Clever. Guy evidently does have the deductive powers of Sherlock Holmes or mind reading. Kaya figured that it was worth letting him know.
"Feels... Somewhat refreshing yet unprotected."

Kakeru chuckled. So he was right all along. "Is that so?" he said, looking at the girl. "Pray tell, then," he demanded. "What's the reason for such anonymity?" he asked.

Is he really asking this?

"I prefer not to have others know who I really am. It seems to be inconvenient to have enemies know who I really am. That and the whole idea of an enemy without a visible face adds to the intimidation factor."

Ticking her head to the side, Kaya asked him,
"So why do you not bother with hiding yourself? Last thing your enemies see?"

Kakeru shrugged. It's been a while since the last time he spoke something about this. "Well, how do you put it..." he began. "You see... sometimes, there are people who find thrill while having the threat of death looming over them. One of them is me," he admitted. "I don't really mind if my enemies know about me. There are several people who want me dead, but I don't really care about that. The only time when I feel truly alive is the time when someone is trying to take my life..." he sighed.

"Not a healthy way of life, isn't it?" he smiled slightly.

Interesting way to look at things.

"Pathetic, is what I say."

Well, everyone's entitled to their opinions.
"I guess I can sort of understand. The thrill of it putting it all for a good reason. I'm not someone who can call herself a woman of peace and that... Sorta makes me a hypocrite considering certain things...

Furrowing her brow, the small frown that Kaya almost always wore on her face grew deeper as she thought about it. She has thought about how God would think of her. She liked to think that she was a crusader of the night who embraced the light. Then again, so did folks in the 2nd Century who butchered innocents. She was certain that she always directed her blade at the right targets but...

Shaking herself out of the trance, Kaya returned to the subject at hand.
"As I see it, we're thrillseekers. I just take precautions."

Kakeru chuckled. "Thrillseekers? You have that right, Kaya-san," he said. "But, perhaps I need to take a leaf out of your book and follow your example. Living this way isn't good for a good run," he closed his eyes.

"Hmm... True. Especially if you've got any loved ones. By the way, how's your friend?"

Kaya was curious on the condition of Isoroku. Hopefully she's alive and safe. Still, she had the feeling that this might be a touchy subject...

"She's..." Kakeru remembered the letter Isoroku left to him before she went out for a sabbatical journey to search her true self. It was painful for him to think about such thing, and he couldn't even search for her (or she might hate him for the rest of his life). "...she's good."

The pause indicates that something's happened. It's what Kaya would do.
"I... See."

Still, she decided that prying was probably a bad idea. She'll assume that she's recuperating, but she also had the feeling that anything's possible.

Hearing from her tone, Kakeru know that Kaya seemed to realize that something was wrong, but he sighed in relief as she didn't press any further into the matter. It better be left unspoken.

"So, is there anything else I can help you?" the former assassin asked.
