Keisha has been sitting quietly through all of this; she doesn't comment like Winona though the heightening tension makes her distinctly uncomfortable. That hand has stayed on Phoebe's shoulder throughout, hoping to be a calming influence. How much it helped may be up for debate, but she tried.
She bristles visibly when Erich bellows at the Black Fury sitting next to her, hand gripping her Iskakku staff tightly. She throws a glance at her Alpha and then Phoebe is rising, the Child of Gaia's hand slipping off her shoulder because the ahimsa, for her part, remains sitting. Adding another person into this mix would only make things worse and she realizes that. She listens to Phoebe's words and then darts her eyes around to where the kinfolk in the room may be for reference's sake (just in case, not that she thinks it'll come to that), then finally back toward the Ahroun, watching him closely. It's clear which side she stands on though. Her physical proximity to Phoebe spells it out.
------------
Though Still Waters does not rise, Javed does. His Rage flares a little, seething forth a bit from its already-considerable levels as he slips off the arm of the couch and draws up. He is not mediating; he is not a Philodox and that is not his place. Avery is the ranking (and indeed, the sole) Philodox here though he does not entreat her to intervene. If Erich heeds Phoebe's demand or if he doesn't, that isn't Javed's concern because he has no dog (pun not intended) in this fight. He waits until Phoebe is done before he speaks up (unless Erich tries to cut her off after she did likewise to him; then he cuts in to keep it from going further).
"However this is handled," he says, and for once it is not tinged with politeness. It isn't rude, but it is blunt and short. He's getting right to the point of the matter. "Handle this now, this moment. This has gone too far. Perceived insults, unintended ones, direct and intended ones. Whatever the matter, resolve it or plan to take it up later and we can move on."
