[Maybe, maybe not. Takane had been overseas for most of her life, and on top of that, isolated within the Shijou estate until recently, so she did have quite a bit of ignorance regarding the outside world. From his mannerisms, and the words they exchanged, she could at least infer that he was of similar social standing as her, if not more. However, with the predicament they had at hand, she could hardly see how that was relevant.
Interestingly, she also noted how she hadn't been recognized how dare you not know of her glorious weekly ramen documentary series, assuming that he was also from Japan, but there were many ways for her to rationalize that away, the most primary one being that she still had a long way to go in terms of her career.]
You need not worry about me. I've developed quite a good sense of balance thanks to a bit of Spartan-esque training, you see.
[And so they advance, hand in hand, towards the mouth of the cave. However, Takane stops in her tracks suddenly mere centimeters before the darkness, raising her free hand towards the sky...
Then brings it down forward dramatically and sharply, as if commanding some imaginary army to charge onward.]

[ECHOOOO!!! Echooooo.... Echoooo... Once the reverberation of her voice dies within the cave's depths, she turns to look at Eichi, a Deadly Serious(TM) look on her face.]
... It seems that it is not occupied, Tenshouin-sama.
[In contrast to their coquettish banter only seconds earlier, she was not joking around this time. She wanted to be courteous. Just in case something was in there. It would be rude to just walk into someone's home unannounced, wouldn't it?! Good thing it wasn't someone's home. My word, that would be so embarrassing.]
