Whis' eyes narrowed even more at the response, confirming his suspicion and setting the doll down on the table.
"Whatever is behind this strange voice appears to be connected with this doll."
Vegetto grunted in annoyance, raising his right arm.
"Then let's get rid of it. One less gateway for another abomination to mess with me here."
He recoiled rapidly, Kassava's slap on his wrist prompting a small yelp from the dual voiced fusion as he turned his head to her. Kassava kept a small scowl, pulling her own hand back.
"Can you just calm down for once? What the hell is wrong with you?"
Vegetto narrowed his eyes, meeting Kassava's as she shook her head.
"Why would you blow up the only clue we have about whatever this...thing is?"
Her head lifted, both watching as Cuki made her way into the kitchen with wide eyes. They prepared for any reaction from her, but after she left in completely ignoring them, Kassava pulled Vegetto up by the arm once the call for dinner was made.
==============================
Kassava and Vegetto entered the kitchen first, finding their own seats and filling their plates. They both continued to dodge looking at Cuki, more in Kassava focusing on eating while Vegetto glanced away with a small scowl. Whis entered in after the two, peering at the ribs with a wide eyed expression. His smile returning, fawning over the scent with a happy grin.
"Oh my...this dish smells absolutely wonderful!"
He raised a brow, however, picking up a small rack in a fork after repeatedly failing to pierce the bone inside three times, before finding a small portion of meat to dig the metal in.
"Curious...why are the bones still inside? Surely you don't eat them with the meat as well?"
Vegetto only sat at the table, his scowl to the side on the floor while Kassava kept her eyes lightly shut, smiling as she chewed her food with a closed mouth. Her elbow shot out, poking Vegetto in the side suddenly, prompting the fusion to lift his head and glance at her. He paused, knowing what her jab meant, and let out a heavy sigh, his narrowed eyes turning up to Cuki.
"Cuki...please. I want to apologize for earlier...and I didn't say those things you heard. I wanted to say I'm sorry for my behavior on my own, not because Kass was making me."
