Viral just really didn’t want to eat right now and was now wishing he was left alone if only to be relieved from the smell of the food. He didn’t know if his stomach could handle it; it had been damaged and the recent past experiences had him tasting blood every time he looked at food. He was just too weak to handle food; he was too weak to do anything. Covering his face as if in shame of having eyes set upon him right now, he grumbled at Takeshi, “If I die in battle, then that’s it. Did you just compare me to a plant…” he muttered, looking up a little, “I can’t do it, just…eat the food yourself…”

He was such a coward, such a disgrace when he couldn’t even handle something as simple as food. Everything about food made him feel ill, the trauma of his previous experience had just drilled a hole in his mind and it couldn’t be repaired. Some warrior he had turned out to be, defeated by the simple basics of life that all living organisms needed. Feeling completely ashamed of himself, he only gave Takeshi a quick look before hiding his face again. He didn’t know how to feel about Takeshi training with him, all he’d do is fail and end up looking like a complete idiot just like before. Nothing was looking up for him, lying on the ground like this was his official low point and it didn’t help that he was feeling the chill in the air when there shouldn’t had been any.

Hearing Takeshi shift around something he uncovered his face and looked to see what he was doing, seeing him shift around a strange fruit. Letting out a groan Viral slowly shifted himself, trying to move away from the offer of fruit, “What…? Don’t you understand ‘no’…” He was on the verge of forcing it down with an offer of training to go along with the fruit, it wasn’t even worth it all that much considering how he felt about the stuff. Looking up at the fruit, Viral narrowed his gaze as it was simply being seen as a challenge now, even if it would most likely defeat him if he ever tried.

Slowly pushing himself up, he gave Takeshi a glaring at before looking down at the fruit. He didn’t exactly eat fruit when he could eat, he didn’t even feel sure whether he could stomach to look at meat either right now. He didn’t want to be defeated by this, he couldn’t be defeated by this and yet it was slowly getting to that point where even the most pathetic thing would take him down. Shakily reaching out for the fruit, he took hold of it for a second before dropping it again, pulling his hand away and wiping down his hand, “Ugh, damnit…I can’t! You go eat it yourself! Just leave me alone here like everyone else!”

Shu held his head, giving a little smile to Yumi when he was told off. He was fairly alright with trying to keep calm and not move around so much, especially when it made him dizzy and sore like that. Looking to Kabocha he smiled a little, tilting his head a little before sighing, “Uhhh…I guess sort of? Not all the time, just especially since we found each other again”, he nodded, rubbing his chest a little, “I don’t know why it’s important, though. It’s a bit weird to care about something like that…”

Looking to Yumi, he gave his head a brief scratch before reaching for a bit of food, giving T’charrl a quick look too. The guy was still wolfing down food; poor guy must had been desperate for it but it did make Shu wonder where it was all going. Tilting his head a little he gave a smile, eating the food as he watched Yumi talk to Kabocha just curious to what she was saying about Takeshi. He didn’t understand it, he didn’t really notice this kind of stuff so it was a little odd to say the least, “Huh? I didn’t notice anything, I mean…do I need to? He’s the first person I ever made friends with since I went into your world so I don’t see anything wrong with it…I mean, apart from him going to see Mister Viral…”
