They hadn't taken away nearly as much as Yumi had hoped, figuring Viral might be happy to hear progress was being made. Until they actually solved this thing though it looked like he wasn't going to cheer up at all. Not that Viral exactly did happy really, but at least he was content before. The very least that could be done for the time being was give him his medicine and hope that alleviated a little bit of his troubles. Vegeta was against self medication, and not without reason, yet Yumi was more willing to let her friend give it a try seeing as she'd be around him near constantly. Her ears perked up a bit when Viral offered a retort, her lips twisting into a smile as she folded her hands behind her back. "I was just wondering, maybe it was a bit different, you never know. And it is too going to end, you heard Vegeta. He was saying it could be just weeks until you're better. Think about it... You've been like this for how long? Over a year? Compared to that the time you've got left is nothing. I know you can tough it out while he finishes his work, you'll be better before you know it." She just needed to stay at his side, that was all that was required of her. So long as he had some kind of support and someone to keep him busy there wasn't a risk of anything going wrong. Now that she knew to be more careful too there was less risk of an unwanted change. "Hm... I would think you should take it with food, and considering the last time you ate was... Two days ago, you probably should have something," Yumi mused, tapping her chin thoughtfully with a fingertip. "Which means we're heading to the kitchen! Even a snack will do."

Even after all his time with Shu the older boy just couldn't understand why he loved fruit so much. With T'charrl it was a bit more obvious, that was more or less all they had on Kaesstra, or all they ate, so that was natural. Shu had been around all sorts of things for a while now though and still basically lived off the stuff, it was a bit boring. Takeshi wouldn't be able to do it, he'd miss meats way too much. A nice juicy steak or big fish beat out apples and peaches any day. Speaking of he really ought to have grabbed something for himself while there, his stomach grumbled just to remind him he was hungry. Pouting he glanced back down the corridor, being some ways from the kitchen already. No use in going back, he was still wanting to get to Shu and T'charrl quick as he could. Glancing back at the platter he looked it over, eventually opting to have himself one of the mangoes. Awkwardly balancing the tray on one arm he held the fruit in the other, biting down and immediately groaning as a fair bit of juice seeped down onto his shirt. He couldn't win for losing, he'd just put these clothes on a few hours ago too! Wrinkling his nose he licked what he could off of his chin before wiping the rest on his sleeve, sighing irritably. "Stupid juicy mangoes... They are yummy though..." he mumbled, taking another, more careful bite. Hm... How the heck did Shu eat these things without getting all messy? He'd have to remember to watch his little brother and find out, it was such an annoyance.
