Lacking in finesse or not, his behavior hit home. It wasn't Naruto's words - really, Neji had a fairly good idea what he was like when he was being purposefully mean to someone - rather than that sip of what he didn't quite want to believe was probably punch. As though he had forgotten where alcohol took them last time. As though this whole ordeal was not due to that little poison.
His frown and eye contact did not waver as he was scrutinized and neither did he retreat when Naruto invaded his personal space in that mockery of intimacy that easily caused his mood to drop a couple more fractions. To be honest, the closeness was giving him a handful of ideas, each more tempting than the other, all to be ignored like a good man would.
Oh, did being a good man ever pay off.
He could taste on Naruto's breath the many ways in which it didn't.
"My guess remains that you never learn," Neji replied, equally quietly, a lot more venomous than before. "Thankfully you don't seem to have rubbed off enough."
