She'd take the fabric and dab her eyes. Making sure not to smudge her already ruined eye makeup too much. Oh! How embarrassing.
At this point she was more upset at herself than at him. She had long accepted this was how Goku was. He could be impulsive and do things for the now--
I can assure ya that our Goku-sa cares for us even though he can be ignorant...I've had him make multiple confusions 'bout how we're the reason he fights."
Goku was the only man either of them could love. They had accepted all of him, faults and all just as he did with her own faults. She loved him no matter what but when those faults were starting to consume his time away from her and their family then. . .
was it truly worth it?
Why? To protect the Earth of course!
But she felt more vulnerable and naked without him around her.
"I-I'm sorry?" She sniffles, wiping her eyes. Gosh, her makeup was running?
"I'm tired of bein' the shrew. I'm fun too! I'm. . .I'm a fighter too."
But what happens when the fight becomes too much. How strong could the bull be when it's horns start to dull? When will she get her happily ever after?
Was a humble, peaceful life not enough for him?
No one understood, and those who thought they did only made it worse, trying to sympathize or aid her with her hurt.
"It'll all work out."
She murmurs, rubbing the twin's back.
"We just have 'ta be blunt with him and ignore what those awful other people say."
She wished she was stronger. Maybe if she could be strong, he'd notice her again. She just didn't know what to do anymore.
Soon Goten would leave the nest and she'd still be there. Waiting for Goku after months on end, only to have the news returned he decided not to come home.
Ten mouths? That's a bit generous given who her family was.
"Enough to be leftovers for a few days, most likely." She'd mutter, putting her hands on her hips.
"There's tons of animals in the mountains. Lakes with big fish too."
Might as well help the boy out with advice.
❝ Okay! Deal!! I’ll bring you back the biggest boar! Enough to feed er . . .
TEN MOUTHS!! ❞
If she didn’t set him straight, then his own confidence would.
