Shu hoped Viral wasn’t becoming something like he did when under stress, seeing as how everybody was afraid of him doing that and this could be the same deal. He couldn’t quite understand why it happened but knew it was a bad thing and definitely something nobody should let happen. He was scared that they might lose their friend forever, especially when they were told his illness might get worse overtime. This was definitely at a bad point, seeing him forget who he was essentially. Walking along with Takeshi in hand, he looked up to him and nodded, “Big striped kitty”, he spoke, scratching his ribs with his free hand. If Viral had changed into one of those kitties then Vegeta was going to have a hard time on his hands. Who knew how to change someone from a cat back into a person, especially when Viral was not like other people he’d met, “I hope you’re right…and I hope I get fruit! I miss fruit already, even if it’s only been a little while!”

Viral wanted things his own way, not some female’s way with her getting close to him and trying to please him. He didn’t want to be seduced by her, he just wanted to eat and be by himself. Keeping away from her, he slowly lowered his paws before passively licking at his claws, deciding to groom himself with the fishy smell still on them. Despite them being a lot bigger, he didn’t take much notice apart from the weight to which he wasn’t really used to. Taking his time to groom himself, he grunted when Yumi opted to grasp onto him. He heard her putting on a purring sound again, but with her holding onto him like that it didn’t really matter; she was still grasping onto him and invading his personal space. Ears twitching at what she was saying, he raised his paws before trying to push her down to the ground in a sort of tackle. He didn’t sound aggressive as he growled, but he was frustrated and even went to trying to bat her a few times, hissing.
