Kisame remembered the days he'd spent in Konoha on his mission, and remembered his guide with something that might be called fondness if one was being generous. He'd learned a few things, but more importantly met a shinobi who had had the guts and intuitiveness to realize the deception and call him out on it. He hadn't been able to share the truth then, but having the lie openly acknowledged had helped.
And now, he was no longer on that mission, and he was happy to strip the lies away. "As much as I usually do. But, I'll let little Kajiki-kun know you remembered his name. Kid was a bit too young to come to the festival with us this year."
Kisame paused for a moment and tipped his head to the side. "Now we can be introduced properly, eh? Hoshigaki Kisame."
He didn't add that he was a member of the Seven; if Neji was a ninja worth his salt, he would recognize the name.
