Speaking with people was always so difficult! It only knew a few words and it wasn't even sure if it was using them correctly or not but it had to try communicating. This one wanted to help, it could tell, now it just had to show him how. Leading T'charrl to a nearby barren patch it smiled when followed, yipping before nudging the dirt at its feet. "Heal! Heal!" it told him eagerly, patting the soil with its paws before jumping, "Seeds! Life! Heal!" Despite it trying to be as clear as possible there was still confusion the spirit noticed, tilting its head to the side before walking a bit closer to T'charrl again and nudging his leg with its head. "Happy? Happy thought! Happy thought heal!" That was how it healed things, it thought of good things and its energy did the rest. Did this one work the same? They had to try, maybe he would be happier if he was able to help. Haku watched on silently and confused, not sure who T'charrl had spoken to just then. It seemed like he and the spirit were somehow talking with one another and he hoped that meant his friend would relax a little as a result. Surely by now he could see the creature was harmless and only trying to help, no bad things made flowers and grass grow like that. Of course he could be completely wrong too, here he was sitting in utter silence with nothing but the occasional breeze ruffling some debris, waiting for something to happen. Unsure of what to do with himself now he decided to get up from where he sat and go to a nearby pile of rubble to clean it up, or try to anyways. He couldn't make plants grow or anything of the sort but he could do simple labor, he'd help out where he could. ----- "I am so very happy you've passed! I was so worried!" Leto shouted despite their proximity as he held his embrace fervently. It was only when he noticed Kiton's tail pulling at his arm did he release the Frost Demon, an apologetic yet ecstatic grin plastered on the man's face. "Forgive me, young sir! You seemed so distraught I couldn't just sit back any longer! You shouldn't be sad, you should rejoice! You've done the most manly thing a soldier can do and spare his enemy, even after supposedly losing your comrades! That takes true strength!" he continued, breaking into a series of exaggerated poses to flex his physique, "And believe me, I know a thing or two about strength!" Right, shame he didn't know a thing or two about keeping quiet. Sasha's mouth twitched in mild irritation watching Leto but she kept a clamp on it, sighing when he finished before smiling at Kiton again. "We couldn't tell you, otherwise you would have acted differently. We didn't lie when we said Korian has some people fight their former allies, because that's what you thought we were doing. And for all purposes they were pirates, as long as you believed that then the exercise would work. We're sorry we lied to you about all of this." They were done though, there was no reason to keep going with the test at this point when Kiton had managed to pass. Reaching out Sasha tried to grab hold of Kiton's arm, hoping to guide him down to the ground so he could rest and be seen to by medics. "Not the smoothest of tests, but he passed," Ricken mused aloud as he watched Leto and his sister above deal with Kiton. Down with him medics were checking over the rebels unfortunate enough to pull guard duty, their role requiring them to be genuinely knocked out. He'd had that job before and it was never fun, knowing you were just standing around waiting to take a very painful nap. He and Sasha had already apologized to their comrades much to their amusement and now everyone was helping to wind down from the exercise. "He did a number on you, and all he did was smack you around a bit. So much for your big talk," Ricken pointed out as he glanced at York who was sat on a crate, medics currently patching him up. York scoffed before smiling slightly amused, looking in Kiton's direction thoughtfully. "He's very powerful, but he seems like he's a bit too driven by his emotion. It's good that he felt upset by your deaths, shows he's got heart, but he tore the place apart over it. I think with some help he'll make a fine soldier," he answered before nodding appreciatively as the medics bound his last wound. Standing up to his full height again he gave his sore jaw a rubbing, rolling his neck again and groaning as there was an audible pop. "Oomph... I'm going to be feeling this for weeks... Next time have someone else play the villain..." ----- "There's no rush then. We'll do it when you feel ready," Aito added in as he fetched Viral's change of clothing. Once they had him changed and dressed he took his son outdoors once more, opting for a chair to keep him in the sunlight. The chair itself was lightly padded and should prove some comfort to Viral's fatigued form and hopefully the sunlight would do him some good as well. "That defeats the entire purpose of trying to help you, letting you play whack-a-mole with yourself," Aito pointed out with a slight chuckle, "Water is more reasonable, and if you'd like something hot then I could brew some tea. I believe they've provided a few different types for us, let me go see what we have." Clasping Viral's shoulder gently he glanced back towards the house as the door opened up, smiling seeing Yumi standing there. "I believe I'm being relieved, I'll go make your tea all the same and be out with it shortly." Yumi smiled patiently as she waited for Aito to walk back inside and leave them be, watching the door close behind her. Letting out a sigh she cut across the yard and stopped just beside Viral's chair, lowering herself to one knee and looking up at her friend hopefully. "Well you're dry and dressed now, you're already looking better," she teased as she reached up and placed the back of her hand on Viral's forehead, wondering if he might be ill from being wet for so long. Surprisingly not, albeit this wasn't exactly the best way to test for a cold. Lowering her hand she placed it on one of his paws instead, "I'm not supposed to tell you this, but the thing you fought? It's being contained back at the rebels headquarters, in some kind of high tech cell. I'm not saying that we should go there at some point and you can question it, or whatever you want to do... But just saying that's where it is," Yumi said with a shrug, looking down at the grass for a moment before back at Viral, "Anything I can do to help you? Whatever you need."
