Viral was definitely unsure about her or what was going on, his mindset stuck between two polar opposites with one in particular struggling to gain dominance. There was nothing he could do to prevent it, his mind had changed through what felt like a headache before to animal-like since finding a retreat. He would have to give into it if he wasn’t going to suffer anymore and Yumi was helping him with that, his genes needing to find a place to settle so that they wouldn’t be so aggressive; however, he was very stubborn and with each uneasy shake the longer he was holding it in, trying to keep it at bay like a big nasty hairball. He was back on only his feet again as Yumi turned in his direction once more, his claws flexing as they slowly changed from pointed sharp claws to hooked retractable ones. He was getting curious at this point, but still he felt threatened as he stared at her from beyond the darkness.

Lowering his head a little, he stared at her uneasily all while thinking about leaping at her again if she got too close. She was the only one of them acting like this, acting in a way that he was recognising fairly well. Slowly lowering down again, his eye twitched slightly as he slowly moved around her again, stalking her all while watching her actions. She looked submissive, his claws slowly scratching against the floor as he twitched slightly, his ear flapping as if something suddenly snapped in his mind. She was a coward, the signals she was sending all being too obvious. Growling lowly, he slowly raised up again, jumping back towards his food and instead sat down, picking up a half-eaten fish and slowly eating it with his eyes well off Yumi.
