It's been a few days since he destroyed her television. Which is fine. Whatever. She bought a new, got it installed, fine. She's gotten the hole in her wall fixed too. She even managed to get his precious Gravity Chamber fixed which means she can get him out of her hair for a little bit. Which is good. It gives her time to work on other projects in her labs. She does have a business to run, after all.
The problem is he keeps creeping into her thoughts when she doesn't want him to. How weirdly jealous he had behaved that night. Sorry. Not jealous, possessive. Whatever the hell that meant. Half the time it seemed like he couldn't even stand her but he thought he had some weird claim over her?
It's not that she's never entertained the idea before but it's a bad idea for a lot of reasons not least of all him having an ego that almost rivaled her own.
She decides it's time for a break, exiting her lab to go outside to smoke a cigarette. He always bitched too much when she smoked in the house. Something about the smell offending his sensitive Saiyan sense of smell.
She taps the cigarette to let some of the ash fall. Really, that was almost reason enough to do it, sometimes.

"You know, I asked you to hold it before because I could work faster that way." A small smirk spreads across her lips as she continues. "Of course, if you want me to take my time getting it fixed I can do that..."
Okay, so maybe she's baiting him a little to try to ease over whatever awkwardness might be lingering in the air. Since they are still stuck in here together.

It's not long until the lights and the electricity in the room flicker back on. That's a first step, at least.

The prince has no idea what he was doing back there, and refuses to label it as anything more than clear intent and indulged curiosity, and it's easier to fall back on insults than it is to leave the floor open to questions he doesn't have answers to.

It's better this way, probably. Better that they snipe and insult one another than indulge,,,whatever had been going on back there. She doesn't have any clue what he means when he says his actions are just possession or intent an she has a feeling neither does he. It makes the whole situation a pretty bad idea.
