[ he's been given stitches and bandaged, and... been given some pretty hefty painkillers. they let him walk, though, and he hobbles over to sousei once done with. ]
[ ...he doesn't want to let sousei down, but either way... he's going to, isn't he? either he shows the weakness that he'd been training day in and day out to chase away, or he lies. --he doesn't think sousei would be very pleased with either of them.
but -- he's tired and it's hard to think through the painkillers so he just glances downwards. ]
[Soramaru's obsessed with appearing strong, but Sousei doesn't really expect people who got clawed open by a tiger to be able to walk without any issues.........]
Very well then. You may walk, and I will support you as necessary. If you manage to tear your stitches and we have to return here, I will suspend your training for even longer.
[Honestly, these Kumous and their insistence that if they're not diving headfirst into danger, they're useless......]
But if you do not properly recover, you will be useless the next time a situation like this happens. Pushing yourself too far with a bad injury is just foolishness.

...Thank you, Master.
no subject
There is nothing to thank me for.
[It's his duty to look after his student, though he's also not...going to clarify that any further.]
Now tell me honestly: are you capable of walking home on your own?

[ something doesn't add up there, and it makes him fret and lean forward. ]
What do you mean 'even longer'?!
no subject
[aka no training.
sorry soramaru]

Not until you've recovered to the point where you won't cause yourself additional harm.
no subject
But---...
no subject
That is what I've decided.
[and we all know how hard-headed he can be.... this is for your own good, Soramaru!!]

[ he lightly brushes his hand against his side, casting his gaze downwards. ]
...Just supposed to sit around and do nothing? You said this place is dangerous. ...You were right, and I got hurt because I wasn't strong enough.

[how's that hypocrisy tasting today sousei]

[Those are the obvious ones, but then perhaps less obviously coming from Sousei--]
Talk to people. There are people here who have insight on our surroundings that we lack.

[A snort, vague as it is.]
I would not suggest that anyone should be more like Tenka if it was the last possible thing I could do.
[harsh...]
no subject
Ow-- Don't make me laugh, right now...
no subject
(he's a little pleased, even if he just arches an eyebrow in response and continues on walking.)]
I was simply telling the truth.
no subject
He's pretty bad, isn't he?
no subject
[IMMEDIATELY.
Sousei is not fond of Tenka EVER clearly.]
no subject
no subject
Yes, he has always been that way, even as a child.
[tenka's gross.]
