Vegetto turned his eyes to the side once Cuki moved up closer to him, unfolding his arms and lightly sighing.
"There's nothing we can come up with right now until we know what this Waldo even looks like. Just try to stay loose and rest up as best you can until we have to fight."

Whis bowed his head slightly, turning on his heel and leading Detective Vegeta out of earshot of the others. The taller angel perked his head a bit, glancing back at the group to double check his efforts. Once he was satisfied the two wouldn't be overheard, Whis turned his eyes back down to the detective with a small smile.
"I must say, your new personality is splendid, but we unfortunately don't have time to have a conversation about that."
His eyes turned back to the group, nodding towards Kassava.
"I assume, by now, you've made some deductions about our team members that need a bit of work, specifically the case of Vegetto's troublesome wife."
Whis cleared his throat quickly, covering his mouth with his hand for a moment before continuing.
"I won't lie to you, detective: her power is quite considerable when fully unleashed. Given the proper advantage, she has not only defeated Vegetto's Ultra Instinct, but has given me quite the handful in outmaneuvering her in combat."
He perked his eyebrows, his smiling rising.
"Now of course, I know this is moot with our present company, but as you have undoubtedly noticed, her pride and self-confidence are very unstable based on exterior results. Recent events have clearly demoralized her, and while she deserves such results, I believe a small correction in this downward's spiral must occur to avoid the upcoming disaster. Having Kassava sulk on the sidelines with Demi-Fiend free to attack her does no one any good and further pushes her away from establishing positive connections to these teammates."
Whis raised his free hand, pointer finger extended to the sky.
"You, on the other hand, could learn quite a bit from sitting out this battle with Waldo. The witch made a wonderful decision in recruiting you here: you may be just the piece we need to turn our two most troublesome teammates into valuable allies. However, unless you have the freedom to stand back and observe them outside the heat of battle, you will be at a disadvantage in learning their true strengths and weaknesses."
He dropped his arm, his smile returning.
"That is why I'd like you to challenge Kassava to rock, paper, scissors and then intentionally lose to her. This would be for everyone's benefit."
