[Her rank literally comes from her status as a demonic broodmare so really she's quite alright without having rooms befitting her status. THAT SAID...
Once he leaves, she immediately rolls up the sleeves of her fancy kimono (were she in Tosa, she would most certainly be getting some lecture about how such behavior is unseemly and how she needs to take better care of her clothing and let the servants do such menial tasks themselves) and gets to work. It's been years since she's had to do such a thing and so it takes a little more time than she would like to pull out the futon and rearrange what's in the room already into a small, pale imitation of what her room had been when she had lived here; some things she can't reproduce, but when she's done - well, she's happy with the result. It feels good, to have gone through the motions on her own like this... like she's really, truly come home.
After dusting off her kimono (because even with how clean Kaoru was, some dust did permeate the air as she was working, she makes her way to the kitchen. Once she reaches it, she pauses outside and calls out, because Kaoru really hadn't wanted her to see it, so she supposes she should give him the chance to let her know if it's okay for her to enter or not.]
Yukimura-san? I've finished. Is it alright for me to come in..?
