"Go on and try it Shu! You're going to like it, trust me!" Sasha urged as she bit into her own fruit, wiping away juice from her chin with the back of her hand. Stifling a laugh when Shu's face lit up after sampling his snack she took another bite, lifting her shoulders in a shrug to his question. "I don't know, I suppose they just mix things together and see how they taste! I've never really cooked before so I haven't a clue how people figure it out." It was something to ponder though, just how did people figure out what you could and couldn't eat? No doubt someone had eaten some fairly bad things along the line and gotten sick or worse and she was grateful it wasn't her playing test dummy. "Come on, let's get back and see how the match is going! We don't want to miss all the excitement do we?" The distant cheers of the crowd spurred Sasha back to the arena just in time to see the announcer declaring one of the fighters the victor, the other being helped off stage by a medic. So they'd missed the end of the fight in favor of getting their snacks, oh well. Smiling as the stage was tidied up for the next match she glanced at Shu and playfully nudged his arm with her elbow, winking as she took another bite of her treat. "If they're still open after the tournament how about we get another? I don't think I'm happy with just one."

"Well then ladies and gentlemen that brings us to our second to last match of the first round! I hope you've all enjoyed yourselves so far because things will only get even better from here on out!" Basking in the cheers of the audience the announcer played it up, beaming as he waved everyone on before ushering them to quiet down. "For our next match will Takeshi and Jura please enter the arena? I repeat, will Takeshi and Jura please enter the ring?" 

Finally, he had a chance to kick some ass! Standing around watching everyone else was so boring after a while, even more interesting fights like Shu's. Beaming as he raced to the stage he nearly jumped the entire length of the stairs and walked to the center, folding his hands behind his head as he looked at his opponent. Naturally he was feeling smug, they were much more well trained and probably leagues stronger than any of the competitors here. Stretching himself out as the other competitor entered the arena he grinned broadly at them. He'd refrain from using Ki just to make it a fair fight and he'd go easy on the guy, it wouldn't be much fun if it was over in a second. Waiting for the announcer to begin the match he squat down and stretched himself out further, jumping to his feet and bouncing on the ball of them. "Let's try and make this look convincing alright?" Takeshi asked with a wink, grinning as he rolled his shoulders, "I'll take it easy on ya."

"I don't want you to die! No dying Viral, you're not allowed to!" Yumi chastised, vaguely slurring her words as she pointed sternly at the Beastman, "You're not allowed to die, got it? Not ever, never ever. I'm not going to let you!" He was too strong to die, and moreover much too important to her to die. She didn't know what she would ever do if Viral were to be killed. Rolling onto her front awkwardly she tucked her injured arm to the side and exhaled into her pillow, squirming a bit to get comfortable before turning her head. "You saved everyone and the planet, that's what you say! I mean they were bad guys, like... REALLY bad guys, you did the right thing. Vegeta and Aito are idiots if they think you were wrong," she answered as she huffed, rolling back onto her side and smiling at Viral, "We'd be dead if you didn't save us. Who cares what anyone else thinks? Anyone who was here is going to say you're a hero and thats what you are. I'll kick anyone who tries to tell you otherwise. I don't care if its Korian, or Aito, or Vegeta, I'll kick them all and make them apologize!" 

"They were going to kill us... They were going to kill me, you're the only reason they didn't," Yumi said somberly, closing her eyes and exhaling before rubbing at her face, "The whole no killing thing is dumb anyways... I don't like to do it and I don't think I could, but you have to sometimes..." Frowning as she looked across at Viral she felt her eyelids growing heavy as she tried to fight off the sedatives given to her, grumbling and rubbing at her face again. "Seriously... Thank you Viral, so much. I thought I was dead until you saved me. I don't know how I'll ever thank you..."
