While Gai had tried to make it sound that any finding of Sasuke would be accidental, he hadn't meant that it would be at all. Those who he was concerned about he sought out and Gai had gotten very good at seeking people out over the years

Despite his relatively slow pace, Sasuke stopped so abrutply that it could have given someone whiplash. When this man had made mention of speaking with him, he hadn't expected it to be quite so soon. Briefly, dark eyes narrowed, bearing defensively down on the taller shinobi. Maybe it wasn't coincidence at all, which was both frustrating and confusing. This guy, like so many others, hadn't given him a sideways glance when it mattered. And now, not only had he been called out, he'd been found, and not with the intent that they'd all possessed upon first arriving.

He had every intention of turning heel and walking away, feeling his heartrate kick up in his chest. Sasuke had a feeling he knew what this conversation would entail, and he wasn't sure if he was ready to face it or not. Not for the first time in the last five days, however, his body refused to obey and he remained rooted to the spot.

"Fine," He grunted, choosing neither to return the greeting or the niceties.

When it had mattered back home, Gai hadn't known. After all, he'd had his own team and thought that Kakashi would slowly warm up to his students and perhaps all of them would heal a bit together. By the time Gai realized he was wrong on that hope, it had been too late. Sasuke was gone, taken by Orochimaru, wanting to be there

It sounded like a question, but Sasuke had the suspicion it really wasn't. That, and should he turn the man down, the persistent ass would just show up again later. It came down to whether Sasuke truly wanted to drag the inevitable out or get it over and done with. He'd become a proficient liar, maybe by the time this was over he'd be able to convince Gai he was well enough not to be tailed constantly.

Maybe he was just confused and intimidated by this sudden show of interest. Particularly in light of everything he now knew.

He takes a breath, and closes his eyes, as much to centre himself as to look utterly uninterested in the other shinobi's proposal. "Tch," Was his final answer, neither acquiescing or denying his company as he stepped forward and continued walking. Sasuke hadn't outright said no, which he figured, fuzzy eyebrows here would take as some kind of permission to join him.
