"And that is why we have the tea, to help relax your body. There are alternatives as well, but I figured tea is the simplest route, and it's the only one we can enjoy out here," Aito responded casually, smiling as he relaxed in the grass, "It's a good sign that you're fatigued like this, believe it or not. It shows that yesterday proved to be a workout for you, and with some rest your muscles will build mass. Rinse and repeat as the saying goes, and pretty quickly you'll be regaining strength." It might be a few weeks until Viral had returned to his former level of strength, but at least this was a proof of concept in action. As he regained his ability to work they would up the load as well, slowly enough as not to injure him yet enough to keep him pressed and exerting energy. Hearing Viral becoming downtrodden and completely misunderstanding the meaning of what he'd said, Aito lifted his head and smiled slightly, "You misunderstood, I meant spend casual time with you. I was always working before, and since coming back we've been working. I'm glad to be able to enjoy some quality time with you, that's all." If that was to be Viral's stance on what had happened then so be it, he'd come to appreciate that his actions were not voluntary, sooner or later. Laying his head back down Aito folded his arms beneath them, staring up at the clouds as they floated by. "Perhaps lay down? Your muscles might be straining since they're having to support you in an upright position, so lying down could help relieve some of that." That was twice now that Takeshi had freaked out, rather on edge about Shu getting hurt. How in the world was the little guy turning a simple game of catch into such a stressful activity? He'd gotten so worked up over his brother he'd run over to make doubly sure Shu was unharmed from his fall, completely getting blindsided by the ball as it struck him in the head. It wasn't painful, but more surprising and hence it knocked him over: the ball rebounding and smacking him a second time didn't help either. Lying down in the grass in a daze he watched as Shu came over and began circling him, smirking when he started to get worried. "Oh... My head... I think I broke something! You'd better check buddy!" he said, faking rather awfully as he placed a hand on his forehead. When Shu came down close enough he reached up and grabbed his little brother, grinning as he began to try and tickle at his stomach and sides. "Ha! Got you squirt!" he shouted, laughing as he tried to keep Shu in place, "I'll keep tickling you til you wet your pants! Better run!" Sasha felt like she was beating a dead horse by repeating herself, but it was for Kiton's own sake she did. Korian really took offense to their own being harmed, one only had to look as far as Viral to see that. Granted what had happened with the Beastman was an extreme case, but she still voiced an air of caution. "I wouldn't say she's in charge, she's more... Well let me put it this way. Korian knows how to put plans into action, but he's not the best at making them. Sayomi makes plans, Korian executes them, so in a way they both need one another, it's what makes them such a good team." From what she understood they were a formidable duo even back in the Saiyan military, and given their record together as well as her own personal experience of them, she'd believe it. Smiling apologetically when Kiton got upset over her laughing she gave a wave of her hand, hardly thinking he had cause for worry. "Everyone's busy today it seems, they'll come back for you. They saved me and Ricken, two people they had never met in their lives, and my brother notwithstanding I think we're on good terms with them still. They won't abandon you, so don't worry," Sasha explained, "And whether it's changed or not doesn't much matter. We're out of the jurisdiction of the Galactic Police here. Uuonoe has a history of neutrality, and while they're now sided with the rebels, and who isn't, that fact hasn't changed. They don't harbor criminals, so the police have never bothered. I think as long as no one sells you out you're fine, but if checking will help you relax then we can still do it." Korian wasn't sure what angered him more, the fact Krom acted smug for having this knowledge, or the fact it had been withheld up until now. There would have been so much trouble spared, so many lives saved if they had known the truth from the beginning. Thinking the King was strong enough to handle both these beasts and the rebels by himself was an absurd notion; Yamate was strong, of that there was no doubt, but even he had his limits. In addition to that the fact that the creatures were only able to be slain by Viral's particular form of energy made any effort on the King's part moot... And theirs as well. "Viral cannot be expected to fight in his current state, he's barely able to move around. That doctor of theirs is working on him, but I don't know how long that will take. If he's our only chance of really slaying these creatures..." Maybe there was an alternative, some other way they could fight the beasts. What was it about Viral's power that made it so unique? Wasn't it solar based? By that logic even he could come up with a plan; focus solar energy at a focal point and use it as a weapon, they had the technology for such a weapon. Granted using them in a wide area or mass producing smaller arms would be far more challenging, and then people still had to be capable of using them. "And do you propose that you train them? Is that why you're here?" Korian asked, frowning as he glanced at Krom distrustfully, "They're currently recovering, we cannot expect them to just suddenly begin a regiment with you, or anyone for that matter. I won't disagree they've been casual about this entire affair, but they're children, what can you expect? You had better have a damn good reason why you should be the one to train them, because I cannot do it, and neither can Sayomi. If what you're saying is true then we have a lot of work to do and perhaps not a lot of time to do it."
