Yamato nodded vaguely at the suggestion, hearing but not comprehending and after a long beat, finally replied.
"I will, I mean-"
He took a shuddering breath.
"D-did you know that the Hoshigaki clan holdings are on a lake? They have a shark fin structure, right out on the water.." He still couldn't meet Kakashi's gaze, but forged on, regarding the middle distance with a furrowed brow and words spilling out in a rush "..There's not path or bridge though, j-just a tunnel, clear glass under water, right under the lake!"
The burst of nervous laughter was strangled by the sudden wave of anxiety that hit him, just picturing the under water walkway, summoning up fears that he had hoped were long buried.
Yamato finally met Kakashi's eyes though, desperate for the other man to understand the meaning behind his words, praying that his keen mind would connect the dots without Yamato having to bare is soul. Heavens help him, but he didn't think he even could.
