[Is Sen's quick follow-up to Kaoru's demand, which the Nagumo clan member in front of them doesn't seem too bothered by. As far as he's concerned she can shout until she's blue in the face (or, you know, dead) and it won't really matter - because if she wastes her time shouting, she'll die, and they'll take Kaoru back. If she gives Kaoru up and returns to Yase, they'll take Kaoru back and he may not trust her anymore even if she survives.
Either way, Kaoru is still theirs. That's the reason for the smugness in his expression, and Sen notices it and is rather offended by it.]
Do you think this is funny? You must—
[She's cut off by a violent cough, though; she turns her head so that she doesn't cough on Kaoru's kimono, which is good, because a moment or two later the ground is splattered with blood. She brings a hand up to her mouth in shock and tries to muffle the coughing.
The man rolls his eyes.]
You're running out of time. Tell you what, brat - you walk to me. I'll take your arm and you'll set her down, and you and I will walk back to the compound together while she waits for her bodyguard.
[Sen shakes her head, but can't protest above her coughing. The "No" is plain to see in her eyes, though.]
