[Kisame flushes a rather pretty shade of purple--he just can't help it, now that he realizes exactly what he said. That look in her eyes.... how can he not realize it, now? He hadn't meant to say that. Or rather.... well. He had meant it, in his mind, in his heart.... but he hadn't meant to say that. Not when he knew what it meant, not when he was still trying to keep some polite distance between them.... The thought sends not-unpleasant warm chills racing through him, remembering the home they had built together.]

[He hopes Itachi doesn't feel put upon like this. He had meant it when he tried to include Itachi in the choice--they were partners, and for now, this home was both of theirs. If Itachi didn't want her to stay with them, then he would have been glad to help set her up in a house--even one right next door, if she had wanted. Itachi shouldn't have to feel slighted, or left ou, or intruded on, or.... well, anything. Not while he's staying here. But if he really does think it's okay....]

[A sheepish smile at Valeria's urging, and Kisame untwines their fingers, scooping up the kunai at his feet as he heads up onto the porch again. It's tucked into the abandoned weapons pouch, which he grabs as he opens the front door, moving to slip an arm around Itachi and help support his weight.] Itachi-san, you really shouldn't be moving around too much.... You two should come in and relax. I can put some water on for tea or something, if you want--I'll go bring in another mattress bag this evening.

[Because as much as he's frazzled already by Valeria's mere presence, he's pretty damned sure it would be ripping that wound back open completely, if they were to sleep in the same bed again. After all the trouble he's had trying to get over her already....]
