Will he really be an issue? Aniki can take care of himself, if he visits you.
[As for himself? Well, he'll just be careful to keep some distance, though he still hasn't exactly gone out of his way to see Shirasu either. He's still not sure of anything right now.]
I don't plan on keeping him locked in my apartment.
And I made a promise to your brother. I said I would keep it.
[ It's probably not what you meant, but just so everyone's clear... his twin is going to be completely free of boxes and caves and cells, for the first time in his life. ]
I wouldn't want that for him. Thank you for still wanting to keep your promise to Aniki.
[He feels a little safer, at least, knowing Shirasu is still the same as always.]
Can I come see you soon?
[He's terrified of doing so, but he feels as if he needs to face a few things if he wants to let go of how conflicted he is. He knows Sousei might be disappointed in him and he's not even sure if it would help him forgive Shirasu, but at least they would be on the same page.]
I'm not afraid of you, you know. I can come by myself if possible.
[Not that he would want to keep such a thing from Tenka but he might just so he won't worry. He wouldn't mind having Tenka there but he also doesn't want anyone to think he's afraid of Shirasu. It's more of a general unease that he wants to sort out for himself.]
[o-oh... they're really going to hang out like old times... this is both nerve wrecking and very pleasant. He really is relieved that they aren't going to be weird with one another. He still is very confused on how to talk about things but it's a start? Shirasu is still Shirasu.]
Do you have konpeito as well? If not I can make something else.
[One thing Shirasu should be thankful for is that this is the one Kumou who can actually cook so that is less work for him-!!]

Yes, of course. Just let me know when.

Tenka and I have tea in the garden once a week. I'm sure he won't mind if you come, if it would make you more comfortable.

I will have to buy some more tea, then.
[ Kumous. ]
