"Well... Yeah, we were still kids. But the point is you helped us, so now we're helping you!" Yumi reaffirmed, smiling as she lifted up the spoon, "So just shut up and let me help, okay? I promise it won't hurt!" She thought Viral was never going to just settle down and eat, it was a lot like trying to feed a toddler who didn't want food. To the contrary he reached out and grabbed her arm again in an attempt to lead the spoon to his mouth. Well... Putting food up your nose was one way of eating she supposed, albeit an incredibly difficult and unusual one. Eventually he did manage to get the food in his mouth, but that only lasted for a second as he nearly choked on it before swallowing it. It wasn't graceful, but Viral had managed to eat. "I don't know if I'd say you're sick..." Yumi answered, pausing as she scooped up some more fish, "Just... Unwell. You're not completely healthy right? So you're sick. But we can make you healthy again and we will, so don't be so bummed about it, because you'll be better soon!" 

Tch, none of his suggestions were getting them anywhere. Takeshi really did wish he had the answer, he was wracking his brain for one but just kept coming up blank. Anything he thought of either would backfire or just wouldn't work in a fight, meaning there had to be some other way to go about doing it. Letting out his anger was bad, Shu had a point, dumb idea. Thinking of something peaceful or happy might work on paper, but he could attest to it first hand how it wouldn't work nearly all the time. They needed a reliable, surefire way of helping Shu out. Maybe there just wasn't one, that could be why they weren't able to figure this out. "You won't get punched in the face, no one's punching you. Just... I don't know..." Sighing he lifted both hands to his head, frazzling his hair a bit with a groan. The answer had to be there, there was a solution to everything if you looked hard enough. They probably could get one from Vegeta but now Takeshi was feeling damn determined to sort it out on his own. "Let's see... What about trying to laugh it off?" he suggested, smiling hopefully, "If I do something silly and you laugh then you won't be angry, right?"

However Takeshi lost his tail Kabocha didn't want to know. Losing your tail was like losing a limb, whatever had gone on couldn't have been pretty. If Shu was somehow linked to it too then all the more reason to leave that untouched, it was probably a sensitive subject. He could do without being smacked or yelled at right now, or having Shu get all defensive of his older brother and bite his tail. Somehow they made the segway of discussing tails to the King having a mate, such a random and weird topic that even Kabocha had to give Choi a 'what the hell' sort of look. Shuddering at the notion of the King getting 'it on' with anyone made his skin crawl, and in a different way then having your tail ripped off did. "Ugh, man... Shut up Choi! That's gross!" he said, grimacing before shaking his head. "I mean obviously the guy's... You know... Been there. He's got those two," Kabocha added, gesturing to the Princes. "I doubt their mother dying is what did it though. Then again... They don't know her at all, and she's definitely not on Kortal. But they are part human, so maybe she's on Earth... But they said they've never seen her..." Now he was really thinking into this, getting a bit curious about who or what their mother might be. Scratching at his cheek thoughtfully it was Kabocha's turn to grin, looking over at the twins and giving a wink. "Hey... What do you two think about doing a little research? Let's see if we can find out who their mother is!"
