[Small miracles... It's probably a little much to hope that the Mook will get assigned to move her and accidentally wind up turning her loose outside, huh.
Sen hears that man's words loud and clear, but if either he or the guard hopes for a reaction, they'll be sorely disappointed; the only sound that comes from inside her room is the rustling of her futon covers as she pulls them over herself. She's to be moved, at some point today. Moved to where? There aren't many options she can come up with that are good.
She'll have to find some way of smuggling the food Kaoru had brought to her into wherever her new prison is. That, or eat it before they come in to move her; if they find it here, that would prove disastrous. She also can't let them find the second silk bag she has tucked into her obi... that would be even worse.
She won't be able to sleep after hearing that. Adrenaline leaves her far too alert, and as time passes, she opts to eat the food discreetly and tuck the cloth it had been wrapped in into her obi as well. If it happens to be found, she'll simply claim it came with her from Yase.
By the time they get around to coming in to move her, she is knelt by the low table again. She raises her head to look at whoever is assembled for the move, quickly scanning the group to see if Kaoru is among them. Part of her doubts it, but she can't help but hope. Even if he's there, though, her expression is severe; she may be more frightened than she wants to admit even to herself, but she certainly won't show it to this clan.]
Well? Where is it that you have decided to move me to?
