Viral was still struggling to try and combat his fear of eating, especially when it was complete unnecessary at this point. He had the serum if he ever did show signs of attacking and if things were to go wrong like he would get sick then there was surely some medicine for that too. Maybe he just feared being all weak and brittle, like it could be avoided if the very thing that could make him potentially ill was never given to him. He was going to be weak and brittle without food, but even if he tried to think through that his mind continued to subconsciously go to being paranoid over the food over thinking he might get better. Watching Vegeta eat so effortlessly made him a little mad, but it wasn’t as if he could get around that kind of thought pattern when being able to eat without a second thought was something he couldn’t do quite yet. Sighing as he looked down at the plate again he slowly picked up a piece of steak, holding it in his claws as he frowned. “The galaxy isn’t all it’s cut out to be, though. You are all in so much more danger than you would otherwise be on Earth”. It was his fault essentially for trying to spare them the horrors of further attacks on Earth, but dragged them into it too. The moment he was out of Saiyan control Yumi ended up paying the price as Earth was attacked, his deal with them being broken. So much trouble he had caused. Closing his eyes momentarily he let out a groan, eventually opening his mouth and tossing the piece of meat in. Swallowing the chunk as soon as it hit the back of his throat, coughing aloud afterwards. That felt generally pretty awful and was certainly able to make him feel a little sickly, but he had to keep going for his own sake.

Krom let out a groan, disliking how little regard Takeshi had for others. He was acting like a proper baby about it too, seeing how he was all mopey and grumpy over the very thought of helping his people get through hard times. The Saiyans were not a massive group, there was very few left and they always looked up to a proper leader, even if Yamate’s family was practically elected into royalty because of status. “Are you really scared of a challenge like leadership? Or do you just want people to suffer? There’s children who could use a role model to look up to who is not Yamate, someone who is not a ruthless warrior”. Krom knew he wasn’t that kind of material, especially for children who are being forced to grow up the same way he grew up with. Maybe Takeshi will eventually see the Saiyans needed someone who was different, maybe to encourage a healthier lifestyle. Hearing Takeshi finally make a decision on what he should do for Shu he folded his arms, sighing lightly. “Your tail is not your leg. If you’re determined enough to have a tail again, it will grow back…but, seeing how you don’t really care, you shouldn’t care about that too”, he sighed, looking away to the broken door, “It is your friend’s turn to be trained, seeing how your brother ran off with that doctor…”

Viral was feeling pretty terrible for a fairly long time after eating that food, probably due to worry above anything else. He didn’t know what he was supposed to feel after all of that but it was certainly not a pleasant feeling for a very long time. Without anything happening to him and with Vegeta and Aito happy that he had managed to eat he could only hope he wasn’t going to have to put up with anything else that was going to end him through stress. Sitting around in a bit of a mood he looked to Vegeta who reassured him nothing bad had happened, giving a grunt in response. He was certainly a little moody but that was because of how long it took him to get over the stress of eating. Sighing lightly, he slouched before his attention was taken to Vegeta who made a further suggestion, staring at him for a moment before looking off to the side. “Hmm training? You are certainly confident in me, huh…” he sighed, scratching his cheek, “If…you truly are confident in me and not pulling my leg…then fine, I’ll try some training, seeing how I stomached that food you gave me…”

After spending so long in the hospital T’charrl was quite frankly feeling terrible, even if they had done their best to make him feel better. The nurses had done their best to make him comfortable and with him being the last one to be released they were certainly worrying over him quite a lot as time went on. He had taken quite a hit back on the other planet, so much so that he had used a lot of the energy he had gathered during the battle to keep himself alive. That building would’ve killed him otherwise so he was lucky to even be alive. Despite being released he was still feeling pretty terrible and everyone was busy so that didn’t help his mental state. Sitting down near a small garden patch he stared at the flowers, feeling particularly lonely before gasping when he heard someone calling out. Looking up and around he spotted Yumi, staring at her as she gave him a wave. “…Oh, uhh Yumi! Yumi…I-I’m feeling better, yeah”, he spoke, rubbing his claws together briefly before he gave a little smile, “I am feeling sore, yeah. They didn’t really know how to treat me properly because of what I am, so it was hard…”

Shu thought he had done alright with that play therapy Aito set him up with but he didn’t know what he was supposed to do fully quite yet. He was feeling unsure about his current progress in play therapy typically because he got carried away when trying to play out what he did with his brother, but there was a lot that he was hesitant about. Shu was pretty certain he would get better at the play therapy, but he didn’t know what was in store for him either. While Aito had stopped his play therapy for this time on Takeshi’s request he didn’t understand what he was supposed to be doing, wondering whether Takeshi just wanted to train with him or if they were going on some sort of adventure. Feeling a little nervous even if it was Takeshi he stared at the ground as Takeshi spoke, his eyes soon wandering to the trees. “Oooh, umm…training with Krom? He always been strong, though. Only reason he left us alone last time was…umm…a few things…” He knew it was because of him changing and Viral getting taken away that Krom had left them alone, but he didn’t feel comfortable mentioning them. Feeling pretty curious about this whole trip he stared at the trees, squeaking when Takeshi gave him a nudge before he turned to him. “Huh? Tough? Me? I don’t understand what to talk about, though. Is it because of me trying to train…? I tried, I did…really did…”
