[He was wary of 'professionals'. Throughout his entire life there had been people making assessments and generally coming up with the conclusion that he was... slow. He was sure it was the reason why no one had adopted him from the orphanage, and that was the reason why he'd raised his hackles about going to see this-- psycho guy.
He told himself he was doing it for his Mum, and maybe Sasuke too - knocking on the door loudly, and regretting almost seconds later.]
[He hears the yell, and it's partly what bothers him, lips pressing together for a moment. Maybe-- he could just leav-- Oh.
Taking a deep breath, he pushes the door open, blinking a few times at the man under the table. A man he knew to be related to Sasuke, but someone he hasn't seen in a good six years at least--]
[The head bumping makes him laugh, and he slumps down in his seat, letting out a sigh and lifting a hand to idly fiddle with a pen from Shisui's desk.]
[ Sends him an embarrassed smile and nods ] I was trying to make the longest chain of magnetic paperclips but they fell off and scattered everywhere under my desk...
So. How may I help you, uh...? [ He gestures casually, asking for Naruto's name ]
Mhm, So am I. [ Shisui clasps his hands in front of him on the table and smiles wide ] And what seems to be bothering you, Naruto? [ His name is on the placard on the table~ ]
So. [ Leans his cheek on his hand ] How may I help my future brother-in-law? [ Yep, bro-in-law. This gives away the fact that there's something going on between him and Itachi. Very discreet, Shishi. /FAIL ]
Not growing up at home? [ He sits up straight now, leaning slightly forward, interested in the boy's story. Of course he would be interested in Naruto's story~ ] Where did you grow up, then, Naruto?
[ Nods, taking out a pen and notepad, and fixing a lingering glance at the gun in that desk before shutting it closed |: He then proceeds to write down Naruto's name and 'orphanage'. ]
He told himself he was doing it for his Mum, and maybe Sasuke too - knocking on the door loudly, and regretting almost seconds later.]

[ Grumblegrumble... picking up paperclips. ]
Come in! [ The doctor is under the table right now, crawling in there trying to get at all of his fallen paperclips... ]

[He glances at the pile of paperclips on the desk, and under them still, leaning over to pick one up and set it on the table, pouting over at him.]
Uzumaki Naruto-- Uh, I'm new...

[He shifts a little, looking away before glancing back at Shisui, nipping his bottom lip.]
Uh-- Well, I grew up in the orphanage...
