Takeshi was a bit deflated he couldn't help Shu, and even just saying he'd given it a try wasn't quite good enough. He wanted to make things better as the older brother and he couldn't even do that much, what a joke. He couldn't get all bummed out though, he was supposed to be the one to keep the little guy in a good mood and so he'd do just that. Of course it was a little challenging to do so when the topics on hand were all kind of a let down, and inevitably it went back to Viral. "So we're coming full circle, huh? Yeah, he's pretty sick buddy," the older boy said, smiling sadly as he shrugged his shoulders. Giving Shu a curious look then Takeshi folded his arms over his chest, leaning back against the wall as he raised an eyebrow. "Oh yeah? What did Viral do to try helping? Was he trying to keep you happy?" Maybe that was just his misunderstanding things, but it sounded to him almost as if the Beastman had been looking out for Shu. Takeshi had too, in a way, but he couldn't get nearly as close to his brother as Viral must have been able to. Jeez, so did that mean in a way Viral was carrying loads for both himself and Shu? As if things weren't bad enough the guy had been trying to protect his little brother, and unfortunately had failed in that regard. "I didn't know he had been trying to protect you... I'll have to thank him when he wakes up." 

"Well we'll just keep you out of tiny rooms, then there's no chance you can get stuck!" Yumi declared, smiling as she nodded to herself, "Though if you're worried about what you might do maybe that's a safe way to handle it. Just think... It'll be so squished you'll look like this." Placing hands on both of her cheeks she squashed her own face, letting out a laugh afterwards. It wasn't a joking topic really but laughter helped to break the tension, and if she could get T'charrl to laugh a little hopefully that would help. This business with the spirit was interesting, she'd never imagined that someone would be able to talk to the dead like that. Sure she'd heard of a few who could, but T'charrl was really the first she had seen do so in person. Smiling thoughtfully as he spoke a proverbial lightbulb went off in Yumi's head, making her smack her fist into her hand excitedly. "Aha! That's it!" she said, beaming up at her friend, "You can talk to the spirits in the trees, right? Well maybe they can help find wherever that spirit came from! They must be able to detect each other, maybe like how we can sense Ki. Animals have scents, people have scents, everything has it's own energy, there's almost always a way to tell something apart from another and I bet it works this way too. When we go back what if you tried asking other spirits about it? Maybe they can tell us how to help the one in you."

Ah, now Vegeta remembered why Ricken was decidedly less than pleasant to work with. They had done him no wrong far as he could recall and yet the boy was as vindictive as ever; Sasha was attempting some semblance of civility, but he could tell she was a bit strained too. Regardless of their behavior the news they had to share were quite good, and he couldn't care less for any ulterior motives. Sure there was slight concern over why the rebels truly wanted to find Namek, but he'd concern himself with that later. Top priority right now was reaching the planet and getting the Dragonballs so that Viral could at last be cured properly. "I see... Well then please feel free to come join us onboard, we've got more commodities here than you do in that little ship, I'd wager. Just call the bridge again when you're nearby and they'll let you in." 

"Right, understood." Ricken said flatly, lifting his head stiffly as he leaned forward a bit, "You owe us for this, remember that. We've got our own problems to deal with and we are in no way-"

Sasha quickly clamped a hand over her brother's mouth, smiling exasperatedly as she pushed him away from the camera, "Sorry for him, he's cranky because he hasn't slept. We'll see you shortly, thank you!" 

Thank goodness the transmission ended then, Vegeta wasn't sure how much more he could take of the dynamic duo. It seemed to him like Ricken was being difficult simply for the sake of it, so he wasn't too upset to be done with him for now. Besides he had good news for the first time in what felt like forever, they were finally accomplishing something significant in the way of helping Viral. The possibilities didn't end there either, once the Beastman was seen to surely they could help Shu, and even T'charrl for that matter. Yumi claimed she was okay with her situation but he wanted to revisit it soon anyways, just to make certain nothing was really wrong. Smiling to himself he allowed himself a small cheer, freezing as he got the uncanny feeling someone was watching him. Blinking owlishly his head swiveled around slowly, glancing over at Viral's tank as his eyes widened spotting his friend moving about. He wasn't supposed to be awake just yet, though now was a good a time as any given the situation. Hurrying over to the tank he smiled at Viral, turning on the speaker inside of the tank itself to speak to him. "I suppose you're wanting to come out of there, fine, but before you do... We've found Namek!" Vegeta said, shaking his head before letting out a chuckle, "Or rather we're about to, with some help. I'll get you out of there in just a moment, just let me know if there's any serious physical pain before hand. I don't want to take you out of there if there is, not just yet."
