“Well your planet has more civil wars than it does wars against other planets so of course your planet would wait so long before going into service! Saiyan Elites like me don’t have a choice but to go into military service! The life of an Earthling certainly has limited worries…no wonder you all are so naïve about these things”. Krom didn’t know if he was jealous over the freedoms these people had because he had never experienced freedom to become jealous over it. He was proud to be a strong soldier and that was all he needed. Takeshi may had gotten a taste of what it was like being a soldier, but he was still immature and never someone Krom would look up to despite being a Prince. That would be the same as looking up to Shu because he was a Prince.

Hearing Aito offering him the freedom to roam the ship as he pleased he couldn’t help but feel confused, his first concern being how he could possibly trust him despite being an enemy of the side he was helping. “Your lack of care towards what I would be doing is most concerning…” He could take their smaller ship and escape, he could sabotage the ship too and yet Aito didn’t care. Maybe he just didn’t care about him as a whole and was expressing it that way, but it was certainly strange for him to have faith that he wouldn’t do anything to hurt them. It didn’t matter if Aito was strong, he couldn’t do anything if he was on the other side of the ship. “There’s very little immaturity regarding him. You should’ve seen him in the field. He proved to be a natural, that’s for sure”, he chuckled, shaking his head with a sigh. Listening to Aito’s reason for creating Viral he raised an eyebrow, looking away momentarily. “Except Saiyans have to be contained and controlled unless they get their tails removed and be monitored. You have to contain and control Viral too…or at least your son was because you were dead, right? He kills to protect and he’s already shown he’s a natural born killer many times. Hmph. Hopes and dreams is just a childish thing to have when it’s known you are a monster or come from a race of monsters”.

Viral would be fine if he was just left alone for once, but nobody would want that just in case he did something or deserted them all completely. He was a complete head case to them all and leaving him alone was practically asking for something bad to happen. He couldn’t blame them for thinking that way, they were all well aware of how unstable he was. He wasn’t even going to blame the fact that he was injured for the attention he was receiving either, just that it was all for precautions nowadays. Finding that it was just a little too much for her to be leaning against him or touching him at all he had to make a complaint which thankfully she received and decided to move. Sighing lightly he made a side glance to her. “…I think the real question is are you angry that they did that to you? Is it that much of a negative that you don’t want others to go through it too?” He had always wanted to question her properly on the subject, but never did he find the right time to ask her. Frowning as she stood up he took a moment before pressing himself against the tree, slowly sliding himself up awkwardly in an effort to stand without using his arms. Staring at her as she made alternative suggestions for places to go he groaned lightly, looking away. “It’ll be much more awkward if I went anywhere else, plus she’d just cause a fuss if I was gone for too long”, he spoke, looking down to his arm, “It’s not sprained. Aito shattered my energy when he broke my shield. It’s been too long since I used my energy that I didn’t suspect it would be so…weak…”

Shu frowned deeply for a moment before looking down, only being reminded that he pulled off Takeshi’s tail. He didn’t really like being reminded of that and only thought Takeshi might’ve still disliked how he had it removed without him wanting it removed in the first place. Feeling a little worried that everything wasn’t quite going well between him and Vegeta he kept his head down, trying to not show disrespect to him when he was only wanting to help. Listening to him explain how it would be beneficial and why music was a good idea he looked up, staring at him as he thought about how it might work. There was every possibility that it would work, but he wouldn’t know until it was tested. He was always going to be scared of changing because of the amount of stress it put him under, not to mention the thought that he might hurt someone like every other time he changed. Looking to Takeshi when he spoke he raised his shoulders when his hair was ruffled, giving him a little smile when he reassured him everything was going to be alright. “Still have fun? I would like that very much”, he spoke, slowly looking away as he pressed his index fingers together, “I do like having fun and goofing! Maybe fight together too. Don’t want to get weak just because I’m scared of bad things happening. I want to be able to help everyone too”.
