Keep your voice down, [ he cuts back suddenly, and his eyes would be as red as Qrow's if he still had access to his jutsu in that moment. His voice is lowered, unappreciative of the looks drawn their way as a result of the outburst, and his tone remains measured. ]

I'm not interested in baseless "what if" scenarios. I helped you because it was the best option for both of us at that time. I explained my reasoning enough times that I'm not doing it again, but you're letting your guilt outweigh your gratitude by trying to lecture me when what you should be doing is thanking me.

You could have killed me. I could have killed you. And perhaps neither death would take in the first place because of what we now are. Speculating is a waste of time. [ He raises his watch suddenly, making sure it's within Qrow's view. ]

I didn't ask you to contact me. I'm telling you to answer my messages if it happens again. Take whatever precautions you need to to keep yourself from hurting others, but if you fail like you did last night I'm not going to ignore it.

"Because".

[ Oh, how many things could follow that word. He could guess, but would there be any point? Whatever physical, psychological, emotional reason there might be behind Qrow's actions– ] Does it matter? Guilt is making you behave foolishly. I'm acquainted with the concept.

[ Because it's how he acted years ago. Still acts sometimes now, though never with such a strong avoidant streak. He prefers to remain solitary for a lot of reasons, but at the expense of making himself a greater risk? No, he can't forgive himself for something like that any longer. ]

You are responsible for you. I am responsible for me. I'm going to do what I want to do and what I can see is the right course of action. That's what I did with you. Complicate it if you want, but if I wasn't there things would've been worse for you.

I saw you. It doesn't matter if I know you.

I saw you, [ he repeats, eyes fixed on Qrow even if he doesn't get the same treatment in return. Is he wrong to push a man who's clearly reached the potential for intoxication? He doesn't slur and keeps his points clear, enough to convince Sasuke that he's capable. ]

Which means I've seen you, like I see you now. Your problems didn't disappear after the night ended.

[ It's a step in the right direction, even if Sasuke's instinct is always to find an answer wanting. He keeps eyes fixed on Qrow's, red on black where normally his own gaze would be heterochromic. ]

I won't do that. [ Simply enough. ]

If I send you a message and you don't respond to me, it could mean any number of things. Answer quickly, confirm you're fine, and I'll leave you alone. It's all that's required.

You should know what I'm referring to. If you see a message, don't purposefully ignore it. If you miss one incidentally, don't be surprised if I seek out answers myself.

[ Sasuke values his own privacy. To have someone prying into it the way he is into Qrow's? It's distasteful, and it's something he would resent. Bearing all of that in mind, however, he has yet to back down. ]

Maybe I'm underestimating you. I'd rather do that than the opposite... and I don't mind if you dislike me over it. [ Slowly he rises again to his feet, head tilting as he stares down at Qrow. ] Go ahead.

I understand that. [ And he does. His tone even softens for those three simple words, gaze turning briefly reflective before he lifts his chin. ]

I'll deal with the annoyance of finding you if I must, and you can deal with the annoyance of my success. "Dropping everything" for a one word reply requiring absolutely minimal effort seems easier on both of us, but we'll see how things go. [ And with that he's turning on his heel, seemingly satisfied with that being the final word in the argument.

His own. Go figure.
