[ The ears make Sasuke a little too transparent and easy to read.
He doesn't really care if Sasuke doesn't call him sensei. He gets the sense that Sasuke isn't the kind of kid that would call anyone that, anyway. Especially someone who isn't an Uchiha. Which probably makes him a rather untalented Uchiha, if he got stuck with a jounin instructor that isn't one. And there had been another boy who didn't have an Uchiha instructor once, but Sasuke doesn't seem to have very much in common with that boy.
But there was something about Sasuke that felt strangely familiar. ]
Mm.
[ Kakashi shrugs slightly, acknowledging Sasuke's statement. And then... ]
You know, those are kind of cute. I hope you get to keep them.
[ He says, his eyes arcing into perfect crescents, as he points up at his head, where ears would be. If he had any. ]
