"Better if it doesn't, Shishito-san, but I am up to the challenge if it does." Kisame knows better than to wish for excitement. Nothing good ever comes of that kind of wish. Better to find things slightly dull than to put his mission in actual risk for selfish reasons.

He wonders how many kinds of fool the man must be to approach. If he is the civilian he appears, how can he hope to catch the eye of someone as powerful and intelligent as Shishito-san? If he is shinobi, which is growing less likely by the second, he should know better than to approach a Hoshigaki, unless he's that powerful, which so very few are. Ignorance or arrogance, either will cost him.

There is a minute twitch of muscle when she reaches out to touch him, but otherwise no sign of his slight discomfort. It's not hard to guess what Shishito-san has planned, and Kisame can slide into the part for the mission easily enough.

When she's done with her sweet question Kisame smiles, and his smile is all very sharp teeth. "Countryman or guest, we would be happy to assist you, wouldn't we?"

At the last Kisame turns his head towards Shishito-san and softens his smile into the closest he can manage to fond. It probably wouldn't be enough to fool a shinobi, but civilians rarely look past the surface of things.
