"W-Wait what? No no no no, that's not what I meant at all!" Takeshi stammered, shaking his head. "I just mean I don't want to put all that effort into cooking myself! You know? I mean, why do all of that when I'm used to just cooking things over a fire! If you want to do it for us then I won't stop you." He really didn't want a still bloody, uncooked steak on his plate. There was a lot that he could eat, raw beef was not one of those. Smiling uneasily as he pressed his fingers together Takeshi chuckled lightly, "So uh... Sorry? Cooking's not really my thing, I don't know a lot about it, I'll admit that." Food crisis averted, hopefully, maybe now they could focus on what they were actually going to do. Kai wasn't so much focusing on the 'what' though as he was being miserable, unfortunately. Still giving an uncertain smile Takeshi shrugged his shoulders, itching at his nose. "Well, uh... We can do something that doesn't make you a third wheel...? Like..." If they couldn't train then there wasn't a whole lot else he had in mind, that was basically all they did. That and play, though somehow he figured Kai wouldn't appreciate their childish games quite as much. Training it was then, either that or they sit around and play cards, something Shu probably didn't have the attention span for. "How about we go see what Choi and Yumi are doing? And if they're done maybe you and him can spar with me and Shu? I want to see who the stronger pair of brothers are!"

Vegeta wished he had the answers for Viral, then they wouldn't be here bickering like this. What he did know was minimal, unhelpful and perhaps even incorrect, so there wasn't a whole lot to go off of. Both of them were frustrated and with no clear solution in sight that was only going to continue. "But you managed to come back to it, which means you're not completely gone once you've become more primal. That's a good sign too, that you can be brought back. If we can prevent you from ever reaching that point to begin with, now that would be ideal." A lot more information was going to need to be gathered in order to figure out how that would happen. Vegeta was precariously close to deciding to study Viral in a controlled environment, hardly a fitting place for his friend but perhaps necessary. He was a scientist, sure, but not a biologist and certainly not a neurologist. What he did know was minimal and barely touched upon the complex nature of the Beastman's being. It was like having to teach yourself calculus while being in middle school, no easy feat. "Anything that was been done mentally can be reversed or suppressed. If they managed to 'flip off' your ability to handle your transformations then there's no reason we can't reset it. If I've learned anything thus far it's that your memory and power has been tampered with, which is a clear indication it can be done again. If I can figure out how they did it I can undo everything, restore your memory and give you full access to your abilities."
