The Guardian:
Stanley notices Sairen do a bit of a double-take when he spots the same tapestry that Stanley noted.
But Sairen quickly shakes his head when he sees Stanley's reaction, as if to warn him from saying anything out loud. He takes out what Stanley has to imagine is his own sort of phone or personal comm, and aims it carefully at the tapestry to capture a picture. Then he nods toward the windows.
Stanley wonders exactly what Sairen is on about, but then notices that, in addition to the normal play of light and reflection from motion in the street beyond, there is some more subtle motion of shadow closer to the building. There's a good chance that someone is waiting outside -- not waiting for Stanley and Sairen in particular, most likely, but perhaps more of Huang's henchmen placed on guard to dissuade attention from passersby.
Stanley briefly considers starting a fire to distract the guard outside, but decides against it. A very risky and dangerous plan. Not only would it endanger the lives of everyone in the building, but for all Stanley knows it would spread to the other buildings.
It would be reasonable to assume, that the guard outside would report it if he noticed anything unusual. But to report it he would need to leave his post. Maybe they could throw something through the window, hide and wait for the guard to walk to the nearest entrance and then they could Or at the very least it would cause a distraction.
Sairen was worried that the guard could hear them, so Stanley tries to communicate his plan with gestures. He mimics picking up a rock from the ground and throwing it at the window. He hopes Sairen gets what he is trying to say and that there is actually something small and solid enough nearby.
