[ he huffs up -- determined! ...even if it's a worried determination. if master thinks that things here get extremely dangerous... what chance does he have? he can't even begin to dream about beating something that master and aniki find difficult. ]

...You want me to protect Aniki?
[ the words feel foreign. that's -- impossible, isn't it? at his level, that's not something he can do. it's all he wants -- it's all he's ever wanted, but -- ]
[Which is admittedly not the same thing, though it does boil down to something similar. Tenka's been...well, he's been through a lot here, and Sousei's concerned that he won't always be able to prevent him from doing something dumb.
[ ...impossible. actually, completely impossible. he's not strong enough for that -- he'd have to be stronger than tenka to protect him from something. ]
...I-- Am I the best person to ask that of, do you think, Master...?
[Is Soramaru the best person to ask? Honestly. Who knows Tenka better than him? And it's not the physical that worries Sousei. Tenka's as strong as ever--stronger, really.
[For what it's worth... Sousei has complete confidence in Soramaru's ability to kick Tenka out of funks and bad moods and making sure he doesn't do anything stupid.]
But if you are concerned, then work on improving. [getting stronger, getting better at those things...isn't that the way to best make sure you can handle it?]

Previous events have proven that much.]
And yes, if necessary, protect him.
