[ . . . Sousei has decided something and that's very close to being enough to get Tenka to respect it and step back. Because honestly when they were kids it felt like Sousei didn't decide much at all. He was the sensible one and pulled Tenka away from trouble a lot, but it was different from just acting on his own. It was always closer to reacting.

But now it gets Tenka to calm for a moment. Yeah, there... might be more important things at stake. Tenka can only agree to that much because of the Orochi and the Orochi puts his own little brothers in danger and they are the only ones who could be more important than Sousei and the Yamainu.

So he sighs.]

... It's not really my place anyway - not like I can tell you what to do.

[To be honest. But regardless, this is Tenka and he is simple indeed so he's just going to nod to himself and reaffirm:]

I'm still gonna sock him in the face if I ever see him again.

[For degrading his friends and for mistreating his partner - that much is non-negotiable.]

[deontology]

[It's even more gratifying, that Tenka took that answer and accepted it for the decision it was. Sousei did decide for himself here. He made the choice to continue to put up with this for the sake of a proper conclusion. He's fine with that, and he's glad that Tenka is too.

He's glad that Tenka takes his decisions as a partner seriously too. It's true, it took him an awfully long time to learn that he even could make decisions for himself...but here he is now, making decisions not only for himself but for the rest of the Yamainu as well, and doing it well.

So he nods simply, accepting that with a fair bit of relief, even if it's not completely obvious on his face (but Tenka can probably see it anyway).]

...Right. [He'll accept that, honestly. And add, rather frankly (but with some well-hidden amusement--)] He chose to not accept my proposal of the Yamainu as bodyguards. I have no obligation to stop you.

[sunshrouded]

[Tenka sees it and figures that's enough of an inclination that he made the right decision here. Okay, yeah, let Sousei do what he wants and apparently Sousei will also let Tenka do what he wants. That's a fair enough exchange.

So Tenka just nods once again, firmly, and then snorts, regaining a bit of his good humor despite the anger that enveloped his entire being earlier.]

You guys have better and more important things to do than to guard some shithead who doesn't even deserve your time anyway.

[The Yamainu have always been destined for great things.]

[deontology]

[Destined for greatness...? Maybe, maybe not. Destined to take down the Orochi--that's enough greatness for Sousei. That's all he wants. Still, they're both in slightly better humor now, so Sousei removes his hand from that tea, because Tenka probably won't knock it over now.]

We do. Now that it has come time to take on the Orochi, we won't stop until it has been defeated.

[Or until they're dead. Either/or--but Sousei has faith that if anyone, the Yamainu can figure out how to make it the first.]
