The reincarnator's voice was stripped of any of the earlier performance, gravely serious in tone. Waiting for the judgment call of the pigeon blues - which could be said to be its own layer of this 'stage play'. Elua was showing off a lot of her abilities here, but making it as clear as she could that there *was* an authority over her. That Qat led her actions.
"I trust you."
Her face turned back to the crowd immediately, both happy for what was just said and a bit annoyed… that it potentially undermined her 'show them the leash' strategy. What good was it to calm the minds of others, if she wore a restraint in name only that just allowed her to do almost anything she wanted to do?!
