Viral was finding it harder and harder to keep Vegeta in the dark, especially with the inevitable question. He found it difficult to lie, it was something only cowards did but when it came to the circumstances he had worked hard for so long to control himself and not falling sick. It was the worst part of talking to someone when he had problems, he had become used to hiding it all away and keeping quiet until it finally exploded into fits of rage or pain. He had been hungover plenty times before, he was trying to treat it in the same fashion without feeling like he could gag, but with the way Vegeta was trying to treat it as something more serious than that it was becoming harder to dismiss it. Side glancing at Vegeta at the mention of the therapy possibly being pointless after all he looked away hastily, trying not to think of it like that. Forcing himself to eat food was feeling more appealing than this interrogation. Disliking how Vegeta was now getting invested in this rather than going to make food he tensed up slightly, still trying to ignore him.

Vegeta was really going in with his concerns and really trying to push himself into his problems, but this time there was something a little different about it. He was sounding less like a doctor the more he went on despite how aggressive he had been with his pressing on the matter. Feeling like it was being taken way too seriously Viral shut his eyes as well, his other hand tapping a claw on the edge of the table. He was finding it hard understanding what brought this on with Vegeta, how he was acting more like he was upset rather than annoyed that he was keeping quiet about his problems. In the brief moment of silence he slightly lowered his head, turning away a little when Vegeta started talking again. The more Vegeta spoke the harder he found it to ignore him, the way he was trying to sound like someone who cared more than someone who was concerned about research and treatment; it was really starting to get to him. 

Tapping his claw slightly faster on the table he started to groan, his shoulders tensing up before he finally turned to face Vegeta. “Concerned or persistent…call it what you will, you have the knack of making it hard for me to keep matters to myself…” he growled lowly before he sighed, resting his head in his paw as he looked away, “I…changed unwillingly…in fact, I had no will to call my own at all at the time. That scientist, the one in charge of the project…he poisoned me with something that broke my mind and destroyed my free will and all independent thought. I was worse than what I had been when I had the collar…like those were simply a beta test…” Pausing for a moment he lightly growled, his fingers becoming slightly tense. “I tried to kill them on his order. Takeshi, Shu, Yumi…and all I could do was watch as I tried. I was half-hoping they would just kill me at that point, I left myself completely open too, but it wasn’t until Shu attacked that my body started to realise that I was going to die if I kept going. I changed not even by the will of the scientist at that point, but…I guess that’s what stopped me too. If Yumi was just a few inches closer, I probably would had eaten her before I came to again…”

Shu wasn’t going to slack with this little play-fight session and he wasn’t going to let Takeshi do so either, chasing after him as he tried to avoid the fight aspect. He was pretty seasoned in play-fighting while Takeshi was not, giving him the advantage in knowing how to cut him off each time and initiate wrestling with him. Going down on all fours he very quickly dashed and pounced straight for Takeshi, managing to drive him to the floor as he quickly tried to wrestle again. Grabbing at Takeshi to try and keep him down this time he pulled at his clothing, trying to stop him from throwing him away but eventually he lost his grip when he was thrown over again and Takeshi tried to flee again. Turning over quickly he giggled, crawling after Takeshi at a fast pace to catch up to him. “No running! You fight me! No running forever!” He squeaked before making another leap for Takeshi’s legs hoping to grab hold.
