"If you were truly intent on believing that, then I doubt anything I could say would change that opinion." Meesei answered as she searched through the clothing. Even being steel, Meesei of course took the dagger, but there was nothing else of interest to her. As such, she put everything else back into a pile between them and allowed the Nord to reclaim the rest. "But no, we have no such plans for you. Lycans do not have a particular need for Human flesh; it is simply that our beast spirits do not like being denied their meal after a kill. Even if you do not believe that, the battle left behind enough corpses to last months. Yours would be entirely unnecessary, if that were the case. Now, I have wounded to tend to. We will speak about the information you have, and negotiate your release, as soon as I have the time." Meesei added before finally leaving the cell and locking the door behind her. 

"Stand guard here for now. I will send others to relieve you shortly." Meesei ordered before taking her leave and heading to the infirmary.

Kaleeth was silent before Janius left, and remained so after he returned. She accepted the water unenthusiastically, and while she was no longer sobbing audibly, there were still certainly tears in her eyes. Janius had at least managed to convince her that they were not intentionally monsters, but to her, an unintentional monster was still almost as bad. How could she just accept committing these crimes against nature? 

For what seemed like hours, Kaleeth was entirely unresponsive until she finally said something in a weak, despondent voice. "There has to be a way to cure this, Janius. I can't live like this anymore."

Upon the healer's request, Ahnasha did lower her volume to a more normal speaking level, but the anger was still apparent in her tone. "A lot of things could have happened, like you getting yourself killed in that suicidal charge. Me being in danger  doesn't give you an excuse to be stupid. Just...think about it for even a second and you'll see how much of an idiot you were being. Say I was in danger; say I was fighting on the other side of those hunters. Was it you that saved them? Did you get to the other side? No, you got yourself surrounded and nearly killed before Janius and Lorag had to come in and pull you out of the fire. Those two, Meesei, the rest of the warband, they fought smart, and they were the ones who saved the defense. Not you. If you want to help, then you won't forget all of your training as soon as I get into a fight."
