Sure, Takeshi knew that Viral was busy, but so was everyone else. Every one of them had a lot on their plates right now with all this business about war and whatnot, Viral wasn't the only one being pressed for time. The fact that he had made the trip out here to grab his sword was a waste as it was, there really wasn't time to be standing around chatting. Smiling despite being glowered at the Saiyan nodded his head, itching at his nose while trying to peer into the room for his weapon. "I know you are, I was kidding, I am too. Which is why if we want to get back to our schedules I need your help." More precisely, he needed his sword. Hopefully Viral didn't expect to be asked to come along, though Takeshi didn't exactly mind it if the Beastman did. If he and Shu couldn't intimidate the Shaharians properly then surely an ex-commander could. With the way his friend seemed at the moment however the chances of him going on any sort of trip were slim to none. Well then probably best not to beat around the subject any longer.

Throwing an arm around Viral's shoulders he smiled, giving him a friendly jab in the shoulder as well. "So listen, I kind of need my sword for this job. I'll be extra careful and won't use it unless I have to, I promise. So how about letting me take it, huh? Come on friend, give me a hand here." Maybe that was laying it on a bit too heavily, as Takeshi was pushed away pretty quickly after having asked for his blade. Viral wasn't buying into his request whatsoever, pretty much being as opposed to the suggestion as one could be. Smiling nervously Takeshi held his hands up in a defensive gesture, chuckling softly. "Hey now, that's not true! You're my friend and you know it! So we butt heads now and again, that doesn't mean we're not friends," he replied, watching as the Beastman stepped away. Damn it, and there he was being called out too about showing off, how annoying. Doing his best to remain friendly the Saiyan shook his head, stepping forward with a small smile. "I'd block it, what else? I know how to parry, its basically blocking! I'm not [i]that[/i] hopeless with it!" He'd seen Viral use his cleaver dozens of times, it couldn't be all that hard, even for a novice like him. "Tell you what. Give me the sword, and then ask T'charrl how I did later! He knows how to use one, so he'll be able to tell you if I was any good. If I was bad then I won't use it again until we have our lessons, deal? Pleeeease?"
