"It's not that we can't eat, just not right now..." Takeshi explained gently, smiling a bit. There was so much for them to do already, taking time off in order to have a meal was going to put them even further behind schedule. It stunk, as he was hungry too. There was a big issue of just where they might get a meal as well, as there was really no food back at the house any longer. "How about we steal some food later? Then we can eat," he suggested, giving his brother a sneaky look. Clearly Shu didn't agree with that idea in the slightest. It was strange to suggest, but realistically the only other option was to either go hunt again or make mooney, both of which would eat up too much time. Sighing to himself he rested his hands behind his head, glancing skyward as he shrugged. "Just an idea, and yeah, we'd probably get in trouble. We'll have to find some way to get food though, since we're out of cash."

"Yeah, whatever you want." Yumi urged, backing it with a smile. If she couldn't make Viral happy doing her thing then they'd give his a try. Not uttering a word until he spoke up she was a bit curious that he was so quick to jump on training, especially that he wanted to be hit in turn. She'd said they would do as he wanted though, and she intended to stick with that. "I'm not going to use my full strength, but sure. I'll give you a good sparring match if that's what you want." The bit about locals made her giggle, smiling bashfully and shaking her head a bit. "We can't fight them, you know that. That General though... I'd almost say you can hit him just for being a creep." Giggling once more she turned and walked out of the family room, humming along in a bit better spirits as she went to and out the back door. This could work in her favor too, trying to get him to eat. If they worked up an appetite then just maybe he'd have a meal, even if a tiny one.
