"Owwah," Goku groused. He bit his tongue with that smack! Nursing his tongue and rubbing the back of his head, he couldn't multi-tasking well enough to keep marching forward and so it didn't take much for Taura to catch up with him.

Hoisted into the air, the monkey boy let out a wheeze as the air was pulled out of him from the sudden lift. He accepted it gracefully, but mainly because he couldn't hold too many ideas in his head at once. There was a new distraction now that he was pulled high and set on Taura's shoulder. It had been a good choice as his friendly exuberance came out once the woman greeted the big beast.

"Hi, I'm Goku!" he repeated, just in case he couldn't figure out which one he was. "Are you really strong?" It should have been an obvious answer, but who knew! Maybe the thing just smelled really bad and had nothing to do with its strength.
