"So... The Spirit would be totally different if it wasn't inside of you...? Man that's weird... This whole thing is so confusing." Never having been a religious person by any means Takeshi had a hard time wrapping his head around the whole worship idea too. It seemed a bit silly to be praying to some otherworldly being, if you wanted something done then you did it, simple as that. He knew there were other things in the world, he'd seen it for himself, but he wasn't about to start praying to them for anything. Hey, if T'charrl wanted to worship some tree Spirit thing though then he could, hopefully he didn't expect Takeshi to do the same. Realizing he was being a bit cynical the Saiyan smiled slightly, prompting his friend to call out the very same Spirit he'd been thinking of. Surely that thing had to know what they needed to do, it had sounded pretty smart when they spoke to it before. Or even if it didn't they could at least try to get it to help a bit more. "Huh... Yeah, you being two people at once, kind of weird..." he mumbled, smirking slightly as he glanced at Shu's head, tugging a small knot free. "I guess though we could hit you and knock you out like we were talking about? Then we could talk to the Spirit and get everything figured out then and there." Lifting his head again and looking at T'charrl, Takeshi flushed slightly before rolling his eyes, "Kidding, by the way. No one's knocking you out."

There were people that wanted Viral as a weapon, no doubt. There were people who wanted him dead and others who wanted to test him like a lab rat. He had been surrounded by people who wished ill for him all of his life so Yumi could understand why he might be so negative. But she knew too there were people who wanted to help and support him, not just those the Beastman was with now either. People like Doctor Ikura had come and gone over the years but there were plenty who tried to be on the side of Viral. "Vegeta had to have had a reason for doing that though. Look at how he's been trying to help you, do you think he'd be doing all of this if he just wanted to get rid of you? Maybe he had something planned, or something in mind. Have you ever asked him about it?" Vegeta would explain himself if asked, she was certain of that. Whether the Beastman would want to hear his explanation or not was another matter, but Yumi was fair certain there was a good reason for it all. There had to be, their friend wasn't the kind of person to sell someone off like that. Sighing to herself she rubbed at her head, glancing at Viral sadly after a moment, "I really mean it. Sure we didn't know anything really, but we did know we loved being around you and we didn't want anything to change that. And we still don't. Why is it so hard to believe that people actually want to be near you?" This conversation was starting to get kind of depressing, not the way she had hoped to spend their day. The one saving grace they had right now was the banter about food, maybe that could lighten their moods a little bit. "What if we both prepared it? You get the meat, get it ready for whatever we're making, and I'll make the broth and throw vegetables in. Then we each did our part, you get the meat how you want and it'll be something you can put down."
