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.

[ . . . . okay in all honesty, Tenka got the sauces for Sousei and a good portion of this food is for Sousei. So he doesn't stop him. Slather on all the sauce you want, partner, this is Tenka's small kindness.]

Right, I get that-

[But it's still hard for him to hear. Which he supposes is similar to what Sousei feels when Tenka talks about Shirasu so familiarly sometimes.]

.... thanks.

[deontology]

[SAUCE EVERYWHERE-- okay no just dumped on top of some of the nuggets because he doesn't like them so this can only be an improvement.

... Yeah. He has an idea of what Tenka's thanking him for, and that just gets a pause out of Sousei, before he shakes his head.]

You shouldn't thank me for this. [Nobody should thank him for letting their parents' murderer go free without a word or action--even if Tenka's just thanking him for keeping him informed, Sousei doesn't want it.]

It doesn't matter now. [They probably won't cross paths again, after that confrontation.]

[Sousei's saucy life choices.

Still though Tenka just sighs as he rubs the back of his neck.]

I'm thanking you for the fact that you put aside what you wanted to do for the sake of keeping a promise.

[He never doubted Sousei's word - but admittedly the promise has gotten even more restricting since when he agreed to it.]

[deontology]

[Sousei considers that for a long moment, closing the sauce and setting it aside. He glances down at the food for a moment, and then he leaves it be, looking at Tenka instead and shaking his head.]

... I do not break my promises. [At this point, it's just a statement of fact. There's no malice behind it, no implications. It's only about Sousei, and Sousei doesn't renege on things people ask him to do.

Even when it's as hard as this.]

You do not have to thank me for that, either.
