Yumi let out a sad little sigh, reluctantly releasing Viral as he seemed to be in discomfort being held. "They were afraid of you, sure, but you're acting like it's a bad thing we left the rebels," she answered, smiling slightly. "Anyone that is willing to do something that bad to their own person isn't worth following. All you did was make us realize that sooner. And besides, it didn't look like Sayomi hated you, and some of the other rebels still didn't seem to. They weren't all there during the trial, so you still have some people who favor you." It was a little surprising that Viral was even bothered by what the rebels saw him as. She didn't know them all too well, but it was rare that he took to anyone else's opinions of himself. "And I'm not sugarcoating it... Am I...?" Yumi looked to Viral uncertainly, biting her lip. "I'm being positive because... Well... I feel like it's easier than being miserable." Shifting uneasily in her spot she folded her hands together, twisting her fingers nervously. "I wasn't there that long... So I really don't have any room to talk... But it was still rough. And it does bother me what happened, and it makes me uneasy. I figure that I'm alive though, and I've got people around me... So it's not so bad."

"Says the spastic little chimp..." Kabocha mused, gritting his teeth as Takeshi reached across and kicked him in the shin. Grumbling beneath his breath the Saiyan looked over at Shu, raising an eyebrow. "These people don't have spaceships? Yet they can build things like those pillars? Isn't that a bit odd?"

"Towers are easier to build than spacecraft," Vegeta pointed out, "Besides, you've seen this world. Curiosity aside there is no reason for them to travel. They have plenty of resources and land and everything they could possibly need. Maybe there's just never been cause for it until now. It seems like they get visitors on occasion," he continued, pausing only to take a bite of his meal. "Which is probably getting them eager to try traveling for themselves."

Takeshi continued to eat merrily as the others talked amongst themselves. His plate was already nearly empty in spite of taking a good bit of food, and sadly he wasn't going to get seconds if Yumi was going to be eating too. With a few bites left he slowed the pace a bit, savouring it all more than he had been. Shifting his gaze over to Shu the older boy set down his fork, smacking his own forehead. "We need to teach you to read..." he mumbled, as if forgetting that he'd wanted to do it before. "And if you're talking about Instant Transmission, I have no idea how to learn it. Gohan wrote it's about focusing on energy and... Well really the rest of it I didn't understand." Too complex for him, at least the words that Gohan had used. There was a tiny bit here and there, but it didn't seem like much. "Something about just feeling someone's Ki and... Figuring out where they are from there. That was supposed to do it, I don't get how though."
