Ignoring Viral now Takeshi stuck back with Shu, quite annoyed Viral had to be along with them. He was perfectly okay with fighting alongside the guy but this was pushing it, he wasn't working out at all. The Beastman thinking he was right and knew better was just way too bothersome to have to deal with, it's not like he'd never hunted before. Complaining to Shu it seemed like even the little guy was siding with their friend now over him to, a fact that made him scoff before shrugging his shoulders. "Well there's still going to be stuff around, even if we gotta walk a bit more for it now, you know? It's not like I spooked the whole damn planet doing that," Takeshi retorted, frowning as Shu emphasized being quiet. Alright he got it, banging on the tree to draw attention to themselves might now have been the best idea but it wasn't like sneaking around was doing them any good either. "Fine, we'll do it your way. We'll keep quiet and sneak around, as if that's done much. I just want something to fricken eat already, my stomach's eating itself..."

Another plateau rose up in the distance as they traveled away from camp, obscuring the sky and the moon behind it, making the forest at its base darker than that before it. As with most of the forest it was decidedly silent as well with no signs of life, save perhaps small creatures or bugs scurrying about -- If they were to find anything to feed the group it would have to be far more than that. Even finding a creature wasn't going to solve everything either as T'charrl needed some kind of plant, preferably a fruit he'd said, and Shu would doubtless prefer that as well. Easier said than done and this was scarcely the sort of place to be picky about one's meal but they would try to accommodate as best they could. They had yet to find anything however that could even be remotely considered a meal and with the moon rising higher as time passed the chances of doing so seemed to be slipping away more and more. They might go hungry tonight and yet other beings in the forests weren't so unfortunate, knowing where creatures hid and how to lure them out. One beast currently had three unusual beings in its sights, none of them familiar yet all likely edible, and that was all it cared about.

Takeshi growled as he stumbled from tripping on a small root, turning and giving it a kick before groaning audibly. "This is bullshit, where are all the animals? Seriously, we're in a fricken forest! Shouldn't there be animals everywhere?" he complained, looking around and narrowing his eyes as he tried to peer through the darkness. Shu was all out of sorts too and nervous as they trudged along and he swore he could feel his younger brother practically trembling at his side. He'd lit up some Ki at one point to act as a light source yet extinguished it when Viral complained it would alert the animals; walking side by side was the best Shu would have to settle for, not much more that could be done. "There's got to be something we're not doing right, I mean there's no way this place is empty..." Takeshi grumbled, giving his head a rub, "Any ideas Viral? Nothing's working."
