Viral would feel a lot better if he was able to relax a little more, but in truth he was struggling to do such a thing around this lake. He felt like he needed to flee from here, like some primal instinct was taking over his confidence. Yumi and Aito probably didn’t feel it, neither of them had any primal instinct when it came to environmental hazards. There was a real fear of poisoning even if he knew better than to drink it outright. It was as if he might accidentally forget and drink it, even if he knew better. It was hard to explain, but probably was the same as the fact that there was no animals around here who probably had the same thoughts and feelings as he does. Frowning, he looked to her momentarily before away again, shaking his head. “Even with your little additions I am still more animal than you. Water is one of my natural environments but I don’t want to be anywhere near here”.

It was certainly fairly unsettling and hard to concentrate on anything else other than the feeling of dread. He would feel a lot better if he wasn’t going to end up fighting so hopefully it would end with him not having to get into any sort of conflict by the time Aito finished. He shouldn’t be around this kind of place anyway, especially when he was part-shark. If it ended with him having to fight in the water he didn’t know how the toxic chemical or whatever it was that was in there would affect him. Looking back to Yumi when she asked if there was anything he was planning later he couldn’t help but feel confused, as if he had never been asked such a thing before. “Planned? What? I don’t make plans for later…” While he could feel confused all day there was definitely something that was distracting him from thinking about these so-called plans that Yumi was wondering if he had, like it had been here the entire time but was only just now making itself known. Looking around briefly he jumped slightly when Yumi called out to Aito, his eyes going to him immediately. The hell is that thing? Whatever it was he wasn’t going to waste time. Immediately he began to run towards him, looking to Yumi as he noticed her approach to the much needed haste. “Fly to him!”

The substance was determined not to let Aito go, keeping him in place as if the thought of killing him didn’t come to whatever it was. It was if there was an observation of strength going on first rather than trying to kill him immediately. It was obvious Aito was caught, but it wasn’t doing anything to destroy him other than hold him tight. As a strange hiss sounded out as if observing Aito the sound of Yumi’s yell caught its attention, causing it to shift slightly as if part of it was on the move. It only took a split second and without warning the sudden mass emerged from the ground without causing it to break up as it tried to attack Viral and Yumi, Viral managing to avoid it as he jumped back through instinct.
