Yumi tried her best initially to keep herself from being crushed, running on pure instinct right now. Try as she might to push the hand open however she didn't have good enough leverage or room to get anything moving, she was more or less cut off. As the pressure gradually build up she could feel her body straining against the forces, doing everything in her power to keep from popping like a bug. Using Ki was helping a little, she managed to emit a bit of her energy around her almost like a second skin, managing to alleviate some of the giant's grip. There was still not enough room to get free however, and with each passing second the pain became worse. Miraculously nothing had broken, but it was still agonizing enough, feeling like one's own body was going to implode in on itself. Crying out in pain just as her chest felt like it might be crushed the beast abruptly loosened his grip, his hands retracting from her and letting her fall to the ground haplessly. Landing with a thud Yumi let out another pained whimper, breathing heavily as she tried to recover from the lack of oxygen as best she could. The crushing might be over but her body was still very much sore, she'd need a moment to get herself together again. 

The creature might have been absolutely livid were it not in utter pain right now. It had been on the verge of slaying the female only to have Viral come back into the fray and deal a rather nasty blow. Hitting the less well protected back of the beast the Enki's attack had done more than just sear skin this time. Not only did it burn away fur, but flesh, creating a visible and rather painful wound just beneath the right shoulder blade. A dark gash of good size now sat exposed, blood freely dripping out and into the fur as well as onto the tiled ground. Roaring with an earth shattering volume the creature fell to one knee, going to try and cover the wound before thinking better of it, knowing there wasn't much it could do. It would heal, yet that would take some time, and certainly not during combat. Panting from the pain it looked over its shoulder at the tarnished Enki, eyes burning brightly with hatred for Viral right now. "You... You damned alien...!" it roared, turning itself around and trying to grab at the Beastman, only to nearly fall forward as it extended the wound more and caused blood to spill out. Gasping painfully the giant fell to its hands and knees, looking at Viral with a profound loathing all the same. "I'll kill both of you. I'm not giving you any more chances to escape!"

"But I... I don't get mad that often!" Takeshi said, sounding a little perturbed. Realizing he'd only just proven his brother's point he sighed, crossing his arms and looking off to the side stubbornly, pursing his lips. He had stayed calm through that entire fight, too frazzled and pretty clueless to have any time to get angry. Like it or not too his brother was right, he did get mad pretty often, and often times over silly things. Changing the subject to grooming of all things the older boy could hardly believe it himself when he agreed to the proposal. Chalking it up to being too indifferent at the moment he sat on the ground, waiting a bit nervously for Shu to do his thing. He couldn't see his brother now, but he could most certainly feel him. It was quite strange, feeling Shu's little hands digging through his hair and prodding at his scalp. Feeling his face heat up in embarrassment Takeshi looked down at the ground, his hands in his lap as he rubbed his thumbs together idly. "Well... First time for everything right?" he mused, managing a slight smile as he shifted his eyes back towards Shu. "Besides, I don't think you'll find anything. So what's the harm in it?"

"Mama and papa okay, yes?" Tesuga looked back at his parents for confirmation, getting encouraging looks from both of them. This trio of travelers was quite clearly friendly, so it didn't surprise him they were allowing this. Not that he'd had any issue being near them before it was okay anyways. Hearing T'charrl's reply to playing got him a little disheartened for a moment, having hoped they could play some games. The problem resolved itself with the last bit of what his friend said though, a smile creeping over the child's face. With an excited giggle he latched onto the Kaesstrian's leg, and being mindful of his claws began to shimmy his way up the alien's leg, trying to climb on him like a plant. He got about to T'charrl's knee before his father pulled him off, whining in annoyance while flailing a bit. "Papa no! Play! Climb!" Being set on his feet he let out a huff, crossing his arms and dropping down onto his backside stubbornly.

The father set his son down, smiling exasperatedly when he started to pout and sulk. "Sorry, very friendly. Like anyone, friends a lot." he explained, giving Tesuga's head a small rubbing before looking up at T'charrl. "Thank again, can't thank more. Food? Anything? Repay, yes? Owe sons life, debt to you." In a society where people were awfully close and worked with one another it was a social standard to repay those who helped you. Often it was just helping to find food, or make an addition to a home, minor things. Saving the life of a loved one though, that was on an entirely different spectrum. Nothing that he could think of as a reward seemed adequate enough. "Anything want? We find, or make, just say."
