[Random Knuckleheaded Mook 1 sure does try his best...
THAT SAID, Kaoru sure did have enough time to slip into his futon and has even managed to settle down into what's basically par for the course for his sleeping position. His heart is still hammering a mile a minute in his ribcage and he can't seem to get a hold of his breathing as well as he'd like, but there isn't much he can do for that before he hears the rush of footsteps and the door sliding open. He's already sitting up by the time they're demanding his wakefulness, but that likely won't seem too strange to them, considering it's pretty well known through the house that Kaoru is one of the lightest sleepers on the compound.]
What—? Has there been another intruder?!
[Probably a little too alert-sounding for someone who was just rudely jostled awake, but they don't seem to take notice of it. One strides over to yank the covers of his futons back, though he's met with an indignant-sounding shriek from Kaoru. Nothing will be found there, though; he was smart enough to wear socks outside and has neatly discarded them in a corner of his room that isn't often searched.
Despite his indignation and the fact that he still seems quite ruffled and displeased, he doesn't have quite the same noble air and pride that Sen does, so he simply sits silent and waits for the search to be completed.
Back with Sen, the family member looks like he may try for a second to speak with her, but he's smart enough to know that they won't get any information out of her without resorting to measures he'd rather not lean on just yet. Instead, he turns his attention back to the guard.
There was a cat wandering around in the front courtyard late last night.
If Sen's listening, their conversation will drift off toward speculation that it's the cat that caused all of that hassle before, and that not a single trace of an actual intruder had been found.]
