[Kida's suggestion is one Riza doesn't follow. Her duty, first and foremost, is to ensure Kida's safety and that'll be harder to do if her feet are folded beneath her when the door slams open with reinforcements. Besides, her mouth won't stop working simply because her legs are upright.
While Kida focuses her attention on the king, Riza does a sweep of the room. There isn't any visible danger she can see, though it's not wholly impossible that something akin to their own mindspeak network is set up in the castle as well. Still, the rumors of magic throughout town have been weak at best and she dismisses the possibility for the moment for the lack of substantial evidence.
Her eyes travel briefly back to the royal pair, and she speaks up briefly to tack on a few words at the end of Kida's own question.]
Your people and the goblins....all of them are suffering.
[She's reminded of Phoenix, and of Hellboy and his less-than-conventional looks. There isn't only one party suffering through this conflict.]
