Being Namekian, Piccolo knew nothing of human courting tactics. Courting wasn’t something that his species needed at all, being asexual organisms. So, why was he suddenly so invested in human customs? Why did he ask Bulma so many questions of how to earn the favor of a human? Piccolo was never self-conscious—he knew he was not one to look down upon, so why did the thought of such an advance make him feel unworthy? Was he too different for you? Your biology was starkly different—would that be a deal breaker? He stood alone in the corner during one of Bulma’s lavish parties, watching you engage with the other fighters openly—why did you affect him this deeply? He meandered over, looming intimidatingly (though unintentional) as he watched you. Easily mistaken for being upset, he was just trying to spend time in your vicinity. Now was a better time than ever to use what Bulma taught him—how to court a human.
