Viral needed to get his head together, but it was fairly difficult when so much had happened to him emotionally already, the problem with recovery being all of that was screwing with his senses. It was hard having absolutely zero focus and trying to find it after such difficulties including trying to move his body, especially after being flailed about by a giant fish monster. Trying to catch his breath as well as his senses only for them to be knocked by the creature’s force as it swam through the water, his tail nearly getting caught in its torrent and throwing off both Yumi and Viral. He didn’t know why he was finding it so hard to concentrate, the answer could’ve easily been because of the water. It had been a long since he had been near any water and going back to it while in this condition was throwing him off completely. He was fine until he got attacked by Yumi; that was when everything slowly fell apart for him. The creature was still determined to make Viral its prey as it swam around again, the smell of blood from him was definitely too strong to resist. Going deeper down when trying to separate them didn’t work the creature soon took quite a dive only to suddenly twist around and immediately swim up, trying to charge into the pair by diving straight out at them.
 
Kai was fairly certain he could get a good bit of food from this woman if he picked carefully, finding it to be a pretty good deal to have this much choice and not have to cook it himself. Choi probably felt the same way, seeing how they both had to cook a lot while on the ship. Holding out the money for the Kaesstrian he smiled a little, his eyes looking to Choi quickly before back again, this time going to the food. There was so much to choose from, but hearing that there was some meat too made him feel curious. It looked like jerky and probably tasted like it too, definitely something to try out. “Hmm well, we’ll take a fair bunch of both the fish and steaks then, also a bunch of your dishes you’ve prepared. We’re having a friend come and meet us soon”, he spoke, looking into the money pouch before back to her, “I’m not sure how much I’m supposed to pay you, so I’m just going to pretend I know and throw money at you until it’s enough to pay for the food, okay? Make sure we get a fair bit of that meat you have. Maybe you looking like you’ve sold a lot will have people buying more”.
 
T’charrl thought he had control after all this time, throughout their entire travel he had only changed when he metamorphed but he knew what this meant when he felt like this. His energy was recognising that he was in danger, even if his mind didn’t want to attack L’esta. All this trying to find control had got him nowhere and now he was trying to find it simply to prevent him from killing L’esta. Trying hard to find the control he needed against this fearful response he took hold of his head, trying to cover his eyes momentarily but was soon having to turn to L’esta as he made an appearance and was indeed taking the most aggressive approach possible. Turning around to try and use his own blade the Captain proved to be too quick, his body taking a fair slice across the abdomen and chest as he let out a yelp in response. Backing off a few steps he was soon left shaking, a claw going to cover his wound before his glowing eyes immediately became vicious and strong, his toothy snarl soon showing itself before he threw his claws down before L’esta as his body gradually started growing larger quickly and much more vicious.
 
Shu didn’t know how T’charrl had managed to wander this far. Maybe he got chased and they didn’t even know it. He was struggling to understand who would want to attack their friend, but then again there was a lot of people out there who cared more for appearance while he had no care on the matter. Their dislike over appearance confused him greatly, but maybe others found him scary because of his big teeth and claws. Racing through the trees to get to his friend he glanced down at Takeshi, not doubting what he was saying at all. “Uh huh! Friend! Help friend!” He needed to get there quickly, they couldn’t let their friend get killed. Nobody was at fault here and he knew that, but he still felt the need to treat it like an unfortunate situation because they decided to play around and not watch him. Seeing the figure up ahead move straight ahead he heard a strange but pained noise, gasping in response. “Ah! Friend!” Racing even faster through the trees he made one last leap, trying to tackle the smaller yet still larger Kaesstrian, “Leave friend!!”
