"Hey! My little cat scratch nearly worked against you didn't it? Who says I won't be able to hurt this creature?" Yumi asked, smiling confidently as she ran alongside Viral now. "Besides, I can still punch the crap out of it. Just because I can't break the skin doesn't mean I can't hurt it. After all I'm guessing my hits didn't exactly tickle you did they?" She wasn't on par with Viral in terms of strength, yet she was no pushover either. She was fair confident in her own abilities to be able to fight alongside her friend, albeit there was still plenty of nerves. The renewal of her mysterious changes had left her with a great many questions and even some doubts, but she refused to let those keep her back. As she had told herself she was not going to be deterred, she was absolutely going to be part of this. 

Yumi truly didn't understand Viral's aversion to the Saiyans. Sure they had met some bad ones along the way but their friends were nothing like those creeps. Vegeta was basically family to both of them and he was a half-Saiyan, as were Shu and Takeshi. The latter could be bothersome sometimes but he was a good kid, she honestly didn't have any real problem with him. Shu certainly not, no one could actually hate him. She may be a little biased on the matter, but she held no resentment towards Choi, or his twin Kai either. Even Kabocha was nowhere near as bothersome as she'd initially pinned him as, albeit he was the new outlet for her annoyance. Overall they were just... Kids. Prideful yes, arrogant maybe, eccentric perhaps, but not bad. She just wished that Viral wasn't grouping the rest up with their few lousy encounters, or making a bigger deal out of them then it really was. He was so critical sometimes, she really wish he'd change that.

As Viral skidded to a stop so did Yumi, and she took a moment to look out over the valley below. That was going to be quite the walk to the mountains, they were some distance away even now. Perhaps they didn't have to walk though, maybe they could make use of a shortcut of sorts. However, her proposal was going to wait a second, there was more arguing to be done. "I'll find a way to make it work, don't worry about me so much. I'm not a useless girl you know, I happen to know how to fight." How unfair, Viral was treating things as though she was just a liability. Looking over at him sternly she folded her arms across her chest, stepping closer and looking up at him in question. "Just why are you so not confident in me now? You've never thought I couldn't fight before, and you've never treated me like I was incapable. So what gives? Do you really just not want me here, is that it?"

The root really wasn't half bad, even if ginger had never exactly been among the top favorite foods. Takeshi liked it well enough regardless, Shu did too by the looks of it. The root was so tiny that even as a whole it was barely more than a morsel, yet not wanting to seem rude the Saiyan didn't say a word on the matter. After splitting the remnants up with the others he finished off what he had, glad to at least have gotten something into his stomach. Perhaps if these people were generous enough they could show where they found their food and the three of them might help themselves. Then again, considering their appetites it might not be such a stellar idea. Looking over at T'charrl he smiled at his friend's indecisiveness, nodding for him to go ahead and eat. "Of course, why wouldn't we be? And we've got pretty strong stomachs, it takes something really nasty to sit wrong with us. Just try a bit, and if you don't like it then you don't have to eat it." That was something Takeshi had never actually put a ton of thought into. He'd eaten goodness knows how many foods from different worlds, never once thinking how it may potentially sit with him. "And yeah, there's loads of different kinds of food. Hope you've got an open mind."
