"You should try it T'charrl, it's good!" Yumi urged gently, smiling as she offered up a piece of fish. He hadn't eaten much earlier had he, just some fruit and not much else. Surely by now he was feeling hungry and ready for some real food, not the puree food they gave in hospitals. Watching as he accepted the piece she awaited his response, giggling when he commented on how strange it tasted. "It's a good weird though isn't it? We call that taste buttery, it melts in your mouth right?" she asked, slicing half of her serving up and placing it on T'charrl's plate for him, "It's good for you too! At least fish back home was really good for you, I'm not sure about the ones here though. I always try to eat some just because it's healthy though!" 

"I just eat it because it's delicious!" Takeshi laughed, placing another big slice in his mouth and sighing happily at the flavor, "Fish was super cheap back home too, you could find it almost anywhere. Its softer and tastier than beef, its better for you than a lot of fruits and vegetables and there's a lot you can do with it!" He'd seen all sorts of ways which fish could be prepared in East City: fried, grilled, broiled, sauteed, breaded. He still didn't know what most of those meant but he remembered the tastes, and boy had they been good! 

"But you need a balanced diet Takeshi, otherwise you're not getting everything you need," Yumi chided before taking up some of her vegetables, "Especially us where we're fighting and training all the time, it's especially important. A good diet, plenty of rest and a good regiment, it's not just a matter of eating steaks all day and lifting weights." Though to be fair she knew some people who did that, and sure they were muscle-bound but not much else. And being healthy was more than just being strong too, you had to take care of your immune system too. Pausing in her meal to sip at her drink, something which reminded her of a slightly bitter tea, Yumi smiled at Shu across the table and playfully kicked his foot beneath it. "That goes for you too Shu, I know you like fruit but you need to be sure to eat protein too!" she added, winking as she spoke, "Not as much as Takeshi though, he eats too much."  

Takeshi might eat too much but Viral wasn't eating enough. While the rest of them enjoyed the meal he was just sitting there, staring blankly at the food but never making a move for it. Did he think he couldn't eat? Frowning in concern June grabbed a free plate and placed some fish and vegetables onto it, getting up from her seat and bringing it to the other end where Viral sat. "You should try and eat a little Viral, even if it's only a few bites," she suggested as she set the plate down, wearing a kind smile. It was only fair to him that he got to enjoy the food while everyone else was. And seeing how forlorn he was looking she simply couldn't sit by and watch him sulk. Placing a hand on his head without even thinking she gently stroked his hair back, going even as far to take his fork and slice the fish up into smaller pieces for him. "Sorry... I know you don't like when you get attention like this, but it's my job," June admitted with a laugh, setting down the fork and taking back her hand, instead sitting down beside Viral. "Are you tired? You can take a nap you know."
