There was a moment or two of silence before Kalia responded, and when she did it was with a small sigh. Not at Khadri or what he had to say, but more... at the whole situation in general. It had been a tense several days with an unfortunate culmination, for sure. "I'm not comfortable with the job or its outcome, but... I understand why you took it. We need the money, and I will not blame you or hold that against you." Lacing her fingers together, Kalia settled her hands on one knee. "I don't know much about neogi, but from what you've said I can imagine that his next jobs will be similar to this. The fewer jobs like that we can take in the future, the better. But we can't afford to be too picky."

Kalia shrugged and picked her journal up off the table, closing it gently after checking that the ink was indeed truly dry this time. "I trust your judgement. Things aren't going to be easy, but you aren't trying to figure them out or find where you stand on your own."
