[oh.]

I didn't think you would admit to it so quickly.

[He appreciates the honesty. Yet — he's still left with a complicated feeling, and one that he struggles to articulate clearly.]

Why?

The money, I mean. Not telling me the truth.

I just want to make sure...

[Sasuke hesitates as well, reading the kind intention in those words. It isn't that he would try to turn it away, but with it being left unspoken, there's still something he needs to determine.]

It's not because we have sex. Is it? Because that isn't something I do as a transaction. I know others will for the sake of the game, and that's fine, but I don't if I can help it.

[Ah. Sasuke feels, at first, silly for jumping to the conclusion that he did. But there's something in reading those words in Tseng's message that draws warmth into his chest, a sentimentality he is more familiar with by now. And more accustomed to handling when it does arise.]

It's all right to be inexperienced. I am, too. For a long time it was dangerous for me to be emotional. It's a curse my clan carries with them in their blood.

Acts of service. When you do something for someone else not with any expectation to have it returned or reciprocated — you're doing it because you care.
[Love languages!! Look, he's learning.] It means a lot to me. You do make me feel safe. I didn't think I would find anyone else who did, especially in a place like this.

I had to use some of it to pay off a debt from property damage I caused in the basement recently. So, thank you for your help.

[He takes the cue and doesn't press further. It's enough to know that the gesture was done out of well-meaning care — and to sit in that feeling, and to feel that it won't cripple him. He's glad he met Tseng.]

There's someone in the resort I don't see eye to eye with. I let myself... get out of control in my response to him. No one was seriously injured, but I still regret my reaction. I don't intend to let it happen again.

But we caused a lot of damage. It isn't the first time the resort has fined me, though it seems disproportionately due to my rank since everything repaired itself overnight.

Coming from you, that might as well be a lecture.

[Teasing back...]

It was stupid of me. I know. I don't intend to let it happen again, but sometimes this resort has a way of making our intentions difficult to keep.

[oh 🥺]

I wouldn't want to trouble you.

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.

[sighs!! fine!]

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.

Ah. You do.

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.
