Takeshi and his organs could really have done without the bear hug, though he supposed it was nice they were arriving under good terms. Considering how bad things had gotten between their group and the rebels before this was a positive change of light. Sending Leto to escort them wasn't the best thing, but at least the guy was pleasant, if nothing else. Breaking free of the vice grip of a hug he rubbed at his chest, inhaling to recover from near being squished in the man's grasp. How did someone so weak have so much raw strength? No more hugs for when he was here, that was the only one he wanted. In spite of that Shu was rather quick to follow up with one of his own, grabbing the older boy from behind and giving him a hug. It wasn't remotely painful nor uncomfortable but he was still being a bit of a sourpuss. Having his arms tied at his sides by the hug Takeshi looked down at his brother, smiling slightly as he stopped in his tracks. "So hug Leto then, not me," he said, rolling his eyes as he was only hugged harder. Breaking into an honest smile the Saiyan eased Shu's arms off of himself, chuckling as he poked his brother's forehead before continuing on with the group. "Hug me when we're not busy, alright?"

Vegeta would be lying if he said he was envious of Takeshi, a hug from Leto was not at all appealing. As their friend was squeezed within an inch of his life the rest moved on, save for Shu who wanted to repeat the gesture for whatever reason. Such a strange one, Shu, he still had a bit of trouble getting used to the kid's copious amounts of energy. At the moment Vegeta simply didn't have the desire or drive to be too energetic, feeling much too like they were on a business trip here. They were in essence making a partnership, or formally making one at the very least. The reason as to why the rebels had so vocally called for their assistance was a bit lost on him, certainly considering the size and power of the rebel forces already. They were here though and ready to hear the leaders out. "Demand payment...? I'm not aware of them ever doing such a thing," Vegeta remarked, glancing over at Viral as they walked. "Don't get the wrong idea, I'm not trying to defend them here, I don't know what their policies are. But from what I've witnessed they free a world and stay only to help rebuild, it doesn't seem like planets are trading one rule for another." Granted a lot of worlds did join or support the rebellion, but that seemed pretty obvious considering what was done for them. "Leto? I don't suppose you can just tell us why we're here, can you?"

"Afraid not, my young friends! The commander has made it very clear that he and Sayomi are the ones who are going to speak with all of you, I'm simply a messenger!" Leto replied, nodding his head. "I can, however, tell you that you will play a large part in the final battle, if you all accept. We've finally gotten to the point where we can win this war, but only with one last bit of aid. Being the outstanding men... And women that you are I know you won't deny us!" That probably didn't make the kids feel obligated whatsoever. Being awfully close to one of his infamous, heartfelt ramblings Leto flexed, a single tear dripping down his cheek as he did so. "We are so close to freeing this universe from the tyranny that is the Saiyan war machine! Every fiber of my being is pulsating from excitement! Soon we will see the dawn of a new day where people can travel without fear of those cruel overlords! Oh I want to weep just at the very thought of it!"

"Please don't..." Takeshi mumbled, rolling his eyes. This was exactly why he didn't want Leto as their escort, he was just so weird. It was one thing to be passionate about what you did and another to just be some nutjob. They hadn't even agreed to do whatever it was yet either so why was he getting all worked up? "Hey Shu... I think I found someone who's more silly than you are," he added, smiling as he pointed at Leto. It was weird to think this guy was a major in the rebellion, he just really didn't come across as a military man. Everyone else they had met had some idea of how to act and then this guy was... Well he was a clown. How many people had actually followed this guy willingly while he was still with the Saiyans, he wondered. Probably not a whole lot, his speeches got tiresome really quickly.
