[HE ONLY SEEMS VAGUELY SURPRISED and it's only because Kaoru actually can't recall who Kimigiku is for a second. He's dimly aware that the Princess of Yase keeps a bodyguard at her side at all times, but hasn't ever cared enough about her or her situation to memorize much information there. Stalking Chizuru takes a lot of effort okay...
BUT IN THE MEANTIME he'll just continue to be the worst rescuer ever. He's too paranoid about waiting here to show any of the gentleness that he's gained over the years.]
She may still be alive. ["May", because his own season was a rare exception. He honestly doesn't know what happens to the people who died in the seasons before his own. Sure, some arrived in storage, but others...
He gestures with his knife over his shoulder.]
From the outside. Consider us a rebel faction. [And it's probably easy for her to see that even though his face is familiar, his clothing indicates that he belongs in a time even farther ahead than most of the shows are "set" in.] My sister wanted to come for you herself - Chizuru - but there's no way I'd let her.
