It wan't like the stranger looked shady or anything! They definitely seemed like the type of people that would give poor, lost orphans direction. Like Ryou was even sure serial killers would go out of their way to help orphan. Unless their target was primarily orphan. But there was seriously a low rate of people being born sociopath and Ryou would even mention the exact number of sociopath born out of so-and-so number. Except that only seemed fodder for Kii to keep denying a plea for help. And, well, Ryou slightly trusted Kii more than he trusted himself, so he surrendered. He tried to offer Kii some food as a peace offering but it didn't really go as planned.
Ryou answered the questions, keeping his answer close enough to the truth that maybe the lies wouldn't be detected. At least Ryou hoped they wouldn't be. Beside, they were children. Child normally weren't that suspicious. It wasn't like they were adults. Adult ninja were much easier to spot. There was just something about seeing too much and doing too much that would show in adult. He'd seen this in his own parent and quite a few ninja in Iwagakure. Being adult, despite the capability someone had to still dream and hope, there was a sense of wonder that was simply lost. So, Ryou smiled stretched from ear-to-ear and rambled about how awesome being in Konoha was going to be and how he heard they had the best ramen.
Once they were dismissed from the questioning, Ryou followed after Shira and Kii. Someone staying with Shira... Ryou watched Kii, waiting for any telltale sign that Kii wanted to do this. However, Kii never volunteered. Ryou didn't see this a Kii trying to get rid of them in a mean way, but he was pretty suspicious that was exactly what he was trying to do. Ryou really couldn't blame him though. If Ryou had finally gotten in touch with a friend he hadn't seen in literally forever, he'd probably be doing the exact same thing. "I'll stay with Shira~" He volunteered just as Shira sprinted to the ramen stand. He patted Kii on the shoulder before turning around and heading to the ramen shop. It'd probably look like a friendly gesture and, in a way it was. This was if someone considered 'I'll-turn-you-into-a-zombie-if-you-die-I-don't-care-how-many-people-I'll-have-to-sacrificed' as a friendly gesture.
"You like ramen, Shira~?"
