[Little do they know, he's hiding Daitsuren in the rafters... where the heck is Daitsuren kept, anyway??
Well, even if he did have it squirreled away somewhere rather than it being in the clutches of the Nagumo, it wouldn't help him now. Nothing stops him from being thrown into the room alongside Sen, and even when he is, she doesn't look up; she stays hunched over with her arms wrapped around herself, doing her best to muffle the whimpers of pain that the poison is drawing from her.
It's only a few minutes later, after the guards have taken their positions up outside the room (on the off-chance that Kaoru tries to make a break for it) and gotten all but settled in that she finally does look up.]
Ah..?
[Then she hadn't imagined it when she heard him being thrown in; she had thought perhaps it had been a hallucination. There isn't any sort of accusation in her expression, which is pained and strained - there is, however, a slight amount of confusion. A moment later, after it really sinks in that he's here, her brow creases in concern.]
They— didn't poison you too, did they..?
[She knows they didn't give her a full dose, and she's terrified they may have given the rest of it to him.]
