Does that not-whisper penetrate past the heavy door and the binding enchantment into the cell beyond it? Hard to say. It's possible that the door is too thick, or that the spell work is too complex. Or maybe the person behind the door isn't listening. Or they're ignoring her. The lack of reply stretches out long enough so as to be definitive—
It comes at the right moment, right when she's started to despair of hearing anything at all in response. She's nearly turned away, and then there's that rap - and she doesn't think for a moment that it's a coincidence.
"Hi," she says, a bit breathlessly, fingers hooking around the bars. "Can you talk? Rap two times if you can't. For whatever reason."
