[There's a moment there where Isaac has absolutely no idea what to do with his expression. It's closer to blank-staring than the usual expression of surprise and anxiety. Kimblee hasn't snapped at him like this since Ishval, and they've certainly come a long way since then.
He doesn't respond to the question right away simply because his initial response is to say no and storm off. Part of the reason why he's always been so font of Kimblee is that Kimblee understands and he's patient with Isaac. He doesn't get frustrated and snap at Isaac for no reason he can see (although admittedly Isaac does sometimes miss very obvious reasons, which is what he hopes the case is here).
The fact that Kimblee is losing his patience put Isaac on edge. He's not fully aware of how tense he's gotten or just how long it's taking him to form an answer.]
...Yeah. Sure.
[He doesn't wait for Kimblee to respond, instead moving to leave the room and lead the way back to the room he woke up in. It isn't his room - it's Team Rocket's room. It's a room he's borrowing until he can figure out what to do about the organization. For the time being it seems he has nothing to do but play along and hope for the best. He's not powerful enough to take down Team Rocket on his own and even if he were to get help from the outside, Team Rocket's higher-ups could crush him before they'd have a chance to intervene. That's also assuming Isaac is socially competent enough to figure out just who opposes Team Rocket without flat-out asking.
Anyway, he enters the room and immediately makes his way to the back wall, leaning against it, arms folded. He's not aware he's mimicking Kimblee's usual stance. Isaac doesn't speak, waiting for Kimblee to offer some sort of explanation or excuse.]
