Shu tilted his head, staring at Takeshi curiously before nodding, “Uh huh! Mister Viral got a lot of poking and he was all silly and drooly”, he spoke, rubbing his hands together a little nervously. He didn’t like a lot of the stuff that went on and Viral got the brunt of it, probably sparing himself because they didn’t want to damage the King’s son too much while Viral wasn’t the least bit related. Feeling a little lost in thought, he squeaked a little when he noticed Takeshi was looking through his hair, turning to look at him when he stopped, “Ooh? You grooming me?” he asked curiously, looking happy over the possibility, “Grooming Shu? I washed all nice and clean like you told me to, I didn’t hurt my head…” Feeling pretty happy now, he picked up the suitcase and waved it around casually before moving over to T’charrl, giving his arm a little tug, “Come, friend! I’m happy and you should be happy too!” Moving after Takeshi, he bounced along quite happily, keeping a tight hold of the money, “Shark? Swim? I remember you helping me to swim; my clan don’t know how to swim either, so I didn’t know how to swim and learning to swim was fun”.

Viral felt incredibly lazy, unable to find the strength to combat Yumi in his struggle to be independent and find out what was causing that strange imagery. For a while there he really did thought it was their spirits trying to leave them, but it seemed it wasn’t and he was right to investigate. He didn’t know what was happening to him or what was causing his mind to project such strange imagery, but otherwise he didn’t care because he wasn’t in the right mind to care. Looking slowly up to Yumi again, he sighed as he moved to hold onto her, not having any sort of care to what he looked like as he grasped his fingers around her shoulders and held on tight. Staring down once they finally took off, he took little notice of the road ahead and instead stared downwards at the passing colours and waves as they headed on off to wherever she had said they were heading.

Shu had decided to take Nimbus again as they headed on back to Roshi’s place, the suitcase having been dropped off at Takeshi’s house and T’charrl now not pretending to be a giant ghost. Finally arriving back at Kame House, Shu bounced off Nimbus and briefly shook himself with T’charrl landing not too far off either, both of them looking particularly refreshed after eating those smoothies. With Roshi looking completely out of it, Shu let out a squeal when the mug was shattered by Takeshi, feeling a little intimidated by the sudden noise. Moving off towards T’charrl, he stood close beside him with a frown on his face as Roshi finally woke up. Giving a little wave, he looked towards Yumi and Viral, hoping everything was going to be okay between Roshi and Viral.

Viral wasn’t sure what he was doing here, but of course he didn’t have much of a mind right now. He was very mellow and there was very little going through his mind despite knowing where he was and what he was doing here. Feeling pretty empty inside, he stood around with a gentle sway before his eyes went to Yumi and Roshi when Yumi let out a yelp. Not fully seeing what happened, he kept his eyes focused on the pair right up until Roshi approached him and stood right close to him. Staring at him a moment, he soon let out a low growl and grabbed hold of Roshi’s shirt before making an attempt to throw him away with a sudden aggressive toss with little care to whether he was old and possibly frail like he appeared.
