"Viral... You don't lack control... Really. You're in control now, aren't you? Despite your worries it's you that's here, not your other form. Doesn't that mean you're in control of it?" Takeshi didn't know how to make the Beastman see things his way, he didn't know what else could be said. No one except for Viral thought of himself this way, yet no matter what was said none of them could change his mind. Perhaps everyone had to get together and try to reassure him? It could well be that one on one just wasn't working, maybe he had to hear it from all of them. Or it could be that nothing they were saying had any effect whatsoever. Everyone who had tried so far hadn't gotten anywhere productive, and it didn't seem like Takeshi was going to have much more luck either. If none of his friends could be of any use then who would? "I don't know why you're asking me about purpose, honestly. I'm not trying to be rude about it, but that's not something we can tell you. Finding your purpose is something you have to do for yourself. We can only help so much really." Takeshi said, smiling apologetically. "And I'm not lying, honestly. I... Can't believe I'm saying it, but I do envy you." Taking pause he looked away for a second, and his cheeks flushed a soft pink. "All the way back to when we met. I couldn't beat you when we first fought, then fight after fight you seemed to do so much better than I had. You were more of an opponent to the Saiyans than I was, and before that, when we fought the Red Ribbon Army together, you were the one standing up to them. And I just know that once you get better you'll be right at the front of things again. I miss fighting alongside you, and so do the others. You're one hell of an ally to have during a battle and we all want that back." Putting his pride aside for the time being to say all that made Takeshi feel rather silly. Not because of how he envied Viral, that wasn't the issue. Realizing how idiotic he had been before, thinking he had to beat his friend in terms of strength and be better. He'd been so obsessed with power and had treated the guy like just some obstacle, always trying to outdo him. Now that he could look back on it all he felt absolutely terrible, it was a selfish and arrogant thing to do. "Look... I've never had a ton of people around me growing up, never like this... So I might not say it a lot, but I really appreciate having you all around me, and I don't want to go back to being alone." Takeshi sniffled softly, drawing his knees to his chest once again and hugging them tightly. Talking about things like this was... Different, but it felt relieving at the same time. He'd certainly never have thought it'd be with Viral either. "Before I met Shu there was no one else around to talk to. I left my master and had lived on my own for a long while, and I was so lonely. When I first met my brother I was a jerk to him to, but he didn't turn me away. Neither did Yumi, or Vegeta. And I owe them so much for that. And... That just leaves you. And I know I messed up with you. I was a jerk, I was rude and I even forgot about you. I'm sorry, okay? I'm so sorry for all of that... But I don't want to lose you either. You're... I don't know... Like a big brother, or something. I don't know how a family works, but I'd be very glad if I could count you as part of it. And to do that we've got to get you better." Garesh didn't know how Yusef discovered his son's abilities. In fact he was fair certain none of them did, which raised a great many questions. Now was not the time to address those however, there was already plenty going on as it was. Thanks to Garesh's own questions a new issue was brought up, namely how T'charrl would learn to cope with his ability. There was most certainly not anything on Kaesstra to help him, no one they knew of shared in his power. There were others however to might be of assistance, others in the form of the Prince's friends. They had unique abilities that could well be like his, and who better then to train him in its use? Proposing that idea he wasn't at all surprised when Shu bought into the idea more than eagerly. One vote wasn't going to completely sway things however, they'd need a group consensus to let T'charrl join. "I don't see why not, we're already bringing in more people. What's one more?" Yumi smiled across to T'charrl, folding her hands on the table. "I think it's a really good idea. You'd definitely be safe with us, and we'd be more than happy to bring our friend along! You can be the first one to travel in space too, isn't that something?" "I'm all for it. It's a fair bet to say he won't be safe here for long, not when so many people have seen him." Vegeta spoke, folding his arms with a small smile. "He'll have to expect to pull his own weight from time to time, everyone does their part. But if everyone else is okay with it then I've got no complaints." "I say he's coming too!" Kabocha declared, grinning as he gave T'charrl a thumbs up. "The more the merrier, or something like that. And we can always use someone who can heal in bad situations, it'd definitely be handy. Then we can gloat we've got something the king doesn't!"
