A chill ran through her body as the smoke dissipated and the surprisingly adept 'thief' vanished like he was nothing more than a bad dream. But to Krile, that threat was real. Had she invoked the wrath of someone she possibly couldn't handle later on? Was she going to be pursued in the shadows? How was Krita going to be affected by this? Should she tell her sister about the ominous message that only she heard in the cacophony?

Krile couldn't let panic get the better of her. Although deeply worried, she appeared unperturbed by the flashy escape, especially now that the Imperial Knights were searching for him. Even so, she didn't hold much hope of them finding this guy and ending her concerns. All she could do was turn to one of the Stanson Bridage's knights as he asked her, "Are you all right, ma'am?"

"I'm uninjured. He surrendered the core to me, so please return it to Meijin's," she reported.

"Thank you very much. The captain would like to get your testimony, if you don't mind," the knight said.

"Understood."

He took the crystal and saluted her before getting his superior's attention and directing him to Krile. She spent a few minutes off to the side with Captain Stanson recounting what she saw in the trading house. However, she didn't mention anything about the criminal's threat towards her - she had little to no faith in the Imperial Knights, especially with the injuries that four well-armored men sustained from one single attacker.
