One Meatbun -dictated-

[There's some fumbling, and then the journal opens to reveal the voice of a very young boy, trying to sound brave but failing.]

Um... can anyone hear me?

My name's Goku. I fell down and now I can’t find Konzen anywhere. People were tryin' t'catch us and I'm real worried. He’s real tall and gots hair like the sun. He jumped down after me when I fell, an'I don’t want him t'get hurt.

Ken-nii-san and Ten-chan should still be on the stairs, but I can't find those either! Just this thing that I heard sounds from.

I ain't scared or anythin'... but they promised t'stay with me. Really, really promised. If yer a nice person that ain't gonna kill us, can y'help me find them?

Please?

[People around the castle might find a small boy hiding behind the nearest couch, wearing a way too big button-shirt and chains around his wrists and ankles.]

[Lloyd smells like the woods. And sword polish. And food. He likes food.

Anyway, he sits where he is as Goku turns his chains over.]

What the-- that shouldn't even be possible. What kind of chains are these?

[He goes over the alternative options.]

I guess I could try to heat them and break them that way, but that's too risky with the shackles...

[Goku likes the woods! And sword polish! And food. Especially food.]

I dunno, they put them on me when they took me from t'mountain.

[The boy shrugs and looks at the chains.]

They're cold an' get in the way, but I'm used t' it. I don't want ya to burn things.

[Never mind that they weigh 20 kilos/44 lbs each...]

[That's not a big deal when he has superhuman strength and agility too, but he doesn't say that.]

They might be magical or something. I don't think any tool I have could break something like that. Thanks for letting me look, anyway. We'll figure something out.

[He gets up, then offers Goku his hand.]

What's your name?

'Course they're magical. They're made by stupid gods.

[He looks at the hand, a bit unsure. But the man hadn't tried to do anything bad yet...]

M' Goku.

Gods? [At least he's not making a big deal out of it.]

C'mon, I'll help you up unless you don't want lunch. I'm a pretty decent cook.

...I guess I'm kinda hungry.

[He's been running for almost a day, after all.]

[Poor kid. Lloyd is trying to think of a way to break those chains. But first, feed the runaway.]

What's your favorite?

[He brightens up and smiles.]

Meat buns!

Haha, meat buns are awesome! Let's see how many we can eat.

[Good thing they aren't trying to ninja anywhere. Chains are loud, and it bothers him that he can't do anything about it. He'll just have to ask around the castle when they're done.

In the meantime, he's strapping on his swords and heading toward the kitchen.]

Really? I can eat loads and loads and loads!

[Grinning, he hurries after Lloyd in a cacophony of jingling chains and smiles for the first time on a long while.]

[Goku's smile makes Lloyd feel better too. When they hit the kitchen, he goes right for the cupboards, pulling down the flour and whatever else he needs to make the dough. Two big bowls follow, as does a box of parchment paper.]

It'll take a little while to make these. You can find a snack if you want.

That looks real hard!

[He climbs up on the counter to see better, looking quite excited.]

I've never made buns before. Plus in Heaven, they always have vegetables an' tofu an' stuff in 'em.

[He makes a face at that.]

Nah, it's pretty easy. [Lloyd doesn't stop him.] Seems kind of weird to put vegetables in stuff in Heaven.

[...]

Wait. You've actually been to Heaven?

[He actually halts his dough making to stare.]

That's 'cuz nobody's allowed t'kill in Heaven so everything's vegetables.

[He blinks and then nods a little.]

Uh-huh. I was taken there by a stupid man who promised me food. But I met Konzen so it was okay.
