A little bit of boxing was a safe way to start things off. Nothing overly technical, just moving around and throwing some punches. Yumi was going to hold back on her hits of course, worried what a full force blow might do to Viral right now. Swinging away she kept hitting his arms, happy to find he was taking the hits solidly, even if they were toned down. Maybe she could ramp it up a little bit, just to see what he could manage right now, get some idea of what was okay. Not in any hurry to do so however she kept her simple striking going, eventually getting a few in retaliation. Either brushing the hits aside or weaving to avoid them she put on a smile, beginning to enjoy herself even at a modestly slow pace. "I haven't done this kind of fighting in a long time! Mostly because everyone's too busy flying around and blowing things up," Yumi said, sounding quite cheerful, "I missed this. It's simple but it's fun, don't you think?" She could draw on training she hadn't touched in years, training that she thought just had no place in these new kinds of battles. Hopefully she remembered most of it, or at the very least some of it. Making a fool out of herself wasn't what she'd come to do, though if it got a good laugh maybe she'd trip over herself once or twice.

"Yeah... An animal. It's kinda like a seal... Only a lot fatter, and it's got two big teeth like I showed ya." Takeshi didn't quite know how to explain it further than that so he added, "I'll take you to a zoo sometime, we can see one there probably." East City had a zoo, as far as he remembered. Never having gone there actually himself he had walked by plenty of times and would guess that the place had one. He was going to leave that well alone and get to eating when Shu instead had more questions for him, how unexpected. Lowering the curry bun he was about to eat the older boy frowned, tilting his head a bit as he started to think. "Well... A zoo is sort of like a place where animals live. They get little places to walk around and people feed them and take care of them. And people pay to see them, because it's neat, I guess? i don't know, never been there myself." Takeshi wasn't all that interested in animals he couldn't go and eat, and he was certain someone would get all miffed if he wandered in and started munching on the animals. Hm... Did they have penguin? He'd always wanted to try penguin, but it was too darn cold where they lived. Smiling at Shu he shrugged a bit, sticking his fork into a one of the bacon-sausages and starting to bite away at it, "You know... You don't have to learn to be good, because you already are good," he said, licking a bit of grease off of his lip, "And I can help you read, maybe. How's about we go to the library after this instead of playing, give it a try?"
