"You're not doomed. When I start to sound pessimistic then worry, because I'll let you know if things progress to that point. Stop assuming the worst." Realistically Viral's situation was much better than he acknowledged. He had the care he needed to at least be stable, now too they were going to begin making progress towards recovery. Not only that, but he had a support system consisting of several people. Not that his pride would ever let him openly ask for help, but there were half a dozen people here who would come to his aid. Vegeta would give him that it was difficult to see the positives when depressed, but regardless they were still there. "Your mind is not going to be gone, I'll make certain of that. And if you mean your bed..." he paused, gesturing over to it, "But we'll walk. Come on, I'll give you a hand." Back again to supporting Viral, Vegeta slung one of his friend's arms over his shoulders, letting him lean for support. The ward could stay as it was for the time being, he'd be back after they ate. Opening up the door he began to step out, stopping abruptly when they nearly ran into Yumi. "Oh, Yumi. I didn't know you were out here." Yumi wasn't wholly sure what to do with herself right now. Choi and Kai were back into training with Kabocha tagging along, and she had little desire to get in the middle of that. Shu and Takeshi were busy as well with their own training, and T'charrl had asked to be alone for a while. The only people she could really pay a visit then were Viral and Vegeta, provided they were through with the former's treatment. So she had decided to stop by, expecting just to pop in, say hello then be on her way. Instead just as she had gotten to the door she was greeted by both her friends on their way out. "I just got here actually," she replied, smiling as she stepped back to let them out. Glancing curiously at Viral she cocked her head to the side, reaching out and giving his shoulder a prodding. "You took your medicine again, didn't you...?" Every time he did it was obvious, he became loopy and could scarcely move on his own. Sighing she placed her hands on her hips, giving her head a shaking. "Right... Well if you did it was for a good reason, so I'm not going to question it. Where are you two heading though? I thought you had tests to run." "We do, and we ran a couple. We're just taking a break for now, getting a bit of food." Vegeta pointed out. Nodding his head for Yumi to follow he eased Viral forward, not wanting to move too quickly. "We actually found something just a few moments ago too, and it could be the solution we've been looking for," he continued, glancing over at Yumi. "Could, so don't get all excited just yet. Even if it isn't though, gene deterioration is never a positive thing. So fixing this will help something at least, even if it's not the problem we want to solve." As he had said too there may be more than one abnormality. Once he had gone through the entirety then they would know for certain. With any degree of luck he would find more, and within those there would be the offending gene. Soon as they had the problem singled out they could effectively tackle it and get Viral onto the fast road to recovery. "If this works though and I can stabilize his genetic makeup I might even be able to administer gene therapy to you. If, that is, you want to be changed back." "N-No, I don't say bad words to be funny! I say them because... I don't know!" Takeshi said, rolling his eyes dramatically, "The same reason someone says any word, I just talk and use them. Sheesh..." Curse words for comedy, he'd never heard of that one before. Whatever Shu needed to help explain things to himself, he supposed. He figured it was a good thing the little guy didn't cuss, it would seriously hamper his adorable, innocent little image that had people so willing to support and befriend him. That was probably part of the reason girls tended to adore him and meanwhile Takeshi would get slapped, so not fair... Moving on! Before he could get down and out about his chances with the fairer sex he figured they should get T'charrl, their friend was probably waiting to find something to do. In an unceremonious manner Takeshi stopped just outside the door, and with the palm of his hand banged on it fairly loudly, much to Shu's chagrin. "What if he's asleep and doesn't hear us? I've gotta knock loud!" he said, turning to the door as it opened. Flashing T'charrl a smile he stepped back a bit, giving him a slight wave, "Ah, you're up! Come on lazy, let's go train. Oh, and practice talking and stuff!"
