She remembered me, however--strange. [He doesn't get it at all....

And yeah he's ignoring Tenka now like.

He doesn't even care, Tenka.]

[sunshrouded]

[Too bad, Tenka's already going to drop his head on the table and continue his whining.]

As soon as his big brother's gone, Soramaru just gets a girlfriend...!! That punk, what was he thinking all this time?! I should've been paying closer to attention to him!

Don't grow up so fast, Soramaruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.

[there might be actual tears on the table now]

[deontology]

[.........gross.

Sousei's just making a face, faint as it is, at the table.]

...Tenka, calm down. They are not in a romantic relationship.

Soramaru knows better than to take advantage of a patient. [Did you miss the part where he SAVED HER....]

[sunshrouded]

[Cue the sniffing.]

They're not?

[and he's looking up at Sousei with these sad eyes and it's probably really gross but are they really not

don't play with his feelings here, sousei]

[deontology]

[And immediately and irritably--]

No. They're not.

[good lord.]

[sunshrouded]

[ . . . h-ha.

Tenka straightens then, waving a hand and laughing.]

Bahahaha! I knew it!! No way can Soramaru have a girlfriend already - he can't be so much cooler than his big brother! Buahahaha!!

[idiot]

[deontology]

[You did not even know that, you just had a crisis over it.

Here's your partner, Tenka.

Watching you flatly.

Fingers tapping on the table irritably and impatiently. Really.]

[sunshrouded]

[ . . . right. So when Tenka's laughter dies down into chuckles, he just sighs and nods calmly.]

So what were we talking about?

[deontology]

[...............................................ARGH.]

Never mind that. I've figured it out for myself.

[Time shenanigans again...]

[sunshrouded]

Well if you figured something out, don't look so grumpy about it.

[TO BE HONEST. Anyway-]

What'd you piece together?

[deontology]

If all she remembers is Soramaru's initial rescuing of her, then... much like with the Shinsengumi captains [some of whom should be dead] I suspect they didn't care to pull us from the same point in time.

[Because they suck.

...Shirasu clearly remembers betraying Tenka, though. When is he from?]

[sunshrouded]

Really? They couldn't just keep the line between now and apparently Kagemitsu's time?

[That was already annoying enough... but now Tenka just sighs.]

It's too confusing. I already had too much to think about without this!

[deontology]

[yeah after that whole mess Sousei's response is immediate--]

You were hardly thinking about anything before this.

[sunshrouded]

Before I found out that Soramaru brought a girl into the house, I mean!!

[You know, when he actually.... was contemplating his problems.

It happens sometimes, though he does have the tendency to leap at any opportunity to ignore his own drama and just get stupid.]

[deontology]

[...uh huh..........

Sousei's lack of an answer should make his skepticism clear (even though he knows it's true, Tenka was thinking about heavier things before this).]

...Regardless.

[Man what topic does he even...want to go back to at this point...]

[sunshrouded]

[There are options and Tenka doesn't plan on helping because as far as he's concerned, those heavy thoughts don't need to be brought into the air between them. It'll just make Sousei get annoyed at him or something similar and Tenka doesn't really want to sign himself up for that.

Sousei being annoyed at him is fine - Sousei possibly getting bothered by Tenka's actual serious problems? He'd rather not take the chance.

So he just sips at his tea before tilting his head.]

Are we done then?

[deontology]

[And it's like Tenka won the lottery there because Sousei sure is irritated by that! ...Mostly because he knows what Tenka is trying to do, there.]

Are we? The Fuuma ninja is here. You've requested that I don't hurt him on your behalf, which I accepted.

[...yeah you know what, he just slides his phone over to Tenka, displaying those texts that Tenka sent him in a frenzy.]

Care to explain the rest?

[sunshrouded]

[ . . . . Tenka honestly doesn't remember the texts that he sent so he looks over and

THAT BASTARD KISSED ME

proceeds to look very ill]

Can I not?

[no it's not even serious or embarrassing, it's just gross]

[deontology]

[...Okay seeing that look on Tenka's face in this context is rather hilarious.]

...Was it something the virtual world caused?

[It's his first guess in most incidents these days.]

[sunshrouded]

Some weird plant machine, I think. It was hovering around when I tackled Shirasu.

[and made him want to kiss him but the point is that he was totally holding out better than shirasu

but then shirasu kissed him

and then when tenka asked him why-

"Because I wanted to."

WAIT

STOP

evERYTHING???]

Wait!! What if Shirasu's in love with me?!

[what the actual fuck]

[deontology]

[....................

gross?????? He's not here for your love life, Tenka!!!]

If you think it was that plant machine, that seems likely.

[moving....right along then...]

[sunshrouded]

Sousei, this could be a big problem!!

[how much of this is tenka honestly thinking shirasu's in love with him

and how much of it is him trying to get out of a serious conversation with sousei about feelings

the world may never know]

I never thought about this before!

[1/2]

[deontology]

[......................

How Is My Partner This Dumb: starring Sousei]

[2/3]

[deontology]

[...

Okay he can legitimately only take so much of this conversation before he's 150% done with it.]

[3/3]

[deontology]

Stop acting like a moron, Tenka.

If it was truly a concern, you would have noticed before now. If this place is causing him to act unusually, like it does others, that could be problematic.

[Because it makes people extra stabby sometimes.]
