Oops, kind of killing the mood with that one, probably best to move off of that whole discussion. "Of course they're gonna give us food, why wouldn't they? I mean we helped out when Uuonoe was attacked, so I bet they'll be throwing food at us," Takeshi replied with a grin, "In fact, I doubt we'll even have to ask. If we want food I bet they'll just go ahead and give it to us." Maybe that was a little fanciful thinking, as no one was going to wait on them hand and foot regardless of what they might do. Besides, even if they weren't handed food they planned on hunting anyways, so it wasn't as if they were going to go without. It would be more fun hunting too, and it was a pretty safe bet they were going to do that regardless; was T'charrl going to be joining them on the hunt though? "Well... If we hunt things that aren't in the water then you can hunt with us, right?" Takeshi asked eagerly, "So you can come hunt with us, no way are we making you sit alone while we go have fun, that's not cool, you know?"

"I bet there's ton of stuff we could go and hunt too," Haku added, smiling slightly as he wrung his hands together nervously, "Uh... Maybe something not so big though? I mean... We can definitely find a lot of small things, that would work too, I'd think." That way they weren't having to fight anything massive or threatening; after their encounter with the monster on Namek he was just about all set with giant animals for a while. Really he would be fine with just little things, so long as he got to go along for the hunt instead of being left behind. 

Vegeta wasn't trying to come across as an ass, he just wanted to teach Kiton to know the difference between fantasies and reality. It was well intentioned, but he knew he really wasn't coming across as that. All of his work with Viral had left him more exhausted than he though, and right now he was pretty much hanging on threads with regards to his sympathy. Letting out a sight he shook his head, getting the last of the food in place to cook before going about washing his hands and the utensils. "I know you're not an idiot, I never said you were. Even intelligent people can make mistakes, that's all, I know I'm certainly prone to them. I guess just exert a certain degree of caution is all. And I don't mean towards us, as I've said, there's no reason to be afraid of us." The only single person Kiton may need to worry about was Viral, and that was only due to the unpredictable nature of his condition; with the Beastman being cured there wouldn't be a single person in this group who might threaten the Frost Demon.

"I suppose it's reasonable to be afraid of strangers, and as for T'charrl's healing he needs energy to perform it," Vegeta explained, turning to face Kiton as he leaned against the counter, "He borrows energy from the person he's working on to heal them, or someone around them. If I had to make a guess he uses that energy to mend their body, kind of how the Namekian did it. Only in the Namekian's case they can use their own energy, where it seems like... Maybe T'charrl's own isn't compatible." A lot of conjecture there, but he had been wondering why the same process worked differently for two people. It made sense when explained that way, as the Namekians used Ki like them whereas T'charrl used his own energy. "Well... Hospitality is what a decent person gives someone, stranger or not. You were injured when we found you, we won't well leave you there to die," Vegeta said in a matter-of-fact attitude. Looking at the Frost Demon for a moment he smiled slightly, 

Watching Viral lash out so blindly was fairly painful to witness, if only because Aito knew the conflict it must be causing. Viral would never do this normally, something was seriously wrong if this was how he reacted. Even if he had been given the order to attack before it would have been in a more collected, controlled manner, not this vicious lashing out. Seeing no purpose in provoking the Beastman further he promptly pinned Viral down, getting Yumi to come over and do her part. Watching as Viral gradually came down from the rampage he smiled with relief, glad that his plan actually worked; he'd never really seen Yumi exert that influence before, certainly not to this degree, so the fact that it worked this time was a welcome relief.

"You can't kill me Viral, not this time, so don't worry about it," Aito said gently, releasing the Beastman as he got off of him, "If I felt that I was in any real danger I wouldn't be doing this alone, I've no desire to go back to Otherworld so soon. Trust me, I'm not an idiot, I know what the threshold is here and what is and isn't safe." It was why despite wanting to work alone he was bringing Yumi along, she was the buffer between them. If Viral were to go on a rampage again it wasn't a question of whether he could stop the Beastman or not, but what kind of damage might be done in the process. Having Yumi not only kept him from having to fight Viral, but with luck meant that they would never reach that point again. Looking over at the aforementioned girl he noted her dejected look, hardly fooled by the small smile she wore as she saw to Viral. "You're an integral part to his recovery, you know that right? Without you he may not get better, take pride in that. You are in effect saving someone's life here, that's not something to be sad about."

She knew that, what a big part that she was playing here with Viral. That wasn't the problem persay, it was more that it was the [i]only[/i] thing she seemed to be now. What would she do once Viral did recover? There didn't seem to be a ton of options, and she really didn't know what she might offer. Vegeta was smart, he could help the others and pilot ships, plus build all kinds of things to help them out; Choi and Kai were excellent cooks, they made sure that everyone was well fed; T'charrl could heal them and was one of the strongest fighters, and Shu and Takeshi were in a way the pair that brought this whole group together, but what about her? It made her feel awfully out of place in regards to the rest, and she was sure even those who were new to their team had more to offer. At best she could be there as support, but what could she really do otherwise? Nodding her head silently she began to help Viral get to his feet, pausing and looking at Aito confused when he put a hand on her head.

"You're a martial arts expert, aren't you? I remember you always loved to train in it as a child, and I know you've spent some time training since then," Aito said, smiling as he rubbed Yumi's head before taking his hand back, "When this is said and done I'm sure there are some people who might need training. You've got some intimate knowledge that others don't about how to fight, and I'm sure you'd be able to teach them. Who knows, it may be time for you to become an instructor yourself." That made her lighten up a little, but it would probably take a little longer until she was perked up again. Looking at Viral he reached out and helped steady him as well, glancing up at the Beastman apologetically. "I hope that proved my point, but now I know where our work will start. Shall I explain so you've some idea, or shall I spare you the boring exposition?"
