"And on Earth humans don't enter the service until they're eighteen, sometimes even older than that. Clearly our experiences are vastly different," Aito pointed out, the differences in their worlds clear as the sky right then. No wonder their views were never aligned and always contrasting with one another, they were polar opposites in many regards. They needed an intermediary member to help with this, and unfortunately the only two he could think of, Shu and Takeshi, were far from qualified to do such a thing. "To be perfectly curt I could give less of a damn what happens once you're with us. I won't bother keeping an eye on you, you're free to roam the ship far as I'm concerned. At any rate much as I might begrudge you for what you've done, it's not my place to pass judgement. That is reserved for the younger fighters who actually had to deal with you, not me." Though they may be too emotionally vested to make a proper ruling on how Krom should be dealt with, perhaps it was for his own good he just be left to his own devices. If nothing else good had come of today perhaps this show of power was an indication of what lay in store for Krom, should he try anything. "Child doesn't only imply age, there's a certain immaturity and lack of growth in some areas too, which most of them have. To no fault of their own, they just haven't experienced everything they should yet," Aito explained carefully, neglecting to add they'd experienced too much in other domains. "I created him to protect people, and to create him in a way which made him adept in any environment. But he was never intended to be solely a warrior, just as we as Saiyans are not just soldiers. We have lives, we have hopes and dreams, calling ourselves just a soldier isn't fair." What could she do to help? The emotional side proved to be too delicate for her without using a bit of her power, something she still had a very vague grasp of. Psychological? Forget it, she was not trained at all and worried she may do more harm than good, regardless of intent to help. Even the physical injury Viral now sported proved to be too much for her to help with and yet she couldn't just leave him alone. He was her friend, she'd never leave any friend alone, least of all him. "There are people like me who were being worked on, we want to save them. The others don't know about it yet but I'm sure they'll want to too, don't you?" They were best suited for the job, if the rebels did it they might do something unfair with the subjects, or even outright kill them if they were difficult. Hoping to ease the discomfort Viral was feeling Yumi leaned lightly into his side, promptly withdrawing however as it clearly caused him pain. Was his arm hurt that badly? So there was very obviously some anger towards Aito as expected, yet it wasn't fair to assume June couldn't do anything to help. Folding her ears down apologetically at Viral's seething she gave a silent nod at his question, rising to her feet and patiently waiting for him to do the same. "Of course... And if you don't think they can help... Maybe we should go to the ship? Or even the rebel headquarters, they'll have someone there to look at your arm for you," Yumi suggested, giving a small smile as she did, "It's probably just sprained or something, should be an easy fix." "I had my tail removed, but there's nothing wrong with having or not having one. It's just like how you style your hair, its a preference I suppose." Albeit a preference that involved the removal of a limb, for whatever that was worth by comparison. Despite his trying to reassure Shu it only appeared like he was becoming more discomforted, his tone and posture suggesting as much. Damn it all, he really needed how to speak plainly didn't he? Tch... Only issue there was while he knew perfectly well what he was saying it wasn't easy to put it in simple terms, he never spoke nor learned in simplistic ways. "You may not have to transform though, we'd only need to test to see how music effects your mood and then we can draw conjectures... That is... We can test music and if it helps you calm down normally, then by all accounts, it should help prevent you from transforming or even help calm you once changed. And all I'm saying Shu is that there are always differences, even among the same race or within the same family. Being different doesn't mean someone is lesser however, that's simply life. As for your challenges, they can be overcome with enough effort, and now that we have ideas as to help them it's only a matter of time." "Yeah buddy, you'll be feeling much better in no time now, just you wait," Takeshi chimed in with a grin, ruffling Shu's hair as he leaned over, "While brains here is busy plugging away you and I can keep having fun, you won't have to worry about a thing. Then they'll come to us with a plan and we can work on it together, okay?" Now that there was actually some sign they could make it work he was way more optimistic about things. And if all he had to do was keep Shu happy, be it playing games or acting silly, then he could do at least that much. "Besides, we've got all the time we need for this stuff now! Which means a hell of a lot more goofing off for us Shu."
