Kisame is likewise paying only the barest attention to the words. It might not look like it--given his strange eyes, people have particular difficulty telling where he's looking when he wants them to, though he'll probably pay with a headache later--but he's watching the body. Every breath, every shift of balance, every movement, conscious or not. He doesn't like that the man didn't turn and flee. A true civilian would have cut his losses and run, even not recognizing Kisame for who, exactly, he is.

So when the code is tapped into his skin, Kisame is not surprised. Trust Shishito-san to have found the answer. The question, of course, is what to do next. The two most obvious options are immediate death or immediate capture, but there may be others that are better. Using the same code, careful to hide the subtle motions even from shinobi view, Kisame taps back, trusting her to understand his request for the best method: Proceed?

While he does that he stretches his senses, looking, listening, and feeling for any kind of sign of the puppetmaster within range.
