"Hey... Don't bash barbequing... It's really good," Takeshi said in a deflated tone. "Just because I don't have your training or know-how doesn't mean I can't cook something good." Besides, he'd gotten on perfectly fine thus far just cooking things on an open flame, so why should he bother learning how to do things any differently? "And I know smoke on a ship is bad. I'm not a complete moron." And now he was getting all annoyed, that wasn't at all what they were going for. Okay then, probably best to just move on and focus on what it was they were going to be doing. Perhaps going to see Choi wouldn't be such a bad idea, seeing how lonely his twin was. Or maybe that was the worst thing to suggest. "Oh come on, it's not like he'd mind his brother showing up," Takeshi began, pausing briefly before looking at Kai surprised. "Wait, they're on a date? Like... A date date? I mean they're going out and all, but..." Huh, that just seemed weird. The idea of the two of them being lovey-dovey was kind of funny, he almost wanted to drop by just to spy on them. Shaking his head and dismissing the thought altogether he motioned for Shu and Kai to follow as he took the lead. "I guess we can show each other any techniques we picked up. I'm sure we've each got something new by now."

"We'll work on it so you [i]can[/i] do it by yourself. Sorry, it's a little rash of me to expect you to have a handle of it so soon, I'm getting too far ahead of myself." They had to figure this out, no way was Vegeta going to accept failure. He'd take as long as need be to uncover what they were missing, he had to learn what was happening and fix it before they saw his parents again. He didn't want the first thing that he'd be feeling upon their return to be shame for not helping Viral, no way in hell was he having that. It was awfully hard though, trying to contend with so many things when he didn't know anything about them. "I... Can't be certain if any of it will worth, everything is theory right now. But we won't know until we try, right? I refuse to just let this go on if there's anything I can do about it. If you can't be hopeful about this then fine, but I'm not giving up on you yet." The comment about his parents bit, perhaps harder than it should have. Vegeta very nearly lashed out at Viral for saying that, instead giving him a terse reply. "I'm fixing you, that's that." If he was the only one that kept Viral from going rampant then fine, he'd keep himself in the storm's path for as long as he had to. If anyone else was hurt then it was due to his failings, he refused to accept that as a possibility.
