[Sen does notice the rather suspicious lack of sound once he steps outside, and it leaves her ill at ease - it certainly drives home how utterly strange Kaoru's circumstances are, if the way he is dressed doesn't do enough of that as it is. That she hears the soft tones of Kaoru's voice but no verbal reply from the servant before his footsteps proceed down the hall concerns her, as well.
Even she can't go freely exploring this compound, though; she'll have to stay where she is. And so as Kaoru makes his way down the hall in search of anyone who might have so rudely interrupted their conversation, she stays right where she is.
He won't see anyone right away as he walks, but as he nears a corner to turn he'll hear voices. In contrast to the ones that were loud enough to hear before, these are somewhat hushed - he'll have to get much closer before he can make out any of the words.
"—fishy about that messenger." "Would she really come in person, though?"
