[ . . . hm. senri will nod and eat quietly for a second, internally analyzing the feeling that settles in his chest. this one is sasuke's - but it's not one that Senri doesn't understand in his own way. to feel useless, to feel like you're not doing enough... that's him in this game constantly.
but there's also a different feeling - like he's a little stronger now that he has sasuke's cooperation. and he feels a little lighter, now that he's been honest.
so he'll shift how he's sitting and put his bowl in one hand again, so he can reach out with two fingers extended and press them to sasuke's forehead.
he offers up a smile as he does.]
... have faith. I'm worried - but I think... the more people we get to work together, the better it'll go.
Please keep trusting me.
[the emotions inside of senri don't entirely fit the expression on his face - he looks much happier than he feels - but there is the core of hope at the center of his being. that one way or another, things will work out. a stubborn denial to feel downtrodden when the game is not yet over.]
