The page shifts a little from time to time, and after a while there are two sets of footsteps sounding down the corridor. The guard is being changed - and the one who had found her is here as well.
The replacement guard greets the previous shift warmly, and they converse for a short while. Mostly small talk, nothing really important - though the fact that they spoke a different, more archaic form of Japanese will be apparent.
And then, the door opens, and there is a third voice. A voice much calmer than the other two, pleasant and gentle.

"Has she awakened?"
"Not yet, my lord."
"... I see. Please call for me if she does."
