[Oona, for all her flaws, is not terribly stupid. While he may not be able to pick on the most subtle of subtle hints, she's good at body language and--generally--reading people (even if her own biases often cloud her judgement, she doesn't think that's the case here). Reading between the lines is a new thing for her, coming from a place where lies were too small to matter, or nonexistent.
But she can see--or she thinks she can see, anyhow--what Kaoru's hinting at. And if she's right... Why was he bothering to hide? It doesn't make sense to her, someone who loudly and proudly proclaims her non-human nature.
She squints, as if trying to read through Kaoru, before she gives a hum of acknowledgement.] Why keep it secret? Do not understand. Why let them think another way?
