Takeshi wanted desperately to keep Shu at least moderately okay on their way out, however he might do that. Maybe the promise of home would work, as the little guy had rather liked their house during their brief stay there. "Well... I'll show you how it works too, okay? I'll show you how a ton of stuff works," the older boy replied with a smile, "I guess we're long overdue for some lessons, but when we finish this I'll start teaching you stuff, okay?" It was kind of hard teaching Shu about Earth when they weren't even on the planet, and it didn't make much sense teaching him when things were so different everywhere else. Shu did really want to know this stuff though, and it was about time they actually did teach him. "Vegeta and his dad will know what to do for you. And even if they can't help, I'll ask them what to do. Then I can help you, you know? And don't act like it's a pain buddy, they wanna help you and all, people are just busy right now." Or maybe they didn't know how to help him, though he doubted that was completely the case; Takeshi earnestly wasn't sure what to do with Shu, but the rest of their friends were much smarter than he was, they should have some idea. Reaching around his brother he grabbed the straps of the seatbelts, gently strapping him up and giving his chest a pat, "Just uh... Focus on getting home, alright? We'll be in and out today, and your big brother isn't going to let anything bad happen to you."

Yumi really wanted to try being positive right now, to keep both herself and those around her in good spirits. Doing so however was proving to be difficult, there was too much stress and negativity floating around to even try. Sitting in her place in the shuttle she leaned forward some, having to close her eyes and take a few deep breaths as she worked on forcing out all the emotions, managing to close them off to some degree and relieve the discomfort a bit. When she opened her eyes again she could tell everyone was nervous, but at least now she wasn't feeling it quite as much. Shu was trying to be comforted by Takeshi, and the twins were off by themselves as usual, with Kabocha taking the controls it seemed. T'charrl looked like something was really eating at him, and she was about to get up and check on him until Haku moved beside their friend, striking her as a bit odd but nonetheless making her smile slightly. So long as everyone had someone to help them out they would be fine, both here and on the battlefield. Easing back into her seat, Yumi pulled down her seat belts and strapped herself in, hearing the engines spark to life just outside. Hopefully it was going to be as easy as they had said, though she wasn't going to hold her breath for the King and his crony to just roll over for them.

"Hey... So we're really doing this aren't we?" Haku asked, smiling nervously as he sat down beside T'charrl. Chuckling uneasily he grabbed his seat belt and fiddled with it for a moment, trying not to tremble as he attempted to get himself strapped in. "He really doesn't like deserters, the King... And half of us are deserters... I wonder what he'll say..." Nothing good obviously, he was rather glad there would be others there with him. As an individual himself he wasn't terribly strong, and one could only hope because of that reason he wasn't going to be targeted for leaving the military; Why waste time punishing him when he wasn't a threat? Letting out a shaky sigh he leaned back into his chair, slinking down slightly as the engines came to life and the shuttle began to rumble. "Can we... Fight together when we get down there? If it's alright with you I'd like to," Haku said, glancing over at his friend uncertainly, "I'd feel a lot safer having someone strong like you with me, especially with who we're fighting. I don't know how much help I can be, but I'll do what I can." Feeling the shuttle lurch briefly, thanks to Kabocha's unfamiliarity with the ship, it finally rose up into the air after a moment and began moving, probably on towards their destination. Swallowing nervously, Haku shifted around in his chair and looked down at the floor, "This is going to be hard..."
