"Heh... Yeah, your turn buddy," Takeshi repeated, smiling weakly as he continued to part Shu's hair. Please let there be no bugs, there was no way he was going to finish if he found something crawling around. If there kept being little creepy crawlies in his brother's hair then he may just shave the younger boy's head in his sleep. Sure, Shu might be a bit sore about that at first but it would make things a whole lot easier. Who knows, the little guy could even look good bald. One good thing about grooming was it was a fairly mindless task, he could talk to T'charrl no problem while doing it. Looking up at their friend, Takeshi listened as he spoke, nodding understandingly at what was being said. "Maybe there's too much of the General's energy? What if that is keeping you from changing back?" he suggested, shrugging his shoulders, "Or what about that Spirit, huh? Maybe you need to find a way to get that out, maybe that's what's stopping things. Though I have no flipping idea how that's going to work out..." That Spirit, or ghost, whatever was in T'charrl didn't seem malicious, it was anything but. That aside it didn't change the fact that it could well be the source of their friend's problems. Highly doubting it would work though opting to give it a go Takeshi narrowed his eyes at the Kaesstrian, staring silently for a moment as if trying to see the Spirit. "Hey, Spirit guy... If you can hear me how about saying something. We could use a hint here, you know?"

Yumi's mouth pulled into a frown hearing Viral, feeling quite sad for him again. "That's not true, it doesn't even make sense. If they didn't care about you or want you then they would have put you back, killed you. The fact they kept you out and helped you recover shows they wanted you around. And not for a weapon either, I don't remember Vegeta exactly sending you out on missions and things like that, so you weren't some tool. You were and are part of the family, that's all you were. Not some danger, or some threat or nuisance." Sure, a handful of people in Capsule Corp most certainly did resent Viral. Some thought he should be killed for inadvertently killing Aito and June, while others thought he should basically be reduced to a servant. While Vegeta hadn't always been the most forthcoming it had actually been his insistence that kept Viral from being demeaned to anything less than he was. "Vegeta and I spent time with you and made sure no one treated you badly. Never mind whether we knew or not what had happened, we weren't going to let anyone do away with you, and we still won't." Cringing slightly at Viral's discontent towards food Yumi folded her hands behind her back, scuffing her foot against the floor before offering a small smile. "What if I prepared it in a way that didn't make you think of it? Like a soup, or stew. Something that you don't really have to chew. Would that help?"
