If he rounds them up and has them executed, he might seem unnecessarily cruel (though some might sympathize over the near murder of Ohanna). But if he leaves them alone, he might look weak and have even more rebellions because the first one was so close.

Right now, when he's surfing on the whole "liberator of Caph" thing, would be the time to address any issues requiring direct action. The attack on himself and Ohanna gives Vaahir the excuse to do what Vaahir does best.

> She might say that Kiivan has great potential. Of course she has to be careful because a Caphan might take a compliment differently from a female than an Earth human might.

By anybody's standards Kiivan has potential.
