Viral probably could had gone without the babying over him, but right now it was needed if he was going to be happy. Without the medicine he would be in too much pain to do this but with the medicine his arms were pretty numb, making eating fairly difficult. Having Yumi helping him made him feel weak, but he knew it had to be done. Moving his arm to his mouth he stared at Yumi, not finding her words to be very clear, “So…I’m not sick, but I’m unwell…” he repeated, looking down at his arm as he removed it from his mouth, letting out a sigh, “If you say so. I just want this over with…to finish with this…” It was pretty awful knowing this genes were failing him and didn’t think he would be able to regenerate and get better after that. It was just too complicated, but if she wanted to believe he was going to get better then he wasn’t going to challenge her, “Would rather get this over with before the others see me, anyway…”

Shu really felt confused, but he was aware that he was unable to find these answers himself and knew he would need the help. If Takeshi just forgot about it after eating then that was going to be ideal for him, but that was providing he didn’t start talking about it with the others too. He felt pretty embarrassed about it, even though it was a dangerous aspect of him. Looking away from Takeshi he pressed his fingers together, letting out a sigh, “I guess…but I don’t know if that works”, he spoke, shaking his head, “Not tried that before, but if that fails…then what? Test it and it doesn’t work and I make people hurt! How will you know it will be funny? You don’t do a lot of funny things on purpose, you know…”

Kai didn’t really like talking about this kind of stuff, especially when he was supposed to have little to do with the King now and talking about him just reminded him of the old days where they’d try to talk about him behind the backs of the Elites and loyalists. They would try to but there would always be punishment and this felt like a scummy way to do it when they were always taught that it was wrong. Even if the King was the bad guy here, it still felt wrong as a former soldier. Watching where he was walking more than anything, he gave Kabocha a quick look at the mention of the brother’s mother, not liking that kind of talk at all, “How will we find out when all we know is she was an Earthling?” he questioned him, finding the idea to be generally pretty stupid even if they did agree, “Where will we start? Even the King’s kids don’t know…”
