Yumi was doing what she felt was best, even if it meant doing something as awkward as tearing her shirt up. They should cover Viral's head wounds either way just to keep the blood from trickling down, they were bound to close on their own soon enough. Plus he looked sort of neat with a pseudo headband on, or he might if it weren't baby blue. Even if he wasn't wanting her help she felt partly responsible for the situation he was in and she had to try doing something to make amends for that. Yumi understood she wasn't going to be the one to finally make the Beastman feel better, she knew that, but she could at the very least help him along. Stepping back into the hallway she tried one last time to get Viral to open up a little, prodding about what he was going to say a second ago. "Saying something is bothering you or hurting you isn't a sign of weakness," she remarked, frowning as she rubbed one of her arms, "If you ask me... Trying to hide it all is weaker. It shows you can't trust those around you enough or don't think it's worth mentioning. Nothing is as weak as holding back, don't you agree?" He didn't need pity but he sure was getting it. Those who weren't pitying Viral were his enemies, everyone else felt sorry for him to some degree. Near everyone who knew the Beastman was a fighter in some shape or form, none of them would want to be in the state he was. And everyone would probably be coping the same way he had been, poorly. Sighing softly Yumi smiled up at Viral, placing her hand on his paw and giving it a small patting before continuing towards the mess hall. "No one views you asking for help or sharing your problems as weak, Viral. And it would help you heal much faster if you told just what was on your mind, I'm sure."

"Eh... If we go back to war then we go back, but I'm not holding my breath," Takeshi mumbled, folding his hands behind his head, "The way I see it our old man is busy with whatever is attacking both sides, so it's not like he's hurting anyone. And who knows, maybe the rebels can finish it without us. I'd love to get some payback for what that creep did to Shu and Viral, and Yumi too... But it'll be dangerous, you know? The more we can keep our friends out of danger the better. Hell, that's kind of how Shu and I ended up in this mess in the first place." What an idiotic move that had been, chasing after Viral on their own. It still bothered him that he'd done it, because the whole testing and capture thing might never have happened. They could have gone as a group to save Viral, probably rescued him and none of this would be happening now. In short Takeshi still felt responsible for what had gone on, but was powerless in his mind to change or fix anything. Be it Shu and his problems or Viral and his issues none of it could be helped. Getting slightly bummed he closed his eyes, a small frown on his lips as he leaned back completely on the wall. "If there's a will then there's a way. If we can't eat them then fine, we won't. I won't kill what I can't eat, as long as it's not a jerk. Just tell me before I go blasting some endangered species out of extinction, will you? I don't want all of Kaesstra hating me because I went and killed off some creature." 

It was nice Shu was showing a bit of enthusiasm as well. Between the two of them they should be able to get T'charrl to come along, he would want to play with his friends right? All this support and whatnot ought to be enough to spur the Kaesstrian into changing back if that's all he was missing. "You'll find it, no reason to get all scared. Look how far you came in the last few days, you're getting closer a heck of a lot faster than we thought you would, so technically you're ahead of schedule. We just got to find what that last piece is, that's all." There had to be something they could do to help things along. Describing his old appearance didn't help T'charrl much, they'd tried that a few times now. Nor did his drawings do anything for it, which left Takeshi pretty well out of ideas. If they couldn't tell or show their friend what he looked like then what else was there? Nodding his head he opened one eye, looking over at T'charrl and smiling slightly. "I could think of something to draw, whatever piece you can't remember about yourself maybe. And your mother won't kill you, but she'll probably get all slappy knowing her, she's kind of scary sometimes." Opening both eyes then Takeshi glanced up at the ceiling, inhaling deeply through his nose before exhaling through his mouth and shifting a bit in his spot. "It'll be fun when you are back to normal, you know? We'll be able to do things like wrestle and play hide and seek, and you won't have to worry about other Kaesstrians getting all spooked. Maybe just think about all the fun things you used to do, and that you'll be able to do with us once you change back? Maybe that'll help you figure out what you're missing."
