[Gen's a light sleeper that can also slip back into sleep without much trouble, a skill developed during years of watching her own back in squats and alleyways that now allows her to get adequate rest no matter what Mike gets up to throughout the night.
Hearing him speak more than two words at once is strange, though. Is someone here? No, just Mike speaking and pausing, speaking and pausing - yeah, sounds like a phone call. She's about to doze back off when she hears her own name and her eyes pop back open.
Immediately, she's up and out from under the table and creeping toward the back room's door. She eases it open a crack but instead of risking a squeaky hinge by opening it wide enough to sneak through, she just listens at the slim little gap for now.]
