"I mean I don't know them that well e-either, so... I don't know why you took me," Haku admitted with a shrug, smiling slightly as he cast his glance along the grounds ahead, "I kind of know what they look like, I've seen pictures. I've just... Not really seen anything other than that big, freaky one back on Namek." Which if he understood right that was the sort of beast Viral and the others would be facing off against, or perhaps something even worse still. Couldn't say he was envious of their job, keeping monsters from spreading on their end was easy by comparison. "Well maybe we can go around the desert? Or... I don't know, go at night?" Haku suggested hopefully, "Things get colder at night, right? So maybe... It won't be as bad?" That did somewhat complicate things though, namely the fact they wouldn't be able to see their own hands in front of their faces most likely. There had to be a way around it, one which wouldn't be too hard for T'charrl, or anyone else.

"Alright buddy, alright, I'll believe you. You'll have to show me when we fight these things, whenever that happens." Takeshi couldn't say he had totally bought it, he'd never seen Shu fight and not be in a panic doing it. Perhaps save for the times the little guy was on his back just blasting at things yet that was almost a game in comparison, not a real battle. The last fight they had were against soldiers that might be able to kill them, sure, if they were asleep. Deciding to try and level with his brother a bit the older boy took off his boots to show he was willing to, promptly stepping in a mud puddle and wrinkling his face in disgust as he did so. Gods it felt so gross having the mud slide between his toes, he dragged his foot along the ground and wiped it against grass to try and clean it. "Fair enough, different people like different things, you know? But see, I'm going with no shoes now!" Takeshi pointed out, holding his boots out for show before frowning as he stepped on something else. "How do you deal with stepping on all this stuff? I don't even wanna look at what I just squished..."

The last thing Yumi wanted was getting everyone nervous and uneasy about this yet she couldn't help it. They didn't know much about the rifts and not knowing gave her room to wonder, room to worry. The optimist in her said it was going to work out just fine, they would kill the monsters and seal the rift without any issue. The realist was being a little more pessimistic however, acknowledging just about every potential mishap; being stuck on the other side of the rift happened to be the most worrisome of mishaps. "I know you will, I have faith in you Viral. I just wish I didn't have to worry about stupid things like this," Yumi said with a sigh, her ears folding before she shook her head and gave her own cheeks a smack. "Even if the worst happens, if we do get stuck, there has to be a way back. They can open a door here so... So there's a way to get back, there has to be. And I know we'll find it." That was if that happened, the absolute worst case scenario. She just hoped things on the other side weren't too bad.
