Maxed out cooking? Black Cats? Only now wondering about the single handed sword style? Doesn't sound like people who know each other well at all.

A lot of their interaction was not combat related after the initial floors and there aren't really moments where Kirito or Asuna have a chance to pry about details.
Kirito knew Asuna cooked, but didn't realize she'd MAXED cooking.
Kirito isn't going to just casually mention the Black Cats to everyone, that's ammo a less kind person could use against him.
You're not really going to pay attention to fine details when you're fighting for your life, but when you HAVE a moment you might spot.. or work up the nerve to ask about.. something that's been bugging you. (As a note, Kirito tends to use a sword that is a little on the large side, it's still a 1h sword, but at first glimpse someone might mistake it for a 2h sword. Until you've FOUGHT with him closely you might miss that he's not using a shield when he could.)
The questions Asuna and Kirito are going over in the leadup to this arc are actually pretty intimate in context.
