Yumi was doing her damnedest to try and get Viral to relax, even if that meant treating him like a true cat. Even if he wasn't this scratching had to feel good, right? Even with her trying to make him content though it wasn't any good, the Beastman was as upset as he had been a moment ago. "I know you're a proud warrior, I never said you weren't," she said, pausing and looking down at her hand before smiling bashfully and finally removing it. Proud warriors didn't get scratches or hugs, at least not Viral's idea of a proud warrior. She wished he could be a proud warrior and still let himself relax now and again, there was no reason a proud, strong fighter couldn't have fun too. Walking over to the unused bed Yumi sat herself down on the edge, looking at Viral uncertainly. "Uh... Or we can just stay here for a bit, maybe? See if you change back perhaps? I just don't know if going out right now is a good idea, even if you just want to eat." Despite joking around she wasn't wholly comfortable with letting the Beastman out of here quite yet, not with the chance of him attacking again. Being alone wasn't exactly thrilling either as she would face the brunt of his rampage if he did turn, but better it be just her then other people as well. Leaning forward in her spot she laid her arms across her knees, closing her eyes as she yawned, "Hm... Before you uh, went and changed, you were doing really well fighting with me. I mean really well, it's hard to believe you're not feeling well."

Haku wasn't going to let Shu steal his thunder, not if he had a chance to be looked at something more than just a pest or inconvenience. No way was he going to be the bottom rung here too, he'd gotten enough of that when he was with the military. The Prince might have been the one to distract T'charrl, sure, but he was the one that provided the energy and actually made him change back. He was finally looking good and then Shu had to go and try to ruin it, the brat. Glancing over at the other boy angrily he stepped a bit closer, ignoring the fact they were basically the exact same size as he tried to seem intimidating, "I didn't want anyone getting attacked if he went crazy, so yeah I wanted to run away!" he retorted, reaching out and putting a finger in Shu's face angrily, "You could lower your energy you know, you don't have to give him all of it!" Come on, what was he going to have to do in order to not be criticized and looked down upon here? He risked life and limb getting close to a rampaging Kaesstrian and even selflessly gave up a lot of Ki. Maybe not wholly selflessly, but he'd done it willingly enough that it should count for something. More than ready to keep arguing with Shu, Haku instead growled in annoyance as he felt his shirt be grabbed, being unceremoniously lifted off of his feet by Takeshi, as was Shu. "H-Hey, put me down!"

"Will you two please stop arguing? T'charrl's out cold and you're barking at each other, cut it out," Takeshi said, frowning when Haku began whining, "Look, thanks for helping, but don't go off on Shu. I've seen you freak out and run before, I'd believe him saying you did that over you defending yourself. So just shut it and we'll all get along just peachy, yeah?" Jeez, usually he was the one flying off of the handle and getting in someone's face. With Shu and Haku present he might actually have to play parent and keep these two from going at it. Sighing to himself he shook his head, releasing both of the other boys and rubbing at his forehead. "Let's worry about T'charrl for now, okay?" With his sight turned towards the floor he noticed a shadow being cast, meaning there was light coming from behind them. Furrowing his brow in confusion Takeshi turned around and looked at T'charrl, watching in disappointment as their friend changed back. Not into the nightmare fuel from before but the form he'd had before, the bulkier version of himself. They had finally gotten him to his original form, kind of, and he'd gone and reverted back near instantly. Unable to hide a groan he hung his head, lifting it promptly when the Kaesstrian grunted. Surprised that T'charrl was awake he squatted down, smiling slightly as he looked down at their friend. "Hey there... Surprised you're up after that."

Yamate hated that Krom was right, he was needed to deal with the creatures. Those capable of handling them were few in number, and those forces were split up to ensure the Rebels didn't try anything. With their total forces essentially halved they couldn't afford to lose anyone right now, least of all their leader. "I suppose there's no reason to rush the tests just yet, we still have time. You're right, we'll wait for now... As for training I can't imagine what training needs to be done. They're only receptive to blunt force, unless you can pierce their skin and then Ki becomes viable. Far as I'm concerned a simple announcement is all the preparation our troops need for that much." It wasn't worth gathering everyone up and running drills, that would take time and more importantly remove everyone from their stations. It was better that people remain where they were for now and let the information be passed around; Knowledge of an enemy's weakness was as valuable as any training. "I haven't the faintest idea where either of the boys are, no. Any attempts to locate them has failed, and with the Rebels closer than ever its near impossible to get a ship out to search for them. Again, you're right. I don't like being wrong so often..." How frustrating, his wants were being denied because of lack of information, information that they should be able to readily acquire. This attack couldn't have come at a worse time. "For now we'll disregard my sons, we've no other choice. I want you to head to the bridge and get someone there to relay the information on the beasts, make sure every commander sees that their men know how to battle. After that... Honestly I really don't give a damn what you do for now. Just be prepared for another attack."
