Instead the pen slams hard into the desk and Gladio instantly backs off, hands up. His eyes go from the embedded pen to Suigetsu as he continues to talk and the shield continues to take one slow step at a time away from him. ]

Yeah, Gladio's not used to this. ]
...Huh? [ This is the part where he's going to be struggling to keep up with Suigetsu, if only because the man seems utterly 'over' whatever set him off and continuing the tour. Gladio can feel sweat prickling at his neck and in his hair but despite a few alarm bells ringing in his head to abort mission, he jogs after him.
He's got to at least apologize, right? ]
Uh... don't tell me Kisame was another guest. [ Gladio attempts humor, but the lack of laughter even on his part betrays his caution. ]
