This time around it was Kabocha's turn to dope slap Choi, hitting him upside the back of the head with a small smack. They had all thought that Shu changing would be bad, but everyone else had enough tact not to say it. Even as indirectly as that, he'd still come out and said it. Giving Shu an uneasy glance the other Saiyan smiled, walking to the edge of the couch. Hesitantly he reached down, patting the Prince's head before withdrawing his hand again and taking a small step back. It was really hard to feel at ease around this kid, and when T'charrl had just transformed into some kind of creature it didn't bode well. At least the kid was fairly calm right now albeit confused. So long as they kept him that way they should be okay. "He's going to be fine, that's that. His mom just went to find him and your brother probably just went to do the same thing, so don't worry." If this was what Shu was like constantly it was no wonder Takeshi was always acting irritatingly cheerful. The slightest thing got him all depressed, and frankly it was bumming Kabocha out. He could understand it if Shu was a little kid, but really he wasn't. There was only a few years gap between all of them, so it wasn't as if they were that different in that regard. The maturity gap between them and the younger Prince was astounding though, and if he didn't know better he'd put Shu's age around eight or so. If this was what having a sibling was like then he was pretty glad he was an only child. Eslaria kept as still as she could during the embrace, only moving her hand in a gentle stroking motion. It may not help anything other than calm T'charrl's nerves, but until they had another means of helping she'd settle for that much. By the sounds that she could make out he seemed to be settling down, definitely nowhere near as panicked as he had been. Well that was a welcome relief, she could do that much for him at least. Giving him another hug she paused when he began to shift, almost worried that he was going to take off and try to run away again. That didn't turn out to be the case, the truth was more startling than that. She could feel his muscles begin to shift beneath his skin, a rather unsettling feeling at that. Uncertain what was going on she removed her arms from around him, backing off a little ways for somewhat of a safety margin. What she witnessed had her just as shocked as upon first seeing her child lumbering over him. By some inexplicable cause the Prince began to shrink, losing a great deal of muscle mass and regaining his familiar features and even his fur to a smaller degree had come back, though he retained a fair many of his new ones too. Even so, it was more like her son than the creature before, and that had her elated. With a bright smile she landed noiselessly on her feet, glancing up at her son adoringly. He was still taller than she was, though only by a head this time, far more manageable. With a slimmer frame she could now approach him easily, and without a single word she wrapped her arms around his midsection, mindful of the odd orb protruding from his chest. She didn't know what it was, or the other ones for that matter, and couldn't care to ask. At the present the only thing that concerned her was getting her child back, enough to a point where he was himself again. After simply holding him the Queen looked up, smiling sadly as she gazed into T'charrl's eyes. He may look different, but this was irrefutably her little Prince. "There's by boy..." Eslaria remarked cheerfully, reaching up and patting his cheek. "Welcome back." Yumi smiled brightly when Viral finally came to, clasping his paw in both of her hands. He'd woken from whatever torment he'd been sleeping through, relatively easily at that. She wanted to be supportive of him and make sure he was okay, but upon noting the trickle of drool on the corner of his mouth she had to take one hand back, covering her own mouth to stifle a giggle. Viral [i]never[/i] drooled, certainly not in his sleep. Even if he had been having a nasty nightmare there was something humorous in this. Settling herself back down she released Viral's paw, tucking her own hands behind her back and swaying a little on the spot that she stood. Beaming down at him with an innocent smile she figured she might as well justify his mumblings with a response. "Good morning sleepy head, sorry for waking you. You didn't seem fine though, you were having a bad dream." Yumi explained, doing her best to somber up a bit. "And... There may have been a small earthquake not ten minutes ago. So Vegeta and I figured we'd come in and check on you, make sure that you were okay." "Which you seem to be doing fine," Vegeta added, smiling slightly as he replaced Viral's bandages onto the wound. "We'll give you some new ones in a bit, but your injury is already beginning to heal up. I'd say give it a few more hours and it may even close, depending on how your healing is acting. While I've got you here, is there anything else that is bugging you?"
