Hilde,
My guess is this. The maenwaith have long been the "passive resistence" types, using their forms to slip away to safety and avoid unwanted confrontations. Speaking personally, Ráma likes to talk and think big. In reality, however, she has done little more than slink away, just as she is now slinking out of the reception hall.
However, there comes a point when anyone with a bit of backbone begins to get angry and starts acting more like an insurgent.
If Wyrma was to threaten violence,for example, I think that might push many of us over the edge. But, for each SC, that would be an individual choice -- when and where that shift would come.
