"Do I think it will make everything better? No, but it can't hurt. I'm certainly not going to stand here and berate you," Aito replied, smiling in spite of Viral's outbursts. He wasn't thrilled at agitating the Beastman like this but he had to get insight into what the problem was and just how far along it might be. As he'd expected he was becoming almost feral, his more animal side winning over reason. That supported his theory that the genes were deteriorating and now he knew precisely what needed to be done. Simple gene therapy wasn't going to cut it, they would likely have to rework his genome from scratch in order to stabilize things. The rate of deterioration, he figured, was much too quick for any simple injections to solve. Could it perhaps stave any serious damage? Perhaps, but it wasn't going to fix anything. They would need to put Viral into stasis, keep him sedated while they worked to prevent his body from acting up and harming itself.

Watching as Viral fell to the ground, Aito glanced over to Yumi with a puzzled expression. What had she just done? Evidently her appearance wasn't the only thing that changed, she had just in essence soothed a savage beast. Peculiar, but handy and probably saving him the trouble of restraining the Beastman himself. Letting out a soft sigh he looked down at Viral, wondering how he would feel about the treatment. No doubt he would be happy to begin recovering but to be put under for potentially a week or more wouldn't be so thrilling; if Viral didn't agree to that then they would have to approach the problem a different way, and this far Aito had only come up with the single idea. Moving to squat down he blinked when he felt the back of his collar be grabbed, standing straight and glancing behind him to see June giving him an exasperated look.

"Honestly Aito, we only just got back and you're provoking him. Do you really want to go back already?" June asked, releasing her husband as she let out a sigh, "We can do this without agitating Viral, so please don't. He's been through enough already, he doesn't need anymore pain." Turning her attention then to the Beastman she gave him a soft smile, kneeling down at his side and looking him over. He was so changed, but in ways worse than the others. She didn't know the science behind Beastmen but she knew this wasn't right, and it wasn't even remotely how Viral had looked before.

"You poor thing... I'm sorry you're having to go through this, but it's going to get better soon," June said gently, reaching out and stroking Viral's hair, "You don't have to worry anymore, Aito and I will make things all better. And when we do we'll all go back to being a family, just like before."

This was a nice little scene, seeing Aito and June reuniting with Vegeta after so long. Was this what their own reunion with their mother would be like? Takeshi didn't even know these people yet he was feeling pretty happy, sniffling as he smiled at their friend. For a usually stoic and serious guy he sure looked happy right now, and his cheeks were damp from crying but then who could blame him? Realizing his own eyes were slightly watery Takeshi used his sleeve to wipe his face dry, sniffling again and letting out a small chuckle. It kind of made all of the crap they went through today worth it, and now that Viral was getting help things were only going to get even better.

"Wow... Big scary Takeshi is crying?" Haku teased, smiling slightly as he looked over at the Prince. Getting a good smack on the back of the head for that comment he winced, grasping the spot with both hands before frowning, hardly thinking his tease deserved that slap. Still he'd managed to get to the other boy, and seeing him smile regardless of being poked at made Haku smile too, relieved that his joke had been taken alright.

"Shut up Haku, you're not crying because you don't know them," Takeshi retorted, his face a bit red out of embarrassment. If Shu had any real idea of what was happening he'd probably be all teary eyed too, same as T'charrl. Speaking of someone who was utterly clueless Kiton sounded like he really needed some explanations. Looking over at the Frost Demon he smiled slightly, gesturing over to Aito and June. "Those are Vegeta's parents, they were dead for a while but now they're not. Aito is the guy that made Viral and now he's back to help fix Viral, which has been a long time coming. They seem kind of cool honestly." Even if Aito was pretty casual with aggravating the Beastman, it seemed like an awfully risky move. But hey, he was the smart guy so he had to know what he was doing.
