Takeshi really didn't want to hurt T'charrl's feelings so he had to come up with a lie. Unfortunately for both of them he wasn't always the quickest when on the spot, and no sooner had he spoken did he cringe internally; a lousy lie wasn't going to fool the Kaesstrian, he was too smart for that. Smiling nervously he was sure enough called out on it, feeling awfully embarrassed and like a lousy friend for trying to deceive the guy. "I mean... I know that, but still... It's kind of long, don't you think?" he asked lamely, quite unwisely trying to stick to his guns. Ouch, now he was getting called out for it as blatantly as could be, he really couldn't deny that. Sighing he shrugged his shoulders, looking away as he rubbed at his neck. "I... I'm not used to it, that's all. And Shu's hair is... Different? They have different feelings. Besides, when he and I first met I didn't much like his hair, or him for that matter, right buddy?" Takeshi asked, looking to his brother for a little help here, "But look at us now. I like you plenty T'charrl, I'm just not used to you yet, that's all. We're still friends, right?"

"We've all recovered since the battle, you haven't. I would be impressed if you managed to kill all of us," Vegeta remarked, sounding somewhat amused. Especially now that his father and mother were present too, that made just another pair that Kiton would have to deal with. "As I've said, we have nothing to gain from turning you in. Nor do we have anything to gain from keeping you here, aside from perhaps another friend. What ultimately becomes of you is your choice though, we're not going to be making you do anything. Just know if you remain here you're likely much safer than if you go off on your own." Given his life prior to all of this Vegeta suppose that a degree of paranoia was only natural. Between having to contend with Kiton's worries and Viral's at the same time however he knew he would get quite exhausted rather fast, so it was a blessing that Aito was back to help out. 

At long last the food seemed to be ready, as the fish was beginning to flake apart simply by being moved. Eager to dig in himself Vegeta turned off the heat and removed the pan from the burner, draining a bit of liquid that had run off before placing the skillet aside for the moment. "Let me rephrase what I said earlier... We are not the rebels, but we help them. Our ultimate goal is aligned: to bring down the King and restore peace to the universe. That being said we're free to do as we please, so yes, I suppose you could say we were 'wandering around' when we stole the ship," Vegeta explained, putting the fish onto a decent sized plate as well as the sides he had prepared, "We have plenty of time to talk after a meal though, so how about we focus on eating for the time being? Go find a table, I'll bring the food out and get us set up."

While in truth dealing with Viral and his terrible condition wasn't Aito's ideal way to come back he was still more than happy to do it. There was no way in good conscience that he could just leave the Beastman out to dry so to speak, he wanted and needed to try and help. Having arrived in the library, the first thing Aito figured they should do is make themselves comfortable, or as much so as they could. Chances were it would be nigh impossible for Viral to relax, but being better situated should make talking come a bit easier. Watching as the Beastman struggled to get settled on the couch he smiled sympathetically, wondering if they should go ahead and 'restart his system' so to speak. There was a way to get Viral to change to normal, but doing so would leave him rather drained. For the purposes of this meeting he didn't want Viral being too tired to speak so he would wait, if only a little bit. "So then... Do you still feel poised to kill me at any moment? Or did our little exercise alleviate some of those worries?" he asked, smiling as he took a seat in a chair opposite the Beastman, "Please don't think I was trying to put you down by doing that. I simply wanted to show there's no reason for concern, I can defend myself."
