[Because really, the desire to have told the guy to stay away from Hinata and from Lee had very nearly won out. Neji only hadn't wanted to backpedal in case it'd somehow come back and bite him. So instead he figures absently that he'll have the time later to sort things out. Wonders if it makes him a traitor for not striking out now that he has the chance. Thinks, again, that it's none of his business anymore. This was difficult.
Focusing more on the actions than on the man himself (but don't dare assume he'll lose sight of the Uchiha's posture), Neji then debates reacting at all to the mumbling.
Look surprised and confess he had no idea of the bag's contents, or feign disinterest and have the other wonder what an idiot he was for demanding something that wasn't there.
Some day he'll learn to quit the torment of over-thinking such ridiculously nuanced things. Not much time to school his expression into anything above the stone wall it's been anyway- Neji catches the bag with ease. Tilts his head to one side and
A monster growls, but isn't yet seen. The audience (they can't be hurt, what do they care?) starts cheering. Loudly.

Perfect.]
How charitable.
