Shu gave Takeshi a big smile, feeling fully confident in him and his willingness to look after him. He didn’t want to go in and sleep all alone in a bed, everything else only proving to swirl its bad energy around him and give him nightmares. He wanted to feel safe and even if it was just Takeshi keeping him company, it was still someone and having just one person made him all the more happier, “Thanks…really! I’m scared when I’m alone now, but not anymore with you”. He was pretty happy with that, knowing that Takeshi was going to help him get rid of them once and for all. There was many a bad night where he wouldn’t be able to get sleep because he was afraid of what would come in the morning, his nightmare often being just that. He wished he could handle it better, but he was also glad that he wasn’t at the stage that Viral was with his own mental condition. It was only the first week in captivity that Viral had been brave, but then after that he had changed quite drastically, becoming quiet and shut away.

Hearing about the god was certainly strange, its tale not quite so brilliant when all it did was go away after defeating Goku twice. There wasn’t any reason behind it that he could think of, only that they fought and just went their separate ways right after everything was said and done. Letting out a sigh, he turned back to his food, grabbing some more, “I hope he doesn’t come back or do anything else bad. Maybe he got bored…” Munching on some of his food, he looked up when Takeshi decided to compliment the twins, giving them a smile before something else had grabbed Takeshi’s attention. Looking towards him, he tilted his head before slowly looking over to see what he was seeing, his eyes going to Yumi and Viral who appeared to be in some sort of food ritual. It was definitely strange to see, but Viral didn’t look like he was enjoying it one bit.

Viral could only let out a cough in response to what happened to him, his hand trying to assist in getting it down before he could breathe freely without coughing the fish up. He didn’t know what to make of that, it happened fairly suddenly and his body hadn’t had time to react to the food being in his mouth. Staring down at the table for a moment, he frowned before looking up at Yumi, feeling embarrassed over what had happened rather than horrified. Letting out a groan, his eyes casually shifted towards the others for a second. They were looking at him; the twins, Takeshi, even Shu was staring at him. Looking away rather quickly, he stared downwards before quickly looking up to Yumi, pulling back slightly when she held out the fish for him, “W-What?? No I-…I don’t know, don’t…” he spoke hastily, raising his paw, “I’m fine…I’m fine! Please don’t…I don’t need more…”
