"Even if you are weaker you can always train and get stronger again. Once you're healthy there's no reason you can't improve and be as strong as Shu and Takeshi are, or even stronger. I mean if you were that strong once then I don't see why you can't get there again, or go even beyond that." It wasn't going to be easy, none of what Viral was going to go through would be. After he was stable again he'd have to make the long journey to getting back to his former glory, let alone getting to a point where he was stronger than most of them. Viral knew that already, she didn't have to say anything on the matter. All Yumi needed to do was be there to help him along the way and keep him going, not let him give up even if the gap between himself and their friends might seem daunting at times. "Maybe it is wishful thinking, maybe you don't have any Saiyan genes in you at all," she said, shrugging her shoulders before scratching at one of her ears, "But know what? Even if you don't have them you don't need them. You were stronger than any of us when we all met, remember? You could have kicked Takeshi's butt easily if you two weren't busy playing tag. So once you get better and you start training again you'll be stronger than any Saiyan. And after you get better too you can finally get the King for what he did to you." Revenge wasn't something Yumi was keen on but she knew Viral was. And maybe if he had that goal to look forwards to then he would stay more optimistic and persevere, even if things got rough.

Haku wasn't sure if he ought to stay around or leave now that he'd done his job. A part of him quite wanted to spar still, and since T'charrl was out of commission he wasn't going to be doing it with the Kaesstrian. Left with only the Princes as choices then he had to pick between them, and neither was a particularly exciting prospect. The only real bright side he could see to battling one of them was if he was beaten then he'd get stronger, albeit it would be quite a painful process. And training that way was awfully stupid regardless as you were useless if you didn't know how to use your power, ala Shu. T'charrl sounded real off and confused about everything, odd to think he had absolutely no recollection of what had just happened. Even without knowing, or maybe especially because he didn't know he was worried about it and asking all sorts of questions, to him of all people. "Huh...? Scare me...? Well uh... I mean you were pretty big, and there were spikes, but I don't know if I was all that scared," Haku lied, trying to sound all big in front of the others. Knowing Shu was just dying to say something to the contrary he glanced over at the other boy warningly before smiling, rubbing at his nose smugly. "In fact, I think you scared the crap out of Takeshi. When I found him he was all lying down and- OW!" 

Takeshi started glowering at Haku as soon as he heard his name come up, he didn't want T'charrl knowing what he'd done. Gritting his teeth he stormed over to Haku who was too busy blabbering to notice and smacked him in the back of the head, staring at the younger boy as he leaned over and covered the forming welt. "I slipped earlier, but I was fine T'charrl, don't worry about it," he said, flushing a slight red in embarrassment, "You didn't hurt anyone which is what's important. Everyone is okay now and we can focus on getting you somewhere to relax, you're our concern at the moment." Figuring Haku knew to keep his mouth shut for the time being the older boy went back to T'charrl, looking down at their friend a bit reservedly. It was just T'charrl, nothing frightening or threatening there. Inhaling through his nose he leaned over and grabbed the Kaesstrian carefully, slipping one of T'charrl's upper arms over his shoulder to help him to his feet. Eeeeh... He could feel the hair brushing up against his neck and it was really odd, and not a good kind of odd. Shivering reflexively Takeshi put on a smile, looking at Shu and gesturing to the fruit with his foot. "Can you grab that buddy? My hands are a bit full right now," he asked, then turning to T'charrl, "How about we get you to your room now, yeah?"
