[ When the door opens but the only thing that follows are words, Itachi allows his guard to come down a notch. Still up, but a lack of imminent danger means he doesn't need to jump straight to defensive maneuvers. For the moment, he doesn't bother acknowledging any differences between the Sasuke he remembers and the one before him now -that part will come later- but the offer of entering makes him raise an eyebrow.
What could Sasuke possibly have to say to him that can't be said as they are now? ]
There is nothing I have to say that hasn't already been said.
[ As far as he knows, the lies are still intact. He hadn't imparted anything to him, besides the unspoken implanting of his own jutsu in Sasuke's eye. Because of that belief, the only reason he'd sought him out was for confirmation of his suspicions.
Unless, of course, Sasuke had a reason for inquiring as to his whereabouts and providing him a location. They've never been normal siblings, so the idea of having a perfectly normal conversation doesn't actually cross his mind. ]
