"Well yes it was my decision, but they needed the help too. There's a lot of work to be done, it only felt right to try and help them," June explained thoughtfully before shrugging her shoulders. Then, in somewhat surprise to Viral's comment she gave him a silent glance before smiling sadly, wondering just how bad Aito had gotten to bring that out. Her husband cared immensely, she didn't doubt that, but his methods could be... Strange, at times. It was almost like he was trying to help someone and run little tests at the same time, as if he were curious about something. Fine for him but his clients clearly didn't appreciate it too much, and he was always so relaxed about it too. "If that's the case then maybe I can think of something...? Like..." June began, pausing in her tracks as she tapped her finger on her chin, "I know some of the people need food, but they don't have time to go out and get it. If you'd like we could go try and hunt together, I think it'd be a good experience for us! I'll admit though, I've never really done it before though..." Aito and Vegeta probably knew how but had never thought to teach her, or she'd never thought to ask. When you were living a comfortable life inside Capsule Corporation there wasn't much need for skills like that, survival was the furthest thing from your mind then.

Today had been going well so far, just from Shu's enthusiasm and excitement alone. It had been much too long since he had been this elated over anything, and it was something Yumi was going to do everything she could to preserve. They should just spend today having fun and relaxing, not worrying about any problems they might have or what anyone else might have. All the talk of medicine and illness got you down after a while, Viral was proof enough of that much. Maybe they should go find him and see if he'd like to spend time with them too? Upon returning to T'charrl she smiled and asked how he'd enjoyed the meal, pleased to find he'd eaten his fill. Everyone should be all fed and rested now, maybe they could decide on what to do as a group for the remainder of the day. "Sorry to hear that, but it's got to be nice to be able to eat again all the same," Yumi commented as she examined the leftovers briefly, wondering if they should just leave them here to be eaten, "Better than the pouches of mush they were feeding you at the hospital right?"

So both Shu and T'charrl were in decent moods now, that was good. Always nice when everyone was actually cheerful and getting along with each other, made the day a hell of a lot more enjoyable. That brought up a bit of a question though as far as the rest of their friends were concerned and whether everyone really was in a good mood. Viral still had it awfully crappy didn't he? Like Yumi he wondered if they should go and find the guy then, though he was skeptical if he'd want to spend time with them at all. "Hey, uh... Before we do anything do you think we should go find Viral?" Takeshi asked as he looked between his friends, smiling slightly and itching at his nose before shrugging, "You know... The guy's probably bored sitting around all day and getting looked at, we could bring him along to do stuff."

"That's... Actually a good idea, I'm surprised you thought of it Takeshi!" Yumi joked before nodding her head and clasping her hands together, "If we find something fun to do then we can convince him to come along for the day, I'm sure he'll be happy to be out!" There was the small matter of finding him though, which she hadn't a clue where her friend had been taken to today. Considering the others were out here too, or in T'charrl's case just out of the hospital she doubted any of them knew either. She could always try... Sniffing him out, though in a place full of alien smells that wouldn't be terribly easy either. "Does anyone have any ideas how to find him? I'm stumped."

"What do you mean? This is exactly what I want to be doing, there is nothing else," June answered back as they walked, "Like I said, I haven't had a chance to see you and I wanted to change that, that's why I'm here. I want to spend time with you Viral." She supposed it wasn't fair to blame him for not understanding a mother's desire to see her children, he hadn't exactly grown up with that. Vegeta hadn't either really yet he'd been more surrounded by loving figures it seems, whereas Viral was left on his own, no small wonder he didn't open up like she'd hope. "You're not hungry then? Well I'm not going to eat if you won't, that would be rude. I'm not that hungry anyways, it can wait until later," June responded with a smile as she changed her path, circling instead around the house and out towards the front of it. There had to be something that Viral would like to do, anything really. They had a whole alien world to explore and could do whatever they wanted, within reason, surely there was something that came to mind. "Is there anything else you want to do? We have the whole city to look at, or the forests, or there's a massive lake we could go visit and go for a swim. I'm here to do what you want to do."

Shu definitely seemed to be in better spirits now that he'd had some fun, she hadn't seen him so excited in weeks. Just how long had it been since he'd been allowed to play like this? It wouldn't make him feel better entirely yet Yumi was confident it was helping, anyone could see as much that it was. All the more reason to keep playing then if they could, it would only make Shu happier and happier! "That's right, all that yummy fruit! And don't worry, we're going to go see him now!" She hadn't meant to leave T'charrl so quickly but she couldn't refuse Shu either, hopefully their friend would forgive them for running off like that. Hurrying back to where T'charrl was waiting she smiled apologetically as they entered the area, bowing to him with her hands on her thighs as she made her apology known. "Sorry about running off, I shouldn't have done that to you! But we're here now, no more running around for now," Yumi explained as she eased herself into a sitting position, smiling as she rubbed her hands together, "How's the fruit, do you like it? It's probably very different from what you're used to right?"

It had been a long time since Shu had seemed this happy and Takeshi was grateful for as much. There was a part of him too though that couldn't help but feel inadequate at the fact he hadn't gotten is brother to this point, that it took Yumi to come along and do something to make it happen. Even after he'd been told by Krom it was up to him to help he'd still screwed it up. Sighing under his breath he put on a smile when Shu looked his way, rolling his eyes at the mention of a bounty of fruit. "The King's going to have to try harder than that, I'm not going to just hand over a pile of fruit willingly," he joked as he placed his hands in his pockets, starting to follow the others back to T'charrl, "But... Maybe I'll see if I can get my brother something tasty for a snack later, they must have some good stuff here." Back on Earth they had candied fruit, almost any you could think of covered in some sugary stuff almost like a shell. He'd only ever had it once but it sure was tasty, and Shu would probably like it a lot if he tried it. Or even T'charrl could try it he figured, seeing his friend at the tail end of his meal now. Yeah, he'd have to hit town later and see what he could find, hopefully something good.

June hadn't any real idea why Viral was the way he was, what the root of his issue was. Aito seemed to know yet in his typical fashion danced around the issue, insisting as always the client discern it for themselves. Whether that was the right way to go about it or not wasn't her say, but she could determine if her son was becoming too upset to continue and she would at every chance. He may be sour about it now but she hoped once he had a chance to settle down he'd appreciate it. Or perhaps not. "I'm sure that's not what you'd like to do, doesn't sound like a good time to me either," June said as she shook her head, pausing to give Viral a sad smile. "It's not a holiday though, I've been busy helping the people in this city. I just figured I'd take time off to come and see my so- Um... To see you, Viral." He really wasn't a fan of the whole 'son' idea, she'd have to be especially mindful not to use that word around him then. Difficult when it was true though, even if he hadn't been born of conventional means. She would irrevocably love him even if he denounced her with everything he had, it was what a parent did, it just would be a little nice for him to reciprocate that love now and again. "Oh I know! Before we go out can I make you some lunch? Are you feeling hungry yet?" she asked thoughtfully, "I'd like to sit and talk for a little while too, we haven't gotten to do very much of that yet. If you'd like."

Takeshi was feeling smug as he sped ahead of the others, quickly becoming over-confident that he was getting good at this. Seriously, how hard could it be if he was able to do this already? By the end of the day he'd be able to do tricks too, he was certain of that. Grinning at the thought of doing such a thing he'd barely noticed Shu barrel down on him, grasping on and forcing the older boy to come to a standstill as he clung to a branch for dear life. Face flushing when his sibling told him he was better he managed a smile, snorting before watching him as he dropped to the forest floor. "Come on buddy, I can easily beat you at this stuff with some practice, I was doing really well already," Takeshi retorted as he followed suit, dropping from his spot and using a little bit of Ki to soften his landing. Dusting woodchips and dirt off of himself he glanced up at Yumi for a second before itching his nose, returning his glance to Shu with a grin, "Maybe you're faster than me on the ground, but I can keep up with you in the trees. And in the air...? I think I got you beat there too."

"Because you've been doing it for years, that's a little bit of a head start don't you think?" Yumi retorted from above, dropping into the lowest limb and dangling upside down with her legs wrapped around the branch. Smiling at Takeshi's annoyed look she stuck her tongue out playfully before releasing and dropping down beside the boys. "You did pretty good, but don't get ahead of yourself. Our King of the Trees is right here," she continued as she draped an arm around Shu's shoulders, pointing to him proudly, "And if you're not careful the king might have you pay for your crimes against His Majesty. Make you get him all the fruit he can eat!" Now there was a funny image, Shu as a king. She couldn't help but imagine him in an elegant gown, a crown on his head perched atop an oversized throne. Or maybe a pile of fruit would be more fitting, which only made it even funnier. Suppressing a giggle she released her hold on Shu and placed her hands on her hips and smirked, ready to get on with their day. "We should go back and get T'charrl, see what he feels like doing today! He just got out of the hospital after all, only fair he gets to decide don't you think?"

Dragon Ball: Legacy (Mogtaki and Vena Sera)

June felt it necessary to interrupt this and take Viral away for his own well-being. Even if what Aito was saying might be true it wasn't helping their son any, he needed to get away from Aito and Vegeta for a while. Maybe do something that wasn't having to do with his condition, then he could come back to it when he'd calmed down a little. A sad smile crossed her face when Viral refused her calling him her son, though did nothing to correct him or chastise him. He was in a bad place right now, she knew that, and even then she wasn't sure he'd embrace it completely once healthy. She'd be there for him though regardless, she hoped he knew that much. "They aren't useless, they're just being a little dense is all," June said gently, looking between Vegeta and Aito with a stern glance, "And they're going to think about this before trying again, aren't they?"

"Yes mother, sorry..." Vegeta mumbled in embarrassment, averting his gaze as he wrung his hands together uncomfortably. Being chastised by your mother was always embarrassing, the fact they were almost the same age now made it even more so.

"Of course June, we'll take another look at our approach, don't you worry," Aito said with a smile, waving a hand as though it were no large issue, "You have my word that things will run more smoothly next time Viral, I swear it."

"Hm... Well it had better, you're supposed to help him, not upset him," June shot back as she narrowed her gaze, staring at her husband for a moment before turning her attention back to Viral. Smiling kindly at him she gave his back a gentle rub before folding her hands behind her back and starting towards the front of the house, sending a glance back over her shoulder to be sure Viral was coming along. "Whatever we do is your decision Viral, I'm just coming along to provide some company. Is there anything you've been wanting to do since you got here? Anything at all?" Provided it wasn't anything destructive she'd gladly support Viral, whatever he may want to do.

"He is yeah, I don't get why he does it. Besides he's got to know you could beat him at this right?" Takeshi was new to this just as she was, the notion of either of them keeping up with Shu was a bit absurd for now. The fact they were even able to follow along now was impressive enough, but then they were taking their time and each swing was intentional; someday they might be able to swing along like they flew, without thought or having to be careful each pass. While she tried keeping pace with Shu she found herself lagging behind as he sped up, making no effort to chase as she continued at the same speed. This really was quite a lot of fun, she hadn't done anything like this since she'd tried her hand at gymnastics years and years ago. It would be a shame once they left Uuonoe and couldn't continue, she'd love to be able to do this whenever she felt like this, as would Shu no doubt.

"Come on you guys, speed up will ya? You're supposed to be good at this Shu!" Takeshi teased, laughing as he continued to try and speed along. His movements were anything but graceful and he was flailing now and again to grab hold of a branch. This was easier than it was made out to be, he could practically do this in his sleep! Grinning as he moved along with ease he glanced back when he heard a branch behind him flex, eyebrows shooting up seeing Shu barreling down on him. Just as he had grabbed his next branch the little guy jumped onto him and latched on, making Takeshi grab onto the branch for dear life as they swung awkwardly to and fro. "S-Shu, what the hell?! You trying to knock me off?!" he said in shock, glancing back as he tried keeping his grip, "What was that for anyways?"

Dragon Ball: Legacy (Mogtaki and Vena Sera)

"Whoever said I failed at creating you? I know I had said you were my one success before, but never a failure," Aito said as he tapped his chin, seeming to think it over for a moment, "Mmm... Nope, I never called you a failure. That's your assessment, not mine." Would Viral see that he was the only one doubting himself, not the other way around? Letting out a sigh when the Beastman continued on he shook his head, placing a hand on the back of his neck as he closed his eyes for a moment. "The only mistake I made was not having eggs with my breakfast today, other than that there's nothing to speak of. You are not a mistake and there is no regret in your creation, only pride and aspirations. And you've not died Viral, and you won't, you're much too capable to fall in battle, I'm certain of that." Shame, perhaps he'd been a little too optimistic about how this might work, though he supposed it was a lot to do all at once. Hoping to continue on with their session Aito paled slightly when June showed up, a meek smile crossing his lips as he waved at her. Yep, definitely angry, perhaps he should have been a bit more delicate.

Whatever Aito was attempting to do was clearly not working, June could see as much just from first glance. Vegeta seemed to simply be along for the ride yet she was equally annoyed with him, finding the two who were trusted with Viral's health to be stressing him out. Marching over to where her son was sat she knelt down and promptly hugged him, smiling as he became confused over the gesture. "It's a hug Viral, mothers do that for their children when they're uspet," June joked lightly before taking one of his paws in her hands, helping him to his feet, "And while these two decide how they're going to actually help you, how about we spend the day together? I've barely seen you since we got back. There's so much I'd like to do and talk about, and it's a beautiful day. How about we go for a walk? Unless there's something you'd like to do instead?"

"Ack... I know squirt I know, sheesh..." Takeshi winced, slowly easing himself up as he rubbed at his rear gingerly. Not broken but it sure felt like it, never mind the fact he made a total fool of himself just now. Standing up on the branch he braced himself against the trunk, taking a moment to gather his wits before smiling at the pair above him. "Won't happen again, just you watch. This stuff is easy and pretty soon I'll be doing better than you Shu!" Rubbing his hands together he looked around for a suitable branch to get moving on again, finding one in a not so distant tree just beside where his brother and Yumi were sat. Crouching down on the branch he sized it up before jumping and grabbing hold, grinning as he swung along and to the next tree with ease, this time being mindful enough to get a grip on a bigger branch. "Come on slowpokes, keep up!"

Well it was certainly nice Shu and Takeshi were having fun, even if the latter was missing the point. Smiling exasperatedly as Takeshi swung ahead of them Yumi let out a sigh, turning her head to the younger boy next. "Why does he have to turn everything into a competition? Does he compete to see which one of you can finish going to the bathroom first?" she asked jokingly, rolling her eyes before getting to her feet, "Either way we don't want him getting a big head do we? Come on Shu, let's show him how it's done!" Or Shu would show him, she was still getting the hang of it really. Bouncing on the branch a few times she winked at Shu before jumping off, lunging ahead for a branch and swinging herself around on it, laughing as she soared through the air and to the next tree in line. Jeez this was fun!

"What, can't pull moisture from the air? Any half decent Water Bender can manage that," Katsu shot back, sticking his tongue out childishly even if Siku couldn't see him. Tch, maybe he would learn them now just to spite her, wouldn't that be fun? He'd be better than she was and then he could rub it in her face, that alone made it worth putting in the effort. Seriously though could Siku just come off of her high horse for one moment and learn to take a joke? It's not like he was being lecherous and grabbing her or anything, he'd made a comment in jest and got a sword to the neck as a result, talk about overreacting. Maybe he'd just be better off talking with Asha from hereon out, worst she could do was blow some wind and ruffle his hair.

Gung-Li was a beautiful place to live, Katsu surmised as much just from his first glance alone. Despite being a resident of Republic City for many years now he vastly preferred rural spaces like this, where everyone knew one another and got on well. It was reminiscent of his own home actually, a thought which gave the Avatar a slight pang in his chest at considering. Someday he would have to return home, even if unannounced, just to see how his parents were doing; would they be happy to see him? Angry? Disappointed? It would be a very uneasy meeting to be sure and there would be dozens of questions to be answered, yet he felt he needed that peace of mind at some point. For now though this was good enough to act as a stand-in, however temporary it might be. After being in the city for so long he'd forgotten how warm a small town was, and Katsu almost wanted to suggest they spend the night, leave in the morning instead. Or maybe even tomorrow night, just to have some more time here.

"Sure thing, I could use a good meal right about now," Katsu said with a grin, glancing down as Koinu poked his head up through the neck of his shirt, "So can my little buddy, we'll get you a big steak! Siku's treat!" Heh, if it was for him she'd sooner skewer him with that dao than feed him, but surely she wasn't going to refuse his pet? Smirking smugly at the Water Bender he followed along as they descended into the town, being taken in by the sights and sounds of a bustling little village; vendors peddling their wares in the final moments of business, families running to and fro to get home or to fetch dinner, children enjoying the weaning sunlight. He'd love to be able to just live like this again, not have to worry about any Avatar crap or any of that nonsense. Maybe later he'd sneak off just to walk around a little, enjoy himself some.

"There is nothing around here! Even my home town had some stuff worth seeing," Katsu voiced aloud, unknowingly speaking to Siku's woes as they wandered about. Not a single inn yet, and no large charter ships like those in Republic City for transit. At best they could probably get a fisherman to take them across, though that was asking an awful lot for such a small vessel. If they could just get lucky enough and find a decent craft then they could somehow pay for it, yet so far there was no obvious signs of anything they could use. Sighing to himself he wondered it they should consider traveling further inland, maybe they could find a larger town and go from there.

That might be a decent plan, but it would have to wait. A distressing sound grabbed the group's attention just then, the sound of a child crying, and it simply could not be ignored. Were it an adult or even someone their age he might turn a blind eye, but Katsu didn't have it in him to ignore some kid. Frowning uncertainly he started walking towards the source of the crying, taking cautious glances down each street they passed as if paranoid something more might be going on. "Hey kid...? What's wrong, why you crying?"

Dragon Ball: Legacy (Mogtaki and Vena Sera)

"Well perhaps I'm not as acquainted with your style as I should be then, so take my words as merely suggestions. Not every fighting style is perfect or absolute, you shouldn't be wholly dejected because I've found a counter to yours, just as I know the weaknesses to my own. Limitations do not make something obsolete, it's only natural," Aito explained patiently, not getting riled despite Viral's clearly emotional stance. Getting to his feet he let a brief silence pass over the group before posing a question to Viral, one about how he viewed himself as a warrior; calling himself crap and listing shortcomings was more or less expected to be the reply. "You fought when you were physically weak and even then, fighting only served to make it worse. The fact you fought at all is impressive, never mind the outcome of the fight. You're correct on both accounts though, I opened myself up for that attack. I'm certain however you could land strikes on me regardless, I wished to see how strong your strikes were. As for a real battle I can't say either way, perhaps you would lose or perhaps you would win. You're healthier now and you could surprise yourself if it came to a fight."

This was where Viral and Vegeta had been staying right? What a quaint little house, it was the very sort that June would have loved for herself and her family had they not lived in Capsule Corporation. Maybe once they finally got a chance to return home they could look into a small home, perhaps just as a getaway whenever business became too much or they just wanted a break from it all. Smiling thoughtfully she opened the front door and stepped inside, a bit puzzled to find no one there. "Hello? Boys...?" she called, not hearing any response even as she started roaming about. It wasn't until she heard Aito's voice outside that she finally found them, and seeing Viral looking very upset on the ground was hardly a welcoming sight. Whatever her husband and son were up to it clearly wasn't helping anything, they were only making matters worse. "Aito! Vegeta!" she shouted, frowning as she stormed over to the group and stopped at Viral's side, kneeling down and placing her arms around him in a hug. "Whatever you three are doing here you're done, he can spend the afternoon with me now."

"Oh they can be, some are really beautiful though! Especially in the spring and summer, a lot of them will have flowers and bright colors and everyone dresses in these brilliant costumes, you'll love it." It really did seem like the sort of thing Shu would love, it was fun and carefree and he'd get to see all sorts of new things. This was provided they got back to Earth any time soon, and goodness knows what time it would be when they finally did get back. Trying to be a little showy with her movements she attempted to spin herself on one go, narrowly missing the branch as a result but somehow holding on. Smiling sheepishly when she realized Shu was watching that she nodded at his advice. "Okay, no fancy tricks, I'll be good!" Yumi laughed before propelling herself forward again, catching up to where the younger boy was and stopping. Hoisting herself up onto her branch she sat down across it and let her legs hang, waiting for Takeshi to catch up to them patiently. "Come on Takeshi, you've got this, let's go!"

Jeez, now there was a pep talk, don't fall and get hurt. It wasn't like he was getting all crazy and trying to swing around in circles as Yumi was, he was taking it fairly slow and being careful about where he grabbed the branch. "I'm going buddy, I'm going! Hold your pants will ya?" Having to stop temporarily as he reached a tree with too many limbs in his way he released his grip and landed on a lower branch, surveying it for a new place to start from. There was one just above him and out to the left, seemed easy enough to do. Smiling confidently he jumped up and grabbed a hold of it, gasping as the limb flexed under his weight but didn't quite break. In a slight panic he went ahead and swung, barely making it to the next tree and grabbing the branch... This one did snap. With the limb in his hands Takeshi fell little over two meters and landed square on his rear on the branch, wincing audibly as he seemed to tense up and go rigid, tears in the corners of his eyes as he scrunched his legs together and dropped the branch to the floor. "Ooooow... ow ow ow... I think I broke my ass..."

Dragon Ball: Legacy (Mogtaki and Vena Sera)

Letting out an short sigh, Aito hung his head for a moment before addressing Viral with a quizzical look. "You say you don't care yet wish to be stronger. You want to fight again but don't care about your well being, yet you need to be healthy to fight. And I've never once said you're a poor fighter, only that your form is off right now. You're being too reckless, and you know as well as I do what fighting like that can do." Was he really doubting himself this much? Over a small sparring session? He had struck hard when he did connect and he'd connect even more if he was patient with his attacks, why couldn't he understand as much? Itching at his nose thoughtfully the doctor then got back to his feet, seeming to inspect Viral for a moment before smiling slightly. "Tell me... Do you think you're a crap warrior? And if you do then tell me why."

"Yeah, Earth day. It's kind of hard to list all the holidays but that's a few of them, and people really like to celebrate. It's fun, there's parties and gifts and all sorts of things," Yumi explained, seeming to reminisce as she became starry-eyed. "They have huge parades on some days, which means a lot of people dressed up playing music and floats with brilliant designs and all sorts of amazing things. We'll have to take you to one when we get home." It had been ages since she'd enjoyed one of their cities many festivals, nevermind a near global holiday like Earth Day. The last two years had more or less been completely engrossed by training and then their adventures, leaving little time for old hobbies. Not the worst thing however, now she had time to develop new hobbies like swinging in trees. Beaming at Shu as he began moving she paid extra attention to what he was doing, dropping down to hang on the branch before swinging her entire body. After a few good swings she released herself and shot forward, laughing excitedly as she grabbed a nearby branch and continued swinging, using the momentum to keep her in motion. "This is amazing Shu! You do this all the time?" Yumi shouted, giggling as she spun herself in mid-air, nearly missing her branch as a result.

Takeshi felt a bit bad leaving T'charrl there on his own, but he had promised Shu he'd swing with him. He'd tried to leave on a good note though and compliment T'charrl, though he wasn't completely sure if that had worked or not. Hopefully the guy wouldn't be too upset, he'd like to come back afterwards and chat a little more if he could. Up in the tree with Shu and Yumi now he waited for his brother to make the first move, watching as both of them went off without much problem, swinging along like it was natural; for Shu swinging in trees was natural, it was surprising to see Yumi doing a good job though. "Right, here I come guys!" Takeshi shouted, grinning as he tried to jump to the first branch, figuring he'd swing from there. After grabbing hold he swung his legs and went sailing to the next tree, narrowly missing the limb as he grabbed hold and swung along. It was awkward trying to grab at the branches and he was turning a bit to the side each swing, but he was managing to move along albeit not as quickly as the others. Both Shu and Yumi were having a blast with it, and he couldn't exactly say he was disliking it himself.

Dragon Ball: Legacy (Mogtaki and Vena Sera)

Something was amiss here, otherwise Viral would not have heightened levels of aggression. His genes should have been repaired so it couldn't be that, suggesting it was more of a mental problem than a physical one. Finding it just as easy to take a hit and be done with it he left himself wide open for a strike and was floored as a result, his lip split from the strike. The power was there, as was his endurance and speed, certainly not a physical problem. Calling for a brief reprieve he watched the Beastman storm off by himself and take a seat, very strange that he was insistent on being alone too. Wiping a bit of blood away with his thumb the doctor got to his feet and went to join Viral, smiling slightly as he placed a hand on his hip. "Good, now that we're seated maybe we can talk. How does your body feel after that, are you tired at all?" Ease their way into the conversation he supposed, asking outright if he was mentally sound was only going to spark more anger no doubt.

"Well... We celebrated one of your birthdays back on Earth, but that was only one. I think we still owe you... Fourteen more?" Was that how old Shu was? Yumi was abashed to admit she didn't remember her friend's actual age, and perhaps no one here really knew. He seemed like he was a young teenager physically yet acted younger, and without knowing from his parents it was almost impossible to say one way or another. Come to think of it she didn't wholly remember Takeshi's age either, only that he was the older of the two. "Yeah, holidays are fun! They're special days when you celebrate something big happening, but you don't get presents on all of them," Yumi explained as she listed off a few on her hand, "There's New Years where you celebrate the start of the new year. There's Earth Day where you celebrate the planet and you go out and do good things for it, stuff like that." She knew there were all sorts of special days around the world, it would be impossible for her to list every single one though. Thinking about it for a second she figured she'd gotten her point across enough, not that Shu appeared to care a whole lot either way. Watching as he darted up a tree Yumi grinned in amusement, getting to her feet before scurrying up after him and grabbing onto an adjacent branch easily enough. "Let's do it! Go ahead and teach me Shu, I'm watching."

There went Shu and Yumi, which meant Takeshi supposed he should get moving soon too. He'd only just started talking to T'charrl though so he hoped his friend wouldn't be too sore about his leaving. "Well you're doing a good job buddy, I mean it. Compared to before you're speaking perfectly, you know? And you're only gonna get better," the Saiyan said with a smile, glancing up as he watched the others getting ready to move, turning his attention back to the Kaesstrian. "I've been around food all my life too but I can't cook. I've been around cars and homes too, but I can't drive or build a home, you know? Just because you're around something doesn't mean you know how to do it," Takeshi pointed out, pushing himself to his feet and dusting some dirt off of himself, "Well you keep working like you have been and you'll be one of the smartest guys here, that's for sure. I really think you could get it all down." They would have to continue this conversation though, he'd promised Shu he'd give swinging in trees another go and had no plans on going back on that. "Be back in a bit, plenty of food left so take whatever you want," he added with a smile, waving before turning and flying up to where Shu was perched, squatting down beside him and giving a thumbs up.
