"No... But I warmed up to you didn't I? And the only people that don't like you are the bad people, and you wouldn't want them liking you anyways, would you?" There had been aliens all over the universe thus far who adored Shu, so it stood to reason their mother would like him. If complete strangers could like him then definitely his own parent would too... Father withholding. It was kind of curious that neither of them had ever heard from their mother's before, and it wasn't as though their entry into the World Martial Arts tournament had been secret. When news of Saiyans signing up spread attendance had peaked and then some, most of the world had known. Takeshi liked to think somehow their mother had just missed the message though, maybe she was like him and lived somewhere away from all of that. Whatever the case he was hopeful she was still back on Earth, more than ready to meet them. "Mom's going to love you, I just know it. Just be yourself, everyone ends up liking you sooner or later." Korian didn't know why Viral transformed to begin with, and the Beastman saw fit to shed some light on the situation. They Beastman had been in fairly big trouble in terms of well being, he'd taken a lot of damage, so it made sense kind of. Not completely unlike a Saiyan's Zenkai. That was after the battle though, they did not have the luxury of a power boost in the middle of a fight. He supposed too losing control of oneself for Viral was not unlike an untrained Saiyan child losing control as an Oozaru. They were not held at fault for that, it was a lack of training and experience which brought that about. Thinking of it that way then Korian could be a little more sympathetic of Viral's plight. "I won't lie and say saving you was my priority. I did and always do put my troops first, making sure they're not in any danger that cannot be helped. I saw you as a threat and acted upon it, in a way that was unseemly." Hearing the bit about family left the Commander a bit confused, he wasn't quite certain how to reply to that. Nor was he the most empathetic person, so he didn't really know how to go about consoling or reassuring Viral. Instead he simply cleared his throat awkwardly, averting his gaze for a moment. "Family isn't a luxury I have, so I count my fellow warriors among those ranks. In that sense I suppose, in an estranged way, we're family. Which makes my actions all the more unforgivable. As I said, name whatever you feel helps make amends and I'll grant it." Those words immediately came back to bite Korian in the rear. He had said anything within reason, and figured that was a decent enough means of making amends. What Viral requested, nay, demanded was pushing it a little bit. Not only did he casually make a threat towards the troops but he also asked for quite a bit in turn. Wanting to put this business behind them the Commander was nearly inclined to agree, were it not such a large request being made. They took great pride in what they had, and while he did want to help giving free reign over their facilities and resources kind of crossed a personal line with him. The access was one thing entirely, but then Viral also wanted pardons for anything he might do in the future. Should he ever go out of line then Korian would be bound by this contract of theirs and be unable to act. However... The stipulation of having the Princes and their friends as allies almost made that worth it. Nevertheless it wasn't an easy decision to make, and with a sigh Korian rubbed at his face with both hands. If he wanted any kind of alliance he would need to agree, and he was certain Viral was well aware of this fact. "Very well... We'll keep our facilities open for you should you ever need them, and I'll be more lenient in the future. But this doesn't mean we're going to make house calls. We've got a war to fight, if you need us come to us."
