In truth she didn't give a shit what the man thought, her only concern had been to keep his mind busy until what happened, happened. There were innocent people here, those who couldn't defend themselves and Nariko could only think of Roland's safety and theirs, and in that order. But ultimately that was just a footnote judging by all that Roland said. It was Nia, of all people, Nia who looked so much like Nariko herself, that went to Alain's aide - quite firmly knocking his assailant out with her club - and Kaine whose blade rested against the fat man's neck, his gun on the floor. Agni and Ignis eyed Jacquard as if they might feel better eating him alive and she was suddenly intensely grateful for their self-control.
She did absolutely nothing to calm Roland because there was nothing that could be done about it. All that she had control of was her own expression, because now wasn't the time for her gratuity to shine through, and it occurred to her that he had more than one reason to say these things, after all. Everyone was listening and she had been as cunning about it beforehand with her speech.
The twins wanted to act, Kaine wanted to murder, but this wasn't the moment for that, and so she stayed both parties with her own glare. If there were doubts then they needed to be voiced now. Granted, she had no idea who might be brave enough to argue with a man in this state, but, hey, that would only mean that they really thought she might be some terrible omen, so it would work itself out one way or another.
