[ God. It sort of makes sense, since Sousei already isn't the most pleasant to begin with (not that Shinpachi minds, he's learned how to prick right through that at this point), but Tenka being gone sure must have put him in a terribly sour mood for him to be even worse than usually.

.. then again, if Sano suddenly disappeared one day.. then he'd be in a pretty shitty mood too, huh. And since it's him, it'd seem even more off, so this is actually not even all that bad yet. ]

Fine, fine, I'll drop the pretenses.. I doubt you'd just say "yeah, sure" if I invited you to come drink with me tonight. [ He lets out a sigh, and it's almost as if some of the lighter attitude drops right off his shoulders, his posture changing a little. It's still not entirely heavy, since he wants to be optimistic about this, but.. ] I already know. Tenka's gone. Then you know why I'm here, yeah?
