[WELL THAT'S definitely a surprise... It's a good thing everyone else is so focused on finding these nonexistent intruders that they aren't really paying him much attention, because he's yet to master the art of maintaining a pokerface in any given situation and is left visibly startled by that sudden declaration. Is someone here? Had Sen been able to rifle through the records beforehand...?
That'd be a difficult feat, because as lax as the security had been, Sen certainly hadn't been without guard during her 24 hour wait. If she had tried to nose around, the entire compound would have been made aware of it quickly.]
Oh—! [There's Kaoru again, making a little noise of surprise as he's grabbed by the wrist and tugged over in the direction of the records room. AT LEAST HE'S GETTING HIS EXERCISE TONIGHT...
As for Sen and her unimpressive guards, they sure do seem to be riled by what she says. Not a one of them seems to even remotely suspect Kaoru, but that's also likely because Kaoru's never had the guts to do anything like this before for fear of retribution. He knows the punishment will be heavy if he is caught, but as far as he's concerned, being able to make it up to Sen even a small fraction is worth it.]
Then we'll just have to wipe 'em out! Doesn't matter how good they are at sneaking around if they bleed the same as anyone. Hey - maybe the boss would even use you as bait! String y'up in the courtyard by the ankles and kill anyone who tries to make a move!
[Taunting the prisoner without actually trying to get her back into the room GOOD WORK TEAM...
But even though the servants can be woefully inadequate by way of threat, apparently, it's equally clear that something about the clan proper functions well enough to keep them afloat amid all of the murky political and criminal waters they traverse. Whether it's care or proficiency in all the wrong areas, they're still around for a reason.]
