Ikura put his hands up defensively, offering an apologetic smile as he nodded his head. "A poor suggestion, please pardon me. It's just one of the ways we can address PTSD, though certainly not the only one. We'll skip over that option." They still had other viable routes to take, the others didn't involve re-exposing Viral either. Regardless of what path they did ultimately choose he was going to at the very least have to speak about it. That was the one constant in any case, they couldn't escape that fact. However they went about this the fact of the matter was counseling was desperately needed. Viral was quite depressed, borderline major depressive disorder even. Things would only get worse the longer they sat, Ikura knew they had to fix it here and now, if at all possible. Or at the very least begin the process of recovery. "Put up with you? That suggests they're reluctant, and that's not the case. They care about you Viral, and they always will. True, they may not know how to help you, but that doesn't diminish their concern. If anything it makes them even more concerned. And having others care about you is nothing to feel guilty for or be ashamed of. It's a sign that others love you."

Now for the part Ikura would much rather avoid altogether; Prescribing medication to Viral. It was the option he nearly always avoided, yet given their limited time and number of sessions there was no escaping it. The pills would not be an instant fix, therapy would still be required to an extent, but it was better than nothing. This was all provided too of course that there were no adverse side effects. "The food does not have to be solid, if that's your issue. Apple sauce or something of the likes will suffice," the doctor replied, smiling kindly. "Or even some kind of nutritious beverage. Really you just need something else in your stomach to help the medicine dissolve and spread. Talk with Vegeta about it when we're done here, I'm certain he'll know what to give you." This meeting had been far too short, but there was no helping other arrangements. Ikura couldn't in good conscience put off other patients for Viral no matter how much he wanted to stay and talk. "And that is why I intend on hearing them all before we're through. I'll do as much as I can for you, Viral. We'll make some headway, I'm certain of it."

Ah, there! A nice stomach full of food had served to pep Takeshi up pretty well. No doubt after they finished with training he'd be sprawled out on the couch fast asleep, but for the time being he was geared and ready to go. At last having some time to themselves the older boy figured it was good an opportunity as any to train Shu a bit, and T'charrl as well. Both of them needed to learn some energy control, and they could do a little sparring as well. Just because it was downtime didn't mean they weren't going to stay active, he'd probably go nuts if they didn't do at least a little bit. Considering they were going to be using Ki attacks, and Shu's illustrious history with them, Takeshi had taken the precaution of leading both his brother and the Kaesstrian a fair ways from his home, though still on his property. Out by the forest now he smiled at the others, standing with his back to the trees. 

"Alright guys, here's where we'll do our lessons! Now, I figure there's three areas we can go over to practice on," he began, raising a finger for each point, "We can do energy attacks, flight, or sensing energy. I figure we can do one or all of them, whatever you two want to do." Kind of a shame that no one else was out here, it would be nice to have a variety in training. Really aside from the regular basic attacks he'd picked up Takeshi only had one move of his own, and it was hardly worth passing on to someone. Then again they were here to learn basics anyways so there wasn't a whole ton of need for variety. "Why don't you two vote on what you want to start with? If it's a tie I'll be the tie breaker, fair enough?"
