"Because I'm trying not to rely on Ki for everything, so blasting it isn't an option," Yumi explained, smiling slightly, "Though I guess I'm using Ki for flying and all, so maybe that's a bit of a moot point." It wasn't as if she were completely helpless if she wasn't using that to fight; martial arts could more than supplement her lack of energy. Even without the energy her speed was fairly good and her strength definitely better than a regular human's. Much of the reason she might use Ki in a fight now was simply due to who their enemies now were, and the fact Saiyans used Ki without so much as a second thought. While she would try to honor Viral's way of fighting sans energy it couldn't really be avoided in a real battle. But that was beside the point, and not what she should be focusing on now. Leaning over once both herself and the Beastman were she scooped him up quickly, immediately smiling apologetically once he was in her arms. "Sorry, sorry! I didn't think it would be a big problem," Yumi said, "I'll go a little slower this time, okay?" Viral was bleeding after all, and potentially from his head, so dashing and jumping about wasn't going to help him any. Rising up to above the trees much more steadily this time Yumi started off again, her pace probably half of what it was before.

How could Kabocha not be in a good mood right now? He came to an alien world figuring he had absolutely nothing that made his family nobility only to find he could get plenty of money here as well. To top that off he had the means of getting anything he wanted too, that was nice. Biting into another piece of fruit he looked over at Kai and grinned, shrugging his shoulders before wiping off his mouth. "Why can't it be the money? We're on an alien world and yet I'm still rich, what isn't to be happy about? And if you think independence from my parents has ever been an issue then you really haven't paid much attention have you?" He was near always away from his parents and he loved it, and even while on the same ship he spent minimal time with them. Were they a normal family he might find time with them enjoyable, but they were anything but. 

"Kai has a point, money doesn't mean happiness," Vegeta added, looking over at Kabocha plainly. "If you think that's the case then you're clearly an idiot. I'm one of the wealthiest people on our planet and yet the money means next to nothing to me. Is it convenient to have? Certainly, but it doesn't equate to being happy." It wasn't so much the money itself one loved as what it could give them, he could see that much in Kabocha. Even so, to derive your happiness or enjoyment solely from money was just sad. Not infallible himself however Vegeta was soon to go on his own bout, smiling as he put down his food and wiped off his hands. "Technology on the other hand... Now that is something to become excited and happy over. Do you even know the machines and prototypes I've seen since we've arrived here?" he asked, looking between the trio. Smiling a bit he shook his head, picking up another piece of his meal casually, "Of course you wouldn't, my words would be lost on you if I even began to explain what I've seen. I suppose it's worth mention that the Kaesstrians are advancing, quite a bit in fact. They're already not the same peoples we saw before, it's astonishing really."

Age didn't matter all that much, Takeshi supposed, half of their group hardly acted their age anyways. Far as he could recall everyone was darn near close enough in age, save for Yumi, Viral and Vegeta who were all a good few years older. It did make him wonder what the difference might be between Kaesstrians being 15 years old and a Saiyan or Human being the same age, since obviously time was a bit different for each. Heck, for all he knew T'charrl could be 30 something in human years! That would be odd to find out for sure. "I bet if we asked we could figure out how old you are in our years, or how old we are in yours, you know? Buuuut... That sounds like an awful lot of work, so maybe some other time." There were other things that Takeshi wanted to do now, like eat and see that their friend was taken care of, a sentiment Shu more than readily shared. As if on cue no sooner had the little guy said that the Captain would return did he see a familiar face flying towards them; the city must be even closer than he had thought. Good news for T'charrl too was the guy was alone, so it was nice to see their trust hadn't been misplaced. 

There were some occasions in which unrestricted access within the castle was quite handy, and this had been one such occasion. In spite of going into the Prince's vacant room scarcely anyone had paid the Captain any mind, and he'd managed to get what he had come for and left without so much of a word. No doubt Eslaria might bring it up later, or Yusef should he catch wind of it. Hopefully by then T'charrl would be back to himself and he could explain for him. Making haste back to the clearing where he'd found the Prince and the others L'esta breathed easily seeing they were still there, and the only ones there for that matter. Coming to a gradual stop he landed by T'charrl, smiling politely as he bowed his head. "I sincerely hope you can forgive me for my transgression, Prince T'charrl... I did not know. With luck maybe this small gesture can help in bringing you back to us. Also..." the Captain paused, reaching back into his pouch and taking out a small glass jar. "I grabbed a solution from Renthal before leaving, this will help heal the wound quickly. But first, I wanted to give you this." Kneeling down the Captain offered up a wrapped up picture, inside of which was an image of T'charrl as his regular self and his parents, a royal family portrait.
