The unexpectedly loud outburst from Lawrence makes Viatorus jump in his seat and startles him so much he doesn't manage to form his usual rapid fire apologies before Tamminy takes over. The hypothesising and unanswerable questions are familiar territory, but he continues to glance to Lawrence until the man seems to have thoroughly calmed. It's only then that he smiles weakly and nods in agreement with Tamminy's conclusion and thanks for the thoughts.
Once it becomes certain that Lawrence isn't an actual threat to her brother, Isidor also calms. She's far more interested in the topic that follows. It's just on the tip of her tongue to ask if that would conflict with Mrs. Weatherhill's feelings on 'interracial' living. "Really?" she asks instead. "Don't you think that would feel strange? To change what you are like that. Wouldn't you feel like you'd… lost a part of who you are?"
