[At first he doesn't know what to say to that- less because he doesn't want to play Cassian's game (he does), and more because one of the very reasons he'd kept this identity a secret is just so Cassian couldn't ID him. Almost as... a security measure. If Cassian didn't know who he was, then it would mean no one else would- it would mean he could navigate a situation that might require the physical identity of someone completely unrecognizable.
(But was that discrediting Cassian's ability to act like he's never seen him before, if he did know?)
He knows, however, as a droid that he was easily picked out of a crowd of other KX units. His words would give him away, as would his movements, and if all else failed, Cassian knew where he had rings of rust and chipped paint.]
It's harder to calculate cost-benefits in this form. I have to actually concentrate.
[This does sound like it could be a good test of his own observation and ability to duplicate human behavior skills. The one who knows him best might even be able to pick out his stride, as a human. If that's true, then there isn't even a point in hiding who he is- Cassian would just know.]
Fine. If you win, then you'll get to see my awful human form.

[Cassian's openly smiling; Kay would be able to tell just from tone of voice.]
Thanks, Kay. I needed something to focus on. This is a good one.

I'd prefer the optimal experiment. Your choice.

De Chima plaza, by the large fountain on first floor. I'll stay within a 20 meter diameter of it. Within the next two hours?
