Neither Kabocha nor Kai seemed to be able to make heads or tails about the princes. They were an enigma to be sure, definitely different than the rest of their race. Even Vegeta seemed more like a Saiyan than they did, which was odd considering they were all from the same planet. "Who knows man...? Shu keeps Takeshi from going berserk and Takeshi is like Shu's little keeper. I guess they help each other in a way? Makes me a little jealous, even if I do think having a sibling follow you around incessantly would be a pain in the butt. I swear those two are never apart!" There had to be more to Takeshi's change than just having his brother again. He was never like this with them, so to act so different now was beyond peculiar. Shu seemed to just be a quiet and timid kid, hard to believe that he had that crazy Oozaru form that so many of them feared. They were an odd pair, that was for sure. "Hey, maybe you could ask them when they get back? Press your luck, see whether or not Takeshi hits you for asking?"

"We need to find out where so we can solve this. If I don't know exactly what the issue is then we're just taking shots in the dark, and that won't do anyone any good." Vegeta explained patiently. Viral could dismiss and deny that anything might be bothering him or had changed all he wanted, that didn't make it so. In a way he was acting childish, refusing to accept what other people were saying and trying to ignore everyone. Stubborn might be a better word for it. The Beastman got a puzzled look out of the Saiyan when he called himself a failure, the two certainly not on the same page. "You are the only one that considers yourself a failure. I'm not going to sugarcoat it and say you've been on your best streak, but you're far from a failure. And if you're a failure as you say then why don't you let us help you get better? It makes no sense to me, you loathe your current state but refuse to change it. If you're tired of being beaten or 'shown up' as you say then let us help you more. We'll train until you get your strength back, every day for as long as it takes. You have to be the one to accept this though, we won't force it."

Takeshi let go of Shu when offered sweets, giving the candies a staring at. He wasn't too keen on alien food that was brightly coloured, but not wanting to seem rude he took a few anyways. "Thanks again miss, and thanks for the heads up. We'll be sure to be right out and not cause any problems." So something had those men all worked up, just like some of the soldiers he'd been seeing. S'uma was really clueless, the only crime she was guilty of was being an idiot. Waving goodbye with his empty hand Takeshi led Shu out of the home, taking the walkway back to the gates under the scrutiny of the several guards. Whilst stepping back out onto the street he popped one of the candies into his mouth curiously, grimacing slightly at the tart flavor that it had inside. "So... She was helpful..." he mumbled, swallowing his treat and sticking out his tongue. That wasn't something he was keen on eating again, and looking at the remaining goodies he was rather hesitant to try any more.

"That went better than I'd expected... Honestly she was sort of nice, even if a little clueless." Chuckling to himself Takeshi stashed away the candies in his pocket, figuring he could always test them on the others to see how they were. Now that S'uma had been seen to they'd need to pay Ka'shra a visit. With only the knowledge that S'uma supplied money to an unknown cause they didn't exactly have what they needed, meaning a lot was riding on their visit to the retired general. The building was way back in the military section, by their home and the headquarters, probably a twenty minute walk from where they were now. "We'd better get moving, hopefully that geezer is home, I'd hate to have to look for him." Taking a look over at Shu and seeing how he looked fidgety the older boy smiled sadly. "You feeling okay buddy?" Takeshi asked, "Still nervous? I promise we're almost done, okay? Then I'll take care of the rest, and you can go to the house and relax. Deal?"
