The creature didn’t know of such a thing, all it was aware of was the need to survive and carry on living. Maybe it really was too juvenile to understand such desires like seeing death as the ultimate release. It wasn’t like the other creatures that these people most likely were talking about when they questioned its awareness and ability to speak, those creatures were supposed to be wild and soulless anyway. [i]”Hmm, survival…but to think like that would be to be aware of there being more to life than fulfilling a purpose. It must be great, having the opportunity…”[/i] When Aito decided it was best to go and see where the others were it hissed lowly, knowing this meant it was no longer going to have to be squashed between the ground and this guy’s backside. Once he finally moved the creature moved its claws underneath itself, feeling the relief before looking to Aito when he threatened it in quite a lazy way. [i]”’Evil’ is not something I am! Just because I fought as your enemy I was not the one being mocked and threatened with death at the same time…”[/i] It hissed in annoyance, slowly sitting up itself. [i]”I am not a coward either. I won’t be running away if that’s what you’re concerned about…”[/i]

Viral felt a little more content after eating, but he felt pretty terrible too. He was confused and felt like he was stumbling around pointlessly, like he didn’t belong here. He was far superior compared to the creatures in the water and had proven that in the time he was in there. Feeling lazy and unable to satisfy himself with no battles left to fight he decided to walk onwards, not feeling entirely up to picking a fight with Yumi. She had given him food and he gave her a little bit as a thank you, so now it was time to move on. Groaning in response to Yumi talking to him he simply carried on, giving her a quick glance when she decided to follow along beside him. He didn’t understand why she was walking along with him, she had fulfilled her purpose and probably had better things to do. Continuing on his way he soon stopped when Aito approached them, staring at him as if contemplating what he was supposed to do with him. He was feeling pretty lazy, but not lazy enough to fall asleep. Staring at him for a moment he lowly hissed, getting fed up with him right up to the point where he was growing annoyed with Aito, his low hissing soon turning into angry snarls. Raising his tail as he leaned forward, his arms remaining lowered as he focused on Aito. He definitely didn’t like him and had half a mind to tear him apart just for being in his way.
