[Kaoru politely bows! and stands a little farther from the door than a person normally might, because the last thing anyone needs is to feel like they might get bludgeoned by a surprise stranger.]

I apologize, but some have come to the conclusion that it would benefit us all if we emptied our chloroform bottles together. Would that be an agreeable idea to you?

[tsarcasm]

Right. I heard about that. [ She looks up and down the hallway, frowning. ]

So... how do we go about it, then? Sorry, it's not that I don't like the idea, but you can probably understand that I'm just a little reluctant to leave my room and go off with some stranger.

[considering how paranoid everyone else has been, Kaoru isn't at all surprised by that. THERE IS A PLAN IN PLACE!! kind of... part of the plan includes chucking the chloroform at the fence to see if it melts though apparently, so it may not be the best.]

You do not need to apologize, caution in this situation is wise. I could take your bottle to Miss Sto Helit myself, or I could return with a person of your choosing if you would prefer to see its contents delivered. If neither sounds desirable to you, I could also go ahead and let Miss Sto Helit know that you will be down later in the day. We will not be emptying the bottles until all are accounted for, after all.

[tsarcasm]

If I give you my bottle now, who's to say you aren't going to frame me later? [ Ordinarily it's the kind of thing she'd say as a joke, but she finds herself all too serious this time, regretting the words immediately. A pause as she looks down, shaking her head. ] That... I didn't mean... I shouldn't have said that. All right. If you could, let Miss Sto Helit know I'll be down later.

[though the words are harsh, Kaoru doesn't seem bitter over it. understanding - that's what shows through the most in the mildly apologetic smile that's offered to her.]

That is why I assumed you would be appreciative of the other options, miss. I have no desire to harm anyone here, but with only the word of a stranger like myself in a situation as dire as this, you are simply doing what you must to ensure your safety. Though I wish it was not necessary, it is still wise. [a nod.] I will let Miss Sto Helit know immediately, then.
