[God. In a few years, once Chizuru steps in and rescues her from ronin when she really doesn't need rescuing, Sen is going to look back on this moment and think to herself that in spite of all their differences in the present day, the twins really were cut from the same cloth.
For now, though - she's grateful. Surprised, and worried, but... grateful. Most people take her reassurances that she's just fine and she can handle it at face value. Kimigiku doesn't always, but only because she's been with her for so long that she knows her better than mot. But Kaoru... maybe it's because he know firsthand what sort of treatment the Nagumo clan can dish out, or maybe he's just kind. But he isn't letting her brush this all off as "just fine," and he's doing his best to help her.
That sort of kindness is something to be treasured.]
I'll leave it to you, then. You have my gratitude.
[He knows the ins and outs of this clan better than she does. She just hopes that he doesn't wind up in trouble by associating with her, since she's already sort of in the doghouse, as it is.]
