she wouldn't, if their positions were reversed. ]
I wouldn't have called you here if I thought I would.
[ and she's not going to avoid it, taking a sip of tea as she lets that settle.
lay it on her, sousei. it's not her issues that're being thrown out on the table, anyway, so it's not like she needs to steel herself for anything.
... but she does need to consider whether or not she'll need to punch tenka in the shoulder. sousei, too. ]

Though Sousei...is realizing that he can't actually wiggle out of this. they've come this far, there's nowhere else to go but to be honest about this. What a weird thought. He takes another bite, uses the time to chew and consider it, before he inwardly shrugs to himself.
Oh well.]
We both know the tours were an unwise decision. I suppose I have also gotten into more fights than were strictly necessary. [He can't even call them "spars", some of those were straight up fight club fights....
A beat.
And more quietly, and more slowly, as though he's thinking it through as he speaks:]
... I also did not expect delivering the news to Tenka's acquaintances would be quite so wearing.
no subject
the word "acquaintances" next to "tenka" doesn't bring to mind a small list, in the same way that "ludger" next to the word "debt" didn't bring up a small number. the look she tosses him is a mix of unimpressed, surprised, and somewhat baffled--she's not surprised he'd bother with that, but the thought is so completely outside of any action she'd take that she can't believe someone would do that.
and fighting. she can imagine him now, especially considering when she'd met him, he'd gone way too overboard with the solo practice. she's--
--one hand, on her forehead. ]
I don't see how you'd see telling half the city that Tenka's gone as anything but wearing.
[ okay, maybe she's exaggerating. but she's just-- how does someone like this even exist. your best friend leaves, and your first response is to make sure everyone else is okay? and then you go on stupid tours and get into fights and you can't at all figure out that maybe something's wrong?
she's emotionally stupid, but that's a whole other level. abe no sousei is just a whole other level.
seeing him unravel is just-- a whole. other. level. ]
... You really do miss him.
no subject
It amuses him, somehow. He's warned her that she wouldn't like it. So he just finishes his meal, eating the last of the rice (the Yamainu aren't so well-off that he could afford not to eat everything on his plate, and the Kumous too, had taught him better, and the meal is delicious) before he finally responds to that.
His kneejerk reaction is to deny it.
That's what he's been doing for days now though, and he knows it's not true. And so, simply:]
Of course. He is my partner, after all. [best friend, family--it covers a lot of bases.
Of course he misses Tenka. Last time Tenka disappeared out of his life, it took ten years for him to show up again.]
...And regardless, it had to be done. [He had to tell everyone. He has to still look out for them. That's what Tenka would have wanted, and Sousei is all about fulfilling half-made promises. A pause, and he sighs.]
Are you satisfied now?
