"Look, I get stealing, I do. I wasn't exactly a good kid growing up, you know? Still not exactly an angel, but I try not doing what I used to. Stealing is easy, I won't argue that, but it's wrong. And besides there's bound to be plenty of animals out here to hunt, and unless we kill someone's dog or something I think we're okay." It was somewhat annoying that Kiton didn't want to partake in the hunt, it would be helpful to have another person helping track their quarry and kill it. Come to think of it, did the guy even know how to hunt? Being on the run all the time must mean he didn't have a chance to stop somewhere and look around, probably meant too the only way he did know how to get food was through stealing. "I usually go for fish, or something big and tasty looking. Shu will eat whatever I get, though he definitely likes fruit the best, don't ya buddy?" Takeshi asked, grinning at his brother, "Aaaand... Speaking of fruit, look up ahead!" Among the swathes of trees he could see bright yellow fruits hanging in the branches, resembling large, fleshy pine cones. Flying right up to the fruits he looked at them curiously, vaguely recognizing them from their last visit here. It had been used to help garnish the fish, hard to say what it tasted like alone. Smirking at Shu he reached up and plucked one free, holding it in both hands and offering it over to the younger boy, "Here Shu, you try it! Tell me what you think." Aito felt a bit uncomfortable the more they got into this topic, really reluctant to share the exact details surrounding Viral; rather, it was the decisions that led to attempting the task in the first place he didn't fully want to divulge. Frowning he let out a sigh, crossing his arms and watching again as another group of Uuonians hurried by, one of them even stopping to wave, which he returned with a slight smile. "Our original intent was to create something to defend Earth in our absence, that much I've told you. It was the intent of the project up until your inception, but when you were actually born..." the doctor began, trailing off as he shook his head. He really did not like sounding so sentimental as he was bound to here in a moment, yet it was only right that Viral understand why his upbringing was so complex. "I couldn't see you as just a weapon, nor could June. No matter how you came to be you were still our child, and as such we did everything in our power to raise you as such. Obviously there were members of the project who hated that, who wanted you to be used solely for the reason we began, but I couldn't do it. Did I intend for you to fight some day? Of course, but I would never be able to solely say your existence was to fight. I simply wanted you to live, and by doing so find your own purpose. I was sure if anything ever happened you would fight, but I was never planning to force you to." Perhaps it was the fact that Viral was, in essence, their child as much as Vegeta was, maybe that was why he was so attached. Haku had never thought much about Yumi's ears one way or another, only acknowledging that they were different for a human. So T'charrl liked those better than their regular ears then? He couldn't say why that was, scratching at his head in thought before dismissing it with a shrug. People liked different things, that was pretty much all there was to it, he couldn't say the alien was wrong for thinking Yumi's ears were nice. "Maybe they're just intimidated? You were pretty big when I first saw you, and you got even bigger when we started fighting. Look at us now though, we're practically... Well we're practically friends." Was that okay? He didn't know if he could call them friends yet or not, but at the very least they were getting along for the time being. "If you work on changing... Maybe they'll not be intimidated anymore? Don't you kind of change when you least expect it? Could be they're uneasy about that. But if you showed them you knew what you were doing then that might go away."
