[When Kaoru goes to check, he'll find nothing more than friendly woodland creatures who have apparently been alerted to the presence of a princess! The animals must think they're in a Disney movie or something, gosh.
That disturbance aside, there is nothing else to bother them during their creepy underground picnic and the rest of the visit passes peacefully enough until Kaoru heads back to the compound and Sen settles in for what is undoubtedly going to be a very long night. Time passes - how much of it she isn't entirely certain, given that she's being kept underground; has it been days or even a whole week? - and life goes on. Somewhere, she's sure, Kimigiku is on her way here.
Right at this moment, however, there is something that interrupts the routine. A servant on their rounds stops to clean Kaoru's room. This is nothing new - but the fact that the servant is clumsy and manages to trip and dislodge a floorboard is. Privacy is a rare commodity in the Nagumo household, and Kaoru doesn't get much of it. The servant goes rooting through the space under the board and comes away with the pouch Sen had given to him.
Now this is something that, by all rights, shouldn't be here. The very same servant recalls retrieving an identical pouch from the reception room the day they had taken Sen captive, and he is certain it hasn't been returned to him. Which means... well, something sneaky is going on here. The servant abandons his cleaning and exits the room to go turn the pouch in to the head of the family.
On the way, he passes Kaoru and smirks as he nods to the pouch.]
