[Ah. There it is, the bluntness and the clarification. Shinpachi already knows that Tenka is gone; good, that makes things easier. And he's right about Sousei's response; he's not going to go drinking with him tonight, but more because he knows that he has even less of a handle on his self-control than usual, and he doesn't want to deal with that right now.

There's a faint quirk of his lips, humorless but present.]

Are you here to take care of me and make sure I don't do anything stupid?

[That sounds like something Tenka would do. "Take care of Sousei", he'd say, so selfishly, as if it's fine that he disappears and leaves that burden on someone else.]

Tenka has always been selfish that way. That's no surprise.
