You would also know not to underestimate a potential enemy, no matter how harmless he seemed. Remember that he opened his "talk" by posing a hypothetical ambush he might be part of, and explaining how the target could be inside the ramen stand.

Ryozan took a seat at the ramen stand, leaving an empty chair between Matsuka and himself, and ordered a small bowl. He wasn't very hungry, but it would look ridiculous if he sat down at a stand without ordering anything. He doubted that Matsuka would recognize a new Jounin like himself, so he figured it would be up to him to break the ice. "This has been some strange weather, hasn't it senpai?" he said in a calm, even voice. He looked over at the woman to see her reaction, unsure if he ought to offer her a handshake or not. Introductions were always rather awkward for him.

No, no he didn't chukkle. He talked about the weather. Then you went on a 'BETTER HIDE THAT SEAL SON CAUSE WE KILLS THEM EMPIRE FOLK ROUND THESE PARTS!' path and THEN you started talking about hypothetical stuff like 'If I WAS an Empire guy, would I do this?'.

Come on Chukkle, just admit Matsuka be trippin'.
