Actually I can't see Kathana facing expulsion for her actions. Yes, she committed murder, but she didn't do it out of cowardice (i.e., she didn't think she could take Pepperfield in a fair fight) she did it in the heat of anger. An impropriety to be sure, but completely forgivable for a young Dragon, especially if she takes responsibility for her actions, which she did. Now if the problem could have been resolved by her expulsion, I would expect it to have happened; but only during the reign of a decadent Phoenix or Yendi.
