Kadaj looked like he was either going to go berserk and stab the scientist, or run from the room. He also looked like he hadn't quite decided on a course of action yet.
He was holding his sword, though. That was a bad sign for Hojo's expected life span.
Could she move faster than Kadaj, if he swung for Hojo? Probably not, like this, although it'd be worth a shot. Kadaj's speed had always been one of his advantages, and while he was definitely not faster than her if she was released and wearing the mask, he might just be too fast for her without it.
Normally she wouldn't intervene in a spat between Khamja members that didn't involve underlings, but Kadaj had just returned from whatever he'd been doing out in the world, and they'd kept Hojo like an old lady keeping bits of string in case they came in useful. For him to have been given the labs, someone obviously wanted to make use of him.
That someone might not appreciate Kadaj becoming the leading cause of Scientist Death in Khamja.
Kadaj was fighting to hold it together, that much was obvious, but that wasn't a fight he'd been very good at winning in the past.
