The arch of the Emperor's brow returned after his officer voiced his answer. He named himself.. that's interesting. Many an officer amongst his ranks had changed their names to titles more fitting to their roles, opting to be known by something more fearsome. Still, never a monkey. They're all so damn proud. That made Caine the first. Before one could move along to the question that naturally followed, User put in his two bits.

Typical response. User might as well have simply shrugged and moved on. Silly Saiyajin. They're all the same.

"Peculiar people. So proud, but not enough to choose a name befitting their heritage."

Wesley chuckled lightly at the thought. Actually, to his knowledge User himself killed his self-crowned parents. That changeling garbage Cooler ordered him to, but that altered very little of the story from the Orinian's vantage point. User destroyed his parents, unworthy grunts claiming the throne for their own. Maybe he willingly offed them because of his own stupid birth name.

"I'd have killed them too," the overlord uttered idly to himself under his breath as his lips met his flask again.

The Saiyajin boy's voice overpowered his own as the demon spoke, User answering the General's response with another inquiry. Caine's real name. This would be interesting. In spite of his ability to dig deeply enough to find it himself, Taliman found tidbits like this far more intriguing when heard, not stolen.

User ignored the obvious remark at his family. He ignored Taliman, completely. This was, plain and simply, too good to pass up. The Saiya-jin's face contorted into a smile.

"Pea?" He said, barely able to contain his laughter. This was the single greatest thing he had ever heard. It would only be slightly more amusing if that had been KenoTao's name - no wait, forgot that. That would only spoil it. By the Kaios in Heaven, Caine's name was PEA?!

"PEA?!" User said, much more laughter and obviously unable to contain how funny he truly found this. He was not just chuckling anymore. It was a full on roaring laughter now.

He tried to take but he couldn't between his laughter and attempts to breath.

"Oh gods, his name is Pea.... that's... HAHAHAHA!"

[I don't have to tell you everything, you know.]

The Saiya-jin knew that User would find this amusing most of all, thus his reasoning behind not wanting to answer the question. But it was out now, and too late to take it back. Caine blatently ignored User's uproarus amusment at his expense, and finished off what was left of the whiskey in his glass. These glasses were too small anyways. Should have asked for the whole bottle.

He hadn't missed the Emperor's reaction though, buried as it was under User's. At least he was not nearly as obnoxious at the Prince wannabe. yet another obvious sign of the difference between the two 'royals'.

"I didn't hesitate to."

He looked back down to the empty glass in his gloved hand. He definitely wished he had more whiskey now, to try and drown out User. Finally, after sitting in silence for the most part, Caine could stand no more. He still had pride, afterall.

In an instant he was standing, the bar stool he had been sitting upon flying backwards to land on the floor sideways behind him. The empty glass in his right hand shattered violently from his powerful grasp, only a few tiny shards flying off from the force of it. He pounded his right fist on the bartop, his left hand held below the edge slightly, fingers curled inwards but not in a fist. One could feel him restraining his ki, though it still rose up.

His gold and blue eyes glared out violently from under his black bandana, a noise somewhat like a growl emerging from his throat towards the Princeling. If it wasn't for the bar between them, Caine would have taken User by the throat and thown him up against the wall.

The General was about to raise some cain, and it took all his willpower not to clear the bar in a single leap.

User's laughter died instantly the second Caine's ki suddenly spiked, sending the bar stool to the ground, and the glass shattering to pieces. Within the same moment, the Saiya-jin Prince sent himself into defensive mode.

And despite being on the defense of Caine's fury, it didn't mean he wasn't going to provoke and taunt him, "What's the matter, Pea? Feeling small like the little food you're named after?" He chuckled under his breath. If he didn't hate Caine so much, he would almost feel bad for him for being graced with such a name. But he really hated Caine. The dumb b*****d would follow anyone for the right money... there was no honor in that.

(( OH s**t, RPING. ::jumps up and down::
ICHI WANTS TO RP!! ><;;

TAMAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.

OOOOORAAAAAAH. domokun ))

One could see the red glow that was forming in Caine's left hand beneath the edge of the bar, just waiting to be released and allowed to fully form into his signature blood colored blade of ki. The only thing that held him back from taking User's head, as he had taken the heads of his own parents, was the presence of the Emperor.

His left ear flicked up slighlty, obviously catching the tone of command in the Orinian's voice. After a moment, his ki subsided back to it's normal controled level, the red glow leaving his hand. Caine opened his right hand, lightly brushing the glass fragments from his glove and leaving them piled on the counter. Some of them had penetrated the fabric slightly, but he ignored it.

His brown tail unraveled from beneath his gray jacket, lowering down and wrapping around the barstool behind him. He placed it upright back where it belonged, before backing away from the bar itself, taking up a place a few feet behind his Emperor and slightly to the right. He still had a full-on clear view of User, but Taliman was between them for the most part, forcing the General to think twice before making any moves towards his enemy. User would have his day, Caine would make sure of it.

Still glaring at User, the Saiya-jin Commander folded his arms behind his back, and stood at a variation of an 'at-ease'.

"As you wish, Sir."
