Shu was probably a lot more worried by the situation than Takeshi was, seeing as how he had his fair share of wild encounters and he knew how bad it was when someone went so out of their mind they went feral. When he lived in the jungle, anybody in his clan who went vicious had to be either kicked out or killed and that was never pleasant to witness. Looking up at Takeshi, he frowned a little before looking towards the door, holding onto Takeshi’s hand as he got rid of the Ki and lead them out of the room, “Maybe somehow get light too when Mister Viral is all calm again”, he nodded, looking up at him again, “He sounded like a big kitty that eats big creatures…” Looking up and down the corridor, he tilted his head a little before squeaking, “Ooh! Ramp! Adventure?” he asked, pointing down the corridor, “Everything should be fine if we do, right? We were already far away from him, so maybe that way will bring us closer?”

Viral wasn’t distraught over the additional large paws, but knowing Yumi was pretty close to him when it happened made him lash out. She shouldn’t be near his food, not while all this was happening to him and he was as hungry as he was just now. He was still changing on the inside, his genes switching on a different set of lights as it were. It was a good thing they were on the last leg of their journey, otherwise this would had been a very bad predicament Viral had landed himself in. After hitting Yumi, he growled lowly, pressing his large paws on the floor as his claws practically carved into it as he stared straight at her, sensing her fear from the dark.

He didn’t have any problem with the dark, he could see her as clear as day and yet he wanted to stay in it to hide himself from the others, his mind recognising that as the last thought he had before it reverted to its feral state. Raising his claws slowly again, he watched her carefully as she reached out to him only to touch his ear instead, twitching it at first before groaning as she scratched behind him. Leaning towards her hand, his other ear flicked a few times before he closed his eyes, finding it oddly relaxing. Slowly leaning towards her some more, his large paw slowly moved up to her hand, almost holding it in place for a moment before suddenly, making a quick backpedal he immediately stumbled to his feet. Growling lowly, his paws moved to his head as he stumbled around a little, his paws now a lot heavier than before and making him feel unbalanced. He was struggling to fight against the possible aggressor that was Yumi, his thought process immediately going to the possibility that she was just wanting his food and yet she was hard to resist.
