Sounds more like you're too stubborn not to use this kind of technique without discrepancy.
[Surprisingly, Sasuke isn't actually chastising when he says this; it's difficult to hand-slap a teenage boy when he would--and did--do similar things when he was a teenage boy.
It's more amusement than anything.]
Don't do it again unless absolutely necessary. [Sasuke's hand still hasn't moved. Again, the fingers curl a little tighter around Nico's elbow.
The feeling that seeps out of the palm and into Nico's skin through the sleeve of the jacket is... strange. Maybe warm, but not warm. Energized, and whatever description would be needed for it.
It's not unlike having a small shot of caffeine.
The energy doesn't pour in all at once. There's a thumb over the mouth of the faucet, letting it slide in, rolling up the arm and dispersing. Chakra. Nico can tell it's the tip of the iceberg. There's more being capped off behind it, a lot of it. An immense amount of power which only grows darker and heavier the deeper it's felt.
The gift isn't actually a lot. Enough to help Nico get over the ordeal of jumping through such a tunnel of space. The boy is still going to be tired.] It'll get you by.
