[ . . . . what does it say about their relationship now that Tenka understands exactly who Sousei means by 'him'? He's quiet for a moment, because not too long ago, Tenka meeting up with Shirasu wouldn't be anything interesting at all. In fact, it'd just be another normal day in the shrine.

Though another question soon follows after: How much can he say without hurting Sousei?]

Well, obviously I'm unharmed.

[He even brings up both his hands at that and wiggles his fingers. See? All present and accounted for. Then when he drops them he just shrugs faintly.]

We talked?

He agreed not to hurt you and that he won't let any harm come to pass on my brothers.

[And Tenka trusted him.

He still don't know if it's the right thing to do.

But he's doing it.]
