He ponder over his words, juggling them inside his mind for a bit before realizing Gohan may be onto something vital. It was as the other said; being gone for so long as they have made their whole respective of things change completely; but Trunks also likes to believe that because they were not around humans for so long they learn to realize the importance of how small they were back on Earth. How vast and big the universe was…
Being a time patroller can only provide so much limited freedom before it repeated itself all over again in the same location or the same similar time flux. “You are half right, but the other half of that is also totally voluntary. I like to think we WANTED a change…there is so much we can do; and achieve within our time frame that finally getting out of that loop hole; we may have found or achieve something greater than ourselves.” He looks up at him.
“Time patrol can only get us so far.” he stated. “Don’t you think?”
Gohan moved to sit beside him, mulling over Trunks’ words in his mind. His partner was right about that. “Yeah, I think we needed a change. A change of scenery, routine... Something.” Gohan leaned against the back of the couch, dark eyes turned towards the ceiling. Trunks’ question about the patrol made him stop and think.
For such a job, one could be easily fooled into thinking it was limitless in terms of worlds and possibilities, going through all eras of time and space. In reality, it was much like Trunks thought. “I agree,” he said after a long moment of silence. “We end up repeating ourselves after so long. There are endless worlds out there, but most have the same faces and problems.”
Turning his gaze to his partner, Gohan’s expression was questioning. “So what do you want to do? Or is that just an observation of our circumstances?”
