"What...? No, they like you Shu, don't be silly. They don't talk to me much either, or even Vegeta or Yumi for that matter. If their not talking to you means they hate you then they hate all of us, and I really doubt that." Seriously, how could you hate Shu? Sure, he'd bit Kai that one time, and he'd kind of gone all crazy monkey at first, but those were in the past. 99% of the time the little guy was fine, far easier to get along with than most anyone else in their circle. Takeshi couldn't imagine one single reason anyone might genuinely dislike Shu; their father probably hated him but his opinion was worth less than a lump of poo. Trying then to explain purity to his younger brother he became a little flustered when it was turned back on him, becoming a little pink in the face as he shrugged his shoulders. "Well... I mean... You know..." Takeshi mumbled, scratching at his cheek, "I guess? But I don't make them angry on purpose, that would be stupid. It's not my fault either, they can't take a joke." Maybe he said some off-color things now and again, but it wasn't enough to warrant the potential brain damage he always got. He was never crude really, even he wouldn't say something like that, and he never hit a girl unless you counted training with Yumi as such. Looks like it was their turn to introduce themselves to the King, and just in time too. Aseel was really pleased with how these children were behaving, and they seemed like a nice enough bunch. A bit unusual maybe, but far be it from him to judge for being different. Smiling as introductions went around he looked over to Shu when he had gone last, letting out a chuckle when food was requested. "Aren't you an energetic little one? If Shu wants fruit then Shu may have fruit, we've plenty to go around," the King replied, "We'll go ahead and eat in a moment I'm sure, if the rest of you are hungry as well. We just had lunch but I don't imagine a little snack in the courtyard would be too much." Fruit was always a nice treat, especially if it were prepared more as a dessert. Perhaps he would have some dishes brought out for his guests to try, more of the sweet and candied variety. Being addressed then by T'charrl he looked back to the Prince, nodding his head and giving him a pat on the shoulder. "But of course, whatever is on your mind we can discuss. But come, let's go to the courtyard and enjoy some nice food, yes? I've nothing to keep me today T'charrl so you have all the time in the world to speak, I assure you."
