With Janius' reminder, Kaleeth leaned over to the riverbank nearby and grabbed her satchel, then grabbed the other waterskin it contained. "Not yet, but I can if you think I need it." She quickly downed the waterskin's contents, then packed it back into the satchel. Going back to the matter at hand, she tried to calm herself down and think more rationally on the situation. "I understand why you do not want to hurt my life, but...I had a reason to choose not to go with him. His hate for you is not a part of the teachings of the Hist. If I go with him and refuse you, I would be acting against the Hist's teaching. I am not supposed to hate, and I do not want to support his hate. I wish I could help him change, but...I don't think I can. I don't think you can. All his family and friends died because of the slaver.s They tortured him and cut of some of his toes. He still has nightmares about the Imperial woman. I just...I do not want you to think different of him than he is. I love you, but I love Father too. I know you may not see it, but...Father is very compassionate man. He is the most selfless, loyal person in the village. He gives all his time to the village and our family, and he has sacrificed a lot many times to keep everyone safe. When I was young, we had a few months of famine where we could not find animals to hunt, and could not grow enough food. Father did not eat for a week just so me and my brother would have food. He has always said he would give his life for us, and, even with what is going on...I still think he would. Before now, he never yelled at me other than in training. If you really want to talk to him...I don't think he would attack you, not again. He was very angry to see us mating, but he may have calmed some by tomorrow. I do not think it will help though. He will probably just yell at you more and make you leave his hut. If he could, he would make you and your friends leave the village, but Thorantilth or Reanaseer would need to agree too."
