[Ah, it looks like the concern was really for naught in the end, then... Kaoru can almost taste the acridness of jealousy for a second, but tries to shake it, because it's a good thing Sen managed to dodge. He has to remind himself of it, an a year or so ago he may have been horrified by that, but it's simply the way he lives now - trying to avoid being consumed by those ill feelings.
The man, on the other hand, makes no move to take the bait she's laid out and simply goes to shut the door after she's in. She'll still be able to hear him say Don't let this woman out of your sight to the servants left behind, and then the sound of two sets of footsteps fading as Kaoru is led back off again. He'd have liked to say something first - and she may have caught sight of his concerned glance before the door was shut again - but he's wise enough to not bring attention to himself like that.
For now, it appears as though she'll be left alone to her meal.]
