Is this how it works? Ha! Got it!

Hey, this is the equivalent of getting in touch with the mighty Kumou Tenka - yours truly - if I'm otherwise busy. Tell me what you need and I'll get back to you as soon as possible! Talk to you soon.

[ . . . . maybe he should've expected this. Though it does surprise him regardless.

Either way, his returning text is quick and self-assured:]

Of course I am. Who do you think you're talking to?

[ He's been wondering for some time, now. But the last thing he honestly wants to do is bring up Tenka's old injury. ]

I doubt Abe would ask for himself.

You can read Sousei well for someone that hates hi|

Isn't that something that you should as|

Why did you have to ask me|

Why did you have to leav|

[Tenka's grateful for text, not for the first time.

He's never wanted to lie to Shirasu before and it's clear as he flounders with this. There are so many ways he could just lightly deflect this - just avoid saying it but at the same time giving Shirasu more room to come in and ask more questions like he obviously wants to.

Tenka is so used to letting him.

But he backspaces all of those messages regardless.]

I live with him but I'm not a mindreader.

Sousei's been researching all sorts of stuff since we got here. Just ask him about it.

[ . . . . at least it's still not technically lying.]

text;

[allfortheclan]

He actually told me I should ask you.

[ Strange how that works. ]

text; 10 minutes later

[Of course Sousei did because Sousei can't make this easy and be his weird catty self that tries to close out Shirasu from their lives--

. . .

It takes Tenka a long time to type 4 words:]

Nothing's changed. Don't worry.

[allfortheclan]

[ There's no reason to think Tenka might not be telling the truth -- other than the man's tendency to brush off concerns for his well-being. Shirasu decides to take him at his word, then. ]

Do you have enough medicine?

text;

[sunshrouded]

Ah.

That's one thing that's changed. I'm taking different medicine now, from CERES. It works better.

[aka keeps him from losing his mind]

text;

[allfortheclan]

That's good to hear.

If you're feeling up to it, would you like to spar some time?

[ It'd be a way to check up on your health somewhat, too. ]

text;

[sunshrouded]

do you want to get beat up by me that badly?!

text;

[allfortheclan]

I'd like to see you try.

text;

[sunshrouded]

promise I'll do a lot better than try

text;

[allfortheclan]

I guess we shall see.
