As information rolled in, Shisui's brows knit into a frown. Somehow, he wasn't convinced that these so-called meetings were nothing but coincidence. He was, however, going to hold back on his opinion for until Itachi had finished. Or until he had exhausted his questions.

Somehow, his only reaction to the man matching Orochimaru's description stabbing through this Ashiko (and Shisui mentioned nothing of how casually her name rolled off Itachi's tongue, either, though he made note of it) was a raised eyebrow. More curious than concerned. She meant nothing to him, personally. All he was interested in was the dynamics of these two strangers'. "Did he hit her vitals?"

Whether or not Shisui would be convinced that things were coincidence hung on Itachi's answer to that question. But then Itachi answered that question for him. "Ah." So the man hadn't aimed for her vitals.

"Ashiko, hm?" Shisui shifted, eyeing his friend curiously. Already on a first-name basis with a complete stranger. It made sense to keep in touch with her if Itachi suspected something, but something was still... off.

"Is she pretty?"

Perhaps Shisui had a tiny smile going on at that~
