There was never a misunderstanding, just an apology if it seemed too much like a consession. Hama isn’t going to take it back, she’s even ensuing panic with her words of half truths, it’s no mistake, it’s a tactic.
Well yeah but that wasn't what you intended with the initial reply was my point more than anything. You assumed it was a concession from Kakashi and rolled with it. Now it's just a save face kinda thing which does make Hama look fantastic at Kakashi's expense who now he looks like a moron.
I get your position and completely understand, just hope you get why I am not an initial fan of the set up or context that led to it.
