Viral wasn’t having any of it; sure, it was easy for Vegeta to make all these silly jokes, but when he was lying around like this in pain and unable to move it wasn’t going to be funny to him. He didn’t like feeling like this and that was all there was to it, his hope to be feeling normal fading with each second he was like this. His biggest fear was he may never be able to return to his normal form and he would be stuck as a freak forever; not that he already wasn’t a freak to many, of course. He probably looked like a disaster right now and he couldn’t help but feel terrible about it. If Vegeta was to ever become the type of person to experiment then this was definitely going to be full of experiments whether painful and necessary or if he was going to be unconscious for the majority of the time. To abandon a failed experiment wasn’t uncommon, especially when there were other things to be concerned about and trying to improve what was already broken. To hear Vegeta deny he’d abandon him made him feel concerned that he was holding Vegeta back, the very knowing he was not able to function correctly himself because he was so broken made him feel pretty guilty, “And you better not put anything off either because of me…”, he spoke lowly, “If you dare I’ll just walk out…whether I have the energy or not! I’m not having you become unhealthy because of me…”

While he was annoyed at Vegeta he still wanted this over and done with and Vegeta was the only one who could help him with this. He wasn’t sure whether he could stay angry at him at this point, but he sure was getting fed up with his jokes. Growling lowly at his reasoning he let out a huff, looking elsewhere when everything was just causing him to feel fed up, “Hmph yeah…and yet you never cared to say anything…”Finding it all to be one disappoint after the other, he sighed when Vegeta finally decided to give the device a try and see if it would do as it was told and actually not blow up. Despite Vegeta’s reassurances there was a little bit of worry still when Vegeta approached the device, gasping when the cords finally decided to release him and give him some sort of relief. Bracing for possible pain from the process of energy transfer, the process soon started and the feeling of his energy moving from the device into him was rather uncomfortable, a feeling he was sure he had felt before. Not finding it to his liking he slowly managed to reach his claws up towards it but did manage to stop himself from yanking it right off, “I-It feels like sticking a big needle in my chest…”

While Shu did want to find some way to make it all better there was still the problem that he didn’t want to get in anybody’s way and having somebody’s time taken up like this was not what he wanted. Feeling pretty sad that he didn’t have bananas still Shu let out a sigh, lowering his head a little and swaying as he walked, “I just thought that maybe…okay…” Letting out a sigh, Shu continued onward just thinking of bananas and the future, feeling as if he might end up getting that confused between the two if he thought too much about it, “I’ll get to do that? Oooh, I might feel sad for doing that. I don’t like forcing people to say things”. He still couldn’t help but feel guilty that he had allowed his own worries to get in the way of everything else, especially when it was not a big deal in the first place when compared to everything else they had to worry about. If he didn’t fight then he had no reason to get mad, but if he didn’t fight then he would be wasting everyone’s time by being there, “I can hang in there! I have a tail for hanging in there! I can wait, I swear!”

If it wasn’t his transformation that was worrying him it was everything else that came closer to making him angry that worried him. He didn’t know if Haku would be nice to him or look at him strangely too much, but either way he was going to be nervous and be unable to concentrate on anything else. Keeping his head low he nodded a little, trying to find comfort in his reassurances, “I can sit a little away instead! I-I don’t mind…” He was just being a pain at this point and he knew it, there was no point trying to hide it. Finding it uncomfortable to be thinking about this stuff, Shu scratched his chest before Takeshi decided to stop him in his tracks and press his head against his own. Frowning as he was forced to stare at Takeshi’s eyes, he listened to him closely before backing off when he did, his hand going to his chest when he was poked. Giving his chest a scratch he looked back up at Takeshi, giving a little nod, “I-I’ll try! I’ll try”, he squeaked, looking away a little, “I don’t mean to be a coward, I’m just…not used to fighting such dangerous people, I guess. I always fought for fun, but now I’m fighting for my life a-and it’s just hard, I guess. You’re used to it, though. Even when Father had me I don’t remember fighting…”
