"You could say fruit is prey too, couldn't you?" Takeshi pointed out, smirking at Shu. "I mean, after all you hunt for it, right? And if you really wanted to you could sneak up and pounce on it." It would be awfully silly to go through all that trouble, but it was doable. Chuckling under his breath he grabbed his younger brother's shoulder, pulling him close and waving a hand dramatically. "Think about it! Shu, the fruit slayer! Hunter of yummy things! Hm... You know, it sounded a lot better in my head..." Ah well, he'd tried. They wouldn't be hunting here anyways, not unless you counted digging through freezers as hunting, which would be lame. That was another thing he wouldn't mind doing again though, going on a hunt. The last time he and Shu had hunted for food was, gosh, when they first met Viral? So definitely a long time ago, they should really do it when they got back home. The mess hall was just beyond where they were, and rounding the corner they found the door... And that Saiyan kid. Takeshi was anything but pleased to see him again and the kid noticed, shirking back slightly but continuing to walk towards them. Stopping himself just outside the door the elder boy folded his arms over his chest, staring at Haku expectantly. "What are you doing here, stealing food?"

The Princes were the last people that Haku wanted to see right now. Neither liked or trusted him and frankly they both scared him, being around them wasn't going to be pleasant. The very first words out of Takeshi's mouth were disdainful, making the kid bristle slightly in annoyance. "N-No! I'm getting food for T'charrl!" he retorted, surprise coming over Takeshi's face, "A-And Viral too, they asked me! S-So move, I'm busy!" He got no flack as he opened up the door, walking inside and looking around curiously. He'd never been on one of these style of ships before and he was curious what the dining area was like. It was nicer than the one he was used to, much nicer. Definitely a ship an Elite had been on. Finding the double doors that separated the kitchen from the mess hall he hurried through them, immediately going to the refrigerator first. With nothing to carry food in he began to load up what he could in one arm, various fruits and a few small plates of dessert stuff. For Viral he stacked on several cuts of meats and some fish, most of which was partially cooked thankfully. If the Beastman wanted cooked food they could just blast it, that would probably work. With two arms full of goodies Haku turned, blindly wandering out of the kitchen and past the Princes without a word. He'd better hurry and get back, otherwise there would be some rather miffed, hungry people waiting for him.

Vegeta couldn't help but smile, he was excited witnessing all of this. Knowing that Viral was in no true immediate danger made it easier to enjoy this moment, even if the Beastman was experiencing some pain going through the change. Opening the door for that kid to come back he walked over tot he chair again, pausing in step as Viral jumped out of the chair, or tried to. The nodes strapped to his head bound him slightly, enough anyways that he wouldn't be running about anytime soon. "Oh come on Viral, do you know how rare it is that I see something now that excites me this much?" Vegeta asked, putting his hands on his hips. "And of course I've thought of what's happening to you. There's a definite increase in certain aspects of your brain, and after studying them I'm positive there's an underlying cause to this change. Furthermore... It seems like the weaker your base form becomes the more easily these forms can emerge. But different ones emerge, and they must be for different reasons. I can't imagine it's a random roulette, it would seem more probable that each has a particular trigger, or series of triggers..." They were certainly getting somewhere, that much was evident. Rubbing at his head in thought Vegeta turned around, smiling as he smelled a heavy aroma of meat just outside. "Aha, that was fast."

Into the medical ward walked what appeared to be a pile of food with legs, but a quick, disgruntled shout from the other side said otherwise. "It's all dripping on me! T-Take it already!" Haku whined, trying to crane his head away from the juices. The load that he was carrying lightened considerably once the food for Viral was removed, albeit he now stunk like raw meat and goodness knows what else. Sighing softly he glanced around what he still had in his arms, narrowing his eyes slightly. "Is that all...?" Getting waved off by Vegeta dismissively was very annoying, but seeing the Beastman changing now too he hardly wanted to hang around. Hurrying back out of the room he continued on down towards the empty room, hoping he wasn't too late to deliver all of this.

"And here we are, a nice bit of food for Viral!" Vegeta said, smiling as he picked up a slab of steak. It was still raw, unfortunately, and the kid hadn't even thought to wrap them or anything. At least the medical bay was completely sanitary so placing them on the counter like that was fine. Holding out a hand he gathered a bit of Ki, beginning to sear the meat as evenly as he could for the Beastman. "If you have to get down then feel free, I can always study you more if you end up changing." Placing the steak in his friend's hands he went about removing all of the nodes, pushing the console to the side with a smile. "This is very interesting... Though I can't imagine you're going to want to do this again for me later."
