[Sen has a few different ideas as to why this room exists, and she doesn't like a single one of them. It is no secret in demonic society that the Nagumo clan is more than a little twisted and has been for generations - so really, she can't say she's surprised. She ignores the pounding in her head and looks toward the lone door.

So this is it, then. She really has made a spectacular mess of things... It will be a few weeks before she can return to Yase. The princess has no doubt at all in Kimigiku's willingness and ability to come and save her, though she really isn't looking forward to the inevitable lecture.

She has nothing she wishes to say to whoever the voices beyond the door belong to. In fact, she would greatly prefer it if they didn't realize that she's woken up at all, so she stays quiet as she shifts herself into a kneeling position at the side of the low table and tries to think of what she can do to occupy herself in the days until Kimigiku arrives. Since she's in the middle of the lion's den, she might as well try and get some useful information, but she just has to figure out how...

That gentle tapping draws her out of her thoughts, and her brow furrows as she looks in the direction of the sound. Her imagination, perhaps? But there it is again, and this time it's accompanied by a voice -

Kaoru.

She glances warily at the door, but they don't seem to have noticed, so she carefully and quietly makes her way to the outer wall. When she calls back to him, her voice is also low, and it's accompanied by a light tapping of her knuckles on wood.]

Please... Just "Sen" is fine.

[She doesn't want him calling her "Princess" when she's the reason he's been injured.]

First of all - [She can't ask him if he's okay. He's clearly not, after what they did to him.] Are you sure speaking with me is... safe? I don't wish to cause more trouble for you than I already have.
