The figure begins to follow them, still completely concealed... then a purple line begins to swirl around them, the blackness completely fading away to reveal a rather young man, who just shrugs a little.

"My name's Exerteal. Who are you two?"

"I'm just Nicole. No fancy names to be found here."

"...Heh. And my name isn't exactly fancy, either."

The man shrugs a little, holding out his hand as if to draw something in the air... and he definitely seems to be sketching something, the lines meeting to form some kind of box.

Which then pops into existence as a black box, landing on Exerteal's palm neatly. He stops for a moment and then shakes his head, clearly not quite intending to pop it open just yet...

"What she said. Sorry if me going all draconic kinda disturbed you or anything."

Nicole glances at the small box that Exerteal had conjured.

"Huh. Do you know what else they've stolen?"

Exerteal hums, before glancing at Nicole for a bit, having noticed her staring at his little black box. He smiles coyly, cupping the object in his palms and idly begins to throw it in the air.

"I've seen dragons before. Cute scaly creatures, if you'll ask me. And I guess you're wondering about this little box?"

He seems as if ready to tell some kind of secret...

"No idea."

She shrugs.

"Actually I don't."

"Yeah, I'm kinda curious, but ya don't need to show me what's in it if you really don't want to."

Nicole gives Neuff a look.

"Yeesh, did someone stamp out your curiosity, Neuffie? The Neuff I know would've been curious about that box, not borderline apathetic."

"I was asking Nicole, though," Exerteal mumbles to Neuff with a rather teasing smile, before facing Nicole and looking thoughtful.

He seems grim now, looking down at the box for a long time, his fingers now clasping the sides as if to open it...

Then he grins mischievously.

"Nah, I'm pulling your leg. It's just a box with some balls inside to make a rattling sound."

He hands the box over to Nicole, smiling a little.

Nicole gives Exerteal an odd look, then accepts the box before studying it.

"You sure it's just that, and not something else entirely?"

She glances at Neuff.

"Please don't tell me you're turning into a stoic hardass like Ain who's all business with no sense of fun."

Studying the box would reveal that it can be opened, and that it has particular engravings on the sides. Opening it would reveal what the man had said: a series of balls.

...Except they look extremely ornate, being made of silver, gold, and decorated intricately with different types of gems and precious rocks.

"Yes, there's nothing else notable about that box. It's not some kind of bomb, you know..."

"You and your assumptions..."

Neuff looks down and approach a hole in the ground.

Nicole opens the box in order to look at the balls within, then closes it before looking back to Exerteal.

"I kinda meant something more along the lines of magic, y'know?"

She turns to look at Neuff, discreetly scanning her at the same time, in case something was up with her.

"The hell's that supposed to mean, Neuffie? And what're you looking at that hole for? It's just a hole."

"Well, no. It doesn't have any kind of fancy magic... hmm?"

Noticing Neuff looking down at a hole, Exerteal follows her, also now glancing at the hole on the ground.

"As I've said: besides the creation process, the box is very mundane."

There's nothing wrong, it's just Nicole being paranoid.

Neuff digs up two small orange balls with stars on them. One has three, the other has one.

"I saw these balls."

"So... the balls in the box are just for decoration or whatever."

Nicole follows Exerteal and Neuff over to the hole, then glances at the latter's discovery.

"What is this, Fancy-Looking Ball Day?"

"Ooh, they look interesting. Can I see? If you're fine with it, maybe I could take one in exchange for a pretty egg."

Exerteal seems quite curious. Then, he looks at Nicole, nodding graciously.

"Yes, they're just for decoration. I do have some eggs with magical effects, however..."

"Well, I dunno. They were guarding those."

The guards are waking up so Neuff walks over to them.

"Hey, Neuff, Exerteal here kinda offered to trade you something for one of those balls."

Nicole turns to look at Exerteal.

"What kind of magical effects?"

"As I've said, can I borrow it, or something?"

Exerteal shrugs, before staring at Neuff, before producing a rather interesting object, flashing Neuff a smile.

"I'll offer you this egg in exchange, if that works."

The egg looks quite intricate, made of precious gems and minerals, and it seems to exude a celestial feel...

Then, he looks at Nicole.

"That varies. Could be magic, could be strength, it could be something specific or abstract..."

"Huh... let me see."

"YOU FOOL !"

Neuff stares at the Frieza soldiers, tied up in lasers.

"You would trade a dragon ball for a pathetic little egg ?"

"I would, coz they're just shiny balls."

"No ! The boss said they're objects of great power !"

"What power ?"

"If you gather all seven... a dragon will appear and will make two wishes !"

Neuff's eyes widen.

"Sounds to me like either your boss is full of crap, you two are insane, or you're making up a farfetched lie to screw with us," Nicole remarks to the captured soldiers before looking at Xirla. "Any chance you could put duct tape over their mouths?"

She turns to Exerteal.

"Interesting. And... I'm guessing you designed all of these eggs yourself."

Her gaze shifts over to Neuff.

"Want me to call Ain so she can haul these two alien idiots in?"

BRB, dinner.

"Wait, you need seven of those fellas to grant a wish? Why not three or fewer?"

A moment of silence. Then Exerteal, for some reason, immediately hides the peculiar shiny egg, now looking at the tied up beings.

"So... you two are collecting these, err, Dragon Balls for what reason?"

He soon focuses on Nicole, before smiling and looking mischievous.

"Well... sort of, yeah. Sort of."
