Though as Tenka's seated at the table, he considers his options. His wound is on his back. If it were anywhere else, Tenka wouldn't care and would've accepted Sousei's help - just as they'd agreed to on their way home. That would have been fine.
But already his grip on his cloak tightens as he pulls it closer to his body as opposed to removing the garment.
If he accepts Sousei's help, then he'd have to show him his scar. While Tenka's never been shy, having his partner see the physical manifestation of his years of pain is something that he'd rather not deal with.

Sousei's not going to like that answer though.
For now, he almost puts it off - sitting at the table, staring at its surface intently.]
