[ still teasing, but he also means it. sasuke does, in fact, know him in some ways better than anybody else here does, when it comes to things about tseng's personality and his past. ]
I'm not sure I can help with the fighting part--I get the sense that when you go all-out, you're much stronger than I am. But if it does happen again, I can at least help with the cleanup.
The damage wasn't even permanent. I'm not used to that. Normally if I destroy something it stays that way. [when your powers are like natural disaster level that reshape geography] Besides, power is relative. I suspect there are things you can do far better than me.
It isn't troubling me if I'm asking you directly, Sasuke.
[ please trouble him. he would love to be troubled.
also, damage does have a way of being permanent even when it isn't natural disaster level that reshapes geography, so tseng's mind doesn't immediately go there, even if he would probably conclude it to be true if he spent some time thinking along those lines. ]
Do you? Without access to materia, I have no power beyond that of a normal human man.
Have you ever heard of taijutsu? It's a martial art, and those of my world practice it as a way not to rely strictly on their chakra. It would make us an even match, so I'll limit myself to it when we spar.

I've met leaders who were ordinary civilians yet their decisions still had an influence over people. It was rarer in my world, but still possible.
I used to think physical strength was all that mattered, but it's not.

You're right, it isn't. Physical strength is only one kind of strength among many.
Speaking of which, I believe I still owe you a spar.

I'm looking forward to it.
