Viral didn’t want anything like payment, he didn’t even care for the food himself. So long as everybody else could get fed he was fine with everything else. To know that everyone was out there waiting for him to find food made him angry with himself for not being able to provide. He was a hunter, he was supposed to be able to find an animal and bring it back for food but none of that happened. He should had brought a scouter or something, just so he could tell them it was a lost cause and that they shouldn’t expect something to be brought back, but rather come to them because they happened to find locals who were willing to part with some of their food in exchange for killing the monsters. Sighing lightly as he tried to relax he frowned at the notion of payment, not understanding how it would help them but sure enough Takeshi quickly. It wouldn’t work for either party anyway, they had no use for payment.

Staring at Takeshi he sighed in annoyance at his rather disrespectful body language, definitely seeing that as the most idiotic response he could make. This was hardly the time to show how cowardly you were to outward appearances, especially when these people didn’t deserve any of it. Growling lowly as he gave him a glaring at he soon sighed, trying to relax so that he wouldn’t tense up and make things worse for himself. Staring at Takeshi as he made his leave he soon looked away, instead watching as Shu came over to sit before his eyes went to the Chieftain. “About these…’Dark Ones’. How long have they existed around here? Have they be doing anything strange other than be a general threat to your people? We need to get rid of them as soon as possible…before they can complete whatever they’re trying to do…” It was quite a pain to try and talk, but he had to get as much information as possible just in case the creatures had moved on since they were last seen. He could try and track them from there if possible, at least to make up for his inability to find wildlife to feed them before it got so late. “If you’re so certain about paying us too…just…all we may need is medical attention after. We don’t know how strong they will be, but we can’t take risks like transporting the injured without proper treatment…”
