Kiht's disbelief was typical, did she deserve her place in the Red Wings? In her mind no, not in the least, but she was theirs and they were hers, and that meant everything to her. It was why she continued speaking with fervor even after the outburst, watching the nuances in Kiht's expression as she took it all in with disbelief and anger it seemed. Siha winced when the woman had another outburst, but she was right, the whole situation stunk and she couldn't quite believe it herself. Ul'dah wasn't what she had thought it could be, the Flames were not the allies she would hoped they would be, and her father in them was forever ruined...especially knowing this was not the first time this had happened.
"They only do what they think is right...I suppose. Someone on the inside has either paid very good money for this, or something with clout is very angry with us. Either way the Flames are not our allies and who knows if they will be even after we prove we are not the traitors they seem to think we are. I don't know if I would want them to be, this is apparently not the first time they've done this to Erik...for them not to have learned...well they obviously have no love for him or our unit."
She smiled tightly, it was hard to take pleasure in any of it, but in that moment she was proud to know the Keeper woman that stood before her. It was no wonder Roen prized her as a sister. "Thank you, it means the world to have you at our side, to have friends that we can trust" she opened her mouth to say more after a pause but never got the chance. Over the smell of salt and the thudding water she'd not smelled nor heard the male Miqo'te until he came into view on his own. It set her on edge and the woman threw her hands up, aether already shimmered along their length, green and turbulent winds in nature.
Hands were held up in peace on his end, his comments flustered her and heat rose to her face but she resolutely set her jaw and kept her arms held in such a way she could fling the wind at him if need be. "Who are-" he kept talking and she flipped her ears back, watching him warily as he moved ever closer to her, she would be surprised if Kiht didn't react badly just as she was currently. Trusting everyone wasn't an option right now. However the name Tempest rang with her...hadn't Clio warned her. Her hands eased down to her sides slowly and she gave Kiht a look that asked that she stay her hand for the moment, when the name Lumiere joined the other her eyes widened and her mouth dropped just a little. "Erik..." she breathed softly and then held up a hand at Kiht.
"I know who sent him" she said with a bit more volume and nodded to the male, he was an ally, for now. "Just a few more moments sir," she turned her eyes to Kiht again and smiled in a strained fashion again, "one of my allies that was split up with me sent him, we can trust her. I believe for now we would require your help to capture this...Bandit...that accosted us and set this whole thing in motion. I believe my ally has more information on a plan for such a thing...and I trust you enough to think it would be fine to bring you to wherever it is we currently hide, that is if it's not been forbidden" her eyes turned to Youkio curiously and she blinked once. They had been forbidden the use of their pearl so perhaps this male was the best way to communicate with Clio for the moment.
