That would mean he’ll receive punishment soon. It was technically his fault for the whole thing plus he never really tried to return to them. They would be furious with him. Perhaps enough to perform dissection.

With the though of perhaps being able to make punishment lighter for him, he moved closer to whatever had caused the sound.
