Takeshi was feeling awfully awkward at the moment, everything that came out of his mouth was just making things worse. Even when he tried apologizing for himself it only added to the awkwardness, he couldn't get himself out of this hole. Smiling apologetically he finished grooming Shu, rubbing the back of his own head nervously as he looked up at T'charrl. "Yeah, yeah. No rush right? We're just trying to help you, not force you to go faster, nope." At this rate he might end up sounding like Shu with all his bumbling. Funnily enough it was the younger boy that actually came to save it, offering what reinforcement Takeshi couldn't manage to. That was how he felt too, just not able to say it really. The whole not liking bugs very much sort of made him trip over himself, and he sure did feel bad for being a bit afraid of his own friend. Nodding in agreement with Shu, the Saiyan glanced over at their friend with a small smile, "Yeah... Just think about seeing your mother again, all back to your old self. And just because I might, uh... Have a little trouble, doesn't mean I don't like you. Don't let that get in the way of the fact we're friends, you know?" Looks aside they had done a lot together, and would likely do even more before they were through. Even having to coexist with his biggest phobia wasn't going to keep Takeshi from spending time with T'charrl. Sure, he may inadvertently wet himself one of these days but that was what he'd have to put up with. No way was he going to lose any friend just because he was a bit uneasy around them now and again.

There was a reason for what the King was doing, of course there was. Yumi didn't know what that was nor did she care, that monster's reasons were worthless to anyone but himself. What had been done to her, to Viral, to the boys, it was all for something that the King and the King alone could appreciate, and because of that it was meaningless. Sure, everyone was struggling a bit after the fact but Yumi tried paying it little mind, she wasn't going to give that man the satisfaction of knowing he'd made their lives hell in some regards. It was all the more reason too for them to get better, to show up perfectly healthy and bring him down after what he'd done. The first step of getting better would be seeing Vegeta and hoping he had finally made the breakthrough to help Viral back to his old self. "If you really wanted to know I'm sure Vegeta could tell you," she replied, opening up the room and casually strolling out to the corridor, "If nothing else he's brutally honest, you know that. Vegeta will tell you what you want to know if you ask him." Chances were if asked Vegeta might even tell Viral too much. They should probably be careful with their questions then, it wouldn't be nice if their friend happened to let something particularly nasty slip, though maybe it was best to know anyways. "We should ask how he's getting along with his work though, don't you agree? Maybe if he's getting close that might cheer you up a little."
