[Sen is a shithead of many talents who just wanted to get some light reading done while she waited...
Okay, no. When Kaoru and his retinue make it to the records room, they'll find that it's actually in a rather severe state of disarray, which it definitely was not earlier or else someone would have raised the alarm much sooner. Papers are strewn about haphazardly; some are ripped, while others are intact. There are shards of a shattered vase on the ground, intermixed with water and now-crushed flowers.
(There is also a mouse under the floorboards, squeaking in terror even though the cat that had been chasing it is long gone.)
Meanwhile, Sen merely rolls her eyes at the guards, utterly unimpressed.]
Quite frankly, no one who works for me would be incompetent enough to fall for such an obvious trap.
[She isn't unaware that although she may not have had a hard time pulling the wool over their eyes temporarily, the Nagumo clan is more capable than she is giving them credit for. Still, she has a little too much pride to let them reduce her to a trembling captive. That is a sight she won't allow anyone to see, now or ever.
Her expression hardens.]
And might I remind you... I was subdued because I was taken by surprise. [Dishonorable tactics!!] There are no entrances behind me in this room. Just as you will see if I make a run for it... I will see if you try to take me anywhere I do not wish to go. [And then, her voice is like ice - ] Feel free to attempt it, if you wish to experience the power of the bloodline of Suzuka Gozen firsthand. I have my doubts that you, personally, will live to regret it.
[The clan in general might be able to overpower her, but they can't all fit into this small room. With the door as a stopgap, she is certain she could defend herself quite well before becoming exhausted.]
