Well if that didn't break June's heart then nothing would. Shu had never known his mother? She couldn't imagine anything worse, she'd have been completely lost if she'd never known her parents; yes her father was an evil man, but he'd still taught her things and how to live, or more often how [i]not[/i] to live. Parents were meant to be around to help their children learn, sadly it seemed like Shu never had such a thing. "Good things will always happen, and if you think positive then they might even happen more," June reinforced with a smile, "Don't think of it as bad things are always going to happen. Life is never just good or just bad, you must know that right? Whatever happens is only as powerful as how we think of it, Aito told me that, and you've met him. He always used to say things are only as bad or as good as you make them. So... Try to forget bad things and look forward to the good that will come!" She certainly wasn't a therapist, she felt completely out of place saying all of this. It was rehashed from something Aito had told her years and years ago too, when they had first arrived in Otherworld in fact. Those words had comforted her enough to be content where they were, and she hoped she hadn't misconstrued them too much here. June wasn't the only one feeling bad for Shu, Yumi wanted to help him relax too. What was going on was such a simple, innocent thing. Loud? Certainly, but there was no harm in it. Giving the young boy a sympathetic smile she pulled him in close, and after making sure it was okay used her hands to muffle the sounds, placing them over his ears gently. It wouldn't drown out the noise entirely but perhaps just enough to make it bearable, for however much longer it might be going on for. Takeshi and Viral may be enjoying themselves bringing down a building but it wasn't quite a group activity they could all get into, now was it? Worried as well that T'charrl might be having a hard time of it she asked if he was bothered, somewhat relieved that he wasn't. "Oh your head is sore? Why is that?" Yumi asked with concern, sounding almost maternal as she looked T'charrl over studiously, "Are they being too loud and they're giving you a headache? Or did you not get to eat enough earlier?" Maybe that was it, he'd been on such a lax diet and now he had been taken away from his meal. She was in part to blame for that of course, but so were the others. "As soon as those goofballs are finished breaking that building we'll find you some fruit!" "Ow ow ow, dammit! I got a stupid splinter!" Takeshi whined as he held up his hand, meticulously trying to pluck the sliver of wood from his fingertip. How was something so damned tiny so fricken painful? "Oh like you've never fallen out of bed on accident, even once!" he shouted back defensively, more engrossed in his not-so-mortal wound than arguing with Viral. Finally managing to pinch his fingertip he yanked the splinter free, sighing with relief and flicking it away. Right, now where had he been? Glancing at the wall as it sat precariously, shattered by his strikes, he rubbed his knuckles and got ready to smash it down. When Viral then jumped on it and told him to clear out he opened his mouth to argue before shrugging, figuring he'd leave the rest to the Beastman at this point; the roof wasn't going to come down around Viral's head, he should be fine. "Have fun dude, don't make too much of a mess," Takeshi said as he turned, waving before running to the front of the building and jumping out, landing before Shu and Yumi. "Hey buddy! Sorry about that, Viral and I saw this building and-" Now there was another pain, this one in the form of Yumi smacking him so hard he spun around and fell on his rear. "OW! What the heck?" "What do you think you're doing running off like that, huh? And you're scaring Shu with all that noise!" Yumi said testily, narrowing her eyes at Takeshi as he pointed down in his face, "You could at least tell us what you're doing before disappearing!" "Jeez... Alright I getcha, sorry, my bad," Takeshi grumbled defensively as he nursed his cheek, getting back to his feet and dusting himself down. Looking at Shu he smiled apologetically and walked over, lowering himself and ruffling his brother's hair gently. "Sorry about that Shu, we just got distracted, that's all. You okay now?"
