They were strikingly different, he quickly began to notice. She seemed exactly like the kind of air-headed women that he had always hated. So it was with distaste that he nodded, suppressing a grimace; He couldn't possibly expect some like her to understand.
He wondered, albeit absently, if she had any inclination of what he was capable of-- if she had any idea the kind of person he was, but he knew enough to assume that she didn't. Not like it'd be held against her, at any rate. Kira was a master at what he did, after all. Hiding from the law for so long, perfect in his outward appearance, had perfected his tricks.
Swoodie? Kira was many things, but being in tune with the slang of the younger crowd was not one of them, not by far. "I'd disagree- The crazy would want plenty to do with you. Regardless, I gave my word to protect you from those sorts, so I'll do that. Just don't go throwing yourself into anything precarious, hm?"
Really, even if she does, he's got no problem with leaving her to die. There's no record of them ever coming into contact, especially since he's wisely refused payment. Yoshikage Kira would safe, no matter what may come from this odd girl. Though maybe his intuition was wrong, though it almost never was, and maybe she was as innocent as anyone could be, not in the least bit suspicious. But did he really want to take that risk? Absolutely not.
He would confirm the simple statement with a nod, as if that somehow gave him more power-- more dominance. It didn't, and he was more than aware of that fact. Even still, Kira couldn't help but feel giddy over the prospect, wetting dried lips with a pause. That last time he had done something so risky was when he had spent some. . . time with a nice couple he encountered a few months ago. A shamethat they went 'missing' after, truly.
"Kira. You can call me Kira, ma'am."
The title felt awkward and heavy on his tongue, but he uttered it with a dangerous smile nevertheless. Roxie. That's who she was. Now, he had a name to place with the face and he would do well not to forget it, as would she. In the back of his mind, he noted that, just like he did, the name she gave him was nothing too personal; it was nothing that could be used to trace back to a life outside of the one created. It was sly, subtle even, and appreciated.
"You want to go now? Very well-- I suppose I have no right to question you. It's right this way, if you'll follow me."
And so he would set a pace for the two, chewing on his lower lip idly, unused to the prospect of small talk. Kira didn't often spend time with others, especially outside of work, and though he did his best, he couldn't make himself adept at social interaction so easily. Oh well.
