"W-What? No, of course I'm not going to fall for you! It's just weird how you do that!" Takeshi complained, frowning as he finally looked back at a now dressed Kai. He never had any problem doing it so it wasn't anything new, though it still was weird. Too comfortable around Choi probably and now he did it wherever. Thankfully they went back to the meal, he really didn't want to discuss whether or not undressing in front of friends was weird or not... Which it totally was anyways. "Sauce or marinade...? You have to wait a long time for marinades don't you?" he asked, disdain in his tone. "Ew, why would you wait to eat? I don't care how good the food might taste, it's quicker to do it this way." Fair enough point, Shu did enjoy it at the very least. So if they ever needed to feed the little guy just slap a few pieces of apple or something on a steak and he was good to go. 'Course it would probably take more than just one to fill him up, but preparation was a breeze. With the aforementioned boy all finished with his meal they could be off to train now, or whatever it was they were going to do. Takeshi didn't really have anything in mind, and apparently neither did Shu nor Kai. "Just thought I'd ask, give you a choice," he said, shrugging his shoulders. The latter bit made him frown, it made Kai sound pretty bummed out. "You can have fun without him, you know. It's not like you're bound to him or anything."

There would be no easy way to go about this, it was going to take even more time to uncover the secrets behind Viral's power. The fact both his father and Ikura hadn't given him straight answers to his questions was annoying Vegeta quite a bit. Why wouldn't they just tell him, were they expecting him to find out for himself? Surprise, he was lost, and he'd admit it. Perhaps he was over his head with this business, he had no right to be trying to unravel what took men far smarter than him years to accomplish, he wasn't a prodigy. Sighing dismally he glanced over at the Beastman as he spoke, not seeming at all enthusiastic anymore. "Therapy, medication, I don't know. I'll figure something out," he replied. "Your stability has improved, you're speaking coherently to me now. The first time you changed you were more or less feral, so you are better. It's not perfect... But it's an improvement." In the smallest regard, of course. They still couldn't trigger the change on a whim, and obviously going by Viral still being transformed they didn't know how to undo it either. The mention of brain surgery made Vegeta scowl, shaking his head before looking at Viral angrily. "I am not operating on you like that, so get the idea out of your head. That's how you got in this predicament in the first place, and there's far too many risks with tampering with your brain. We'll find another way to do it that doesn't involve slicing you open. As for what you're supposed to do... Just keep training. Who knows, maybe you can actually figure this out yourself."
