"I mean Goku was a kid at one point too, you don't think he was ever afraid of anything? Or that he never worried? I'm just saying don't feel bad for worrying, that's all." If they went and tried to talk to those people now then it'd be tricky with Shu being so jumpy. That could easily enough be blamed on his shyness, but then again his sibling did have a point. What were they even going to say? Katas hadn't been very helpful in that regard, only mentioning he wanted to see S'uma and Ka'shra in his office. They had been basically left to their own devices, which for reasons that seemed fairly obvious to Takeshi wasn't a good idea. The proposal to ask one of their friends to remain with Katas did seem like a poor idea in hindsight, which meant one of two things. Either one of them had to stay behind or they'd have to have faith that the man would be okay. Shu brought up a fair point though, one that might just hold some merit. "You know... I don't imagine that Katas does need to be there." Takeshi mused, "And he's got to have some kind of escape plan for dangerous situations, right? So he has a way to safety, we don't need to worry, right? Does that help at all?"

"Who the hell are you calling a thug?!" Kabocha snapped, clearly angry now. "I'm a noble for your information, and even if that means nothing I'm still no killer! You can't clump me together with the others just because I'm a Saiyan too! That's like calling all those humans weak and pathetic, but I know first hand there are some strong ones. You're just being an ignorant jerk and refusing to accept that just *maybe* you might be wrong about me!" If he wasn't so livid maybe he could get his point across, but with Viral acting so sure of himself on the subject he couldn't keep his head on straight. Just who in the hell did he think he was labelling people like that? "I'm only protesting because you seem to think I'm some kind of brute! I'm the same age as Takeshi, and I'm not a monster! I'm arguing because you seem to think I'm some fricken serial killer or something!" When Viral brought up fighting he hit the nail right on the head. He was likely still weak due to recovering, maybe fighting him wouldn't go too poorly. Then again with his friends right there it may quickly devolve into a 3 on 1, he didn't expect the twins to step in to help him. Instead he smiled bitterly, shaking his head and pushing Viral in the chest. "You're not even worth fighting in your sorry state. I'd rather to beat on a tree, that'd put up more of a fight than you. Hell I'm surprised you can stand right now."
