"Oh, no, I not angry." Kaleeth said, swimming around and stopping in front of Janius. She felt guilty that she seemed to have upset him for some reason, but even so, she looked at him with an even brighter smile than before. She clearly seemed to be in a good mood. "I not know why it is funny, but why would I be angry at kissing beautiful man?"

Kaleeth placed a hand on Janius' shoulder, then leaned back to allow herself to float on her back once more. Turning her head to look at him, she continued in her cheerful mood. "You want to help with Cyrodilic now? I want to have ability to talk to you better. It will help when we hunt. I looking forward to that a lot now."

Despite Sabine's reaction to Tunxeek, Meesei remained calm and quickly finished her tea before standing. The Treeminder's son seemed distressed by the situation, which was understandable, but she knew it would be best if he were to do nothing. "That is not a reaction I did not expect. Sabine is uncomfortable with the attention of others. All you need to do is to make sure the trials and ritual are prepared. When it is time, I hope the Hist can help her to come to terms with the burden in her mind. If you will excuse me, I need to go lend my support to her."

Meesei thanked her hosts, then left the hut to return to the common quarters. Sabine had rushed to return to the hut, so she had easily been able to find the most secluded location possible in the large, single room hut. Even so, it was a rather open area, which no doubt added more to Sabine's discomfort. As soon as Meesei entered the hut, she approached Sabine and sat down beside her. Meesei spoke not a word, and instead wrapped her arms around Sabine and held her close. Meesei had known her long enough to know that no words she could say would help. All she needed to do was to hold her close, to let her know that she would be there to protect her.
