If it means nothing to you, Takeshi thought, then why was Viral always so upset over it? The guy always seemed so dreadfully lonely, and the solution to that, he had found, was to surround himself with family. In a way, he saw himself in the Beastman. By that they were both worse off when they had no one around them. He had very much been the same way before he met Shu, and never would have listened to a word that anyone said to the contrary. How things had changed though once he finally welcomed someone else into his life... Things had been rocky at first, sure, but over time he'd become better for it, that he was realizing now. All Viral had to do was take the same step in the right direction and recognize what he had around him. Maybe that wouldn't make him completely better, but Takeshi liked to think that perhaps it'd at least give himself something more to think about than his problems. 

"You tell us to hope for more... And we do... We hope for you to be happy. That's all we want, and we're sorry if it comes across as trying to force things. We just want to help..." Takeshi shook his head again, sighing as he rubbed at his head, looking back at Viral sadly. "My life became a million times better when Shu came into it... He made me a lot happier. Everyone else has to, and that includes you. Just... Give it a little thought, if nothing else? You'd be amazed how much different your life can be if you let people into it." 

Takeshi would leave the plate there, just in the off chance that Viral did choose to eat. Sending one last sad smile his friend's way the Saiyan went back to the house to relax. Since he'd already eaten a meal himself there wasn't much reason to go back to the kitchen. A conversation was being held in the room, and by the sounds of it there wasn't any particular need for him to be involved. Besides, they sounded happy, and he didn't want to bring anyone down by sharing how Viral was still struggling. Instead he opted to go to his and Shu's room, shutting the door silently behind him. So they'd be out of here pretty soon then, now that the General was captured. From here he wasn't too sure where they'd be heading next. Earth was still a long ways off, and they weren't exactly going to see the rebels any time soon. Chances were they'd be going to whatever world was next, wherever that might be. Somehow he doubted it was going to be quite as... Fun as this one had been. Then again maybe that was a good thing, they might actually get some time off for a change.

"And we'll help you do it T'charrl," Yumi said, smiling cheerfully across the table. "If you're going to be part of our group then you'll probably train with us. We'll figure out how your powers work and you'll be able to use them in no time! You'll be confident in your powers and you can fight with us even, if you want."

"Strength isn't everything, of course." Vegeta had to put his two cents in, giving Yumi a bit of an admonishing look before smiling at T'charrl. "Being able to fight is fine and all, but there's a lot more that you'll be able to do with your power. Healing is definitely a big one, you could do a lot of good with that. And, when you master it, you'll be able to confidently come back and lead your people. You'll grow in more than one way traveling around, trust us."

"Yeah, but he'll also be able to kick the butts of any jerks we come across!" Yumi exclaimed, grinning as she clenched her hands into fists. "It'll be great!"

Whatever T'charrl ended up doing with his abilities would ultimately be his decision and his alone. None of them would force him to become some kind of tool, or work for some power that he didn't believe in. Hell, the reason they were traveling as they were was precisely to oppose those kinds of things. They were a group, sure, but were here for their own reasons. Yumi smiled cheerfully at that, taking a glance around at everyone with her. With the exception of Katas and Garesh these people were going to be traveling with them, and they were going to become closer and closer as a team as a result. While the Saiyans were still going to take a little getting used to she even figured they'd warm up to her soon enough. And, given time, T'charrl would be considered as one of them, if he wasn't already. 

Everyone finished eating not too long afterwards, and thankfully they had polished off nearly all of the food. That meant that cleaning was going to be a relatively quick job, and not nearly as many people would be needed as there had been with preparing it. On that note Yumi opted to clean up on her own, perfectly content with doing so while the others saw to their own matters. Chances were the General was going to be questioned now, which would take the boys away, as well as T'charrl, Katas and Garesh. Vegeta was opting to speak with Viral a little more, and see if there might be anything that could be done for him, like bringing him inside finally. That left the squad to essentially linger wherever they pleased, having earned their stay for helping bring the General down. Kabocha had opted to go to the family room, laying himself down on the couch in favor of taking a little nap. Yumi wasn't sure what the twins were going to do, she was already busy at washing away the grime on the dishes they had used. Really she wasn't sure why they should care about cleaning up, they'd be out of here soon enough. It just seemed like the polite thing to do, she supposed.
