Dragon Ball: Legacy (Mogtaki and Vena Sera)

"We can teach you to ride a bike if you want to, it shouldn't be too hard. Only I've never done it, so... I don't know who's going to teach you." Takeshi had never ridden a bike before, he never wanted to either. He couldn't drive for that matter, for the same reason. Yumi or Vegeta probably knew how to do it, and if not they were kind of out of luck. "I know they're happy and all, but still... It's just weird I guess, her not being around, you know?" They could always ask to do something later, if she was free. It was selfish wanting to keep Yumi around and he knew it, but he was a bit worried about making her angry if they tried pulling them apart too. Relationship stuff was just stupid. Peering through the glass of the oven a bit impatiently Takeshi sighed, resting his elbows on his knees and his chin on his hands. "Maybe we should go ask Kai if he wants to do something? I do kinda feel bad if he's been all alone this whole time. Even worse if he's stuck with Kabocha."

"So I assume my taunting isn't helping your case at all? I suppose it's pointless now anyways, it's clear you're in control of yourself." It was agitating Viral, but not angering him to the point of losing control. Smiling apologetically Vegeta folded his hands behind his back, looking the Beastman over curiously for a moment. In all his momentary excitement there had been one rather large oversight; Getting Viral back to normal was going to be troublesome. They had a decent idea how to initiate the change, but reversing it was another matter altogether. "We're short of demons and dinosaurs unfortunately, I don't think we'll be fighting those any time soon either... But what about Saiyans? Shu and Takeshi would probably be more than happy to spar. We can always ask them to help, or better yet..." he paused, smirking seeing a familiar face at the end of the hall. "We can have the new kid fight with you. I don't know how strong he is, but it'll be good practice either way, don't you agree?"

Dragon Ball: Legacy (Mogtaki and Vena Sera)

"If you repeat things a lot it can help you remember. It's like most of what I was taught by Master Xing, we went over things until I knew them, plain and simple. Other stuff, like flying, is sort of... Muscle memory. You know, like riding a bike, you never forget." A quick look at Shu and Takeshi was reminded that phrase was probably well beyond his brother. Darn, and that was pretty much the only clever one he knew too. "If you want to learn how to make a fire then I can teach you. It's really easy, especially if we cheat and use Ki. Even without it though it's quick and simple." There wasn't a whole lot of reason to teach Shu how to prepare a fire anymore. They didn't really spend a lot of time out in the wilderness and he wasn't living in the jungle, so there was no reason there to know how to do it. They didn't have a fireplace at his house, so it would kind of be a waste. In perhaps the mother of all transitions Takeshi went from talking about food with Shu to his opinion on Yumi and Choi. Shrugging his shoulders at Shu's rebuttal the older boy placed his hands in his lap, looking down at them with a frown. "Yeah, they're happy, but they're never around for us anymore. I mean Choi I don't really care about, but we've seen Yumi all of... Twice since getting on here? And that was what, to eat? And then once or twice on Earth. We used to hang around with her all the time and now she's doing something else, doesn't that bother you at all?" Maybe it was a little selfish, but Takeshi wanted his friends around. "I don't know what Kai has been doing either... Maybe we should find him."

Vegeta smiled thoughtfully at Viral, quite enjoying his rebuttals more than he probably should. "You've really thought mauling me over haven't you? I don't know if I should be surprised or worried." He knew after all the threats were purely out of frustration, Viral wouldn't do anything to him. He also knew should anything ever happen to himself the Beastman would lay on him heavily in the same way he was now. "Stabbing you in the head would not only ruin everything we're working towards, but it would mean possibly killing a friend. I'm not capable of that, no matter what my bout of anger might have suggested. You should know that." Save perhaps for their newest addition there wasn't a single person on this ship who in good conscience could 'put Viral out of his misery.' If he wanted that for himself then unfortunately he'd have to go without, because no one would give him that. "If you want to find out how you'd do in a battle we can always look for someone? I'd fight again but we already had our go of it, and it might as well be against someone different. That is provided you're willing to try fighting."

Dragon Ball: Legacy (Mogtaki and Vena Sera)

Takeshi rolled his eyes, amazed Shu actually thought he had been serious. Anything that wasn't remotely smart was food, if it talked then that pretty much meant it was off limits. It was different, eating animals, since they were all on instinct and didn't really get to you when you killed them. It hadn't always been as easy to hunt, Takeshi reflected, getting lost in a memory there for a second. Shaking his head he smiled at his brother, relieving an itch on his cheek lazily. "Eh... I could listen to them. If any of what they said made a darn ounce of sense," he remarked, frowning. "Seasonings and temperatures, buoyancy and tenderness, eh, it's all confusing. I just cook meat til its cooked and eat it, how much more complicated does it need to be than that?" They weren't cooking for a king after all, and neither were the twins or their father, not anymore. It just seemed superfluous to put in all that effort. Then again, the food their friends made was pretty tasty, so it was hard to hate it. Something else they did however was much easier to dislike. "I don't like Choi being with Yumi..." Takeshi mumbled, "She's always with him now, and he makes her all... Goofy. It's annoying." They were both happy, so he should be happy for them, but he couldn't be. It was hard to be glad for your friends when they seemed to ignore you in favor of one another.

In spite of clearly agitating Viral all Vegeta could do was smile and joke around. He rarely ever got to enjoy himself like this, and really while it might be inconvenient for Viral his situation really wasn't that bad. "Okay, eat my limbs, and enjoy trying to help yourself," he retorted, shrugging his shoulders. "I suppose since I'm, in a way your master that means you'll have to take care of me as well. I hope you enjoy pushing a wheel chair about." Chuckling under his breath he shook his head, dismissing the notion completely. They had a fair bit of work ahead of them, and if this was already too much for Viral then he was going to be one miserable man before this was over. As a courtesy Vegeta would tone it back a little, after all he was just enjoying the moment, and their first success. "I will not stab you in the head, how would that solve anything?" he asked, sighing as he placed a hand on his face. "Look at yourself, you're doing something you couldn't only a week ago. Be happy about that, you achieved a big milestone. Sure, we've far from perfected things, but what we did today is leagues above how you were before." And they could only improve from here on out, it was doubtful Viral would regress at this point. They could hopefully get this form settled in no time and move onto the next, whichever that might be.

Haku felt a little conflicted, not sure if he ought to remain with T'charrl or go. While the alien's well being wasn't really his concern he was worried that, if left alone, the Kaesstrian might try something. And should anything bad happen he'd be to blame, being the last one with the alien. Seeing T'charrl lying there and staying pretty calm he made the decision to go, he'd only be in the way otherwise. Now that he was left alone again Haku was faced with the familiar dilemma of having no clue where to go exactly. He supposed to his room, though he didn't feel near tired enough. The smell of food from before made him a bit hungry, even if it had been raw, so perhaps a meal would be a good idea. Hm... Was the other way quicker to the mess hall? The only way to find out would be to go, so he made the decision and started walking alone in solitary silence. The Princes had been getting food ready there when he'd last seen them, hopefully they were gone by the time he showed up. While he couldn't exactly cook Haku figured there would be something he could eat, even if it was just a snack. Earth had some interesting foods, he wouldn't mind finding a few of them onboard right about now.

Dragon Ball: Legacy (Mogtaki and Vena Sera)

Takeshi rolled his eyes at Shu, grimacing slightly afterwards. "You know I'm not super big on you eating bugs, yuck... And then that means no bugs for you. Unless you're going to eat T'charrl!" Even with their appetite eating something that big would make them bloated. Just for kicks he imagined Shu stuffed to the brim with their friend, the sight of his massively overextended belly making the older boy snicker. That would be kind of funny in a way, having to roll Shu around like an overinflated balloon because he couldn't move otherwise. Oh, and him flying like that, now there was a sight to see. Drawn out from his little daydream Takeshi glanced over at his brother then back to the oven, shrugging his shoulders with a smile. "I usually cut it open to see if it's still really red or not, that's the only way I know how. Choi tried explaining it to me once and... Well he kind of lost me pretty quick, I'm not some chef like he is." Shrugging his shoulders he moved across to the counter, hopping up and taking a seat. Raising his arms up over his head in a stretch he rubbed at one of his eyes wearily, looking to Shu once more. "Unless the meat was already bad you don't have to worry about getting food poisoning, I promise."

Vegeta suppressed an amused smile, rather enjoying himself. With no serious negative connotations and Viral reigning himself in he had all the opportunity now to get a laugh out of this. There was just something humorous about the situation, seeing Viral stumbling about uncertainly. Not that he was certain he'd be doing any better, goodness knows how difficult it was to go from bipedal to quadrupedal. "Just pointing it out, no reason to get snippy," he remarked, smiling as he watched the Beastman resort to all fours. It was probably less strenuous on his body too that way, putting that much weight on his hind legs, however strong couldn't be comfortable. Finally Vegeta allowed himself a short laugh, giving his friend an innocent smile as he held his hands up defensively. "Hey now, I never even said a word about doing such a thing. Though I do think you'd look rather good with a saddle. Shame I don't own any spurred boots." Ah, no doubt he was going to be smacked or some such later, but for the time being he wanted to enjoy himself. Besides he was still on that slight high from their discovery, so he was in a pretty good mood to begin with. "In all seriousness though, let's just make a round about the ship. We'll see who we come across and how well you can handle being around others."

Haku was hardly doing all of this out of the goodness of his heart. If saying no meant joining his shirt in the belly of T'charrl then he'd bring the alien whatever he wanted. Now that the Kaesstrian had been fed he was rather docile, for the moment anyways. Ever meek he was much too hesitant to do much of anything really, not wanting to overstep that delicate boundary that might set T'charrl off. Offering to fetch someone else to come to his aid that idea was turned down, and somberly the alien laid down with his back to the Saiyan. Haku sighed under his breath, really not sure what he was supposed to do now. Wander around the ship he supposed, it wasn't like anyone was keeping an eye on him. Coming here to try training had been a dumb idea to begin with, it had only caused him trouble. "Er... Well... Good luck with, this," he said, gesturing lazily to T'charrl. Someone else would find him, he didn't need to stick around. Giving one last passing glance he left the room again, shivering a bit in the cool air. Giving his arms a rubbing he glanced down both ends of the hall, deciding this time to go in the opposite direction. Unless someone came looking for him he'd just do his own thing, he supposed. No use in wasting his breath trying to join the others.

Dragon Ball: Legacy (Mogtaki and Vena Sera)

"Shu... What are you going to hunt on a ship? Bugs...?" Immediately realizing what he'd said Takeshi gave Shu a dirty look, not wanting his brother to reply to that. Of course he would eat a bug, the little guy was weird like that. Squirming a little bit in his spot he glanced through the glass pane of the stove, watching the food impatiently. Maybe they could just barely cook it, maybe just rare if most. Patience wasn't a virtue he had when his stomach was demanding food, no way was he going to wait on food. "And you won't die if you don't eat today. You'd have to go a LOT longer without it for that to happen, and Yumi would probably force feed you before it ever got remotely close to that." Smiling in slight amusement Takeshi reached over, ruffling his brother's hair before handing over a leftover orange for him. "I guess that's how it works, yeah. Though it's a little tough to see it from here," he remarked, leaning over and peering through the slightly tinted window. "Hm... The thing that really stinks is we can't smell it, so I have no idea how it's going to turn out."

Leaving the confines of the medical bay would be the true test of how much Viral was in control. It was one thing to maintain himself in a room with only one other person, it was high time to see if he could handle the others. There were a few in particular he could imagine there being some difficulty with, it was best to test them last then. Expecting Viral to move on all fours Vegeta watched silently instead as he got up on his hind legs, trying to walk as though nothing had changed. Understandably the Beastman was unsteady, though he did manage to make it to the door and outside. Before joining his friend the Saiyan moved the remainder of the meats into a shallow pan and into a freezer meant for medicines, which was empty right now. Washing his hands methodically at the sink he hurried outside, glancing at Viral curiously as he was leaned up against the wall. "Are you sure your physique is really best suited for that...?" he asked, referring to the manner which Viral was moving. "If you have to walk on all fours then walk on all fours, no use in straining yourself."

"Er... Well... That's good...?" Haku really was beside himself, what the heck could he even do? T'charrl was a totally different beast now, well outside of anything that he could probably do. If by some unfortunate happenstance the Kaesstrian went berserk like before he was done for, unless he could run awfully fast. Still pressed flush against the wall the Saiyan gradually eased himself off, frowning as he watched the alien for a moment. It was odd, he didn't seem to so much be in pain as he was struggling to control his power. Couldn't he just suppress it though? Saiyans could, and more experienced fighters could even stave off the Oozaru if need be. This one had said he was a Prince, hadn't he? Surely then he could handle his own power. Though considering the extent of his transformation maybe not. Shifting his weight on his feet Haku bit his lower lip, looking down at himself before at the door. "S-Should I go get someone...? You know... To help?" Like that smart Saiyan, Vegeta. He was supposed to be really bright, that one could figure what was going on more likely than not.

Dragon Ball: Legacy (Mogtaki and Vena Sera)

"Last time I just "put food in your mouth" you looked like you were going to pass out," Takeshi retorted, referring of course to the wasabi. "But hey, if you're willing to give me another shot then I won't mess it up!" Or he would try not to, him cooking this way was like Shu trying to fly a few days ago, it was iffy at best. The spices he used, he knew they were tasty and figured they would go well on steak, so that was a safe bet. Fruit was good with things so that shouldn't really mess anything up. His biggest concern in that case would be whether or not he burned it to a crisp. Hm, probably best to more or less stare at it while it cooked just to be safe. "Yeah, it'll make the food really hot. It cooks a lot quicker than the fire, and it won't be pink in some places and black in others too, which I guess is nice." Though cooking over fire usually gave the meats a nice yummy, smoky flavor that an oven wouldn't. "I don't know why, I figured I'd take a shot in the dark and ask," Takeshi added, shrugging his shoulders before smiling at Shu. "Maybe we should try learning how to cook at some point. You know, just so we don't have to rely on others for it."

Alright, so that theory proved correct then. Giving Viral meat really brought out his more feral side and he lost more control when faced with a potential meal, noted. Unless he started complaining about being hungry then Vegeta would hold off on feeding him further. With the gusto that the Beastman devoured his food you'd almost think he was starving or something, it must take a lot to change into this form. Things took a turn for the interesting when the Beastman decided to get up on his hind legs and growled at the Saiyan. For a moment Vegeta though he might have to try and restrain his friend, no easy feat considering the sheer size of him right now. In almost a comical fashion he proceeded to knock over the chair he had been sitting in, the surprise of the event looking to rouse him from his little moment. Biting back a small laugh Vegeta folded his hands behind his back, smiling faintly all the while. "Food makes it harder for you to resist your urges, so we'll keep that away from you for the moment. You also seem to be just the slightest bit awkward with your own body. No surprises there though, this is only your second time changing after all. Now... How confident are you about leaving this room? The medical bay is far too controlled a space I think, we have to really put this to the test."

Haku supposed having his shirt eaten was the least of his worries, he was going to be rid of it either way. Though standing here now in just trousers and boots before a massive alien he did feel fair vulnerable. He couldn't help but worry that T'charrl might want more, the problem being what more could the Saiyan give before he himself became the snack? Only after robbing him of his shirt, and partially his dignity was Haku left alone as the alien collapsed on his front dismally. He didn't seem very happy about what he had just done, he couldn't blame the alien. He'd probably be pretty upset too if he ate someone's shirt. There was the whole changing into this odd creature too, that probably played a part of it. "So uh... Feel better...?" he asked, shifting uneasily before rubbing at his neck awkwardly. "Er... Dumb question... Am I done feeding you at least?"

Dragon Ball: Legacy (Mogtaki and Vena Sera)

"Sweet and spicy it is then! That shouldn't be too hard." Fruit and... Well what was spicy? Cayenne was spicy, so was chili powder. Maybe a little bit of both mixed with some fruit? Yeah, that would go nicely on some of these steaks. And the fish... Maybe a bit of oranges and something hot... "There's nothing to this cooking stuff, I've done it once and I'm already a pro!" Takeshi grinned as he unwrapped several of the meats, grabbing a pan and some foil before preparing the dish for the foods. Not having any idea how much spice to put on each slice he shook a fair amount on each, setting the small containers aside afterwards. Last thing they would need was the fruit, he should probably slice that up and put it on top. In the drawer then he found a sharp knife, and in the cabinet below a cutting board. "Want anything else? I'm on fire right now, I can make anything we want." he mused, setting the sliced fruits on top of the seasoned meats. Now came the puzzling part, the oven. Hm... How high should he make the heat? "Three hundred and fifty... Sounds good to me!" he said with a smile, turning it up before placing the dishes inside. "Now how long do they usually cook for...?"

Viral was certainly struggling, but it wasn't a moot effort. He was retaining control and if they fought a bit more he could assert it even better. "I don't doubt you feel strange. I'd feel off too if my entire being just changed in a matter of moments," Vegeta retorted with a small smirk. Backing off slightly to give the Beastman some room he grabbed another steak, slowly searing it in the palm of his hand. "You're doing well though, much better than the last time we saw you like this. If you can improve in a week's time with minimal effort then mastering this should be an easy feat." Placing the steak then on the ground before his friend Vegeta looked down at his sticky hands, frowning as he looked around for a sink to use to wash. There wasn't much, but a small sanitation station would do the trick. Running his hands through the hot water he glanced over his shoulder when addressed, hefting his shoulders in a shrug. "You can apparently think straight if we're conversing, it's just difficult. As for whether that is control or not, yes, yes it is. You're resisting the urges this form brings forth, and in doing so you're mastering it. Try to suppress what you're feeling, that's the entire goal oft this, to make sure you remain in control."

With his back against the wall and two massive trunk like arms at either side Haku was pretty much stuck. This was hardly pleasant, in fact he was almost certain he was about to ruin his new pair of trousers if this kept up. That tongue was really unsettling, the way it swished about and tried to lick him. Much as he pressed against the wall to try and get away in reality he wasn't helping himself any. His eyes caught one of T'charrl's arms as he lifted it into the air, gasping audibly before squeezing his eyes shut, expecting the pain of a gash on his torso. Instead when all he heard was the tearing of fabric the Saiyan opened his eyes nervously, baffled as to what happened. It wasn't until he noticed the cool air on his torso that he thought to look down, astonished to find his shirt missing. Spotting then a strand of the fabric hanging out of T'charrl's mouth Haku stared like a deer in the headlights, sinking slowly to his backside against the wall. "Y-You just wanted m-my shirt...?" he asked, drooping his head with a sigh. "Unbelievable... Y-You could have just a-asked..."

Dragon Ball: Legacy (Mogtaki and Vena Sera)

Takeshi was pretty confident he could make something edible, it might not be especially good though. He'd seen Yumi cook plenty of times before, and Kai and Choi too, how hard could it really be? Taking to the refrigerator he was surprised to find it was pretty empty, save for a steak or two and some fish. Darn, that meant they had to take a lot out of the freezer and defrost it for later. Eh, not his problem right now though. "I hope you know you're putting a lot of trust in me for cooking on a stove," he replied, smirking as he placed out a few slabs of meats. Also from the refrigerator he took a few apples and in the cabinets a couple of spices. He knew they were yummy on their own, he had no idea what they might taste like combined. "But... I can probably make us something really good, probably..." A few small sirloins and a fish, maybe some kind of surf and turf. The fruit, hm... Maybe a glaze? Though they had the spices so why do that? Okay, this was a little more complicated than he'd given thought. "What do you want? Sweet meats or spicy meats with some fruit on the side?"

It was plenty evident Viral was slowly slipping out, they had to keep him back in. If speaking to him wasn't cutting it Vegeta could try something else, but until this didn't actually work he'd save that for later. Crouched in front of the Beastman he was pleased when Viral responded, however short it might have been. Glad to know he wasn't totally out of his mind the Saiyan stood back up, nodding in approval. "So you're definitely in more control than last time, that much is obvious. However... Can you calm yourself? I don't need you going all feral on me." The difference between Viral being able to handle himself now and not being able to would determine just how much work they had to do. Obviously he was improved from last time, and any progress was good, but they could always get more. "Are you able to actually control yourself? I know you're hungry right now but it's pertinent that we figure out what you can and can't do right now."

Haku in the meantime was having an absolute blast with T'charrl. His new form was pretty unnerving to be around and seeing him pounce on the fruit like that was kind of unsettling too. At least he was focused on his food, that was a relief. Until that is he caught wind of what was all over the young Saiyan. Smiling nervously he began to back off again, freezing up as he got close to the wall. Holding his hands up defensively he chuckled uneasily, not too sure what was going to happen. Seeing the tongue come out really sent him through the roof, and feeling his skin crawl Haku pressed up against the wall, craning his head away from the appendage. "H-Hey, get that thing away from me!" he stammered, closing his eyes and groaning inwardly. "I'm n-not food dammit!"

Dragon Ball: Legacy (Mogtaki and Vena Sera)

Now they were hopefully rid of distractions, they could finally eat their meal. What that would be they weren't sure yet, they had plenty of time to decide however. There definitely had to be some meat, Takeshi couldn't live off of fruits like Shu could without going nuts. Maybe they could mix and match though, come up with something that would make them both happy. "Spicy is... Well yeah, it would be like that wasabi paste," he admitted, smiling sheepishly. "But this stuff wouldn't be nearly as spicy, and there would be sweet stuff too, so it wouldn't be as bad. It would be yummy if I can do it right." Hm, like some sweet and spicy chicken over a bed of noodles, and a side of seared fruit to go with it. The only problem was while Takeshi could perfectly envision this meal he wasn't very aware of how to go about preparing it. Cooking over an open fire with something they had hunted was one thing, creating a proper meal was a little trickier than that. Maybe they could go find Kai after all and drag him here to cook for them. "You think we should get Kai to cook for us...? I mean, i could cook, but he's probably quicker at it than I am."

They had the food to sate Viral's new appetite, so hopefully he would be placated. Now that they had seen to that matter they should be able to begin a few simple tests. First things first, motor skills. Did the Beastman have use of his newly changed body or was he going to be intensely awkward? Vegeta had to find out, and after delivering another steak he was quick to ask about it. To his chagrin Viral didn't seem to acknowledge him, or did only in passing before resuming his meal. Now that was bothersome, and he'd seemed to be so aware just a moment ago. Frowning the Saiyan walked closer, squatting down and staring at Viral intently as he ate. "Hey, Viral, look at me. We need to run tests to figure this out, you can't just keep eating, even if you're hungry," he chided. "Finish that piece and move around some so I can watch. After that I've got one or two other tests in mind, and after that we'll see about changing you back." That would be the hardest part, Vegeta figured. Getting him into this state had been tricky enough, now how were they supposed to alleviate it?

Haku wasn't at all sure what he'd encounter when he returned. T'charrl had been scary enough when he had left, if the alien had changed even more then goodness knows what he was now. Since he had come all this way already there was no point in running off, he might as well see it through. Taking a moment outside to gather himself he opened up the door, hurrying inside with the food in hand. Once inside the room he summed up the courage to take a peek, instantly dropping the food at what he saw. T-That was T'charrl...? He looked different, he hadn't even been gone that long! Eyes wide the young Saiyan almost yelped out loud when the Kaesstrian pounced, causing him to run off to the side hurriedly. When it became apparent he wasn't the target Haku glanced back, watching nervously as the alien began to eat the food. Taking the momentary lapse to examine himself he looked down at his now soiled clothing, frowning at how it stuck to him and smelled awful. He had to borrow these upon arriving, now he probably had to borrow even more. Ugh... Never mind that, he desperately needed a shower too. "T-There... Happy now...? I'm n-not getting more..."

Dragon Ball: Legacy (Mogtaki and Vena Sera)

"Okay... Maybe hunting fruit is a bit of a stretch, but you get the idea. Any food you go looking for is kind of hunting, in a way. Eh... Then again you don't really hunt in a store..." Takeshi sort of went on for a short bit, mumbling to himself about what was and wasn't considered hunting. His dialogue ended up interrupted when Haku came into their path, really not expecting the kid to be wandering around. Nor did he expect to hear that the Saiyan was running errands for people, that definitely caught him for a second there. Watching as he disappeared inside the mess hall Takeshi blinked a few times, looking at Shu dumbfounded. "You know you could totally kick his ass in a fight... Right?" he asked, smirking as he patted his brother's hair. "And I guess they are done, huh? Means we get to eat then!" They waited until Haku came back out though, and he did so with quite the load of food. Well someone was certainly hungry, that should fill even him and Shu up. Now that they were alone again Takeshi brought Shu along inside, making a beeline for the kitchen. "Hm... What should we have first? Do you want fish, or steak... Ooooh, or maybe some chicken! Yeah, and if we can find some sweet and spicy dipping sauce that would be awesome!" Maybe there were noodles too, he knew how to slice up chicken and mix them with noodles. Maybe vegetables with that, that sounded yummy!

Witnessing Viral transform like this was incredibly intriguing. He seemed to be experiencing some sort of pain, which was understandable given the circumstances. Nothing he couldn't handle however, the Beastman was awfully resilient after all. With all the changes having already taken place seeing the snout spring forth followed by the elongation of the arms this was a very interesting moment indeed. "I won't lie, it's very exciting, it's my first time witnessing a complete transformation after all," Vegeta admitted, grinning. "With no negative connotations I can fully appreciate what's happening, and realize what geniuses the men who created you were. I hate to say it, but I'm rather happy you're changing right now." Hopefully Viral understood Vegeta wasn't taking joy in his pain, but rather the fact he was changing. For a scientist like him seeing such a process unfold was interesting enough, and the fact he'd been utterly in the dark about it prior only sweetened things. "I can imagine it is, but just hang in there. You're doing fine, we're nearly done it seems."

A rather smelly interruption graced their presence then, and Vegeta was pleasantly surprised to find Haku had returned to quickly. He certainly grabbed plenty of food, this should more than sate Viral's appetite. Taking the meats and placing them on a sterile surface he made it a point to close off the room, as a safety precaution. "Here we are, let's get you fed," he mused, taking up a steak and frying it with a little Ki before offering it over. Meticulously removing the nodes then Vegeta watched awestruck as the Beastman had a final, massive spike in stature, growing well over himself as a result. He was quite large now, and might even be intimidating if evidently he wasn't in control. Breathing a little easier Vegeta went back to the pile of steak, searing another before placing it before Viral. "Good, you can speak, that means we're in business," he remarked, nodding his head with a smile. "Now Viral, I need you to try and focus on what I'm saying. After you finish with that see how well you can move about, I want to know how good your motor control is right now."

Being a delivery boy might not be so bad were there actually something to put the food in. As if stinking of raw meat weren't bad enough now Haku had to contend with being terribly sticky as well. Eh, it could be worse, T'charrl could have lost control the moment he changed and mauled him. Always a bright side, albeit that wasn't really one the kid was seeing right now. He was much too focused on the disgusting smells and feeling that carrying food in his arms brought with it. Having delivered Viral's goods it was now time to give the Kaesstrian his as well, hopefully he didn't mind it being a little beefy.
