"Well my face is open, hit it all you'd like," Vegeta shot back, deflecting another strike with his forearm. So Viral could still be spurred on into a fury it seemed, meaning there was a potential for him to pull a Takeshi and fight blindly; the fact that the Beastman hadn't changed out of anger though was promising, it ensured that his body was through shifting sporadically as it had been. After knocking his brother down to the ground he was surprised to be tackled in turn, making light of the situation right up until he saw the claws raise. Perhaps his anger problems hadn't subsided quite as much as he'd hoped. Preparing to dash away if need be, both of them froze up when Aito's voice chimed in, flustering Vegeta in the process as he glanced up to see their father perched in a tree. Just how long had he been there?

Well this was an interesting situation to come back to, just what had he interrupted? Sipping at his coffee casually as the pair of boys broke up their fight, Aito arched an eyebrow when Viral accused him of spying. "Me? I only just got here, I saw you two sparring and didn't want to interrupt," he replied, smirking then as he swirled the liquid about in his mug, "But I couldn't help myself there, I had to say something. So... Sorry about that?" Seemed like someone was righteously furious right now, was it truly so bad to have their session interrupted? It wasn't as if they couldn't resume now that he was here, unless they preferred the privacy of just the two of them? "I know it is, and I didn't mean to make light of it, I apologize," Aito responded as he sipped away the last of his drink, frowning as he turned the mug over and tried shaking out a few drops. Finding nothing left he shrugged and set the mug at his feet, looking up at Viral approvingly. "So how about it then? You and I spar, let's give Vegeta a break, hm? I doubt he'll mind terribly, right?" 

"Er... Not at all, be my guest," Vegeta answered, stepping back and waving Aito on to go ahead. Why did Aito want to spar? Had he noticed something too just a moment ago?

"Wonderful, then I'll be your opponent for the time being," Aito declared, smiling as he held out his arms, inviting Viral in to make the first strike, "I heard you pack quite a punch, let me see just how strong you are!"

While it was clear T'charrl didn't quite understand what friendship was he'd at least come to a good person to have it explained. No one had been as close to her over the years as those around them now were, but Yumi had her own experiences she could draw from. To her what made a friend a friend seemed obvious, and it was only a matter of sharing that with T'charrl. "Wouldn't say it if I didn't mean it! I know they'll be happy that you're out and feeling better," she answered cheerfully, glancing back and smirking knowingly, "In fact, I think you can even ask them yourself now!" Putting a finger to her lips she ducked into some of the bushes nearby, sneaking through them and circling around to where Takeshi and Shu were. Hearing them busy with a conversation she took a seat beside the older boy, suppressing laughter when he freaked out after realizing she was there. She'd spooked Shu as well, and gave the little boy an apologetic smile before watching him bound off to meet T'charrl. He was still really upset over that wasn't he? Poor Shu...

"He's right Shu, it wasn't your fault," Yumi chimed in, coming up behind the boy and stroking his hair as she leaned down, "Krom held T'charrl and used him as a shield, now that I think about it. Head's still a little fuzzy from back then, but that's what I think I saw. Right Takeshi?"

Huh? They were asking him? Pointing to himself for confirmation he sighed when Yumi nodded, rubbing at his neck and looking away, "I mean... I think that's what happened? I didn't really see it too well, I figured maybe our old man did it. Or..." Was it their father, or had it been Shu? Hm, he remembered T'charrl being hit and Krom being there, but not the specifics. Side effect of being in a blind rage he supposed. Wracking his brain for a clearer picture he glanced back at Shu and saw his uneasy expression, smiling and giving him a thumbs up. "That sounds right, I just needed something to jolt my memory. It's Krom's fault, he put T'charrl in harm's way, you know?"

"Exactly, so it isn't your fault for what happened, you're innocent," Yumi reiterated, standing back upright and placing her hands on her hips, "And we're all still friends, that didn't change either. Mistakes happen and we've got to learn to move past them, that's all. So no reason to beat yourself up over it Shu." He would probably feel guilty for a while yet, but she hoped shedding some light, however hazy it may be, on the situation relieved some of that. Hopeful to put that behind them at this point, Yumi grabbed hold of Shu's hand and tried getting him to his feet, placing a hand both on his back and T'charrl's. "Now that we cleared that up, how about we all have a fun day together? It's beautiful outside and we've got all day to do whatever we want!"
