"Well you certainly don't annoy me, you never have. I really enjoy talking to you actually. Everyone has their own... Unique way of talking, it's a quirk that makes us who we are! Takeshi has that tick, Shu talks... Well he talks kind of like a little kid, and I always pause whenever I'm talking. It's little things like that which you notice after a while, everyone has it. A certain tone, words people use a lot, those sorts of things." It was similar to how T'charrl said he looked different, which he did. If everyone was exactly the same, spoke and looked the same, the world would be a terribly boring place. The only way a difference annoyed her in any regard was if someone was bothersome with it, or if they lauded it over you or played it up to get sympathy. Expecting everyone to be humble or happy with themselves was asking a lot and she understood that, but it would certainly make things a little easier. "But when you think about it... Where is Otherworld? How far away is that from everything?" Yumi asked thoughtfully, tapping the butt of her fork on the table, "It could be further than we've even traveled and still you made a portal there. How would that make sense though? You can open one far, far away, but not next door?"

June pursed her lips when Viral again refused her idea, looking down at the table as she then bit down on her lower lip in thought. There had to be [i]something[/i] she could say to get him to rest, some way he would be okay with it. So he didn't want to sleep in public, okay, what if they went back to the house then? Granted the yard there wasn't all that big for these kids, but they didn't have to keep to the house anyways. If they went off to have fun then she could stay home while Viral slept, give him privacy all the while. "There's always a way, you just haven't found it yet," she suggested optimistically, "Maybe... Before you try to train and get strong again you need to be comfortable with the simple things? Eating, sleeping, you can't do a whole lot if those are giving you trouble right?" Sitting upright in her seat June slammed her fist into her hand, a determined smile on her face as she looked at Viral brightly. "That's what we'll do! We'll go back to the house, I'll keep everyone out of the back yard and you can sleep outside, we'll even set up a hammock!"

Who knew watching someone try to use a fork could be so nerve wracking? Maybe nerve wracking wasn't the right word, but seeing Shu try to eat with the utensil definitely strung Takeshi up a bit. The little guy was trying no doubt but he was about as capable at it as he himself was at swinging in trees. "I mean... Yeah, yeah you did it, but it's... I don't know, could use some work, you know?" the older boy asked before shaking his head, smiling and giving a dismissive wave, "You can eat how you were buddy, it's fine. I just wanted to see if you remembered how to do it was all, good job." No sense in forcing him into doing something he clearly wasn't comfortable with, probably only going to make even more of a mess if they did that.
