It was hard to argue for Doctor Ikura's sake, no one had seen him since Viral's being put under, and that was years ago. The man was well and alive however, unless all of Vegeta's employees were somehow sorely mistaken. Even if the doctor's disappearance had been questionable there was a trail to follow, and what was known of him was good. He'd traveled around the world helping out in various places, using his knowledge of bio-engineering quite effectively. As Vegeta understood there was even a prototype medicine being developed that could help cure paralysis, one that was very nearly reaching its completion, all stemming from Ikura's research. While in comparison to the 'magic' of Saiyan healing systems this was a massive leap for humanity in terms of medical science. Surely a man who has been working on things like that couldn't be all bad, right? There was confidence in his father's associate, he just hoped that confidence wasn't misplaced.

"You had one instance and it's been forgiven, believe me. Maybe some people are going to be uneasy of you, that I can't fix. But hey..." Vegeta paused as they got to the base of the stairwell, turning to look at Viral. "People are afraid of me, and Shu and Takeshi, because we're part Saiyan. Not everyone is fond of Goku's legacy you know, some people really don't like what his race could mean for us. And frankly, after meeting our people neither do I." The rebels and those born here on Earth were an exception to the rule, and a rare one at that. He couldn't say for certain what the home planet was like, but if the Elites and even their subordinates were any hint then Saiyans were not a pleasant people as a whole. Beginning to climb the stairs Vegeta fished out a PDA from his pocket, going through arranging funds to the hospital to pay for their taking a room. "They'll look at you funny because people are confused when they see something they don't understand, it's normal. It doesn't mean they dislike you, there's just not exactly a whole lot of Beastmen like you around. In fact... If we count Yumi now there's only the two of you."

"I'm not that much of a Beastman!" Yumi retorted, her cheeks flushing slightly. "Just because I have ears like a cat and stronger senses doesn't make me a Beastman." Looking over at Viral then she smiled sheepishly, folding her hands in front of her. "Not that anything's wrong with being one. Don't get me wrong, it's just I don't really consider myself one. I'm more of a human with some changes, I guess." Or that was maybe her way of explaining herself. At this point she wasn't entirely certain what category she fell under anymore, not quite fitting into either or. Albeit Beastmen were a pretty broad spectrum, especially considering there was only one to go off of. Humans were different, even if they were all classified the same, so it wasn't so far fetched that she could be a Beastman too despite not resembling Viral. Yumi followed right along to the closest empty room, 209, standing beside the door as she let Vegeta finish whatever it was he was doing on his PDA. "The ears have been kind of handy," she added, smiling at Viral. "Let's me hear all sorts of things that I couldn't before. Kind of fun, I can eavesdrop if I wanted to."

"You shouldn't be, and you know that," Vegeta chastised, putting away his device. Getting a childish reaction out of Yumi he smirked, opening the door to the room they were going to be using. All of convenience of being a CEO was nice in a way, getting entrance to places like this and having funds and resources readily available. It was awfully easy going around the city when you had access to those things, but it came at a price. Not only was he not much for proper conduct as far as a CEO was concerned but the publicity he could certainly do without. He was a scientist, not a celebrity, yet he was hounded like one sometimes. The idea had come to mind of being rid of the company, just let someone else take over and deal with all the nonsense. Turns out however Viral wasn't very fond of that idea. "So you're going to corner me in with that, hm...?" Vegeta mused, looking over at Viral. Smiling slightly he sighed, shaking his head as he moved to stand against the wall. "I'll stay with the company then, if it pleases you. I just hope you can stomach my bickering from time to time."
