Janius couldn't bear to look Kaleeth in the eyes as he spoke. "Argonians... Saxhleel. They catch it as well. I know because Meesei is also werewolf." As much as he wanted to reduce the amount of information Janius gave to Kaleeth-Rei about the pack, he needed to convince her somehow. "And taking a potion, like I said, it would make it less likely, but what if it doesn't work?" He motioned to her swiftly, "Then I have not only forced this condition on you but an entirely new way of life as well. You would probably have to leave your village, stay away from them for their protection, as well as yours. You might never see your friends and family again. You would always be under threat from groups of werewolf hunters. You would need to isolate yourself from much of the world just to survive!" It was at this point that Janius realised that he had let his voice rise to shouting at Kaleeth. He didn't need to yell, but frustration had got the better of him. He took a breath and lowered his head, than took Kaleeth gently by the shoulders, "Kaleeth-Rei..." he spoke quietly and looked at her with a pain in his soul, "You are such a beautiful woman. I can't take this risk. I'm sorry."

As Fendros returned Ahnasha's stare, he lost composure in sync with Ahnasha and laughed along with her. The topic of conversation turned more serious in comparison afterwards. Fendros nodded while trying to keep still otherwise. "I know, but there doesn't seem to be any other way around it. It makes me wish we had thought to seek instruction while we were back in Thorn, but... spilt milk and all that. As long as we don't get held up in the city and as long as what we hunt doesn't get to close to the city, then we should be okay. Unless any night travellers or patrols get unlucky. Hm, risky." Fendros agreed. Even though his pose was looking away from Ahnasha, he moved his eyes to look at her momentarily. "You don't suppose that it would be worth asking the wise woman, Reanaseer, if she knows anything about birth, or if she knows anyone who might? We might get lucky and not need to head to Stormhold in such a hurry."
