— I'm sorry for interrupting you. Mind if I take a seat? — Tensei gave us a warm smile, when Iida stood up to let his brother sit nearby.

— Don't worry, we weren't talking about anything in particular. Want me to get you something? — Iida returned a smile, while Tensei sat on a couch.

— Yes, I'd like the same thing you got for yourself, everything here looks delicious. — He looked at the cake and coffee we got for each other, deciding to go with the flow.

— Alright, I'll go get you one. — With that, Iida came to make another order, while Tensei looked at me with a grateful smile.

— Thank you for helping my little brother and myself in those trying times. I can't express how much I'm thankful for what you've done for both of us. — He said in a low tone not to attract attention to us, since a few people already recognized Iida's family duo.

There's no need to thank me, I just returned a favor for all you did in the past.

— And I'm still grateful. Even if it was for me, you still helped him when he needed it the most. I don't have much time to see my family with all the work, so I couldn't ask for a better person than you to make sure he's on the right path. — He closed his eyes for a second, placing his hands on the table. — I don't want to bother you more than it's needed, I know you don't like being thanked so much, so let's just have some time with each other. The food's on me, order anything you want.

Be careful with this, I can eat more than it looks like I can. — We both smiled, when Tensei remembered our past with each other.

— I know, but you don't have to worry, Iida family have enough budget to afford that luxury. — He chuckled, and looked at Iida that was standing in the line to make an order.

Mind if I say something?

— Not at all. What is it that you want to ask of me?

When we part ways today, talk with Tenya about what happened with you that day in more details. I told him about his emotions and what he should do, but I'm not someone who can help him more than his brother he sees as an idol. Tell him what it means to be a hero, give him a reason to make sure he's not going to follow the wrong path. I'm sure you know a better way to do it than me. — I said, looking at Iida that finally made an order and decided to stand and wait for it.

— I was going to do so, but if that's what you want to be done as soon as possible, I'll make sure it will be done in the best way. — Tensei nodded, and closed his eyes, thinking of something. — I know I told you that before, but you never really cared about it. If you need any help, you can always contact me, and I'll do everything in my power to make sure you get what you need, be it money or help with trainings.

I know that, but bothering you with my requests was too much for me, I don't want to burden you after all you did before, it was much more than I could ask for.

— You'd never be a bother, I'll always find a minute to listen to you, any day, anytime. — He smiled, and I nodded to his words. Even if I know he will, I'm still hesitant to accept his help. — Now, let's have some good time before we will return to our duties.

This day ended on a happy note. Tensei helped to relieve some tension between me and Iida, since despite having themes to talk about with each other, we couldn't hold a conversation for long. Tensei never changed since the last time I saw him, which was a good thing, for which I was grateful for.

When we parted ways and I went back home, I could see the happy smiles on the Iida family faces, so I could sleep well, knowing Tensei will deal with Iida's emotions and his internal conflict. No matter what Tenya may do, be it a bad or a good thing, Tensei will still love his brother, and help him in any way possible, that much I knew is undoubtedly true.
