Tuss Having an Affair?

Daleks froze, pointing at Tuss with an accusation, "You've changed. You got very possessive and greedy recently."

Tuss surrendered, responding, "Nothing happened between us."

"You're having some kind of crush then," Ender said accusingly.

Tuss argued, pressing his lips together, "Let it go. I won't do anything to hurt Yuri."

Daleks and Ender shared a look, not sure if they should believe him.

"Alright, we'll stay out of your personal life, but..." Ender hesitated, looking serious, "As an alpha, Tuz, you should know how hard the chaos in the Sea of Consciousness can be. We don't have any top betas here, and the ones we have are either B or C-tier, which we both know isn't very helpful. They just give short-term relief, and we're back to the start in a few days."

Tuss understood what they meant, considering his advanced level and the pain he had to deal with, which was a lot more than what Ender experienced.
