"No, I don't think you're the same because you're not a weapon," Takeshi retorted, frowning and getting defensive now. It had been an earnest and polite question, why did Viral have to get all angry about it? Even just trying to have civil conversation with the guy wasn't doing him any good, there just wasn't any making him happy. Slightly annoyed at the comment about lack of respect the Saiyan turned his head away, biting back a sharp comment as he folded his arms angrily. Fine, maybe he wouldn't go to the Beastman for help then, since Viral clearly didn't want to train him. After all, how could Takeshi show his sword proper respect when he had no clue how to use it? Bah, to hell with it. Sooner or later they were bound to come across somebody who could instruct him, or worst case scenario he would teach himself. Figuring an argument would only ensue if he pushed the subject the older boy went to the doorway, leaning against it while keeping his gaze elsewhere. Bothered a fair bit, but he kept his mouth shut. The last thing he wanted was to make Viral angry, and in having done so already now it was best to just avoid talking for the time being. 

The comparison that Viral was drawing flew right over Vegeta's head. Whoever the Beastman was referring to clearly he was not a fan of them, that much he gathered. Sighing softly to himself then Vegeta lifted a hand, running it through his hair before looking back at his friend. "Yeah, the rest of us can't track them like you can, so we need your help. Thank you for agreeing to come with us." Why did he have to make it sound like he'd no choice in the matter. Viral really needed to get over this idea of subordination that he apparently held towards Vegeta, because the Saiyan didn't like it one bit. They were friends, not this master and servant exchange they seemed to have

Yumi and Takeshi each answered Viral's questions as best they could, the latter doing so before sulking off. It seemed a sound plan to everyone else involved, it gave Viral a chance to fight again and be more active, hopefully making him happier in the process. Thankfully Takeshi didn't take to the Beastman's comment about swords, as both Yumi and Vegeta expected an argument to break out. Their friend's request for privacy to change would be readily met.

"We'll just be right outside when you're ready Viral," Yumi spoke, smiling softly before turning and leaving the room. Ushering Choi out along with herself she was followed by Vegeta, then Takeshi and Kabocha. Once everyone had gathered out in the hall they closed the door to let Viral do as he needed, leaning up against the wall or standing about idly to wait. Finally, Takeshi decided to voice some annoyance.

"Didn't mean to upset the guy, sheesh. I just wanted to know how to use my sword is all..."

"You've got to be mindful of how he feels about his weapon. That thing's as much a part of him as Shu's tail is a part of Shu. Calling it just a 'thing' is insulting," Vegeta explained, rather impatient for Takeshi's complaints right now.

"Well I apologized! And he was still being a pain about it!" Takeshi gave a roll of his eyes, looking over his shoulder at the hilt of his sword jutting out. "Seriously, how else am I going to learn to use this thing?"

"Just swing it around until something happens, that's what I'd do." Kabocha said, smirking and hefting his shoulders in a shrug. "How hard can it be to be good with a sword anyways? As long as its sharp and you've got a good arm it can't be all that complex. I mean jeez, it's a sharp stick more or less."

"That 'sharp stick' was used to kill people for thousands of years on our world, and probably plenty of others too. In the right hands a sword is a very deadly tool. Anyone with basic training would make short work of Takeshi if he got into a fight." Fact was that swordsmanship wasn't someone just happened to pick up, it took precise drilling and practice. Vegeta shook his head in annoyance, letting out a sigh and looking across to Takeshi. "He'll train you, just give him time to cool down. He only just woke up and already you're demanding that he trains you, I can't blame him for being annoyed frankly."

Takeshi opened his mouth to offer a rebuttal, thinking better of it and closing it again. Vegeta was right, he really could have picked a better time, but instead his excitement got the better of him. "I'll try again later, when he's up for it. I really do want to learn how to use this thing." After all, Shu had his staff, and now Takeshi his sword. They could be trained concurrently, and hopefully there they'd get something more they could do together too. Goodness knows there had hardly been any time as of late for them to do anything remotely fun with just the two of them.
