The silence is a little unnerving, but Ryo figures it's a conversation with Enshala, since that's evidently how they communicate. He looks up as the sali with the beaded horns enters, and- there's no way they were close enough to hear the conversation beforehand. Either the sali have incredible hearing, or something else is at work here.

Either way, he raises his hand slightly as they call for the healer - that's it, that's him - and heads towards them. It's only when he reaches the doorway that he turns back to nod respectfully at the child and, more importantly, the statue. "Thank you." For hearing them out. For helping. For not immediately throwing them out for the crime of not being sali themselves.

(Ryo, as it turns out, still has a terribly low bar for what constitutes as kindness.)

He turns back to the beaded sali, prepared to follow them wherever they lead.
