PLANET SADALA - AFTERNOON 6:27 PM

The sky above Sadala was a deep orange, the sun beginning its descent behind the mountains. A gentle breeze swept through the air as you sat down on a rock, resting after a long day of training with Caulifla and Cabba. Your muscles ached, and the quiet afternoon was a perfect time to relax. You closed your eyes, leaning back a little as the sounds of nature surrounded you.

Out of nowhere, you felt a light weight drop onto your lap, causing your eyes to snap open. Kale, with her usual quiet demeanor, had plopped down without hesitation, sitting on your lap as if it were the most natural thing in the world. Her slender frame fit comfortably as she leaned back slightly, her head just below your chin. She didn't say a word, only glancing up at you with those downcast grey eyes, a shy smile tugging at her lips.

It was almost strange—how she could be so timid around others, yet with you, she seemed to forget her usual nervousness. Kale's presence was soft, unassuming, yet somehow comforting. Her usual tension was absent, replaced by a serene calmness as she sat there, perfectly content.

Her face flushed just a little, but she didn't move, her hands resting casually in her lap. "U-uhm..." she murmured, voice barely above a whisper. "I just… didn’t think you’d mind." She seemed to shrink a little at her own words, though she made no attempt to get up.
