This was a very delicate situation, Viral could very well attack them if they weren't careful. Knowing how guilty he'd feel later Yumi took it upon herself to help him, figuring she had the best chance to being useful. She'd brought him down from one of these manic highs before, she could do it again. Only this time hugging him probably wasn't going to work out too well, she probably couldn't even get close enough. She needed a means to appease Viral and have him relax, and she figured she knew the way. It was utterly humiliating, but what do felines typically enjoy? Well, yarn and fish, but she couldn't physically be either of those. Other felines however, she might just be able to pull that one off. She wasn't sure if it would even work, but it was the first thing that came to mind. Maybe if he could relate with her he'd not be so aggressive, letting her get near enough to try and soothe him. Crouched down on all fours she emitted a soft growl, sounding fairly feline to her surprise. It came with her new changes, she supposed. Normally a burden she was finding it quite useful now however as Viral seemed to calm down a bit.

Or maybe not calm down, but it did something. She couldn't see him still, but she heard him move and then the thump, cocking her head to the side in confusion. She wasn't quite certain what that had been, but she figured it was progress. Viral had moved closer to her at this point, away from his food, so at least he wasn't being so possessive. Still he sounded uneasy, giving her a warning noise in the form of hisses and growls. Oh this was just weird, but now she was moving herself closer slowly, keeping herself low to try and seem submissive. She'd seen cats do this before, amongst other things... Other things she really hoped weren't going to come of this. All she had to do was play nice and make Viral warm up to her, then they could help him. When she got a little closer Yumi stopped where she was, crouched near low enough to be against the floor. Her face was a bright red at this point and she felt utterly ridiculous, but it looked to be working. Letting out another soft growl followed by a purr she lifted her head a bit, smiling at Viral in hopes he'd take the bait and come over.
