[@Holy Grail] Human-wise, the Empire would probably see the Xenor as a threat, due to their military capabilities and their philosphies being pretty much opposite to each other (the humans being oppressive and conversative, the Xenor being more open-minded). Of the Assar-Rhen, Kyriarka in particular would hold some respect for Kriisha. The similarities are there: both are matriarchal leaders from a single-gendered species, with an emphasis on martial strength and off-shoots of the humsn race. And considering the way Kyriarka thinks, respect is probably the best anyone can get from her.
