I said I wouldn't ignore it. But I'm not going to drop everything to humor your curiosity if I'm busy, either. You don't have the right to ask that much of me.
[Sasuke might notice a slight emphasis on the you, as though there are people he would accept it from. Ozpin, for one. He'd try his best for Ruby or Yang or Tai, too. Sasuke helped him out at risk to himself, and he's grateful enough to offer a guarantee of response--but this is too much.]
Don't be surprised if I'm not as easy to find as I was today.
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.
[Qrow is not always someone above trying to get the last word in an argument, but he's tired. This whole situation's worn on him, and he can't summon the energy to chase after it as the conversation comes to a close. Instead, he merely rolls his eyes, and once Sasuke's left him to his devices, he gets back to what he came for -- trying to drink himself into an oblivion that forgets, at least for the moment, all the things that are making him miserable.
One that forgets what else he needs to drink now, in order to survive. Maybe if he were fortunate, one of these days he'd wake up from a blackout back in Remnant. If only.]
