Description

Despite his behind grabbing, perverted ways, I always thought Master Roshi was very wise, and when the time came down to it, he would be very helpful to Goku if he ever needed guidance, such as his changing relationship with Bulma

Drawing Roshi is a pain. I'm "ok" at drawing Goku from memory, but thank Goodness for manga reference's lol. Perhaps I should invest in some summer art classes since school out and I'll actually get better, instead of just saying that I'll do better when I know that I clearly can't :/

I hope it's not confusing, I just wanted to progress the story a little.

There are so many hints about Bulma's feelings for Goku through out DBZ, but you don't have that many of Goku's affection in return, other than the usual devotion to protect his friends.

I think it would be a little harder to show Goku's affection, with out making it seem out of character.

I tried soooo hard to make a believable conversation! I love humor, but there are times where Goku has to be serious. This is how I imagine Roshi would try to talk to Goku about Bulma.

Whether or not it sounds believable "which I pray it does", remember, this is Roshi fully aware of Bulma feelings for Goku, and now he's trying to see if those feelings are returned.

I hope you like it :)
Let me know what you think please.

Again if there's any mistakes, I'll fix them tommorrow because it's late and I'm tired lol

Yeah, that seemed a lot like Roshi. Like the times he's tried to talk Goku out of other things, or determine what's going on with him.  And that seems like Goku too.  Yes, he cared a great deal for Bulma, but for Goku, he cared a great deal about all of his friends. The way Toriyama puts it, Gohan and Chichi are also numbered among his friends.  He thinks of them as being capable of taking care of themselves under normal conditions, just as he does with Krillin and Bulma. He doesn't really know what is different about being a 'dad', or 'husband', and how to do it the 'right' way, so he often comes off as if he doesn't care about those things, but at the same time, he'd go to hell and back to save Bulma, Krillin, Chichi or Gohan.
