Would Viral simply prefer if he left the room? Maybe not, then he may worry that, unsupervised, something may go wrong. Then again it seemed to be that supervision that made him uneasy in the first place. And did he suppose that by doing a simple exercise he wasn't being watched? Vegeta could easily jeep an eye on the Beastman as he did crunches, it wasn't a task that demanded all of his focus. "Perhaps we can find fish again then. Though... As I remember it, they had killed that massive fish hadn't they?" he mused aloud, pausing in his crunches as he glanced at Viral, "We can head to the market after this then, we'll find some fish for you. It won't be the same kind obviously, but with luck it'll still be good." Either that or they could get food from some restaurant, provided any where open. With the state that the Capitol was in right now it was likely businesses were closed for a while, save for ones that sold essentials. Resuming his exercise, Vegeta wondered if there was some potential of getting food delivered here too, seeing as Viral was hesitant to be around other people. Did any place here deliver food like that though? Perhaps they could ask the rebels for some help in that regard, save them the trouble of being out and about. Why did Kiton keep giving him strange looks? Leto was very passionate about this, or most anything for that matter, everyone knew that. Perhaps not the Frost Demon though, albeit he'd learn rather fast that this was just how the Yulian was. It wasn't as though he was trying to say anything demeaning, his intent was to put up Kiton and make him feel better about himself. "I do know what I'm asking, and I know it's a lot. But nothing in life is gained without effort! Even if you wish to become powerful as you say, to reach your potential, you'll have to put in immeasurable amounts of work! Why then is it so wrong to think that effort can be focused somewhere else? You can gain strength AND become a better man for it, they don't have to be exclusive." You didn't have to forgo having a conscience or being compassionate for power, Korian was an example of that. Perhaps an even better example was this doctor who traveled with the Princes, a man whom he knew very little of but heard great things. He was a stranger to Uuonoe, and yet he'd been seen around the city helping and tending to wounded, despite having no reason to. THAT was his idea of a true man! "You speak of the Princes? They are busy my friend, but I am certain they have not forgotten you! Come, let's go see them now, I'll prove it to you!" "So you'd just die, because it's for your people?" Takeshi asked, scoffing before giving a shake of his head, "That's stupid. What good are you when you're dead?" Was Krom seriously just an idiot? If he died then his whole bravado about fighting for his world was worth nothing. Besides, fighting someone like the King wasn't something you just casually did, he could seriously kill you if he wanted to. Whatever, if that was how he was going to be then there'd be no loss of sleep over it. Watching as the Elite made some very blatant and obvious moves, Takeshi deflected them easily enough before answering with a strike of his own, annoyed that Krom was suggesting it was like him fighting. "I have defenses, don't be stupid," he retorted, dodging the downward strike by jumping to the side. Leaning his body then in the opposite direction he jumped up and aimed for Krom's back, seeing as he was now partly bent over, trying to kick him down and into the floor. Aito was determined now to get Shu talking, keen on figuring out what had the young boy so on edge and uneasy. "Any problem can be helped, you just need to put some effort into it. And we're doing that right now by talking about it," the doctor explained, still smiling as he waved Shu to sit down. Despite trying to come across as friendly it didn't appear like the boy was relaxing any, still meek and reserved as he didn't even look up to meet his gaze. "So you bite and scratch... Why is that? What about fighting makes you afraid now?" From the way he spoke of it, this sounded like something had changed recently to instigate these fears. But what? It had to be something fairly powerful, something perhaps over the course of a long period. With as little knowledge as he had about Shu right now he couldn't even make a guess, hopefully that could be fixed. "Shu? Can you tell me what it is about fighting that scares you? Do you worry about being hurt when fighting? Or hurting someone else...?" Aito asked, keeping his voice low and soft, "Or is there something else?"
