Kali stood in shock, but kept his ground as the Sultansworn verbally dressed down his earlier speech. His mouth was a flat line, eyes looking up at the woman with a mixture of wonder and terror. It was the closest he'd been personally to one of the Royal Guard, let alone have one approach him to respond.
....best. Show. EVER.
"Well!" ,he replied into the talkywand after a pause which saw the woman march off. "Let it never be said, despite what papers will tell, that the Sultansworn are blind to the plights of the people in all of Ul'dah." He let out a sigh as the bubble of energy Roen was emitting was out of his sphere of personal influence.
"I should perhaps take this moment to clarify, my listeners. My earlier mention of this divide between the Monetarists and refugees was not meant to belittle the gravity of a very real situation. More to perhaps extol the virtues that built this city--of hard work and improving your fortunes. And it is this host's hope that those who want the most are able to make their way upwards in life."
His voice lowered to a bit of a mutter at this point: "...so long as those who hold the opportunities make them more openly available."
No, despite the Paladin's outburst, Kali was not entirely blind to all that befell Ul'dah. But that wasn't his focus. The city needed to be reminded of what makes it great. As did his listeners. Thus...
"Excuse me, friend! Hi, I'm Kali Kalrath, the Lalafell on the Path! Would you please tell my linkpearl listeners what you like most about Ul'dah?"
