Raven looked up as Erik began to speak to the room. Sure she had entertained the possibility of their new visitors being hostile - who hadn't - but hearing Erik address them as a potential threat made the situation seem all the more real. She shoved a little more toast in her mouth as she listened, frowning a little and gulping down her mouthful to speak once he had finished.
She raised her hand. She didn't know why, it just seems like the right thing to do, and once she had Erik's attention she sat up a little more upright and spoke loud enough for the room to hear.
"Couldn't treating the ...aliens-" it felt weird to say the word aliens, but she pressed on quickly, " as hostile just provoke them into being so? I mean, if someone is going to act like I'm a threat off the bat it's way more likely to provoke me into being one, I guess?"
She trailed off towards the end, and just shoved more food into her mouth as she finished speaking, waiting for someone to respond and hopefully make her sound like less of an idiot.
