[ tseng is no stranger to the concept of revenge as motivation. like sasuke, he knows how compelling the desire can be, the desire to return all of the pain and rage and desperation tenfold onto the person who hurt you to begin with. like sasuke, he also knows how easily you can be consumed by that desire, how easily you can be blinded. ]
I see. [ the hesitation in sasuke's voice is notable enough to tell tseng that the wounds still hurt. either that, or sasuke doesn't really want too talk about it. either way, tseng feels that now is not the moment to push for more information. ] The parallels between our worlds are interesting. Turks and shinobi... or the Intelligence Division. Not the same, but similar.
[ it's... sort of nice, in a way. that regardless of the fact that they hail from different home worlds, sasuke understands the circumstances, at least to an extent. the turks who make a living, the turks who are expected to become turks, the turks who are also soldiers, whether by choice or by force.
the question does take a step away from their previous topic, but all tseng does is lift his eyebrows slightly in response. ]
It is more important to me that my partner be well-informed and able to consent. As a matter of personal preference I draw the line at sixteen. [ like, he became a full-fledged hitman at 13. that kind of thing can skew perspective. ] Is it important to you?
