[As if he wasn't crying at all, but Sousei knows him better than that. But then, there's no shame in tears. That is something they both believe, something they were both taught by Tenka's parents. Even if Sousei struggles to emulate it, even if Tenka tries so hard to show only a smiling face, they both learned and believed--there is no shame in feeling emotions like a human being.

He knows, but he does not bring it up, shifting his gaze instead from the ceiling (unfamiliar still, even after a few months) to Tenka's face (familiar, even after ten years).

Sousei's starting to think it won't be so easy as that. He's starting to realize that they're going to be in a great deal of trouble when it comes to getting home. This fiasco....is only the beginning of things going wrong. But this isn't the time or place for half-baked, paranoid theories.

Instead, he arches an eyebrow at Tenka, because it is still a ridiculous hour, and Tenka did still wake him up.]

Lie down, if you insist on taking up room.

[He knows Tenka's feelings now on this--and he accepts them. Tenka isn't going anywhere. Finally, finally, he can believe it...and it's a relief indeed.]

We have plenty to do before that, but it will be easier now that these problems have been resolved. [His deafness, Tenka's incorporeal status........ maybe the ghosts in general??

... Have they been resolved? He can hear again, but--]

Are you alright now? [That's...a question that covers a lot of ground, isn't it...]
