[Smiling inwardly, he can see where Cliff was coming from, entrusted now with a world of his own to protect without Kakarot's help- but secretly, he wouldn't want to 'punch the clock' either. He had the blood of a warrior and the battles were too exciting.]

Of course it's not. It leaves enough of a fire to keep yourself from becoming soft in times of peace. And sentimentality will only get you killed in the end. [He'd experienced that again all too recently. Luck had kept him alive and he knew it. Lucky Kakarot hadn't died like Vegeta thought he did. Lucky his friend been there to save his ass one last time, the Prince throwing himself at an all-powerful dragon with only one arm functional and going in on determination and adrenaline alone. One last ditch effort to save everyone instead of getting off the planet.

A really stupid, sentimental decision. A decision he doesn't regret; but one he can't afford anymore.]
