[ah yes what a bleeding heart Sousei's going to just basically ignore that, thanks.]
Kotarou. [A pause. Wow. You're so familiar with this terrorist, Tenka...
and then he shakes his head. Whatever, you do you.]
Regardless, it is true. We do not even know if she truly intended to help us, or was only trying to cause us more harm in the end. Before you defend her, consider how little we know about this situation.
Listen to me. I won't deny that she was in pain and harmed. I am not pleased that she was killed.
But you do not know what she had in store for us. You do not know what these new figures have in store for us. Before you start opening your heart to every person here, remember what they have been doing to us.
[For months.
And, a tad bit gentler--]
There are others here who are genuine victims that you can concentrate your efforts on.
[Well, it has been a while since they've butt heads.
Which is why he's scoffing next as he turns his head away from Sousei, instead turning his unhappy expression toward the ceiling.]
You think I don't know that?
[He's still sour, if the way that he crosses his arms is anything to go by.]
But don't make it sound like I have to pick and choose. You don't need to tell me that I should care about the people who were brought here -- [he's adopted like half of them] -- but that doesn't change the fact that someone else was attacked tonight. Someone that a lot of people are already making a fuss over.
No one should be getting attacked at all! [And he realizes that his voice is getting louder and quiets himself again.] .... No one.
[...Yeah, they're both sour--Sousei less so than Tenka, admittedly. he's not surprised that Tenka is unhappy about this, but... Sousei doesn't have the time to be soft-hearted about these things.
It's times like these that he realizes that the Yamainu would never have lasted with Tenka at the head--or Tenka would have changed, and no longer have been Tenka.
Either way, a loss.]
... I understand that. I'm not going to change my mind about this situation. [He just is going to go ahead and say that flat out--he still isn't torn up over LILITH's fate.] But regardless, the situation has happened. What we should be discussing is what we will do now.
[ . . . . . . They're really different when it comes to things like this, aren't they?
Tenka stares up at the ceiling for a moment, contemplating it for a second. It's not like they're ever going to change their minds.... even if what Sousei says manages to make Tenka angry.
But he sighs. It's not like he'd asked Sousei to change.]
I'm going to let Peko-chan and Kuzuryuu-kun and Hinata-kun know. I want to make sure that Kotarou's okay too. Kousetsu-kun and Soramaru sustained some injuries this time around too. [Something that makes him distinctly Very Unhappy.] Everyone needs time to recover first.
no subject
Oh yeah, definitely tell Kotarou. I think he'd like to be included--
[Kinda like an invitation to a birthday party but then he's. Blinking. And frowning.]
Sousei, you can't just talk about people like that.
[bleeding heart kumou tenka at your service]

His name is Kotaoru, Sousei. What more do you want.
But he's just frowning at that because one way or another being dismissive of people doesn't fly well with Tenka.]
Maybe you should think about those same things before you're so quick to write her off. She was in pain, Sousei. With no explanation....!
no subject

I agree. [they all need to recover...he's just not sure how much time they have.
A pause, and--]
Elias Sergej was not in that broadcast. [He'd realized when talking to Jaune, and... it's been on his mind.] But he has also not shown up elsewhere.
no subject
The one who liked giraffes?
[Admittedly he didn't even know who the other guy by Julius was. Which is weird.
Tenka may be bad with names sometimes but he's pretty good at remembering important people, he thinks.]
no subject
[He frowns as well, getting out of his futon and moving to tidy it up, finally.
Get off the blankets, lump.]
Either way, there are pieces missing to this situation.
