As a member of Desert Oracles, Keisha makes regular visits to both Cold Crescent and Forgotten Questions. It is their responsibility, the mission of their pack, to tend to the spiritual needs of the city and that includes both Septs. She learned of the incident the previous night when she stopped by Cold Crescent earlier in the day and spoke with Sam, Hector and Thomas.
So it's not a surprise, perhaps, that she stopped by to see the woman. She is making regular visits anyway to look in on Champion of Honor and Kelly, both of whom she helped retrieve and feels responsibility for. And she is there to hear the question be asked, and Sam's stringent--one might even say vehement--response.
Anyone who knows of the vow that Keisha took soon after her First Change will be able to guess this one; it's probably the least surprising stance anyone might take in this situation. The Theurge is often gentle and calm, warm and open. The thought that killing this kinfolk might even be considered has her different. It has her angry.
It's a contained anger, to be fair. She doesn't rant and rave, she doesn't threaten. She doesn't punch anything inanimate, or animate for that matter. But there's nothing approaching joy in her expression, and she's the quiet kind of calm that makes lesser people nervous as she moves to stand next to Sam. A mocha hand comes to rest on the other woman's shoulder.
"We can help her," she says quietly. "Whatever happened to her, whatever choices she may or may not have made...we have to try." She squeezes Sam's shoulder and turns to mirror Sam's stance, leaning against the glass with her staff held next to her. It's a show of solidarity. And she's not being hostile to any one person…certainly not Erich, who merely asked the question that needed to be asked. It doesn't stop her from being angry, but it's not targeted anger.
"I'll contribute whatever I need to. I'll claim her under my protection. But I can't stand by and see her die."
It's resolute. And the offer to claim her is genuine; there isn't any sort of flippancy about it. With that, she falls quiet next to Sam. Her position has been made quite clear.
Not that anyone would have thought otherwise from a Garou who will not kill.

"The anger of a good man is not a problem. Good men have too many rules."
"Good men don't need rules. And today's not the day to find out why I have so many."
