It's why, even though neither one of them seems to be angry or upset, she creeps a little closer. Luckily, the late-night vendors are easy enough to tune out even when she looks as though she is paying attention to them. It's a simple enough matter to make a show of looking over some wares from a store that, hopefully, is within earshot of the conversation Kaoru and the older man are having.
She doesn't look at them, though; she keeps her gaze on the wares, both to make it seem as though she isn't eavesdropping and to be sure Kaoru doesn't recognize her. She would recognize his voice anywhere, so it's okay if she isn't looking.]
