Takeshi wasn't quite sure how they were supposed to change Viral back. Yumi had done it before, that much he knew, but even then he wasn't sure how. Surely Vegeta had something in mind once they asked him, he knew how Viral worked better than anyone else. Hopefully this wasn't some berserk change and they hadn't just left Yumi in danger, she seemed to be handling it well so far. Once out of the room Shu was given the choice to go to the ramp instead, it would take a bit longer but then they wouldn't agitate his claustrophobia. Quirking an eyebrow Takeshi smiled slightly, starting to pull his sibling along, "So Viral sounds like a tiger? Or a lion, something like that?" He'd never heard one personally, it definitely did sound like a big cat though. Had their friend gone and changed into one then? Weird, he knew Viral could change, but not into a kitty. "Yeah, everything is going to be just fine. Vegeta will fix this and then we'll be back home before you know it, and we can play and eat all the fruit you want." Hopefully it was going to be okay. If this was a new form for Viral then something might be wrong, and he may need to be locked up or bound for everyone's safety. No one wanted to see him caged, but if he went nuts then that was a possibility.

Yumi hadn't shirked back after being struck, the dark was doing that to her. Being hit was nothing compared to the pitch black that surrounded them, and her heightened senses did nothing to alleviate it. She wanted to be close to Viral if nothing else for her own sanity, but he seemed intent on keeping away. Perhaps if she did something to keep him around then he'd stay, so she tried scratching his ear. For a moment he was quite content, even going as far to place one of his hands on hers and holding it there. Then yet again he moved away, seeming startled as he backed off. She couldn't see him at all but heard him well enough, and was able to keep an eye on him that way. Frowning she rose to her feet, standing where she was for a moment while listening for any signs of danger. He wasn't really growling angrily, it sounded more confused if she had to put a name to it. Slowly she approached Viral, reaching out blindly until her hand found his arm. With a meek smile Yumi moved closer, opting now instead to try the same thing she had before. Wrapping her arms around Viral's torso she rested her head upon his chest, relaxing herself now that she was in contact with someone. Another purr escaped from her throat but she didn't care as much, just glad not to be as frightened. "It's okay Viral, I'm not going to hurt you, I'm your friend."
