"What are you doing?" Issei asks, one hand on his sword.

Kiritsugu doesn't tense up: he's far too controlled for that, and anyway, Issei hasn't been judged an enemy. Still, he doesn't want to admit that he's been checking out the dungeon for the best way to blow it up, either. "Patrolling," he answers, as close to honestly as he can get.

Issei seems to fall for it. "By yourself? You should really take someone with you during the Dark Hour. I'll accompany you for the rest of the night."

"That isn't necess-"

He's interrupted. "I would be sorely remiss in allowing you to be hurt through trying to do everything by yourself, Kiritsugu-ojisan."

That does cause the tiniest of starts: Issei isn't the kind to lightly address any older man as an uncle, nor is Kiritsugu the type to receive this address. After smiling slightly and nodding in thanks, Kiritsugu lets Issei lead him around the island, still focused on his plans and watching out for Shadows and not on how much he really needs to do by himself.
