And yet you persist, Alphonse-kun, with only a kin slayer's word that I have, at the moment no interest in harming you or your loved ones? Why?
Wouldn't anyone look surprised and thrown if a person who was only supposed to be five years their junior suddenly became something close to fourteen years their junior? And apparently lost all memories of relevant events leading to their current tone of relationship.
Perhaps I simply do not find him worth killing, Alphonse-kun. Do you know why I killed our clan? Do you have any idea? Or do you simply know that I am the one who killed Sasuke's beloved family and left him alive among their corpses?
I gain by his hate; if he can hate me strongly enough to go through with what I want of him. And, apparently, he gains by his hate as well. He claims to have killed me, in the future, and that feat is not something I think he could accomplish without hating me very much indeed.
((OOC: Itachi's just like "OH SHIT. Is my cover blown THAT EASILY?" And is falling back on good old tried and true lying through his teeth.))
