[Even if he doesn't say it, Tenka thinks he can hear it in the silence. Sousei doesn't like Shirasu, right? With good reason - very, very good reason. Tenka knows better than anyone that what Shirasu's done is awful, considering that all of it happened to his little brothers. And for his little brothers, Tenka has trouble forgiving Shirasu.
Sousei probably feels it even more - lacking the ten years of attachment that Tenka has. So to hear anything else that sounds like it would excuse the person who took Sousei's protege - from the kidnapped's own older brother? It probably sounds like a mess.]
We don't have to talk about it, you know. [He quirks a brow and musters up a grin.] Much as I appreciate the effort.
[He'd rather just brush it under the table for now. Nothing big has even happened. (The feeling of a hand around Tenka's heart, making it hard for him to breathe at the thought of losing his friend, will eventually go away if he just laughs it off.) Though there is just... one thing he wants to make sure of first.]
But I need you to do me a favor. Partner to partner.

[Yes, he's that serious about it.]
