"Well all the more reason to make new pictures, right? You'll want to remember this I'm sure!" If they didn't commemorate his "first" birthday then Yumi didn't feel they were doing it right. Kind of odd to think of this as Viral's first celebration, he was older than she was. "I suppose you're right, I can't know for certain if they're here for food or not. But hey, there's at least two dozen people here. Even if only two showed up really to see you, plus all of us, that means there's seven people that really want to celebrate with you. Actually..." she paused, looking around the room, "It should be nine, but I don't know where the others are. They should be here pretty soon though." Wonder what might be holding Ikura up, the man should be here by now. He had said something about picking up a gift on the way, so that probably had him caught up. Goodness knows what had Master Roshi preoccupied, she didn't think she wanted to know. 

Holding off on presents was probably a good idea, it made sense to do them after the food anyways. In that case they should really try to find something else to preoccupy themselves, which wasn't easy. Viral wasn't exactly what one would call social, so talking to people was likely out of the question. They were a little old for games, so that wouldn't work either. "So you want me to tell you what to do? I can do that, I suppose. And presents really should come after food, usually. Like I said though, it's your birthday, so you can decide what it is you want to do first." Viral didn't seem too enthusiastic about being left to his own devices however, he definitely wanted some direction. "Hm... It's too early to sing, and we don't have games to play, let's see..." Cupping her chin in her hand Yumi glanced up when two people approached them, an elderly man and woman. She recognized them vaguely, they were an older couple who were friends of the family if she remembered right. Nice enough, though she hadn't spent very much time around them.

"Ooooh, look at how big you've grown, my word..." the woman remarked, smiling kindly as she glanced up at Viral. "Why... Last time we saw you, you were barely up to my hip. Now you tower over me!" That had been quite a while ago, they had been pretty well away since the unfortunate accident here. They were fully aware of the circumstances around it, or at least knew enough who had supposedly killed Aito and June. Yet there wasn't an ounce of resentment or discontent in their faces, only cheer and joy. Pulling one of her hands out of her sleeve the lady reached up, pinching one of Viral's cheeks with a happy laugh. "You're quite the big boy now! My my, time sure does fly!"

The old man smiled happily alongside his wife, nodding his head in agreement. "We've been away much too long, it's a pleasure to see you again Viral." Looking up at the Beastman he finally remembered himself, bowing his head politely as he took of his hat. "My name is Masao, and this darling flower is my wife Shiori. It's quite alright if you don't remember us, we haven't been by in quite some time after all!" Looking at his wife he chuckled softly, grabbing her arm to pull her hand away with a meek smile. "Now now dear, you're going to tear the boy's poor face off."

"Oh hush you, I was just being nice," Shiori replied, smiling as she playfully swatted at her husbands hand. Looking back at Viral she took a turn to bow slightly, "I'm sure you're a busy man, so we'll let you get on with your day. Happy birthday again my dear!"

Trying to explain the concept of time and years to Shu was not a feat Takeshi was willing or ready to undertake. Even if he started at the beginning of this week he was skeptical he'd make it clear enough for Shu before they had to leave again. "Sixteen isn't that much I guess, you're pretty young still," he answered, pausing and giving Shu a funny look. "You... Can't count...? Uh..." Well now that was a little worrying. There had been times where Shu had been given money to get things and returned with them in hand, and now Takeshi wondered just how much his brother had overpaid. Heh, probably not letting the little guy go grocery shopping anytime soon. Time to add how to count to the ever expanding list of things Shu had to learn. With a topic change to desserts the young boy was once again all springy with excitement, clearly wanting a sweet to sink his teeth into. Smiling exasperatedly Takeshi waved his hands, "Woah, relax Shu, we haven't even had the meal yet. Food first, then cake okay?" Filling Shu with loads of sugar and icing, was that really such a good idea? Oh boy, they could have a super hyperactive monkey child on their hands soon. "We'll see what they have tonight, alright? And then maybe if I remember it we'll pick up a fruit pie at some point before we leave, sound good?"
