This is new, though not unexpected. These are people who have it out for Xenians everywhere, who punished crurovores trying their hardest to behave and follow the rules--the parallels are definitely there, and she changes her own expression into something solicitous. When confronted with a man, especially a man she's been intimate with, who has a certain amount of rage in him, her inclination is to to try to soothe it, and she's not bad at it, but she doesn't know how he'll react.

She does it anyway, crossing the room to put her hands on his shoulders, looking him in the eyes. "Mitchell--listen, I understand that, believe me, you aren't the only one." Not her, judging by her tone, because she lacks that killing instinct (especially one like Mitchell's, which is fairly inimitable), but certainly others in the know. "But I need to get everything I can from him. Information, whatever elset hey might be planning or hiding."

You know, first.

"What I'm going to do to him will help wreck not just his life, but their entire group." That he's bothered specifically by her liaison with Sandor doesn't occur to her; she's focused on the bigotry, which obviously does play a large component in things. "I promise he'll get his."

...and after she's done, whatever happens to Sandor Zendak happens.
