[There's a little bit of relief in Kaoru's voice when he speaks up, equally quiet. Even speaking at his lowest volume he still feels like his voice echoes far too loudly, but there isn't much he can do about that, and he wants to check on Sen.

The fact that she's up and speaking at all is a pretty good sign. Honestly, he wasn't sure what to expect when he was marched away from her room that night. The clan on a whole can be a little difficult to predict, swinging wildly from one extreme to another without much warning. Part of him had feared the worst by way of mistreatment, and he had been kept up most of the night with that concern. It's a good thing then, he thinks, that his soft volume and the thick wood between them will likely mask any traces of exhaustion in his tone.]

[He doesn't exactly have guards around his room, but he does get unexpected visitors at times, which can make sneaking around a little hard.]

Were you able to get the bag?
