Nina is so cute,” Eva giggled, running her fingers over the dog’s fur before switching her attention to the other. Their fur was just as soft as Orion’s. “Belle told me she had a pet otter. Maybe she’ll come home soon so we can play.”

     Trunks had to smile, leave it to his daughter to make a comment like that without so much of a single ounce of remorse. Guess his influence affected her more ways than one! “Sure, but please be ensure not to talk to your father that way- you know how sensitive he is. While he isn’t exactly the brightest cooker.. he tries for us.” he reach to run his fingers over her hair.

        “Don’t be me - I am already harsh to begin with!” he proceeds to laugh.

   Eva beamed under the attention, trying at the same time to peek at the food on the counter. “Daddy laughs about it sometimes. He told me about the first time he ever tried to cook for you once and how he nearly burned down the kitchen.” Eva couldn’t help but giggle.

   “Your animals are so cute! Can I pet them?” 

   “Papa, what are you making for dinner? Can I help? I’m sure I’d be more help than Daddy.”
