Viral looked to be awfully keen on drinking, shame he couldn't take to food as highly. With any luck they could get treatment started soon, and with that the Beastman would begin eating regularly. In good health he would eat as often as Vegeta and Yumi did, even if he may not have been necessarily hungry. Another thing that Viral seemed to miss is eating wasn't just for getting some nutrition, it was a bit of a social event. Particularly now when their group had broken into smaller sects, eating was the one occasion that everyone sort of came back together again. Not eating in a way meant exclusion from those events, even if you were present at the time. Ah, but Vegeta was getting away from himself, thinking too much into it as usual. Gathering up his dishes he made way towards the kitchen, but not before making a few remarks on Viral. Smiling amused at the rebuttal he shook his head, "I can sleep when I collapse from exhaustion. There's work to be done, and that can't wait." Disappearing through the doors he placed his dishes in the sink, leaving them be for the time being. "But... If it will help ease your mind," Vegeta added, coming back into the dining hall, "Then I'll take a short nap. You two behave now." 

Even Yumi had to roll her eyes at Vegeta's chiding. She knew he meant well but sheesh, Viral wasn't a baby and neither was she. All the same she smiled at her lifelong friend, giving a nod of her head as he was walking out. "We'll be good, don't worry! Go get some sleep, you get all motherly when you're tired!" she called after him, laughing as he made a face at her before disappearing. That was bit of a lie, their behaving, because shortly they were going to be doing anything but. No way was she going to go back on her word either and tell Viral the deal was off, especially since she wanted to spar a bit too. Waiting just to make doubly sure they were alone she glanced over at the Beastman knowingly, taking his plate and setting it on her own. "Guessing you're done eating, which means as soon as you finish that we can go uh... Exercise," Yumi said, winking playfully, "And I'm going to pull a Vegeta here, but if I say we should stop then please don't get angry? I just want to be safe, that's all." It would be impossible to hide her betrayal of Vegeta's trust if Viral ended up hurt or in worse condition from all of this. More the knowledge that he would be disappointed in her over anything else was what she wanted to avoid in particular. "Ready to go?"

Every time they talked about this anger thing Shu got all depressed. Takeshi didn't like doing it but it was necessary, they couldn't avoid the topic. This all could end up like Viral's issue where it just got worse over time, he really didn't want to chance that. Telling the little guy that was only going to make his mood even worse, so he kept that thought to himself. Maybe a nice warm meal and some casual chatter would help ease the tension, then they could either try again or let it lie for the day. The latter was probably for the best since it would be better to get input from the others before he tried anything again. "Alright, no silly faces, but uh... Can you not hold onto me like that? It's hard to walk," Takeshi said, smiling apologetically as Shu released him. Fixing his clothing he reached out and ruffled Shu's hair gently, "Don't be sorry buddy, it's fine." It was always such a downer seeing Shu like this, it just made the older boy feel twice as bad. There had to be a way he could fix this, something to make his sibling happy again. Up ahead he saw the entrance to the mess hall, and what's more Vegeta leaving it. Shame the guy was so far ahead, otherwise he'd call him over and have him join them for a meal. "How's about we play a little after lunch? Just the two of us, we can play tag, or hide and seek, whatever you want." Surely playing one of Shu's little games couldn't be all bad, right?

"You don't have to be smart to beat someone up, just look at that big muscley guy in the rebels..." Kabocha pointed out, frowning at the idea of Leto. That guy was only imposing because of his sheer size, though he understood the Yulian was moderately strong in his own right too. Just proof of concept that you didn't need brains to be dangerous. And in his personal experience it was often the dumb ones that were the most worrisome. "Damn straight Shu is crazier... That kid is practically a wild animal compared to us..." he mumbled, glancing ahead again at the brothers. "Good heart and all, but a bit on the nuts side... And don't say that! If that little guy got out of control then I wouldn't even want to be on the same planet as him. Nope, I'd be as far away as possible in a heartbeat." That Oozaru form of Shu's was enough to make some top Elites worry, and anything that strong was well beyond their handling. Much as he might side with Takeshi right now he wasn't so sure he'd hang around and help if the young Prince went all bonkers and attacked. "We can only hope that doesn't happen, I guess. Maybe they'll sort him out before long and we won't have to worry about it anymore!"
