The dramatic entrance. Seriously, are theater classes a prerequisite for being a shifty pain in the ass, or are guys like you just naturally over-the-top?
[>:( YOU WANT "SUSPICIOUS", THEN HERE IT IS, embodied by a smartmouthed fourteen-year-old. The only way Itachi could scream "villain" at him any louder would be if he unveiled some harebrained plan for the destruction of the universe. It's bad enough the dude has a cape, for fuck's sake. (Okay, so it's actually a cloak, but whatever. SAME DIFFERENCE.)
Yusuke goes on, his voice cool.]
But all right, Itachi. If you're just curious, then how come you're trying to mess with peoples' heads? You can't just say "oh, I'm only curious" when you're goin' off on some dumb rant about how Pokemon battles are cruel and how this badge collecting thing is stupid. I mean, you could, but it's pretty easy to tell you're bullshitting.
[Yusuke may not be as into this Pokemon thing as some of the people here are - seriously, about the only reason why he's participating in it is because he figures he'd have too much time on his hands if he did otherwise - but like hell he's gonna put up with what he's perceiving as some snooty, sanctimonious weirdo trying to guilt-trip and get all superior at people just 'cause they're doing what they can to adapt to this damn place. It's one thing if you just don't get the appeal; it's another if you're acting like you're hot shit for it. What the hell was up with that sigh at the end, anyway? "Oh, I SUPPOSE I should give you my name." Yeah, as if anyone was even asking, freak show.
(To be fair, Yusuke might be acting a little hypocritical, here: after all, he still can't help but find the level of complacency amongst some of the people who've been here a really long time kind of alarming, and as for people who get here and are all excited about it right off the bat, yeah, he's not gonna pretend to understand them, either. But at least he's not going around telling them they shouldn't get invested in this Pokemon Master crap, and while, uh, technically Itachi isn't really doing that either, it's the dismissive, high-handed attitude he's putting on that's really chafing Yusuke's rear and leading him to think that Itachi's big speech is just one big guilt-trip. Taking all of this into consideration, it wouldn't be off-base to speculate that the root of Yusuke's ire has less to do with what Itachi's asking so much as it does with the way he's asking it. He's never been a huge fan of shady dudes questioning his motives, you see: after all, it's usually those types of guys that end up being the ones set on doing horrible shit to him or to people he knows.
EITHER WAY YOU LOOK AT IT, THOUGH, one thing is clear, and that is that Yusuke? Is totally not having any of this manipulative bullcrap. Shut Up, Hannibal!)]
