Damn, if he hadn't been so focused on the fruit in his hand (was it worth paying for...?) he would have been able to dodge the hasty man, or at least prevented himself from crashing into the small girl. It may have been convenient to convince the genin (no one her age could be anything more) that he was no threat...but then she was so small it simply made him feel bad to mow her over.

He frowned down at the man as he straightened (noting that yes, despite the unusual clothing the little girl was well armed) and stepped smoothly out of her personal space. "You should watch where you're going, or someone will accuse you of pick-pocketing."

There wasn't any point in doing that this time, because Utakata had nothing on him to steal where anyone could reach.
