Ah, as he expected. Yamato's mouth quirked with a wryness he couldn't mask and he flexed his shoulders. He'd been unsure if this conversation needed to happen at all, but it would be confirmed or denied here regardless.
"He is understandably protective of yourself and your team mates..But I'd take a guess that it's a little too all encompassing, hm?"

The not so subtle suggestion was an out; Sasuke could wave this off now if he wanted too, writing the encounter off as Obito's over protectiveness or...
"That being said, any knowledge or experience I have is yours to question if you ever require it."

Despite his efforts, the frown surfaced: protective was one thing, uncertain of Sasuke's work was another. Obito had been one of those things much more often than the other, but in this circumstance ... in this circumstance, it seemed more of the former. Sasuke hoped, at least, that remaining concerns with what had happened would have been an in-person discussion with a dozen security seals on the walls.

This public check-in, with a young relative not far off -- he was being given an out.

A strange tactic, if it was meant to gather information. And the identification he'd been given just now spoke to some high-level work. had He gave the man a long look, brow still furrowed, before responding:

"I'm always grateful for experienced insight. But right now is --" And as if on cue, Fumiko pushed open the door of the bakery, breath puffing out in the cold -- "Not ideal. Perhaps we can meet another time?"

/slides in to wrap this up :3

His gaze diverted to the young girl trotting towards them, but his attention was still on Sasuke and he nodded.

"Of course. Apart from the general mission roster and my other duties, I'm free whenever is convenient." He chuckled at the amount of baked goods that was being ferried across the snow, as much as his next words "And if talking is less than appealing, you can find me at the training fields more often than not."

General mission roster and other duties, unspecified. Sasuke hadn't been a natural in T&I, but he hadn't been a natural in much other than trailing Itachi; he resisted the urge to narrow his eyes at the vagueness from practice.

"I'll find you," he said, certainty in his tone: whether it was a roundabout test or genuine overconcern, he'd eventually need to speak to this Yamato, he was sure. Or fight him, if the invitation to seek the man in the training fields held.

In the meantime, however, he had way more baked goods to pay for than he'd expected.

"... thank you for your --" He paused. "Concern."
