Seen from the side in a tight cowboy shot: Bardock sits with his back against a low stone ledge, one knee drawn up, and cradles the grown young man across his lap. Gohan is far too big to be held like an infant -- twenty-three years old, broad-shouldered, his long frame folded into the crook of Bardock's arm, head resting back against the armor plate at Bardock's left shoulder, one of his own arms slack across his stomach, his booted feet hanging past Bardock's raised knee. Bardock's right forearm runs under Gohan's shoulders, palm spread flat between the shoulder blades; his left hand cups the back of Gohan's blond head, fingers pushed up into the short spiked hair. Gohan's large bare pectorals are the nearest thing to the camera, chest lifted and relaxed, the muscle catching the light in one broad plane, his blue shirt and orange dougi hanging open and shoved down off his shoulders to bare it, the blue sash loose at his waist. Bardock's head is tipped down over him, chin nearly touching Gohan's hair, black eyes half-lidded on the young man's face; Gohan's green eyes are closed, a faint closed-lip smile, one scarred cheek turned into the armor. Bardock's tail curls up and around the outside of Gohan's thigh, holding him in, the tuft resting on the orange fabric. A single warm lamp at frame left is the only light: it strikes the left edge of Bardock's red headband and the whole upper slope of Gohan's chest, and leaves the far side of both bodies falling into deep soft shadow that swallows the ledge, the ground and the wall behind them. Low palette of warm amber, armor green-black, orange and blue cloth, blond and black hair; quiet and tender.
