"That guy was a bit of a jerk, but I don't see him being another tyrant." Kabocha agreed, sighing as he crossed his arms. He still wasn't thrilled with their plans, but at least now he'd calmed down enough to recognize it was the best option for the time being, and probably the only option too. "I can't blame you for wanting to keep Choi safe. I mean I've got no siblings, but I've got to keep both my parents safe, so there's that." The downside of being an only child, he supposed. Right now it seemed that everyone had a support group or someone to fall on. The twins had one another, the Princes each other, and the Commander and the Earthlings one another as well. In reality, Kabocha reflected, he was very much alone at the moment, that bumming him out a fair bit. The topic of Korian's near slaying of them before didn't help to lighten the mood, though he cracked a smile anyways. "War sucks like that though. Besides, look at how the Princes get when they're pissed, and he didn't know they were the good guys. Can you blame him for being jumpy?"

Vegeta had figured his gentle please might make some progress if his more direct approaches didn't; they went just as poorly. Viral became properly angry with him for it, even stating the well known truth that as it stood he was weak. Sighing heavily the Saiyan shook his head, doing his utmost to remain patient and giving the Beastman a small smile. "A strong mind is just as important as a strong body. I remember dad used to say that all the time. I still believe that, it's why before even though I never fought I still trained, you have to keep both healthy." There was no delicate way of putting this next part, Viral would have to hear it as it was and deal. If he grew angrier, which was very likely, then maybe Vegeta would let him cool down alone. "You are not healthy in mind, not right now. Your body is recovering, there's no doubt about that. And physically you're getting stronger, but you're losing hold on yourself. It's like... Shu and Ki. He's plenty powerful but he has no idea how to properly use it. If you keep on this path you'll go berserk, and what good will that do you? Listen to me Viral, you need to talk to us. Be it myself, Yumi, or even Takeshi or Shu, talk to someone. Keeping your thoughts, good and bad, bottled up inside of you are going to only hurt you further."

Damn it, Takeshi thought, nearly had her talking. He certainly didn't expect it to be that simple, though it certainly would have been nice. "Sorry, I just assumed you might know something about it. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't curious about it," he answered, chuckling as he itched at his nose. "And I don't know... Maybe they know something about the energy? Or they just worry about it all being used up? Just saying there could be a reason for their not wanting to use it other than just because." Come to think of it he wasn't entirely sure why those people wanted to keep it. Maybe it had something to do with that city of theirs though, maybe they had their own use for it. They had a bit to work with now anyways, they knew that S'uma was only the financial backer, that was about it. Takeshi wanted to ask where she sent her money, but her last comment got him blushing. "Ah... Well... Uh, thank you..." he stammered, rubbing the back of his neck. Any woman calling him cute, be it alien or otherwise, managed to trip him up, considering what the usual was.
