A lot of time had been spent in rooms like these over the last year. Takeshi had never been a fan of it, training in the way they had was dry and just repetitive. It was really nice having Shu along in that regard, their training was always interesting and at the very least entertaining. To Kai he only rolled his eyes a bit, dropping the subject before he got all fired up over it again. Hearing Kai speak more or less what he had just been thinking was a bit amusing, they had all spent a ton of time cooped up in places like this. Sure, it helped some but they could have gotten just as much if not more work done elsewhere. Outdoors training was the best by far for instance, though doing that in the middle of the vacuum of space was a tad bit tricky. "You know... I was kind of pissed when I found out who my squad was at first, I won't lie," Takeshi said, looking over at Kai with a small smile. "Some cooks and a spoiled noble, and here I was being toted as the king's prodigy or some crap. I didn't care a whole lot about being a Prince, still don't, but I thought I deserved better teammates. And you know what...?" Chuckling a bit he reached over, giving Kai a playful punch on the shoulder, a more earnest smile on his face. "Can't think of a better group of guys to have been put with. I give you crap, but no one else would have had my and Shu's back like you three did. You all are something else." Narrowing his eyes slightly Takeshi rubbed at his neck, looking away as his mouth tightened in a line. "And uh... Don't tell Choi or Kabocha I said that stuff, alright? Last thing I need is more reason for them to give me crap."

The conversation had certainly simmered down, which was nice. He did get angry and bothered easily but that didn't mean Takeshi enjoyed it, he usually felt pretty crummy afterwards. Now that the three of them were here they could get started for real at last and just goof off a bit. They ought to be actually training considering what was coming in the not so distant future, but with their big fight weeks away it was hard to feel the urgency just yet. Before they could begin there was the matter of T'charrl to address, namely whether or not they should involve him in this to make it an even group. While Takeshi backed off the idea maybe they should consider it, especially when Shu practically guilt tripped him. "I was not afraid of him! I was just... Surprised," the older boy retorted, giving Shu a look before shaking his head. Damn it, so he'd upset their friend, he hadn't thought T'charrl would have been aware of all that. Looking to the door as if debating going off to find the Kaesstrian Takeshi decided to stay put, figuring he would probably not be the best person to go anyways. "Eh... Do you really want to use this stuff? We can if we want to I guess."

Scratching and petting was [i]definitely[/i] the way to settle down Viral. It was kind of hilarious actually, seeing the Beastman be turned so docile over such simple gestures. Vegeta almost thought he had reverted to his more feline-mindset, seeing him lie down and near doze off. Nope, there was a bit of Viral's generous words right there. "Evil...? In what reality is petting someone considered evil...?" he mused, chuckling. "This is doing wonders for you, you can't argue that. I'll admit it's a tad... Unorthodox for my tastes, but if it works I won't stop." With Viral calmed down now he should be far easier to work with and hopefully revert back to normal. The easier atmosphere helped Vegeta clear his thoughts, taking a seat beside his friend as he continued to scratch at various spots. What could possibly be done to help Viral get back to himself? He couldn't picture his usual form, which meant focusing on changing like that may not work. "Alright then, Viral? If you can feel your own energy right now I want you to try to make it regress, draw it in. Can you do that for me?"

Yumi had admittedly been skeptical going into this training, finding the notion of telepathy a little farfetched. Choi had been very keen on teaching her however and she hadn't the heart to say no, even if she had voiced her feelings. Now that they had finished their session she was very glad she had agreed to see it through, the technique had actually been real! Really it wasn't all that difficult either, it was done much in the same way that sensing energy was, only you extended your thoughts with your energy. It was a neat trick, and she couldn't help but feel proud over knowing something most of the others didn't. Stepping out of the training room, hand-in-hand with Choi she looked up at him happily, one corner of her mouth pulling up into a smirk. "I can't wait to try this out in an actual fight. We really should teach the others this, think of how much better we'd be as a team if we could all use it." The notion of having people like Kabocha and Takeshi in her head were a touch iffy, though she couldn't deny the benefits it might give. "After we all learn this and train some more we'll take the fight to that damn king of yours, and he's going to pay for what he did to all of us. I want to be there for it so I can give his butt a good kick!"
