Kalila raised an eyebrow at the initial answer to her question. She listened quietly as Gerta, Garrek, and the rest of the staff explain further. Apparently the man belonged to a group called the 'Vultures', and what they want is...to replace Queen Mycena with a group of men, because they don't believe she can rule because of her gender?! Kalila visibly struggled to hold back laughter at their childish goal.

"[I]Those guys would have a heart attack if they meet Trisha Wrenfield![/I]" Kalila couldn't help but think to herself. Before she could even think further about her mother and spiral again, she focuses her attention on the discussion again.

Her attention is on Gerta as she finished bandaging the wounded Garrek, and then approaches her with crossed arms. Once again, she had to fight back laughter upon hearing the names of the brothers: Vane and Vex. "[I]Those cannot be their actual names![/I]" Kalila thought to herself. 

Once again, she pulls herself back to the moment at hand, and she feels a sense of uneasiness as Gerta looks at the mysterious bottle, before making eye contact with her and makes her serious statement with crossed arms. Kalila tries to reassure her with a hesitant chuckle, "At least they won't be so determined to go after Garrek?" She remembered how the man was so focused on her after her newfound magic acted up. Perhaps that alone would help keep Garrek safe, she hoped.

After a moment, she does stand up so she can meet Gerta's eye contact, and she dusts the skirt of her dress once more. She continues to speak, this time in a calmer and steady manner in hopes of trying to ease the current tension, "I know this isn't a guarantee, but what I said to him at the end is true. If my intuition about Vane is correct, and he took what I said seriously, then I don't think his brother is going to learn about this. Vane would have to tell Vex and anyone else who's involved what happened, and in turn, he'd humiliate himself to his like-minded peers. So, if he wanted to do something in retribution, he's likely going to do it on his own," 

She thinks over the matter further, and she asks Gerta, "Have you tried going to the guards to get help with dealing with these guys? What those brothers are doing is purely extortion. That's well within reason to get help from the guards. Plus, from what I can tell, you don't have The Ban to worry about here either, so you should have no problems going to them for help as far as I can tell,"
