"Viral? I don't know really, that's for Vegeta to decide. I mean the guy seems grumpy and all, sure, but I don't see why he can't be alone." Takeshi responded, shrugging his shoulders again, "And to be fair he never exactly hung out with us before, you know? I'm pretty convinced he hates me and he just basically ignores you, so it's not like he's had a ton of reason to spend time with us. Even when I offer to train with him or something he doesn't want to do it." Getting Viral to do much of anything as of late was a real chore, though in a small way Takeshi could understand why. If it was anything like when he and Shu had been separated, all the anxiousness and distress that he'd felt, then it was easy to see why the Beastman didn't like doing much anything, even things he'd normally enjoy. "We can try all the same, but don't hold your breath for him to come along. I'm betting we won't see him until we actually get back to the ship." Which might be a while, probably past that curfew Vegeta had set. Not that Takeshi was paying much mind to that anyways, they had way too much they wanted to do to stick to some schedule. For instance, they should be coming up to the doctor any second now, and who knows how long that might take. "Say... T'charrl? Do you really think this guy can help you? We can always ask Vegeta, you know."

Haku wasn't sure when he should be calling the others, or if he was even the best one for it. If Shu or Takeshi were to call, or even T'charrl for that matter he could see someone answering, himself not so much. There wasn't much reason for anyone to hear him out, but he'd volunteered and been asked so he was going to give it a try. Reaching up and turning on his scouter he frowned for a moment as he tried to remember how to operate it; Vegeta designed his scouters differently than the Saiyans generally did, so it was like relearning the device all over again. Since everyone was on the same channel you couldn't really call just a single person, though it would only go through to those who had theirs active at the time. Praying that Viral and the others had theirs in use he pressed the call button, slowing his pace a bit so he wouldn't have to talk over the Princes. "Uh... Hello...? Vegeta? Yumi? Um... Viral? Anyone there?" There was a good chance he may just be outright ignored, especially since no one he was trying to call had any real reason to actually respond. If they didn't then someone else could call, he'd given it a try at least.

Yumi wasn't too certain where Viral had vanished to, only that he was still in the bushes. Had he run off Vegeta would have spotted him, meaning he was lurking somewhere down here with her. She tried to sniff her friend out again but found the bushes had a pretty strong odor to themselves, something with a mix between minty and bitter, if she was guessing right. Wrinkling her nose at the smell she let out a sigh, seeing no other way of getting Viral out other than by forfeiting the chase. She really wanted to know what his wish was, but if he was refusing to tell them then there was little that could be done in the way of changing his mind. She'd hoped that by calling it off Viral would come out, yet he was still not showing himself. Giving a frown she began to move out of the bushes only to freeze when she heard rustling, turning around to see if it was Viral. It was, but what in the world was he doing? Eyes widening upon realization Yumi lifted up her arms, giving a soft "oomph" when she was knocked to the ground, the Beastman on top of her. Squirming beneath the weight of her friend she looked up at him confused, trying to push him off of her. "Ugh... Viral! I said I was done! What are you doing?"
