I see. [ it's a sensible explanation. tseng is indeed familiar with cy's ability to teleport, although he doesn't understand its specifics quite yet—with one of them so relatively unfettered by locked doors, it would be reasonable to focus on increasing the rank of the partner who can't travel quiet as freely.

the comment about royal ranks makes tseng's lips quirk, and he shakes his head slightly. ] Don't be. I didn't want to be a royal rank either.

[ he could rank down, in theory. but tseng has found that there are some small advantages to his position here, strings that he can pull and inner circles he can access that allow him to explore slightly more detailed information. while it had been a curse at first... and while it is still partly a curse, tseng has found himself adapting.

sasuke's desires align closely with what tseng had thought of himself. he files that away in the back of his mind for later contemplation. ]

Well, until you have that, you know you can make use of mine whenever you wish.
