Shirasu wouldn't hurt me over something like that. [Probably. Tenka thinks about it now and well, honestly.... Tenka provoked Shirasu to the point that he legitimately had the other man pinned to the ground and he still didn't get stabbed, even when there was a kunai at his throat.

. . . we might need to work on Tenka's definition of 'cornered'.]

But jeeze, just because you can take care of yourself doesn't mean that I'm not gonna try. Partners, remember?
