Viral didn’t need people like that telling him how to feel or what was wrong with him, he wasn’t a coward or meek. He could do it, he could do what everyone else could and it was only food, so what if it came with horrific memories from a long time passed. He could take it, he was not a coward; however, choking on his food was not part of being brave. He panicked completely, it was all too much for just one moment of anger against an arrogant Saiyan. Struggling to breathe through the sudden breakdown and all of the food in his mouth, he covered his mouth with his paw and gasped through all the food, Yumi’s patting not entirely helping other than making him worry about his image.

Finally managing to swallow his food, he coughed hard and leaned forward slightly, shaking slightly before rubbing his head. He definitely didn’t feel good after that and luckily for them he didn’t puke. He sure showed them he could do it, even if it was causing all sorts of feelings inside him that made him feel pretty unwell. Slowly resting his head on the table, he let out a groan before he slowly looked towards Vegeta, feeling a little unfocused. That woman had just a big of a say as the others had and if she thought that then he had to prove to her that she was wrong; shame that she was gone, though. Letting out a groan, he slowly looked towards the fish, “…Who…says she doesn’t? I’m supposed to be strong! Not…defeated by…food…” he growled, pushing at the table to try and get up but not having much luck with it, “I am supposed to be strong! I am not a coward!”

Shu looked between Vegeta and Viral, feeling a little conflicted to what he was supposed to do. He wanted to stay around but he also wanted to go to his brother and see what was being discussed, his eyes quickly going to T’charrl before he let out a squeak when Vegeta looked to him and giving him a brief order of sorts, “Ooh? O-Okay…” he spoke quickly, looking to T’charrl again and pulling at his claw, “Lets go!” Almost pulling him along, he exited the place before looking up and down the corridor, moving on along after Takeshi’s trail before he made a halt when Takeshi suddenly screamed at the woman. That was definitely not in the right direction when it came to interacting and trying to calm everyone down. Feeling a little embarrassed, he looked up to T’charrl who was giving them a good stare, probably feeling confused all the same, “Umm…T-Takeshi?” he asked up, looking back in his direction, “Maybe, umm…be less shouty and more calming down…?”
