Ikura didn't particularly want to discuss the RRA, so he let the topic die then and there. Troubles with that unfavorable set of folk had continued to this day, for both Viral and himself. It was in part the reason that he moved about so much, as not to be found by those cretins. The doctor thought it best to keep that detail from the Beastman, lest he only cause Viral even further distress. "Being given orders and having a purpose do not go hand in hand. You can find your purpose on your own, sometimes it just takes a bit of searching." Or a lot of searching, life sometimes took quite a while to settle out. Difficult as it may be Viral had to try if he ever truly wanted to be happy. Giving his chin a thoughtful rub Ikura glanced up at Viral, a knowing smile spreading across his thin lips. "You think fighting is your sole reason for existing, no? Well what if we found a way for you to make a life out of it? When you're not battling there could be other outlets. For example... You know martial arts, do you not? What if you became an instructor? You could be the teacher that brings for the next generation of Earth's heroes for all we know!"

"Your people's body language...? Erm..." The images that came to mind hardly thrilled Takeshi. He imagined a typical monkey scratching itself all over, eating bugs and flinging poo. None of that exactly enticed him, not that Shu's way of life typically did anyways. Smiling slightly he shrugged his shoulders, rubbing at the back of his neck sheepishly. "You know... Maybe I can learn some of that. Later though, we've got other things to focus on right now. Like the party, and your training." The longer he could put off playing monkey the better, he figured. He could even pull some techniques out of his pocket once Shu got Ki down just to keep him preoccupied. Thus far the party was alright, not that Takeshi was the expert at parties. Honestly he was just slightly better versed than Viral most likely, only having the absolute basic ideas of how they worked. His temporary dejection with Shu put a real damper on his mood, and he rather felt like making amends. Just because he had been annoyed didn't mean he should have done that, it wasn't very nice. Cringing slightly the older boy smiled sadly, averting his eyes. "You're good at plenty Shu, I was mean and shouldn't have said that... But thanks," he replied, chuckling a bit, "You'll be my little rock shield from now on."

"This entire day is yours Viral, the time is used as you please. Everyone knows this, no one is going to think you selfish if you choose to wait to do things." Were it a child's party then cake would probably be a bit more of a priority, little kids loved sweets. Seeing as everyone here were adults, well, save for the two Saiyan boys and their alien friend it wasn't quite the case. Ikura assumed most people would be totally fine not even having cake, it was more of a ritualistic thing with birthday parties, not really a requirement though. Spotting an approaching figure the doctor smiled, stepping to the side to let him speak with Viral.

Albert hadn't been quite certain what to expect of Viral, having heard a great many things about him. He knew of course of the slight bout he had a little over a year ago, and to a lesser extent his events prior to that. The man was a friend of Ikura's after all and the Beastman had been a regular topic of discussion, if only for pure curiosity's sake. There was no ulterior motive with the philanthropist, he was simply intrigued. "Ikura and I have discussed you in the past, a few times admittedly. I've been extremely eager to meet you in person, and I must say I am not disappointed in the slightest!" To think this man was an artificial life, he seemed as natural as anything. Sure, some unusual features were he human, but even then he was close enough to pass off as one. "Don't you worry Viral, I certainly don't expect to get a request here and now. I'm merely putting it out there, I'm always around if you should ever need anything," Albert repeated, fishing into his jacket. Pulling out a card with the "Child's Play" logo on it he handed it over, smiling kindly, "Call me whenever you may need something. I'm afraid most of my aid will be in the form of finances or work opportunity, none of which our young Vegeta would have trouble supplying, but nonetheless I'll be here."

Ikura exchanged a brief dialogue with Albert before he went off to fetch a drink, leaving the trio of men standing alone once more. That had gone nicely, it was certainly helpful having sincere individuals like that around. Looking to Viral he folded his hands behind his back with a smile, "So, shall I find another person to speak with for you? Not everyone here may be as forthcoming as he was, but they all do hold you in a certain light. Don't be wary of them, even if they are strangers."
