[Her voice trails off, and she casts a wary glance around the underground room. With nothing left for her to ask of him and nothing left for him to explain to her, the family members are surely expecting Kaoru back soon with the news that Sen has been properly secured. A small knot of anxiety tightens in her stomach, but there isn't much she can do about that; escaping now would only serve to land him in very hot water.
Although she is loathe to be left alone here, what else can she do?]
You had best return to them for now. [She smiles again, her fingers nervously twisting into the fabric of her kimono. Her expression stays pleasant enough, because she's putting on a brave face, but she really doesn't want him to go.] I'll be right here... until Kimigiku comes for me, I'll make no effort to escape. [So he doesn't have to worry about the clan getting pissed about her running away on his watch.] ...thank you, for the lengths you have gone to in order to help me while I am here.
