Takeshi wasn't going to tease T'charrl too much about his fear, it wouldn't be very nice. Plus it would be just as easy for him or Shu to turn around and tease about his entomophobia. If their friend could at least get wet to shower then they were fine, it was more than Shu usually did. Only with some rather pushy encouragement did the little Saiyan shower regularly, or semi-regularly. How it had never bothered the older boy before was a bit of a mystery, probably because he hadn't known his brother was playing host to bugs. "Nah, Shu showers more often than that. Usually once a day, or every other at least. No way I'm letting him stay dirty from now on, not if we're sharing beds or food, he's gotta be clean." Takeshi looked over at his brother, grinning as he poked his sibling in the head playfully. "Right? Plus you like taking baths because you get to use bubbles, so they're fun yeah?"

Shu's habit of eating bugs never failed to make Takeshi cringe, it absolutely disgusted him. The very thought of something wriggling as you ate it, or it slid down your throat... He had to stop thinking about it otherwise he might gag. "N-No one has parasites, or any kind of bugs! So no bugs for you buddy, sorry!" he said hastily, not wanting to be jumped on and searched. They were going to have to try and get Shu to kick that habit, it really wasn't something people usually did. In the jungle it might be normal, for monkeys sure, but Shu was not in the jungle nor a monkey. He might have been raised by them but that didn't make him one, even if he did resemble them a bit. A nice change of topic for once saw the young Saiyan defending his older brother, or rather reassuring him he wasn't a bad guy. What Shu didn't know was just what Takeshi had done before they met, and the things he'd done even since were far from 'good'. But if his brother didn't see him in a bad light who was he to argue? Smiling gratefully he gave a small nod, rubbing at his nose. "I'd never be mean to you buddy, you know that."

Takeshi was fine with dropping the bad guy conversation, he wasn't very keen on discussing his past anyways. Besides, what mattered most was the present, and right now he thought himself a pretty decent person, all things considered. "I'm telling you, you've got no reason to worry about these people. Sure they might be a bit... Different at first, but they were really nice. And yeah they might check you out, but that's only because they've never seen a Kaesstrian before. Or not one like you I'd bet." T'charrl would be examined even if he was in his normal state, people were just curious like that. The only reason he and Shu hadn't been checked out the first time is Shaharians were used to Saiyans by that point. Extending a hand out Takeshi gave their friend a pat on the back, flashing a thumbs up and smile as well. "Relax, alright? Things are gonna be fine. Shu and I can vouch if they get suspicious or anything, and they'll warm up to you in no time."

The Shaharians were certainly curious about T'charrl alright. No sooner had they entered the town were heads turning, most of the attention focused on the largest member of the trio. Since the wind was still blowing everyone had their hoods on meaning no one probably recognized either of the brothers. Evidently they weren't seen as a threat, immediately at least as no one approached them. It was nice to be here under better conditions this time around, the town had been repaired and actually looked half decent. It was still much too sandy and hot for Takeshi to consider living in, even as a vacation spot, but it was nice to look at. "Alright, we're looking for their leader. Big guy, looks like all of them. Probably going to be in the biggest house or something like that," Normally that wouldn't be too hard to figure out if not for the fact they couldn't read the words on the buildings. It was safe to assume the structures with writing on them were the public buildings, meaning the leader could either be in one of those... Or one of the homes. Hm... This might take a while.
