[He's thought for a moment before reaching into his pocket to pull out the device and pressing at the buttons. It's slow, but does seem to still be operational.
Then he nudges Sousei with his elbow.]
We wait a day. There's no use going out into the snow if this is just a quick malfunction from this place again. It'll just leave us cold and miserable.
If anyone finds anything and feels like sharing on the device, then we'll pursue that lead. If no one's bothered, we'll be the explorers tomorrow.
Yeah, better than wandering around in powdered ice without direction. Really, Sousei?
[TO BE HONEST. Tenka's not leader material anymore but he's also definitely not just gonna give in to an idea like that. Better if he just convinces Sousei out of it entirely.
Though he notices him huddling down further and he sighs, standing and keeping the blanket around his shoulders.]
... I never claimed that it would be a perfect plan.
[Or even a good one...though one would hope he could come up with a better one than that............ but he just is so tired of this place and its nonsense.]
...Thank you.
[Though he does make a face, if faintly. A lot of his warmth disappeared with Tenka standing up.]
You were too eager to send both of us out into the cold.
[is what Tenka says even as he moves around in the kitchen. It's partially nice just to be by their stove, though he still doesn't stay very long and wanders back to the couch to sit next to Sousei.
Possibly sitting closer than he was before because he remembers why he didn't get up before....]
[Sousei's not even going to complain about personal space at this point. He wants to be as close as possible, because Tenka brings with him body warmth. And that's so important.
So maybe he is on the twiggy side of things whatever.]
I eat fine. You never nagged about my eating habits so much before. [you ate healthier when the parents were alive, Sousei--]
[ . . . . like he didn't have a reason to nag about it before, do you get what he's saying here. Besides, he was too busy inhaling all his own meals to notice Sousei's all that much besides noticing they were normal portions.]
Are you gonna blame it on being too busy or are the Yamainu really just that bad in the kitchen?
There's a moment where Tenka hesitates but then.... if he gets Sousei more tea, maybe he'll stop shivering. So he sighs even as he gets up and puts his own blanket around Sousei's shoulders.]
You don't get to keep that.
[But it's easier to walk around without worrying about it falling off his own shoulders. So Tenka's moving faster now to collect their cups and hurry to pour a fresh cup of hot tea for them both.]
[...And that just leaves Sousei blinking. He wasn't expecting Tenka to give up his blanket by any means, though cold fingers grasp onto it regardless, huddling into the additional warmth, because right now, it's very welcome. Even now, he hasn't quite defrosted from his trip home from outside--it was frigid, and it wasn't much warmer indoors, which has made it very difficult for him to get warmed up in any capacity.
Still, he's not going to say anything in return, simply nodding vaguely.
Fine. Understood. He'll enjoy the warmth while he's got it, then, instead of wasting the effort speaking.]
no subject
[Sigh. He shifts under his blanket.]
We have no other leads.
no subject
You're trying to convince me to go wander out in the cold with no direction....
Sousei, you might want to re-evaluate this plan.
no subject
Do you have a better one?
[honestly, everyone's a critic.]
no subject

Sound good?
no subject
...Fine. That sounds fair.
[... but if they're not going anywhere, he's going to huddle down further in his blanket because NO...... it's so agonizingly cold.]

You don't eat enough! That's why you get so cold.
[Proven science.]

no subject
...]
I eat enough. None of the Yamainu are particularly talented cooks, but they are not terrible. [He'll defend them over his own habits... ok........]
no subject
No one in the Yamainu can cook.]
I see.
So that's why.....
[as if he didn't hear anything sousei said]
no subject
Are you listening to me?
no subject
But you're never gonna say the Yamainu aren't good at something, so.
[HE'S BASICALLY JUST GETTING TO THE TRUTH because he knows Sousei pretty well]
no subject
[Just.......... their cooking isn't a relevant detail to their effectiveness.]
no subject
But for the record, eating good food is very necessary.
[sousei plz??]
no subject
I am aware of that.
[It just doesn't always...happen..........]
no subject
Soramaru's gonna get mad at you if you don't eat.......
[his little brother has always been good about that much]
no subject
It won't be a problem, since there are no problems with my eating habits.
[so. there. END OF DISCUSSION.]
no subject
No, there's definitely a problem.
[just saying]
no subject
It isn't important regardless, though I'll continue to say there is no problem.
Clearly, my health is fine.
no subject
Pretty sure you're shivering more than I am though.
no subject
[no he really is--and he doesn't shrug off Tenka's hand, either, because warmth.
Warmth is very important right now.]
no subject
Sousei-
[Which is when the tea kettle goes off.
There's a moment where Tenka hesitates but then.... if he gets Sousei more tea, maybe he'll stop shivering. So he sighs even as he gets up and puts his own blanket around Sousei's shoulders.]
