Their answers are as diverse as they are, as numerous as the stars in the sky. Caligo had expected nothing else; their differences were what made them Denocte, the Court of Dreams and Dreamers alike. The demi-goddess would have it no other way.
So she lets them speak and voice their opinions and observations, taking it all in with grace and silence. There was no such thing as a wrong answer - how could they be wrong, in something so subjective? Raymond might see only the targets that Calliope wished to fell from the skies, and Isra may be star-struck with the galaxies above, Caligo would let them see what they would, and she would not judge them for it.
She smiles and nods her head with each admission, grateful for their presence.

“I will not lie to you - wishing the birds away will not make it so. They may look like good targets up there, but attack one and you bring the fury of the whole host down upon you. They are strong when they are together.” There’s more she leaves unsaid, attesting to the thunderbird’s importance and worth. It would not do to harm them, any more than they already have been. But words are wind, and the Court must find another way to be rid of them.
“The stars are a pretty thing to look upon, but they cannot help you now. They are too far, too removed from Novus to be of any use. No, you must be your own stars, and write your own destinies.”
She looks upon them all, Raymond and Calliope with their warrior hearts, Moira and Isra with their gentleness. She would need them all, and they would need each other.
“I ask of you to stand together, and with me. Denocte may have enemies, but these birds do not have to become one of them. If we can befriend them, we must. That is how we stop this madness.”
Caligo beseeches the Court to find its inner strength - these thunderbirds do not need to stay enemies of Denocte. Are her dreams feasible, or is it too late to calm the tempest?
