As if Takeshi needed to hear some kind of justification from Shu. There may well be plenty good reasons to groom, but the actual act of doing so just put him off a little much. Of course the younger boy just had to twist his arm, making it clear that he wanted the older boy's help in doing things. Caught between his own personal dislike for bugs and his wanting to help Shu the Saiyan decided to change the subject, removing himself from the conversation as he tried to get in touch with Vegeta. "They sounded tired, but that's it. Knowing them they've got to be fine," Takeshi remarked, looking in the direction of their ship. "Both of them are stubborn if nothing else, so it'll take a ton to really do them in." Or, as memory served, a protruding piece of metal, or an angry Saiyan rebel. Those were random circumstances, Viral could definitely handle more than those situations showed. Takeshi then wasn't all that concerned with their well being, knowing that even if they were tired it meant they were probably fine. 

It took a second to hear back from Vegeta, which was a bit curious seeing as what the matter was. "Yeah, uh... Now don't be mad but we kind of need to borrow the shuttle." Takeshi frowned when there was silence on the other end, looking between T'charrl and Shu confused to see if maybe the line was dead. Hearing Vegeta clear his throat he then knew to go on. "Yumi and Viral went out to fight, and they might be kind of... Sorta hurt. So if you can be a pal and bring the shuttle out we'll go get them and bring them back. I promise it's nothing bad, they're just tired!" He added the last bit quickly, more or less to save his own skin. There was a simple sigh on the other side before the line was cut, and Takeshi was left standing there with a puzzled look on his face. Vegeta had sounded fairly reluctant to help out, heaven knows why. He'd figure the guy would jump at a chance to help out Yumi and Viral, must be busy with something big then. Either way the ship was going to be brought out, and the three of them could get a move on.

"Princes! I knew I had seen you earlier!"

Takeshi jumped a bit as they were suddenly yelled at, not knowing where in the world that had come from. It took him a second to realize who had shouted, and when he turned around to look he was abruptly lifted off his feet and into a rather tight hug. Gasping in surprise he squirmed a little in Leto's grasp, trying to wriggle free with his arms being pinned to his side and all. "L-Leto... Nice to see you too..." he managed out, looking up at the massive man. "Air... Need air..."

Leto smiled apologetically as he set Takeshi on his feet, not having meant to compact the boy like that. He was just rather happy to see the two he owed his new life to, as he always probably would be. "Apologies, Prince! I was just so ecstatic to see my saviors and I just had to come over and say hello! And what better than a manly bear hug to do it?" Chuckling to himself for a moment the Yulian then at last noticed a rather large bug standing fair close to him. For a second he simply stared at T'charrl, not sure what to make of him. Then, in perhaps a slight misjudgement he slammed his fists together, going to punch the Kaesstrian. "Look out young sirs, one of the natives have slipped into our base!" Throwing said punch then he was surprised when he hit Takeshi, stopping immediately and getting a fairly worried look as he stared at the boy laid out on the ground. "Are you alright Takeshi...?"

"Eh... Yeah... Totally fine..." Takeshi grumbled, still splayed out idly. He'd managed to take that hit right to the noggin, and as a result he was seeing plenty of stars at the moment. Laughing weakly he pushed himself into a sitting position, rubbing his head with a wince before looking up at Leto. "And what did you try hitting him for?! He's a friend!"

Leto blinked in surprise, giving T'charrl another look before immediately kneeling down and bowing before him. "Oh! Forgive me then, I was wrong! A man always admits his mistakes, and I'll do so right this instant! Forgive me stranger, I did not know you were an ally! A thousand pardons!"

"Your body isn't too weak. You took a huge hit and all you have is a dislocated shoulder. That's some pretty good defense if you ask me." Yumi then paused a moment, eying the cut on Viral's forehead before gesturing to it with a small smile. "And... That. But considering how strong that thing was it's amazing this is all that happened. And you're already conscious, so... That's something right?" Back to trying to find the bright side of an unfortunate event, this wasn't bound to go well. When they finally got back to the ship Viral was going to need to get his arm properly fixed and his head looked at. Using a tank for those seemed a little extreme, so it was probably bandages and a sling for him then. Not knowing where his mind was at the present Yumi gave her friend a hopeful smile, leaning forward a little bit. "How about when we get back we get you patched up and then we can eat something? I mean you've got to be hungry at this point, and we've got food to spare right now. I can cook whatever you want, that much I can definitely do!" Yumi was determined to make things up for lousing up the shoulder business, and this seemed like a safe way to do it... If Viral was going to eat yet.
