T’charrl smiled at Yumi as she laughed, feeling a little prouder that he didn’t confuse instead. It was nice to be able to make somebody more comfortable rather than make them wonder why they were even hanging around you in the first place. Hearing her explanation he gave a little nod, looking to his arms momentarily before smiling back at her. “You really think that’s possible? Your arms are very short and your species is missing a pair of them. I would need to put my arms behind my back or something. You’ve also got funny knees. How do you feel when you land after flying? Does it hurt your knees?” He was probably getting in too deep with these questions but they were all curious ones he didn’t know yet, even after looking through the books he had been given. Things like that weren’t usually covered in those books, probably because the people who wrote them were just like the others.

While he couldn’t really contemplate on that too long he did turn his attention to Haku briefly, staring at him when he displayed some confidence to meet his parents. Probably once he met them he would quickly retreat, but of course it wasn’t as if he wouldn’t see something like that coming either. His parents were larger than him and definitely very intimidating, probably too much to handle for Haku upon first sight. “They don’t really like outsiders much anyway, but so long as they’re my friend they’ll like. I didn’t have friends when I was growing up so they are naturally going to be concerned when I bring over new people. Maybe they just want to protect my feelings”. In his species’ aging cycle he was still barely an adult, closer to a child. He wasn’t fully grown in the slightest, he was still small and skinny with underdeveloped abilities. “My parents are, uhh…very intimidating, even to me. Meeting them would be a good thing, but my mother hits hard”.

Viral wasn’t buying Takeshi’s apology at all, all it did was sound like an excuse for his cowardice rather than trying to apologise for nearly sitting around waiting for him to get killed. He was all upset that his pride had been hurt and was apologising to try and make himself feel better for his guilt. If he did feel concern for his health he would’ve addressed it before heading back to get the others and not waiting this long. Telling him like it is he glared at him when he tried to argue his point back at him. “You make it sound as if I should be indebted to you and not annoyed that your fear nearly had me killed because you had helped me before”, he spoke, looking away again. Just like Takeshi to start getting all annoyed that he wasn’t getting his way again, how everything wasn’t quite working out like he thought it might to relieve the guilt of getting him injured. “The big deal is I won’t be fine. I’m still going to be feeling this tomorrow and you’re probably going to treat your brother like he’s a cowardly fighter again. Of course Shu is fine! He’s not afraid to fight nor is he weak! Maybe next time if another one of those things pop up you’ll learn a thing or two from your brother…”
