[That much gets Tenka to laugh. Punching people in the face. Sounds like a solid solution to him. But.... well, he's easy-going as ever. He gives her a grin once she does introduce herself.]

Hawke. Nice to meet you, even though I guess you already technically know who I am.

[He's about to pick up the last trail of conversation, something about "you've already met Sousei" and so that's why Tenka doesn't care if he badmouths him. Sometimes total strangers who know nothing about Sousei will get a slightly nicer version. Sometimes.

Yet instead of picking that up, he instead shrugs his shoulders and speaks honestly.]

Thanks for distracting him. I was wondering why he was so beat up but.... [He waves a hand.] I guess you gave him something else to focus on. He probably needed it.

[Not exactly the healthiest but???? .... It worked.]
