"Not what I meant and you know it," Yumi retorted, brushing aside another incoming punch, "You're the best person for this, that's all I'm saying!" So she was a bit less than eloquent when focusing on sparring, hard to be guilty of that. She hadn't meant to come across as offensive but clearly had, considering how angry Viral both looked and sounded. What's more she was pretty certain he was swinging harder too. Being taken aback by the strength behind one of the swings she stumbled back slightly, barely managing to catch a second fist as it flew at her. Opting to do the same she waited until there was an opening before throwing back some hits of her own, getting those blocked as well. For someone who hadn't been optimistic about themselves Viral was doing an awfully good job keeping up right now. Just by sparring Yumi could tell he wasn't at 100%, as if she didn't know that already, yet even so this wasn't a cakewalk. Missing a high punch to Viral's jaw, Yumi quickly raised both arms and blocked another punch, with her arms preoccupied with the first she took a second blow just below her diaphragm, gasping as she was slightly lifted off her feet by it. The strike wasn't particularly strong nor did it hurt, but she hadn't expected it. Pushing the offending arm away she took a step back, now resorting to weaving about to avoid being hit again. "You're doing really well! Keep it up!"

Eh... Maybe going to the zoo was a bad idea after all. If they did go and found some of Shu's clan there it could be an awfully awkward situation. What would be even worse is if Shu wanted to get his former family out, then they would have to break out some animals. Just where in the heck would they keep a pack of monkeys anyways? Takeshi's first thought was his home, and immediately an image of monkeys ransacking his place came to mind. Poo being flung left and right, furniture trashed, everything ruined... Frowning at that idea he decided the zoo was best avoided, they could learn about animals some other way. More on topic, what in the world were they doing after the meal? He couldn't care one way or the other, his primary focus right now was just finding something to get Shu a bit happier. The little guy by the sounds of it agreed with that sentiment, he just wanted to feel better too. "Tell you what... We'll go ahead and play, for a while anyways. Then before we go to our room we'll find a book. I'll tell you what's in them, then we can go back and try learning some stuff from it. That sound okay to you?" This way Shu would learn about what only he wanted to, which if he was interested in it then maybe it would be easier for him. Or it could be a total bust and just leave the little guy confused, which was always a likely possibility.
