Viral had plenty of plans to how he might tell Vegeta when the time came, but for now he wasn’t wanting the information he might receive passed on behind his back before he could defend himself. The Doctor could easily go up and tell Vegeta everything and Vegeta would gradually become angered at how reckless he was for letting these injuries happen to him until it all exploded with guilt-ridden quiet rage that would only cause him to feel terrible. For now he didn’t think Vegeta knowing through the Doctor’s side would do him any good and would probably tell him later instead when the time comes. Staring at the Doctor as he contemplated the question he sighed and looked away when the Doctor agreed if with a little hesitation. “I’ll answer to Vegeta myself. I don’t need you being the middle man”, he grumbled, looking down at his injuries, “You just tell me what you would tell him”. Moving his leg once it was properly treated he frowned when the Doctor suggested relaxing, his eyes going to Yumi quickly before back to the Doctor. “Relax? Hmph…I suppose my medicine”, he spoke up, knowing it was just an effect of the medicine but was still pretty confident that it could do its part in chilling him out, “Just give me something to swallow it down with before I pass out…” Shu gave T’charrl a nervous smile before looking to Takeshi. T’charrl didn’t sound too confident that his parents would be happy upon his return, but that was going to be the norm until they finally met up once more. He could understand why, but he hoped he wasn’t trying to avoid seeing his parents again. “Ooh! I hope it will be okay! Scary…” he spoke, giving his back a quick scratch which eventually had his fish around for his tail, snatching the fruit he had been holding. Making a quick bounce away he sat down, munching away at the fruit as if it would be stolen from him if he didn’t eat it fast enough. He was happy to be back on this planet where there was nothing but fruit for him to feast on, his interest in meat not particularly high when there was fruit around everywhere. It was all delicious as always, but he was definitely looking forward to what his friend’s parents might have in store for them, even if it was rude to go straight up and ask for dinner just as their son arrived back home. T’charrl gave a little smile at Takeshi, trying to feel the enthusiasm as well. If his mother wasn’t happy when he returned after being captured for two weeks then she was going to be so angry at him knowing it took him this long to get in contact with her again. He didn’t know if Katas had set up exclusive communication between him and Vegeta yet so there was no way of contacting her before, but he didn’t think his mother would understand that just like he didn’t understand technology himself. “Just uhh…be wary that they don’t greet people in the same way as you might. I’m really hoping they don’t lash out at you guys”, he sighed, giving a little nod, “You’ve seen my mother has a habit of hitting people if there’s one thing wrong with me…she’s quite protective of me”. He didn’t doubt his mother’s love even when she lashed out, knowing it was for his own good. He could had been an entirely different person if his mother wasn’t harsh with him and he appreciated her for her dedication to make him a strong Prince. Looking to L’esta he frowned a little, not particularly happy to know there had been a lot of patrols. “Has there been more patrolling since after I left? I hope the trouble you speak of isn’t too extreme…” he frowned, gradually deciding to get up. He had eaten plenty more than enough now and shouldn’t go mad on sugar, especially if everyone was expecting a meal upon his return. “I-I think I can do it now. I don’t feel so weak in the legs. I need to be strong…”

It wouldn't be easy withholding information, but if that's what Viral wanted then the Doctor would have to oblige him. Dealing with an angry Beastman was much easier than an angry Vegeta, and one way or another someone was going to end up mad over this. Resigning himself to do as he was told this time the Doctor carefully patched up the first two most obvious wounds, now able to focus on the bleeding nose. It could be nothing, he mused, or it could be serious, they would have to take a look. In order to do that however Viral had to be relaxed enough to let someone work on him. "Your medicine...? Yes, yes, I can get that for you," the Doctor agreed, nodding his head. Having gotten the pills already he went ahead and fetched a small glass of water, offering both the dosage and water over to Viral to take. Hopefully if he were to relax then the nose bleed would gradually stop, and they could focus more on any other injuries the Beastman might have. There were ideas to where it came from of course, but amongst the several instructions given to him the Doctor was not to handle any psychological or mental issues that Viral might have. To be fair he wasn't overly trained for those, the Saiyans never concerned themselves with it much. "I suppose lay back and just relax for a few moments, then I'll see about cleaning up your nose some?" There was no doubt going to be a bit of drama going back, seeing as T'charrl wasn't completely himself and he didn't have full control; Things were better than when they had left originally, so that had to be worth something. Takeshi certainly hoped so, he didn't want their trip back to include being chased around by a mad woman with a chair, or sword or who knows what. "Hey, no sweat T'charrl, I'm sure things will be fine!" the Saiyan laughed, trying to be optimistic in spite of his nervous grin. "She'll be happy to see you either way, so there's no reason to worry. Just be happy we're going back, yeah?" There was no doubt the Queen loved her son, even if she could be a bit scary in showing it. So long as they minded what they did and said hopefully no one was going to get a slap upside the head. "Besides, she loves Shu, right buddy?" he asked, glancing over and frowning noting that his brother had moved. Spotting him a little ways off hunched over Takeshi smiled exasperatedly, walking to him and placing his hands on his hips, "Why are you hiding over here, squirt?" he asked, leaning over and ruffling the other boy's hair, "Got some fruit?" "Though I'm no stranger to Eslaria's anger I don't think you have much to worry about, Prince T'charrl. She has been incredibly worried about you lately so I can't imagine anything more than elation at your coming home. She may be angry with my not bringing you there sooner, but I've dealt with worse." He was a seasoned warrior, led men into battle and had received and given all kinds of wounds over the years, but deep down he was still a little edgy of the Queen's wrath. There were famous incidents in which people had struck back against the Queen before, and it wasn't even wholly illegal to do so, but if you were dumb enough to try she could really do some damage. Being royalty wasn't just a title for them, each member of the family could fight. Chuckling at the thought the Captain rubbed his head, glancing at the Prince as he got back to his feet. "There's little going on, honestly. It's just such a sensitive time for our people what with rebuilding and all, so the Queen is extremely cautious about preventing any trouble. As it seems so far just our regular presence in and around the city has made most would-be troublemakers back down for the time being. At any rate do you need help walking, T'charrl?"

Viral was never going to be confident with hearing news regarding his health, not that it was a simple conversation to go through either way. He would always hear about how his health was the cause of concern for everyone and how they were always worried about him. He didn’t like hearing any of that stuff, he was completely stricken with guilt every single time he had to go through hearing that and it made him feel pretty terrible every single time. If Vegeta got wind of what happened to him he would only hear the rant that he had heard time and time again that he should be more careful and that they were only concerned about him. He didn’t want such a thing for him ever, to hear that everyone was worried to the point of sickness. He just needed to take his medicine, wait for Vegeta to develop a cure and be done with it. Watching the Doctor fix up his pills and get some water he sighed as he took the pills first, keeping the clothing to his nose as he popped them in his mouth before removing it to take the water. He looked pretty awful just from that second alone when he had to remove it, his face fairly drained and his nose bloodied. Taking it back up to his face he could only stare at the Doctor as he instructed him to lay down, letting out a sigh at that order and slowly laying down on his side. “Isn’t on my back pretty risky…” he muttered, keeping the clothing to his face, “I could choke on my own blood…” Shu had faith in T’charrl that everything would be okay, he always had faith in his friends. They were all the greatest gift he could ask for and he would think nothing but good outcomes for whatever they had to face in the future. His parents were going to be ecstatic to see him back and everyone was going to be hugging then they’d get a good meal. Even if bad things came their way there would always be light somewhere along the road. Having a munch at the fruit he had kept to himself he tried to eat it as fast as possible, smiling away to himself as he chomped on it before letting out a squeak when Takeshi suddenly spoke to him from behind, his shoulders hunching up when his hair was ruffled. Quickly swallowing what he had he looked over his shoulder to Takeshi, giving a little smile before immediately turning around again and trying to hide what he had left. “Nu uh! You only guessing!” Quickly stuffing the rest in his mouth he let out a squeak as he immediately bounced around and away from Takeshi, giggling to himself. T’charrl had to get it together, he couldn’t embarrass everyone else because he was unable to control himself with him ending up attacking chairs because they had a certain shadow or changing back and going mental again. Giving Takeshi a smile he gave a little nod, looking away again. “Yeah, I should be happy about that. I just feel bad that I left so many people behind because I had changed so drastically”, he sighed, lowering his head, “I just wish I could truly be in control”. One thing he was worried about was his mother hitting him so hard that he’d change back. Trying to keep balance on his feet he slowly turned to L’esta, his eyes soon going down to his feet. “I don’t think going on more patrols is going to help the people of the surface relax around us any better. Just so you know…”He could see a lot of people getting angry that they were being constantly watched by soldiers, even if it was to prevent rebels from harming them. They wouldn’t like the presence of weapons around them all the time. Hoping he could at least attempt walking he moved his feet a little, feeling fairly confident he could manage. “I’ll try walking by myself, just…got to go at a reasonable pace…” Moving a foot forward he moved one of his arms forward too, almost trying to use it to walk as well until he realised he was doing it, bending forward a little before trying to calmly strut. He was trying at least but as he walked he was bending forward a little bit too much, almost looking like he was going to topple forward if he wasn’t careful.

The wounds were the quickest part of this visit, now they had to deal with the bloody nose and any other problems. The one thing the Doctor could think of immediately was a stress related bloody nose, just going alone by how Viral and Yumi had just tussled with a wild animal. The best thing to do in that case was to see the Beastman relaxed and try to keep him hydrated as well. What better way to relax than to lie back and take a load off? "I didn't mean the whole way back... Sorry for being unclear," the Doctor said, bowing his head uncomfortably, "Just... Do whatever makes you feel comfortable, Viral. I'll get you another glass of water to sip on and we'll wait for your nose to stop on its own accord." Either that or they could stuff his nose with cotton balls, or cauterize it shut, neither of which were going to be very plausible when even getting near the Beastman was unsettling. What the Doctor could do however was provide a little something to help clean Viral up, which he did in the form of a few wet cloths and a towel. "Here, go ahead and clean yourself off, then use the rag. I'll dispose of the shirt for you so you don't have to keep using it." That little sneaky devil... Shu had snuck off with fruit after all! It didn't much matter seeing as T'charrl had gotten his fill but Takeshi was still going to give his brother a hard time of it. Looming over the younger boy he smirked amused, placing his hands on his hips as he leaned over a bit. In his usual blissfully unaware way Shu was hardly phased, giggling as he scarfed down the last of his fruit without a care. Even if the older boy did try to chastise his brother he was sure the little guy would simply laugh it off and go about his business, just as he was now. "Guessing huh? You've got juice all over your face!" Takeshi said, shaking his head in amusement, "I don't know what you think you're hiding squirt, but it's not working." They had bigger things to focus on than some stolen fruit though, like going to see the Queen again. Confident as he was trying to come across as the Saiyan was particularly worried about getting smacked around; given his track record with women even the slightest wrong step would get him a good wallop. "I understand your point of view, and believe me, you're not alone on it. Until we can ensure that there's no longer any threat from the General's people however we have no choice but to patrol, even if we don't catch anyone. It's our hope that our continued presence is enough of a deterrent to keep them from doing any harm. Whether the common populace understands that or not isn't my duty, that falls to your mother and father to share." It wasn't as though anyone was even being aggressive during these patrols either; soldiers were armed, yes, but went about their day as normal. Even L'esta typically spent a patrol just walking around the city, chatting with the locals and enjoying himself, he just happened to be keeping an eye out for trouble as well. In reality he saw it as very similar to the city's own law enforcement, only they were aiding them as an outside force. "The majority of people from the city have had no problem with us, and those I've spoken with are grateful we're here, so I can't be led to believe we're harming anyone." Offering T'charrl a hand to move the Captain let the boy do it on his own as he wanted, but remained close at his side. Seeing him hunching over as he walked was hardly reassuring, and more than once L'esta made a move to help. "Are you certain you don't want aid...? After what you just went through it's not wrong to accept some help."

Viral was feeling fair out of it already, but not because he took his medicine. The medicine was rather fast acting because he didn’t eat, but the blood loss didn’t help him much. He needed to clear his head and the medicine was going to do just that for a little while, even if it wasn’t going to be enough to send him to sleep. It was rare that he didn’t go unconscious after one of these nose bleeds so he was definitely spared embarrassment on that part. Sighing at the Doctor’s words he shifted slightly. “I did…and this makes me feel comfortable”, he spoke lowly, moving onto his front a little more, “I can’t get this far and fall off this thing…” He probably wasn’t going to get much done now and would have to rest up for the rest of the day probably much to Yumi’s disappointment. She probably wanted to do loads, but it wasn’t like it was his fault. Taking the cloths he grumbled as he moved the bloodied clothing, using the cloths to soothe his nose instead. It was definitely calming down as he relaxed a little more, but he still couldn’t help but complain. “Would’ve been fine if Yumi didn’t decide to bite me…” Shu really thought he was going to get away with it right up until Takeshi sneaked up on him, bouncing a little away from Takeshi all excited. Even if he had juice on his face he was still determined to hide the fact that he was sneaking fruit, turning it into a game. Letting out a squeal he bounced around, eventually stopping as he tried to chow down on the fruit a little bit better before swallowing it down, his hands to his face until it was gone. “…No can prove anything! Nope, nope!” he giggled, bouncing in a few spins on the spot, “I don’t hide, nope! Nothing sure was yummy, though!” That piece of fruit wasn’t going to be enough to satisfy him even if he did manage to take more, but thankfully he was going to get some more a little later. He couldn’t wait for that, especially with the quality of food they had on this planet being so high. T’charrl could’ve waited a little longer before trying to move on his own but he knew everyone was wanting to get him back to his family. Maybe once he got going he’d be able to get back to walking normally, but it really was hard just as any sort of change was. He was so used to being hunched over and supporting his weight on his secondary set of claws, none of this standing up straight and walking like a normal person. He just had to remember he was normal now and not whatever he was before. “Uhh…I-I’ll get it eventually, just need to try and find my feet again…” he muttered, keeping his eyes to the ground as he took another step forward, almost stumbling forward but instead stumbled towards L’esta, making a grab for him, “Uhh! M-Maybe it’s best if I got a little help! I mean, umm, it’s weak legs! That’s all…”

Given that the bloodied nose was due to stress the obvious solution then was to remove said stress. Lying down, taking his medicine, there was a number of things which could be done to help Viral relax; a normal person might benefit from those, it was difficult to say with the Beastman. At the very least the real serious injuries on his arm and leg had been dealt with, and bloody though his nose may be Viral would hardly bleed out from it. Applying some pressure with the cloth and waiting could just as easily make it clot up on its own, and they could clean up after the fact. "If that works for you then very well, you may do just that. It's not my place to tell you how to be comfortable after all." As soon as the bloody nose ceased the pair could leave once more far as the Doctor was concerned. Sure, it was painfully obvious there were underlying issues here, but his position and Vegeta's requests left him largely unable to help it. Preparing to dispose of the bloody rags the Doctor paused hearing what Viral had to say, frowning and looking at Yumi confused. "You bit him...? Why?" "I don't know! I don't even remember doing it!" Yumi said defensively, pouting as she folded her arms. "Are you sure you're not mistaken, Viral? Maybe the lizard bit you instead and you thought it was me?" Though she could see the marks earlier, and they were far too small for the size of the creature they had been attacked by. If it hadn't been her then it was some small predator, and she was hard pressed to see anything smaller than them trying to attack Viral. The truth was clear earlier but she had been very reluctant to accept it; facing it now left Yumi all sorts of anxious and guilty. Wringing her hands she looked down at the floor, shifting her weight before glancing back at Viral. "I'm really sorry if I did... I just can't remember it right now..." she explained, "I won't do it again though, I'm sure of it!" Takeshi was trying quite hard not to laugh at Shu, being far more entertained than annoyed at his brother's silliness. "I'm glad you enjoyed nothing so much buddy. Now we can enjoy nothing until we get to dinner!" he teased, reaching out and prodding the little guy's forehead. "No more sneaking fruit until then, okay? You're going to get all messy and sticky from the juices." If Shu ended up really filthy, which he no doubt would after today then they were going to have to wash up; Shu hated washing up, evident enough by his inability to stand or sit still while doing so. Takeshi was fair lenient when it came to his sibling's habits but marching around or sharing a bed while dirty was just out of the question. They didn't have time to be on the prowl for fruit anyways, not with T'charrl all set to get moving. So long as they could hold out just a wee bit longer for a meal they'd have what they wanted soon enough, hopefully. L'esta couldn't help but laugh when T'charrl stumbled to him, figuring the Prince would try to put up a strong front. It was easy enough to see the boy was weak after his change, and there was no shame in admitting this, maybe except for a hurt pride. Extending an arm for the young Kaesstrian to take the Captain nodded his head, a wide smile on his face. "Of course, Prince, I'd be happy to help you." It may be faster just to pick up and carry T'charrl, but the boy likely wanted to get moving of his own volition. Not one to deny the boy L'esta resolved to simply act as a support, keeping his arm out for T'charrl to grasp on to as they moved. "We'll take one of the side entrances to the city, one of the ones specifically for our use only, that way we can hopefully avoid most prying eyes. It's a bit further of a walk than the main gate, is that alright?"

“Hmph, you try lying down comfortably with bloody horns sticking out your head…” Viral certainly wasn’t going to go easy on Yumi after she bit him like that, especially when that was what started this whole mess. She attracted the creature and all it did was do what any other blind creature would do. Letting his bloody nose run its course he kept the cloth to his face as Yumi tried to justify her actions by saying she forgot them, as usual. Letting out a groan he closed his eyes for a moment, letting her apology get through to him. “If you’re so sure of it…but don’t think you’ll get away with doing that again now that you’ve said that…” He found it hard to believe her but if she said she wasn’t going to then he had to take her word. It was hard to think that she’d be able to hold onto that promise considering her track record with such promises. Slowly removing the cloth again he checked his nose, the bleeding definitely calmed by now. He was a lot calmer himself but probably because of the medicine, but even then he was determined to know what it was that caused such a reaction without only guessing it. “So…why do I keep profusely bleeding from my face? I can’t deal with this nonsense all the time…” Shu enjoyed being a little cheeky once in a while, especially when it was in his nature to be tricky and jump around like that. Even if Takeshi wasn’t into it he’d still do it while not trying to get caught. Having a little giggle to himself he squeaked when Takeshi prodded his head, waving his arms around his head before taking his shirt and wiping his face free of all the juice. “You can’t prove I did! No proof!” he giggled, smiling up at Takeshi, “I can’t wait for dinner! Dinner going to be nice! Not trying to be sneaky-sneaky…” Takeshi could easily be harsh with him if he wanted to but he knew he wasn’t going to, just making it all the more fun to pull off tricks like this. He knew he might not get food immediately once he returned with his friend to the palace, but the food was going to be worth it once he finally did get it. Right now though, T’charrl appeared to be having trouble with standing and walking, almost looking like he was wanting to crawl around. Hopefully he wouldn’t do that around his mother or she’d be really mad. T’charrl was trying really very hard to walk by himself but he just couldn’t manage to find his footing. It shouldn’t be this difficult, he had spent a fair length of his life walking around like a normal person and yet he was struggling after just a little while of walking like an animal. He wasn’t used to his arms being so light or his body being so skinny again and that worried him greatly. Frowning, he took hold of L’esta, letting out a sigh as he tried to find his feet again. “Yeah, it’s alright…” he sighed, using him for balance as he stepped forward calmly, moving his arms around to balance as well, “It’ll give me practice, at least. I might just resort to flying around at this rate…”

Getting all the way down to the palace without being spotted wasn't easy, but somehow they had managed. Making his men swear to keep their mouths closed until further notice sure helped, and using roads that only the Royal Guard had access to sure made skulking about easier on them. L'esta breathed a little easier when they had finally gotten the palace in their sights, but he wouldn't wholly relax until they were actually inside. There was a little bit of debate over how they should proceed from here on out; go to Renthal to have T'charrl checked up on, or directly to Her Majesty so she could see her son. Either way the Queen was bound to find out her son was back, that was an inevitability even the Captain couldn't prevent. "Where do you wish to go first, Prince? I would personally advise seeing the doctor first, just to be certain you're well. But, knowing your mother... It may be in your best interest to see her first as well," L'esta mused, smiling to T'charrl, "The decision is ultimately yours, we're simply your escort there." "Come on, I bet his mom is going to be happy to see him! It's been a while since we've been back," Takeshi said, nodding to himself with a smile, "Even she can't be mad about something with you coming home and all, right?" The lady might be scary but there was no doubt she cared for T'charrl, that much bad been made obvious before. Far as anyone knew here too the guy did have control of his powers, and so long as T'charrl didn't say otherwise they might not know any better. If he was asked... Well, hopefully what they had taught him was going to be enough. They would find out how the Queen would take things soon enough, and the General too for that matter. Smiling confidently Takeshi folded his hands behind his head, taking a glance back curiously when he heard Haku gasp. Confused for a brief moment he broke into an amused grin as the other boy was staring at the palace amazed, apparently not having seen anything like it before. "Pretty cool place huh? Then again this whole city is awesome. What other planet has an underground city this big, you know?" This certainly was a new experience, and an exciting one at that. Never before had Haku seen anything like this; thinking a massive city like this could exist underground would have been absurd up until now. The sheer surprise and majesty of it all had him over his tension pretty quick, and now he was too busy looking at everything around them to bother being uneasy. Not realizing he was being watched he twitched a little when spoken to, looking over at Takeshi and managing the faintest of smiles. "Uh... Yeah... It's neat." Neat was a bit of an understatement, the palace here made the King's back on Kortal look so plain and boring. Plus this one was just amazing to look at, and there wasn't that sense of foreboding or dread when you went near it that the Saiyan palace had. This was just a really awesome place all in all, and he couldn't wait to see inside of it. Seeing as there was still plenty of light outside Yumi and Viral had opted to go back out after a while, and enjoy themselves this time around. Maybe they wouldn't go hunting, but there had to be plenty of other things that they could do for fun. Just exploring, maybe some training, though the doctor had said no rigorous activity; going a bit further out beyond the forests could be fun, they could see what was beyond the cities they knew so far. Ultimately however it was going to fall to the Beastman to decide what they were doing, even if Yumi was more than ready to offer a few suggestions here and there. "Oh! We can always go into the city and look around too!" she said suddenly, smiling at the idea, "Or we can just go for a walk, see what's out there! I bet there's all sorts of cool places just waiting for us to find them!" "I've been to the city twice already, if it's all the same I'd rather not go again," Vegeta interjected, rubbing at his neck tiredly. This was proving to be quite difficult, not speaking to Viral of his problems or bringing up his injuries. Yumi had been very adamant about him leaving their friend's condition in the medical ward from now on, and any time they were outside of it that wasn't to be a topic. Reasonable enough, but for a person who was incessantly concerned for Viral's well being it wasn't easy to do. There was something to occupy him at the very least, and that was keeping an eye on Yumi. He'd learned of what had happened, how she had allegedly bitten Viral and then had no recollection of the event. A temporary lapse in memory coupled with a violent outburst, you didn't need to be a psychologist to figure out why that was bad. He would observe her for now and try coming up with some plan of action as they went, but right now he couldn't do anything for her. "Viral, what is it you want to do exactly?"

T’charrl was really nervous about seeing his mother or anyone from the palace, especially when he wasn’t the same as what he used to be. He was clearly different to those who knew him and that was going to scare him when people randomly flipped out over it. He was worried he might upset someone or scare them back, he might even suddenly change and that would be terrifying. There was so many ways he could screw up all because he was inexperienced and all he could do was hope none of it happened. Even though he had lived in the palace all his life it was good to be finally back, the fresh air of the underground would always be welcoming to him. He didn’t know how people could do with being out in the open all the time; it felt so dangerous, at least too much for him to handle. Keeping his head down low most of the time he let out a groan as he was given a choice; to see his mother first or go to the family doctor first. Giving a glance towards Takeshi he sighed, looking away again. “She’ll be mad I didn’t say I was coming back”, he spoke, frowning, “She’s going to be mad no matter what at this rate”. She was easily someone to be afraid of when things didn’t go as planned and she would definitely be angry that he didn’t send a messenger to tell her anything. Things never really did go as planned and this was definitely a sign of how things can go pretty wry. “I-I’ll go see her…then I’ll go to Renthal”, he spoke, shaking his head a little, “I don’t want to worry her, but I don’t want to put it off either. I hope I’m making the right decision…” Shu was pretty happy already as he made his way into the city but actually getting into it just heightened his excitement. He couldn’t believe he was back here again even though he knew he was going to go back for a while now, but it was a difference between knowing and actually being here that made him excited. It was always so pretty and full of life even though it was underground, really reminding Shu why his friend was so dark in colour just like being hairy told others where he came from himself. Looking to Haku and Takeshi he giggled to himself at the reaction, thinking the guy should’ve been acting way more impressed. The place was more than just ‘neat’. Squeaking, Shu bounced over to Takeshi. “Did you go into the palace? I went with Miss Yumi”, Shu nodded, feeling pretty proud of himself, “We took Friend to the Doctor and his mother hit him off the bed!” Viral was feeling pretty out of it since his trip to the Doctor, a combination of the medicine and the blood leaving his head accounting to that. Nevertheless, Viral could still think through all that and simply appeared worn out. He wanted to keep going, he didn’t want to rest like he should’ve especially when he was so close to lasting throughout an entire day. The energy from the sun was helping, but he still felt lost in thought way too much for his liking. With Vegeta back with him he felt just as crowded as he did with Yumi being there, sighing as he stared out at his current path. There was definitely a lacking desire to go to the city when he looked so different than what he was before, but even then if he was normal he’d still find it hard to fit in with the others. These aliens were just getting used to Saiyans and seeing someone like him who looked drastically different from one would probably frighten them. Hearing Vegeta’s objection to the city he let out a sigh, rubbing his head before hearing he was being asked to make a decision. Looking to Vegeta he let out a groan, not feeling confident that he could make a good decision. “I don’t want to do anything! What’s the point? Why does it have to be my decision??” he asked up, getting a little defensive over it, “There’s nothing else to do on this planet…hmph, I thought I was supposed to be relaxing…”

Takeshi was pretty optimistic... Right up until T'charrl actually decided to go see the Queen first. Sure he was trying to be in good spirits about it all, but that was just to keep their friend happy. Now that they were really going to see her he could almost feel the claw slapping him in the face, or goodness knows what else the lady might use to hit him. It was always him too, never Shu and probably not Haku. "Hey, the right decision is your decision, you know? There's no right and wrong there!" Takeshi said, chuckling nervously, "We'll go drop in, say hi then go right to the doctor. I'm sure she won't mind if we do that." Heck, maybe he and Shu should go to Renthal now, just to make sure it was safe and all. Didn't want any of those old loyalists trying to get at T'charrl, no sir! It was a bit too late to even consider mentioning that however as they were now coming right up to the palace, and a few guards had taken notice of them. At first they looked to dismiss their group entirely until one caught sight of T'charrl, quickly alerting the others to the Prince's presence. Smiling sheepishly Takeshi moved a bit closer to his friend, folding his hands behind his back and glancing over. "Just saying... If you want to ask your mom not to get pissed at us, that would be completely fine by me." L'esta would much rather have preferred to avoid others if at all possible, but even the side entrances were under guard. Thankfully there were only four men on duty out here, the only downside to that fact being they were not actually under his direct command. Regardless he outranked them by quite a bit, so an order even from him should be obeyed. Stepping up ahead of the rest of the group he sobered up a bit, standing before the guards with his arms crossed sternly. "Listen up you four, I'm only going to say this once and I expect you to listen. We are on our way to see the Queen now, and after that we have other business to attend to. Under no circumstances are you to share that you've seen the Prince here, not until Her Majesty or Yusef has given the okay themselves, do I make myself clear?" You couldn't be lax with an order like this otherwise someone was bound to step out of line. Narrowing his eyes as the men exchanged glances L'esta stomped a foot on the ground, watching as all four promptly went to attention and nodded their heads. Breathing a little easier the Captain looked behind himself, smiling as he waved everyone on. "Come along then, the throne room isn't too far from here." Shame they were coming in through the side like this, there was probably a real nice courtyard in the front of the palace. Shame too they hadn't been able to go through the whole city either, Haku would have liked to see some more of it. He had no clue that these Kaesstrians lived underground like this, he'd figured the cities above ground were all there was to them. Why did they live underground when there was so much space above it? A bit odd, he'd have to remember to ask that at some point. Or maybe not, he didn't want anyone getting mad, like this Queen he kept hearing about. T'charrl and Takeshi both sounded a bit worried about her, Shu was the only one not seeming bothered by it. L'esta was a bit harder to read, at least in regards to T'charrl's mother; the way the Captain spoke to the other men and demanded they keep silent was plain as day. Watching the display a bit enviously he quickly stepped to when they were motioned inside, following everyone else. Though it was a side entrance Haku was still impressed when they passed through the doorway and found themselves in a spacious hallway, the floor of which was lined with a vibrantly colored rug and several tapestries and pictures decorated the walls. Some unusual looking lights hung from the ceiling and basked the whole hall in a warm glow, it was a pretty nice introduction to the palace. There were most certainly no shortage of suggestions, even if the majority of them were coming from Yumi. None of them sounded terrible or dangerous for Viral, but few if any sounded quite his speed. Sightseeing was never something he knew the Beastman for, nor was just going on a simple walk through the countryside. He could be wrong though, Viral might surprise him and pick something. Or he could become flustered and elect to do none of that. A bit perplexed by what was said Vegeta frowned, crossing his arms and shaking his head. "It's your decision only if you want it to be. We don't want you to feel confined, so we're giving you the freedom of picking what you do. Yumi and I are only coming along to keep you company, that's all," he explained, "And what do you mean supposed to be relaxing? I suppose before you were, yes, but not now. If you want the answer then I guess you're not supposed to be doing anything right now." That seemed obvious to Vegeta, but evidently it needed to be said. Shrugging his shoulders he looked over at Viral patiently, managing a small smile. "As I said, you decide what you wish to do. Don't let us dictate your schedule while we're here."

T’charrl knew he was probably making a bad decision but his mind definitely told him he would rather be slapped for not telling his mother he was back while he was standing and not when he was being checked over by Renthal. He didn’t know if there was a problem with doing that over the other way other than worrying over which one would hurt more and whether his mother would force him under the veil of guilt and shame for not telling her first. She was going to do that anyway, but luckily he could dodge the worst of it by going to her immediately. Looking to Takeshi he smiled nervously, giving him a nod. “Right…drop in. I don’t know if that’s a good term to go by, though…” he smiled, looking away again, “I am a Prince and I’ve got to make the right decisions…” Maybe if he was polite enough to his mother he’ll be able to avoid a lot of her wrath, but as it stood he was worried that her worry for him would take over and meld in with her warrior instincts and cause that worry to become anger. Looking to the guards as he met their eyes he gave a little nod before looking away again, finding them to be the hardest obstacle over walking up to now. At least they weren’t going to rush off to the Queen and tell her, but he felt pretty embarrassed over the way he was attempting to walk still. He had gotten a little better at it since starting, but he was still making stupid mistakes such as slowly deciding to hunch forward as if trying to find balance using his arms. Shu giggled at Takeshi, finding his nervousness to be pretty amusing. He didn’t want to be hit but he was too small to be hit by someone like the Queen, especially when she was nice to him. He could dodge the bullet on that one and use his innocence to remain unscathed, but Takeshi was experienced enough to make good decisions in everybody else’s eyes. He was thankful for that fact and was quite happy to not be slapped at for the time being. Shu didn’t know why they were so fearful of his mother, he thought she was perfectly reasonable in her actions and if they did something bad then they probably knew it was coming too. Looking to the guards he watched them carefully before bouncing onwards once L’esta gave them the all clear, getting all excited as the possibility of fruit was quickly coming up. “Ooh! This is going to be exciting, I think…” Viral could probably do with not being the centre of attention for once, especially when he didn’t like making decisions on what to do when he couldn’t even do what he wanted to. He wanted to train or battle something but he couldn’t do any of that. He was fine with making decisions if it involved him having some control over his life, but right now everything he did needed to be watched over and closely monitored. It left him with many limitations and he was definitely upset by that, but he couldn’t do anything about it. To be expected to make a decision on what he wanted to do was absurd given these limitations, his hope that maybe one of them might be able to tell him what he can and can’t do dwindling greatly. Staring at Vegeta he gave a quick glance to Yumi before sighing in annoyance, lowering his head and looking away. “You won’t even let me do anything that I want to do, anyway! It’s not clear to me what I can do”, he spoke up before sighing, rubbing his head, “Let’s just find somewhere to relax…somewhere that’s not going to try and kill me. Somewhere away from people…”

"Well it's what we're doing isn't it? We're just stopping by and saying hi before we go to the doc, right? I'd figure your mom would be happy we're going to get you checked up just to be safe, you know? Heck, she might even tell you to do it anyways." Takeshi didn't know what T'charrl was so worried over anyways, it wasn't his job to help someone get better. They had agreed to help their friend learn to control his powers and turn back to his old self, neither of which they had done entirely. The situation was certainly better, sure, but not ideal. Depending on how angry the Queen might be over this shortcoming it could either be a really nice reunion or a really scary one. "Whatever you pick is the right one buddy, and we'll go with it! Don't worry so much, I'm sure she's going to be glad to see you again." Focusing a little bit on T'charrl and his problems Takeshi only just realized he was paying Shu no mind, looking at his brother curiously as he was bouncing about. Smirking amused the older boy reached out, trying to place a hand on his little brother's head to keep him from bounding about. "'Course it's going to be exciting, we're bringing T'charrl back to his mom. How's about not running around so much. You might run into someone on accident, you know?" L'esta watched the two brothers slightly amused before turning back down the hall, taking the lead towards the throne room. This reunion of T'charrl and his mother was most certainly going to be interesting, maybe exciting if they were lucky. Even if Her Majesty responded with some kind of hostility it was not out of spite, but more of her way of showing concern without outwardly doing so. Eslaria had her moments to be sure, when her front faded and she showed some real compassion, but it rarely if ever happened. "If you feel at any point you need to take a step back then I will speak on your behalf, Prince T'charrl," the Captain said, placing a hand on his chest and bowing slightly, "I can't give her all the details, but at the very least I may be able to stay her hand for a short while." They were bound to find out if he could or not in just a moment as the throne room was not terribly far off, and L'esta just had an itching feeling that the Queen somehow knew they were coming. Straightening up his posture entirely he smoothed out his uniform with one hand, wanting to be presentable after his scuffle with the Prince. The nearer they came to the room the more guards they saw, each and every one of them astonished by the Prince being in their midst. Graciously few said anything as they approached the throne room, and soon enough they were stood before the great doors. "Well then, Prince T'charrl, ready?" Vegeta was going to try rather hard to be lenient and allow Viral some freedom, something he'd not done much of as of late. A good deal of his overbearing behavior was for worry that the Beastman might hurt himself, and the work he was doing might be made invalid as a result. The time spent on the research wasn't what he didn't want to waste, but rather having to prolong curing Viral even longer. Glancing over at the Beastman he sighed when accused of limiting Viral's actions, feeling a touch bad because it wasn't a false claim. "I'm giving you the liberty to do as you please now though, isn't that a start? It's whatever you wish to do, I won't say a word otherwise." It didn't take terribly long for their friend to come to a conclusion, and the response was a little surprising to hear. Just simply relaxing then? Vegeta might have figured Viral would choose something to keep his mind occupied, but if relaxing was what he wanted then they would give it to him. Nodding in confirmation he got to his feet, dusting off his hands before looking towards the woods. "Very well... That way is towards the city, which means we'll avoid that. Pick any direction and go, I suppose, we'll just have to see where it takes us."

T’charrl gave Takeshi a little smile. “Uhh, yeah…although, she’ll tell me to get dressed too, I mean uhh…I’m not even proper”, he sighed, looking down at himself, “Even though I don’t need clothes it’s still a cultural and a sign of respect. I really don’t want to wreck anymore, though…” It was always going to be like this, even if it was just a fear of destroying his clothing accidentally because he changed. It felt like a handicap, especially when it took so long to make clothes himself just to feel dignified. His mother was going to rage at him for that if she could look beyond the fact he was home and possibly hurt, but then again fussing over being hurt just made him look weak in front of his mother. Hoping Takeshi was correct with his assumption he let out a sigh, lowering his head before looking to the Captain. “It should be fine. You didn’t even know most of the details, after all”. He felt he could manage by himself if he just tried, so long as he remained strong. Approaching the door carefully he stared at it calmly, trying to build up his confidence before finally nodding. “I’m ready. Just…don’t try to defend me”. Shu thought all of this was getting a little tense but he wasn’t going to let it get to him, especially when he could always show off that he was innocent and had nothing to do with all of the bad feelings that might be happening. He helped look after his friend the most by playing with him lots so he did what he could do to make his friend feel comfortable. Smiling hopefully he glanced to Takeshi, not feeling so ignored anymore when he finally decided to pay attention to him. Bouncing around to face him he giggled when Takeshi tried to keep him still, raising his shoulders slightly. “I won’t! I’m just excited! It’s been a long time, yes? I don’t know how long, though…many sleeps ago! Many sleeps”. Viral didn’t know what there was to do on this planet that he could do any nobody was going to give him a chance at being adventurous when something terrible could go wrong too so he only had a small choice of things he could do. It was certainly a little insulting to be told it was his choice to what he was able to do but didn’t have much of a variety of choice. He could probably run about a bit or walk around a bit or rest a bit but that was it. Looking to Vegeta he frowned, giving his head a shake and looking away again. “Of course…unless you want things to get worse. I’m not going to bring myself closer to death just because I want to do things my way”. Seeing Vegeta get up he groaned as he tried to get up himself, his head not willing to comply with the rest of his body at first before simply shaking it off. Grumbling for a moment he looked around the forest, eventually deciding to walk in whatever direction he was facing last. “Maybe I’ll find a really big tree…something that might be interesting to me before I forget everything”.

"Hey... Considering everything that's gone on lately I'm sure being dressed right is the least of her worries," Takeshi reassured, "I doubt we're going back to get you clothes now anyways, so don't sweat it." At least they were just going to see the guy's mom, not the whole kingdom or anything. If they were addressing crowds of people then sure, he could understand wanting to be dressed, but this ought to be a quiet little meeting. They were going to have to go in as they were and hope for the best, and if they were fortunate then the Queen wouldn't be smacking anyone for any shortcomings. Everyone was pretty set on helping T'charrl out, the Captain included; the guy was willing to take a proverbial bullet for their friend. Smiling encouragingly Takeshi gave a nod, glancing over at Shu curiously as he kept on being a hyper little dope. "It has been a long time, hasn't it? Jeez buddy, I've never seen you so excited, try keeping yourself together. Don't want them thinking you're crazy, you know?" Turning back to the doors he sighed softly, rubbing his head before puffing himself up a bit and putting on a smile, trying to seem far more prepared for this than he was feeling. "No, no I do not want to put up a military outpost in the Upper City! How many times do I have to say this is a peacekeeping operation, NOT an occupation! Ask me again and I'm going to demote you back to private!" How could her directions be so lost on some of the soldiers? It was like the notion of peacekeeping was well beyond their understanding, and all they knew was war. No small wonder, their people had been at odds for quite some time, so maybe all they really did know was war. Even so how difficult could it be to wrap one's head around it? After throwing the papers back at the soldier Eslaria gestured for him to get out, rolling her eyes as he hurried along. There were more things to focus on than some up and coming leader's proposed plans, she had masses of people to worry about right now. Not a moment after that man had left did she hear the doors opening yet again, hardly containing an irritated groan as she lowered her head. "I swear, if you have another idiotic plan..." she began, getting up from her chair and turning around. Annoyed quite a bit the Queen froze on the spot when she saw who was standing at the doors, simply staring for a moment as if unable to put two and two together. She recognized this person... But was it really him? Was this really her son? Finally remembering herself shortly thereafter the Queen shook her head, taking a small step forward while looking awfully confused. "T'charrl...? You're home...?" Even when giving Viral the liberty to pick what he did he was still a bundle of joy... Maybe this wasn't the way to go about it. Though hard pressed to agree with someone like Choi, Vegeta found himself increasingly wondering if what the other boy had said held some merit. Should he just try talking with Viral? It could be that the Beastman thought himself nothing more than a patient and a project with all the medical attention he was getting, perhaps he just needed to be treated like a regular person. Casual banter, doing something fun, those were hardly some of Vegeta's strong points, but he had to give it a shot for Viral's sake. Doing his damnedest not to comment on the "forgetting everything" comment he followed after his friend, smiling a bit awkwardly. "Beautiful day... We might as well enjoy it while we can," he remarked, pausing briefly as he questioned what he said. Had he just suggested that this might not last? Damn it, perhaps a different approach then. Rubbing his head he looked over at Viral, still smiling as he reached out and gave him a pat on the shoulder. "So... How uh... How are you enjoying Kaesstra so far?"

Shu could keep it under wraps if he wanted to and didn’t need someone telling him to like Takeshi, especially when this was a pretty big deal for T’charrl. He didn’t want to mess up his friend’s reunion with his mother, after all. “Ooh! But it’s so nice! Friend getting to see parents again is so nice, like not seeing friend in long time, right?” he smiled, bouncing on his toes a little before promptly stopping as the door was slowly opened. He needed to keep to the back for this one and immediately moved to Takeshi’s side, curiously watching his friend as the door opened. It was going to be pretty tense for T’charrl, he could feel it emanating off his friend. Curious to what might happen he squeaked a little at the mother shouting at someone within, tilting his head to try and understand what was going on. His mother sounded angry at someone as usual, but hopefully things would turn out better for his friend. T’charrl was extremely nervous but knew it had to be done eventually and what better way to do it than before he had to go off for a doctor’s check. He had to be brave about it and face up to her whether he liked it or not. He missed her, of course he did after all this time of trying to get better. He wanted to get better for her and this was the closest he could come to being better. As the door opened slowly he gasped when he heard his mother’s voice, lowering his head as he waited for his mother to finish her business with the soldier. Seeing her there made him very nervous, watching her as she took charge over the man and put his plans in their place. He could easily run right up to her and announce his arrival, but he respected his mother greatly. Tapping his claws together as he shifted his feet he stared at her, watching as she got up from her place before finally noticing him. Gasping he froze up himself, staring back at her before averting his eyes. He didn’t know if she recognised him at first but soon twitched when she spoke his name, his eyes going back up to her before he stumbled forward. “M-Mother! Mother, I return!” he gasped, making a brief jump forward but quickly had to stop himself from falling, pausing momentarily before he decided to change it into a bow, “I-I have returned for a while from my journey…” Viral needed to find something he might remember that didn’t mean he was going to remember it because he got attacked, keeping his head up. He was fairly confident he wasn’t going to remember much from this planet after all that was said and done, but of course it was going to be either due to the fact that he wasn’t finding anything of interest on this planet or he was going to get worse. There was little for him to make an effort to remember on this planet, even if it was a massive planet with many possibilities. He couldn’t explore any of it without someone else or worries that he might not be able to last in his current state. It was simply depressing, leaving him with very little in the way of possibilities. Finding his thoughts to be more distracting than the actual place he twitched to look to Vegeta, confused by his optimism regarding the environment. The guy barely ever got out so maybe any day to him was beautiful. Sighing he lowered his head slightly, not really feeling sure about what he should be thinking until Vegeta decided to touch him instead, giving him a pat on the shoulder. Looking to him in confusion he narrowed his gaze, feeling curious as to why Vegeta was talking to him like this. “…What? I don’t believe I’ve been here long enough to form an opinion on the planet”, he spoke before looking away, grumbling, “Either way it’s hardly something to care about. There’s nothing to care about so far. Barely been here a day…”

It was just interruption after interruption today, and no on even had anything good to say! At this point she was waiting on L'esta or Katas to report in, hoping they might have something that wasn't going to irritate her as the others had been. Just after getting rid of one headache another appeared, there was no end to it. Resisting the urge to simply tell whoever it was to outright go away she rose up from her chair, expecting another unfortunate soldier to carry in their officer's moronic requests or plans; the person who came in not only was not some mindless soldier, but someone she recognized. At least, the Queen thought she recognized this person, but she dared not believe her eyes at first. However as the figure stood there and others joined him there was no doubting it, her son had finally returned home. He was a little different still but far closer to his old self than before, and he had his friends with him still. Quite confused by it all she watched him curiously, craning her head while trying to process it all. Finally she moved forward wordlessly, walking over to T'charrl and standing before him. "You've come back from your journey... For a while...?" Eslaria repeated, blinking a few times before frowning. "And you never called? Did you ever once try getting in touch with Katas? I thought Vegeta set something up and yet you never got in touch with us! Not even once! Do you have any idea what your father and I have been through worrying about you?" As abruptly as she had started chastising her son the Queen leaned over, wrapping her arms around him and pulling T'charrl close. Closing her eyes she sighed softly, laying her head against his shoulder and smiling faintly. "Though I suppose it does not matter... You're home now." Vegeta figured Choi had been getting at being casual with Viral, something that he never did with the Beastman. The only issue with that was not only did he feel incredibly awkward doing it but Viral didn't look to take to it as well as he might have hoped. Rather than be encouraged by the more relaxed approach he was just as upset as before, and confused to boot. Smiling uncomfortably he placed his hands on his hips, pausing briefly before sighing and following after Viral again. "Why waste the energy trying to find something to care about? Just enjoy being out and about. We don't need a reason to be here, or any goal, we just should do whatever comes to mind, whatever we want." Spontaneity was scarcely one of his better skills, and chances were he'd quickly cave in and get back to his rigid self, but Vegeta was hoping maybe having unbound freedom would enable his friend a little more. They had an entire planet to themselves, and he figured now that he was with Viral the curfew wasn't as much imposed as suggested; keeping an eye on the Beastman undid the entire purpose of the curfew in the first place. "Does feel nice to be on a planet again... It's not quite Earth, but it's pleasant enough."

T’charrl was pretty worried that his mother would blow up on him, especially when he couldn’t say he was willing to go up to ask Vegeta to contact his family. He avoided them, but he did it for a reason they probably wouldn’t be able to understand. Hoping that his mother might just make it quick or at least go easy on him he kept his head low, trying to keep his respect for his mother high. He really hoped she wasn’t going to see his differences as a failure in his quest to cure his illness. Hoping she was going to go easy on him he gave a little nod when she repeated his claims, frowning when she began to question the whys of his actions. He couldn’t help doing that, she had to understand he couldn’t help doing that after he told her; however, he had to try and find the confidence to tell her why he couldn’t do something like that. She had to understand when he told her, but she continued with what was quickly turning into an angry rant. Lowering his head some more he closed his eyes, hoping if she was going to do something to him she will hopefully do it quickly; however, rather than a set of claws coming in contact with his face she instead embraced him in a hug. Freezing for a moment he looked to her before sighing, hesitating a moment before wrapping his arms around her body as if trying to remember how to do it himself. He hadn’t done it in a long time, but he was glad that the next time he could do it was by giving his mother a hug. “I-I’m sorry…I would had, but things happened and…I’m sorry”, he muttered, nuzzling against her, “I brought my friends…a-and I brought gifts! I missed you and Father…” Viral didn’t know what Vegeta was trying to start but it was completely out of character for him. He was expecting him to start asking how he had been getting on and whether he had any reactions lately, but instead he was asking him very general questions that you’d ask your friend. Vegeta wasn’t one for friends beyond the others so this was definitely very strange. Staring at him for a moment he looked away, not entirely sure how to take that kind of talk from Vegeta. “Because I don’t ‘get out and about’ enough? Is this one of the only times I’ll be allowed outside?” he spoke up, narrowing his gaze, “For a smart guy, you certainly don’t word things very clearly…” He certainly did wonder if there was anything underlying in what he was saying or whether this really was just going to be a walk about without it being thought as one of his last outings. It was only Vegeta who knew how long he might have to enjoy freedom like this so there was always going to be that suspicious vibe to this strange social talk Vegeta was pulling off. Finding it difficult to respond from this kind of talk from Vegeta he gave him a glance when he decided to compare the planet to what he was already familiar with. “The only freedom I had on Earth was when you sent me off to guide the idiots to the rest of the Dragonballs. That certainly made it a lot harder to find appreciation for the planet to compare it to this one. If you didn’t catch me, I would had gotten my wish…”

Eslaria was all kinds of beside herself right now, not sure whether she should be mad, sad, happy or nervous. Her son was home, there was no doubting that, and he was back to his old self. Well, closer to his old self, he wasn't exactly the same but far closer than he had been when he left. That aside he even seemed happier than before, if not a bit on edge probably from coming home as he was. Ultimately her happiness won through and she had to just embrace T'charrl, almost as if to convince herself it wasn't some illusion. Solid, this was her real son, finally home from his journey. Whether it was a permanent return or not mattered little to the Queen, right now she was much too glad to see her child back to care. Chastising him a little for not calling she hugged him all the same, hiding her face briefly in the crook of his neck. "I can see that, my Prince... You don't have to tell me," the Queen remarked, lifting her head and smiling amused, "We missed you as well, a lot of people did. There will be quite a few who will be eager to know of your return." It was far from just her and her husband that had missed T'charrl, a good majority of their people did; the Prince was a hero to everyone who had learned of Garesh's deception. "See bud? I told you she was going to be happy!" Takeshi declared, grinning as he balled his hands into fists. "There was nothing to worry about!" This was great, the Queen was happy and so was their friend, everything had worked out. T'charrl's dad would no doubt be happy as well, and apparently loads of other people would be too. It was like L'esta had said, there were tons of folks waiting for the guy to return. Shu was all happy and excited moments ago and now his older brother was right there along with him. If things were good for their friend then they were good for him and Shu too; a happy friend meant they would be in better spirits as well. Watching the display Takeshi couldn't help but ponder about his and Shu's mother, and wonder if she might treat them the same way once they finally met. Had Shu forgotten about all that? Eh, not important right now, they had other things going on! Figuring it was probably best to keep out of the family moment for now Takeshi looked over at Shu, smirking and slinging his arm around his sibling's shoulders. "Makes you feel all warm and fuzzy, you know?" he asked, "We did something good, kind of nice isn't it?" Again with the stupid questions, this casual banter business was more difficult than he thought. "I have no problems speaking, Viral, perhaps I'm just asking the wrong questions..." Vegeta mumbled, realizing immediately he'd only confirmed the Beastman's doubts. Hm, well it wasn't as if he wasn't giving this an earnest effort. Mercifully Yumi was being quiet thus far, but knowing her she was bound to interject soon enough with her two cents and make him seem foolish by comparison. Perhaps he would be fortunate if Viral did find something to preoccupy himself, then he wouldn't have to make these botched attempts at holding a conversation. Fine with having silence settle in Vegeta may well have remained quiet if not for a remark on the Beastman's part, drawing his curiosity to a peak. "Gotten your wish...?" Vegeta repeated, raising an eyebrow. "I was not aware you had one in mind... Care to share what this wish of yours was?"

T’charrl was so afraid that she wasn’t going to accept his return so easily after his absence was for so long and his body wasn’t quite back to what it was. He was still strange looking compared to others of his kind even if the differences were few. His kind always relied on their appearance for everything social and now all these differences were either going to have to be hidden behind decoration and clothing or he was going to have to face up and say why he had them. He was scared of being seen as a freak, but at least his mother wasn’t freaking out over it. She already freaked out over his ability to talk to the dead before but this was definitely her keeping calm over it. Feeling a lot calmer over everything now that he was able to cuddle his mother he let out a sigh, his shoulders sinking slightly. “They are…? Do they know why I had to go or did you keep that a secret?” he asked up before sighing, shaking his head a little, “I shouldn’t ask silly questions…I mean, L’esta didn’t know who I was when he saw me first a-and I was a complete monster. I’ve not been like this for long. I failed to figure out how to change back by myself until I got back and I’m not even sure if I can remain this way all the time. People are going to notice I’m different…” Shu was relieved that everything seemed to be going well, it was pretty nice to see as well. Looking up to Takeshi he nodded his head quickly before bouncing on the spot, getting all excited. “It’s nice! Mothers certainly seem nice to have”, he giggled, wondering what they were supposed to do now in regards to showing themselves. He figured they could come out and say their hellos or he could wait until the Queen asked them to come in. He didn’t want to interrupt a nice little moment like this. If they were now going to be able to get food then that would be great for him, but he did wonder if they would ever be offered considering they just met and T’charrl hadn’t even been to the doctors yet. It would definitely be good for him to get a checkup, but T’charrl seemed so caught up in the moment. “Yeah! Fuzzy-warm! I hope everything is okay. They’ve been cuddling for a long time”, he nodded, slowly tilting his head, “It was good and it feels nice, yes. Will we get to say hello, though?” Viral grumbled at Vegeta’s response, not finding it to be a very valid answer. The guy just didn’t know how to talk to people it seemed or was trying to make conversation when there really wasn’t much of it in the first place. He didn’t feel like talking about the planet or what kind of day it was, especially when he was not able to focus on it very well. There was so much on his mind that was overwhelming his sense to what kind of day it was, his awareness barely on whether it was a nice clear day or if it might rain soon until he decided to look up. The kind of day it was really wasn’t in his mind to give a care about, but it definitely was something he should’ve appreciated in the first place. Looking up for a moment he soon looked back to Vegeta when he decided to question him on his wish, feeling a little angry. “Did you think I was just taking it for no reason?? Of course I had a wish in mind, maybe two!” he growled before huffing, shaking his head, “It doesn’t matter what it was. There’s never going to be a wish anymore. It was just some stupid…selfish wish. It was only dreams and dreams aren’t real, after all”.

"No one knows why you left except for a few of us, don't worry. I wasn't going to let everyone know what had happened," Eslaria explained, smiling as she finally released T'charrl. She had figured that her son had solved his issue given his appearance, but from the sounds of it that wasn't the case. It was true he wasn't even truly his old self still, with those strange orbs and other protrusions on his body, yet it was still closer than when she had last seen him. Now she could actually recognize him, and other people would be able to as well. "People might notice, yes, but they won't say anything if they know better," the Queen said with a smirk, "You're a champion for our people and the first to be able to travel outside of our world, remember that. If anyone does say anything know you're better than it and they're wrong." She was rather elated to see T'charrl, but she couldn't be all smiles. Looking over at L'esta her gaze narrowed slightly, and she took a small step forward as the Captain began smiling uneasily. "So you ran into my son and I assume confronted him? Or did you just happen to see a stranger and let them walk by aimlessly...?" Oh boy, this was exactly what L'esta had been dreading. Well, he couldn't lie to the Queen, he was much too loyal for that even if he was going to get into trouble for it. Standing at attention as she addressed him the Captain sighed, lowering his gaze before dropping to one knee and hanging his head. "Yes, Your Majesty, I'm afraid I did. I was unaware of his identity and treated him as I would any other unknown entity," he explained, lifting his head to look at Eslaria. All he was getting in return was a hard stare, making L'esta move uncomfortably in his spot before bowing his head again, "That's no excuse and I know it. I shouldn't have jumped to violence as quickly as I did, subdued him rather than attacked. It's my mistake --" He'd likely have continued to apologize had he not been smacked on the back of the head, groaning as he clasped his skull with his hands. Okay, he deserved that, probably more even for what he had done to T'charrl. Noticing the Queen moving back to her son the Captain rose to his feet, rubbing at his head gingerly as he did so. "An excellent welcome home gift, attacking your Prince! I've half the mind to do whatever you had done to him just as retribution, Captain. Be lucky I'm a little more patient with my son being home." T'charrl did appear fine now, to be fair, so she wasn't going to impose any immediate punishment. Placing two arms around her son protectively she glanced over at Shu, Takeshi and Haku curiously, wondering why they were so giddy. Odd children, and she didn't even know the third, but she supposed they did what she had asked; not everything was back to normal, but it was a great deal better than before. "You three!" Eslaria snapped, watching at least Haku and Takeshi jump, "I should thank you all for helping the Prince. Will you stay for a meal to celebrate his coming home?" Takeshi couldn't help but feel envious of T'charrl, even when he tried to pay no mind to it. There was the itching urge to try and seek out their own again, but he knew there was a lot that needed to be done before he and Shu could even attempt a search again. There were matters to take care of here on Kaesstra, then with their father and who knows what else may come up. "Yeah... Having a mom around would be awesome," the older boy mumbled, smiling a bit as he nodded to himself. T'charrl appeared real happy to be home so it was probably best the rest of them wait at the door; no reason to barge in and ruin the moment. Things happened to change a little bit when the Queen started questioning L'esta, and Takeshi had a pretty darn good idea where it was going. Cringing when the Captain was hit he looked over at Shu, smiling nervously. "I'm sure we'll get to say hi soon..." he began, jumping when Eslaria yelled at them. Looking over like a deer in the headlights Takeshi paused for a second when he realized they were being invited to a meal, relaxing and nodding his head. "Uh... Yeah! Of course we will! Is T'charrl okay with some friends coming along too?" Though stealing the Dragonball had happened quite some time ago this was the first that had been said of any wish. In retrospect it made perfect sense, as what other reason would Viral have stolen it? Out of spite perhaps, though Vegeta never knew the Beastman to be a very spiteful person. Okay then, so he had a wish, but just what was it? "It does too matter what it was, and I'm curious now. You can't bring it up and then not explain it to us," Vegeta said, frowning as he folded his arms. "If you had explained this to me prior I may even have helped you, rather than punish you by sending you off. I do wish you wouldn't be so opposed to seeking my help when I've made it clear I'm willing to give it." "You never told anyone you had a wish, Viral. I'm with Vegeta, we could have helped you get it fulfilled," Yumi added, smiling as she tucked her hands behind her back. "Your wish wasn't selfish, or stupid. It was yours, that makes it special. Everyone had a wish probably, I mean look at Shu and Takeshi. They were going to wish to see their mother, and that's only something they would really enjoy, don't you think? But I still don't consider that selfish because it would have made them happy, and that's good enough for me. So if your wish made you happy I wouldn't have minded at all." It wasn't impossible to say Viral still couldn't have his wish granted. Sure, Earth's Dragonballs were out of commission for a while yet, but the Namekian Dragonballs were up for use. Reviving Vegeta's parents would use two wishes, but they still had a third, didn't they? "Dreams can be made real if you work for it, or wish for it, in this case," Yumi said cheerfully, "Go on, tell us. What was it you were wanting to wish for?"
