[There is a part of him that's surprised that Tenka bothered to get Shirasu to agree to not hurt him. Is that why the kunai was a warning instead of an attack? He wonders. But...
He sips his tea quietly, buying himself some time to think, and by the time he gently sets it down, he has his thoughts in order again. Honestly... this man makes his life so hard. But then, he accepted that when he accepted all of the responsibilities inherent in being his partner and right-hand man. If this is Tenka's decision, that's all there is to it.]
Very well then. I understand the situation.
[Sousei doesn't trust Shirasu, no. And he'll work tirelessly to make sure that Tenka and Soramaru and Chuutarou are safe. But he's not going to try to change Tenka's mind either. He laid out his facts and his thoughts already once before, and Tenka knows them--and he decided to trust Shirasu even knowing what Sousei thinks. So he has to respect that.]
