Description Piccolo watches Goten trundle past him, catch of the day clenched tightly in one fist. For a moment time flashes by in reverse and the aging namek is much younger, watching a very similar face smile up at him.

"Piccolo-san! Piccolo-san, look what I caught!" The boy laughs, waving the dead creature about before him. Piccolo grunts and frowns away the itch of a smile on his lips. "Enough; eat your fill kid. Training resumes in ten whether you're through or not."

The namek closes his eyes to bring himself back to the present before the memory leads to...other things that threaten to overwhelm him. He slides into a sitting position. "Goten," he says,"come here for a minute." The spikey-haired child alters course immediately, dragging the giant fish behind him. "What is it Piccolo-san?" He blinks, eager to hear what his normally silent sensei has to say. Piccolo steadies himself for a moment. Time was running out and it was time the kid knew what had really happened to his brother, to his family; to everyone.

Meeeh, just scribbling around in Paint Tool Sai, can't sleep. Writing myself a bedtime story to see if it helps.

...I love the started fic here - it's a beautiful beginning, and I like your style, too.

Oh, and the art - it's wonderfully book-illustration-y, and I for sure can't complain about your shading. Nicely done.

Very entertaining story, and I love the style you used for the picture. It gives it such an ancient feel. Even when aging, Piccolo is so handsome!

Thanks! He'll be good-lookin' 'til he dies if I have anything to say about it. x) Piccolo and ugly just don't go together, nopenope.

...... o_o Holy hell. Is there more to this, because I wants it. I wants it a lot. What the hell happened? Give us fic?

Hmn, crit-wise.... there's some awkwardness in planar changes (Pic's face seeming to be on a diffrent angle than his head), and Goten't body might be a little long but otherwise it looks like a fine rough sketch.

Heh, actually no--the story spawned itself last night when I was tiredly grasping for something to put in the description so I could go to sleep. It just seemed to fit, but other than what's written right there I have no other scenarios in mind, sorry. I'm surprised someone likes the story though, that was unexpected. :0 Maybe if I let it simmer in my skull for a while something else will come up, but I very much doubt the fic possibility--I haven't written one of those in ages.

I see what you mean about awkwardness though, augh. >_o I knew I should've waited until morning to upload it. Things always look different after you've slept and been away from them. And Goten's body is really long, wow. Maybe I can at least fix that. Thanks Velasa!
