Everyone stared at Yelena upon hearing her requests...
They have mixed feelings about that to be honest. On one hand, they applauded the ambitions of the girl and her determination/audacity. Nobody would be able to say something like this in front of a man who could literally decide one's life or death according to his whims.
On the other hand, they lamented for the girl. Her wish is really grand. There's little to no chance of it happening. Even at the smallest chance that it might work, she wouldn't be able to carry the burden of her wishes.
Although they call this place a small paradise for the forlorn, they knew that the Broken Badlands doesn't have much time left. The state of this place isn't really a huge secret to anyone. Everybody knows it. Everyone also knows that they're just grasping straws here. Holding on to the tiniest bit of hope and life there is for this world.
