Sweets, conversation aside, were the furthest thing from Takeshi's mind right now. What he really wanted was some seared fish, and it looked like there was a nice big helping of swordfish just waiting for him to take. Rubbing his hands together as he smiled eagerly the older boy started towards the table, pausing as his brother asked him yet another question. "If we can find some you can certainly try them, sure." he answered, looking back at the food. Oh that all smelled so tasty, shame they were going to have to watch how much they ate. He didn't have to start moving for the food again, Shu was right there bringing him along, grabbing his arm and yanking him almost off his feet. Making a faint noise in surprise Takeshi stumbled along, stopping as they reached a pair of seats by the head of the table. Those seats had been reserved for the main group of friends, the rest of the guests were scattered around the other spots. Taking his spot on the end so Shu and T'charrl could sit side by side the Saiyan grabbed his plate, looking at the trays curiously. Looks like everyone was going to be served, that was annoying. "What we do is up to Viral, it's his party." Takeshi looked over to Shu, smiling as he reached up and ruffled his sibling's hair. "When we get back again let's throw you a party, yeah? Just us and our friends." "We'll work on remembering them later, don't worry so much about that now. What matters is they showed up, and they remember you." Positively as well, they wouldn't have come otherwise. It was a trivial matter far as Vegeta was concerned, albeit he couldn't say that aloud, it clearly bothered Viral. Food was set and people were moving to their seats, so with small hints of urgency he moved Viral to his spot down at the head of the table. Putting him on the spot like this couldn't be thrilling, though it was all part of the party, he had to understand that. "You're supposed to enjoy yourself. Let everyone be happy for you and do whatever you please, more or less. It's your day, you decide." He hadn't meant to be as dismissive as Yumi was, but that was the truth of it. Birthdays were meant to be spent as the person who was celebrating wanted, no one else could tell them what to do. Waiting until everyone was sat down in their seats Vegeta stood behind his chair, holding up a hand to get the waiters to hold off for a moment. Picking up his glass he smiled, looking right to Viral as he spoke. "I just want to thank everyone who showed up today, and I'm sure Viral wants to as well. Before we eat I just want to wish him a happy birthday again, and if you'd all join me..." "Happy birthday Viral!" Another round of shouts and the clinging of glasses, coupled with a short burst of applause sounded off. Once that was done Vegeta took his seat and the servers finally began to pass around the trays. For the most part people were taking relatively little food, no one had that much of an appetite. That could be in part the amount of goodies that the Saiyans and their friends were all grabbing for themselves. Goodness knows the other guests were going to be sick just watching them eat all of that. Attention had perhaps graciously shifted off of Viral at this point as groups broke into their own little private conversations, everyone looked to be having a rather good time. Takeshi was happily munching away at a nearly whole piece of swordfish, and Yumi was chewing away at a bunch of seared scallops and scallions. A little unexpected too was a bit of music that began to play, just some calming classic songs to keep the atmosphere relaxed and carefree. Takeshi stuffed his mouth near to the point to bursting with food, chewing happily before swallowing it all in one big gulp. Sighing contentedly he gave his stomach a pat, looking across at Viral cheerfully. "Hey, happy birthday Viral!" he said, grabbing another piece and popping it in his mouth like candy. "Mmm... Yummy birthday food! We have to do this more often!" "I'm sure you're probably tired of hearing it by now, but happy birthday," Yumi added, sending a smile Viral's way as well. "Hope you're having an okay time at least. Have some of the food, it's really yummy, like the scallops!" If he didn't take any then that was just fine too, she could gladly eat them all.
