[This is, somehow, more awkward than that other conversation.
Shikamaru leaves it hanging at that for a while. Long enough to check with the others; to know for sure. Long enough to mull it over some more as he comes along a hidden place in the mountains where he can rest for awhile. Let his guard down and think. Hopefully long enough for Asuma to talk to Clive (that was the name of that kid, when he looked).
When he finally responds again, hours later, it's in writing instead.]

You know what I'm going to do, right?
