"I uh, I don't mean you're weird, that's not it! I mean how the Spirit... Changes, depending on what it's with, that's weird. I don't know, I would think it would just look one way." There he went speaking like an idiot again, oops. Now he was looking like a fool too trying to backtrack and defend what he had just said. Shu didn't ever slip up like this and he barely knew how to speak by comparison, then again that might be why too. Smiling awkwardly Takeshi gave the back of his neck a rub, chuckling slightly before resuming picking at Shu's hair. "Sorry, we wouldn't hit you, bad joke, my bad. And you're not letting anyone down, don't sweat it. The way things are going too it's almost impossible that you won't get better, you know? All we want for you is to get back to your old self, which is what you want too, right? We're just trying to help you along is all." Come to think of it was that actually what T'charrl wanted? There had been a lot of them saying he should change back but he hadn't said it much himself. When he had too it sounded more like he was just going along with what everyone else was saying. Takeshi was a bit confused now, he wasn't sure if this was what their friend wanted. It had to be though, right? He couldn't imagine anyone wanting to constantly be changing the way T'charrl was. Glancing down at Shu he smiled at being done with the grooming, ruffling his brother's hair. "There, think we're all finished. I do alright buddy?"

Yumi still wasn't buying into Vegeta disowning Viral, no matter what reason the Beastman gave. She couldn't deny that their friend spent less time with Viral, he'd done the same with her as well, but she didn't fault him for it. There was a reason behind the attempted sales, one that they weren't going to know unless they went right up and asked Vegeta about it. Claiming anything else right now was just unfair. The conversation at hand was doing nothing but dragging Viral down, and slowly Yumi along with it. They should really try changing topics unless both of them ended up depressed, that wouldn't do anyone any good. "You don't have to be the most sociable person to be fun to be around. Fighting or hunting or exploring with you has always been fun, and the fact you might not talk much doesn't change any of that. The King didn't know what to do with you I'll bet, he just tried forcing you into something he figured would work best for him." Bringing it back to food again for a moment she tried to divvy out the responsibilities instead. Viral wanted to hunt and she did as well, who was cooking and how the food was to be prepared was up in the air though. Even when she tried to mediate and divide the job between them Yumi found that her friend was only getting upset. "We'll worry about cooking after we hunt, it's silly to think about cooking before we even get the food anyways," she remarked, "How about we go see Vegeta? I think your medicine should be ready and we can ask him about those deals, if you want. I bet he has a perfectly good explanation for it."
