[Sasuke's face follows his brows, softening considerably. Back home... whenever Naruto felt pain, he felt it, too. And he guesses... it's not much different here. Seeing Senri trying to be so okay, so grateful, only for it to hurt.
Well, he hurts a little, too.
He's not... sure what to do. He hasn't even been good with anything like this at all much less thanking people for it when it's given to him. His right hand rises, agonizingly unsure and slow, up to thread the fingers through the orange hair by Senri's ear, back through it. The other hand follows, threading through the other side until he can cup Senri around the back of the neck at the hairline and pull the boy against his chest gently.
It's... supposed to be a hug, but Sasuke sucks at them.
He keeps his arms twined over Senri's shoulders, his voice low against the side of Senri's head.] So you won't forget us. [Really, he's not sure what else to say. He thinks about the photo Kakashi has of the three of them--of Team 7. He doesn't know if Kakashi even still has it... He hasn't been back to Konoha officially in... years.
So he doesn't think he can try to explain any merit to the photograph.]
