Shu's delight and laughter was more than enough to bring Takeshi to a wide smile as well. If he was having this much fun as a passenger then he'd have infinitely more so when he could fly under his own power. They were definitely going to have to train, preferably even once they were finished on this hunt of theirs. It would be some time until they got back to Earth after all, so they may as well pass the time with something useful. After playfully giving Shu a little bounce he set his brother down on the grass, taking a gander about the area. It seemed so barren here, it was probably just the part of the planet they had landed on. Go figure, all the inhabitants could be on the opposite side of the world for all they knew, and here they were scrounging around in the boonies. "I don't know how tiny it's going to be, but you might be right. There could be little tiny people on this planet, who knows?" Still, even if they were small Takeshi figured they would have seen [i]someone[/i] by now. "Take a look around all you want, just be careful about the edges. We'll go down to the ground after we see what's up here, okay?" Hopefully they could spot something up here, anything. Even if it was something as simple as smoke that would at least five them an idea on direction. Letting Shu do as he pleased then Takeshi wandered himself over to the edge of the plateau, putting his hands on his hips and looking out around them. More plateaus stretched on for maybe a kilometer, he could just barely see the end of them before the horizon. So this went on for quite some time, that was unfortunate. If the people did indeed live here they were going to be wandering around for some time looking for them. Smiling exasperatedly he let out a sigh, running a hand through his hair. Well, probably best that they get started. "Hey Shu? T'charrl? I'm going to go take a look on some of the other peaks, I'll be back." Shu ought to be perfectly fine on his own, and T'charrl was certainly not helpless. They could all do their own thing for now then and meet back here, that would work. Smiling at his brother and friend Takeshi gave a quick wave before leaping across a chasm to another plateau, then another and another. He wanted to see just where this outcropping ended and the plains continued, maybe there would be something worth looking into on the other side. Or it could be a total bust too. The only way he'd know is if he went over there and looked though. Leaving Viral alone was never the intent at any point in time. Everyone worried what would happen if he were alone, so they tried to keep near him for his own safety. That didn't absolutely guarantee they were always around, as the Beastman was quick to point out. Yumi cringed visibly at his words, frowning and lowering her gaze to the grass below them. They had figured at that point he could use the sun to heal, and being stuck inside would only make him miserable. And admittedly he had slipped their mind, if only for a moment with everything else going on. But that was one instance in quite a few others where they had stuck by him. It wasn't fair that he was picking out that single moment to hold over her head. Even so, that single moment was more than enough to make her feel bad about it. It seemed awfully backwards to claim they'd always be there only to have left him alone, it was a lie and a cruel one at that. "All of those different animals might make you, but that doesn't mean you are them." Yumi said meekly, finally lifting her gaze and looking back at Viral. "You're a mixture of them, and that makes you something else entirely. Just because a something that went into you did something doesn't mean you'll do it too." Like he wasn't going into the water and thrashing about, tearing chunks out of fish and goodness knows what else. He might be a little more animal-like in behavior, but that didn't make him an animal. Sighing softly at his question she released his paw, putting her hands in her lap and shrugging her shoulders. "I know you're made of them, but that doesn't make you them, get it? And... You are better than the creature that attacked. I mean... You're part human too, and probably even part Saiyan somewhere. Growing up you were just another person as far as Vegeta and I knew, your appearance didn't really strike us as odd. It was only later that we found out what you were that we knew, and even then we didn't care." Managing a small smile she shook her head, rubbing at one of her hands nervously. "You've got emotions, and feelings, and you can think things through. Animals might have made you, but you're a person. So yes... You're better than that creature."
