This was a rather unfortunate predicament, especially now that the water was flying everywhere and he couldn’t exactly focus on anything. It was only luck through Viral’s strength that he wasn’t going into berserk mode when this was extremely frustrating in itself. He couldn’t think straight and was just trying to find his mind again, but that was proving to be difficult after he already lost focus. Despite trying to claw the salamander-fish he couldn’t quite manage by himself, his genes working against him in granting no such thing as a motivation to fight against what essentially should’ve been a giant meal to him. Feeling his arm near pop out of its socket there was a sudden force that threw him downwards and an audible screech in the water, the creature letting go of Viral to wipe at its nose with its stubby arms to try and get the attacking Yumi off. Viral, on the other hand, was having a gentle float through the waters as he spun away, not looking all there in the head as he bumped off the bottom of the lake.
 
“You had alien money. That’s not good money to her…more like handing her spiny flowers and insisting they won’t hurt her”, Kai sighed, not exactly feeling patient enough to deal with Kabocha’s stubbornness, “If she apologises to us for not accepting our money, I’m giving you a kick for being a prick and making her uncomfortable. We’re supposed to be making a good impression here, not freaking out the locals and making them believe we’re all jerks”. Even one bad impression could leave a lasting one amongst an entire race and he wasn’t wanting to have to go through the effort of trying to make everything better once again. Kabocha could ruin a lot of things for them if he insisted on being a jerk. “It matters when I don’t particularly like being stared at by a bunch of aliens while I’m eating. Unless you’re into that”, Kai shook his head, looking around at the passerbys before back to Kabocha, frowning a little, “Vegeta? Are you sure about that? He’s probably going to talk about nerd stuff…but if you insist, you can call him while I get the food”.
 
Shu was worried about his friend, thinking they probably shouldn’t had taken their eye off him or kept him close. He didn’t know where he went hiding because he went away first to hide, but even though Haku was probably the last to try and find a place it seemed he had no idea or a care to where T’charrl went. If his friend wasn’t responding on the scouter then something was wrong or he had lost it without realising. It was always hard to tell whether his friend had ears for the scouter to attach to but he might had if it held in place somehow. Feeling a little disheartened by his friend’s absence he looked to Takeshi for advice, hoping he might find something he couldn’t from the trees. Looking around again he sighed, feeling completely unsure right up until there was a strange noise in the forest, something that sounded pretty out of place. Looking to Takeshi quickly before around again he got all anxious, bouncing on the branch a little, “Ooh! Ooh! That sounds like bad stuff…” he muttered, looking around quickly, “But where? Sound bouncing…can’t tell where! Where’s friend??”
 
L’esta really did manage to hit hard despite his enhanced strength, the whole hit feeling completely uncomfortable and undesirable to go through. He wasn’t used to such high powered attacks hitting off his blades yet, he had barely fought at all since changing so many times so this definitely made him feel the difficulties of fighting real opponents. Despite all that, T’charrl’s blade didn’t break and withstood the attack. He needed to think of a way out of this and fast, already he was feeling completely overwhelmed and unable to cause harm to the man simply because he knew him so well. Hissing lowly he backed off a little, watching L’esta decide to go for a different tactic before watching as he suddenly made a dash around, feeling overwhelmed already by the Captain’s actions. It was very easy to confuse a Kaesstrian when you knew how and the Captain definitely did. Looking around at him hastily he almost fell over his feet, trying to keep an eye on him with hope that he could dodge whatever he threw at him. “Stop! You’ll regret this! I’m not threatening with that either!”
