As usual, there was more than meets the eye in this case. Kaleeth had made a decision based on her own principles, and it gave Janius a new respect for her, but it still would have been hard. Not to mention, Zharanthixil was otherwise a good person by Kaleeth's description. Perhaps he would be capable of understanding. Janius' first thought was that if he could prove to the Master-Hunter that he would be prepared to give his life for Kaleeth, maybe he would win his trust. How would he do that though? Though, before all that, Janius would have to let Meesei know about this. If there was any threat to the pack's welcome here, then she needed to know.

As for now, it could all wait until the morning. Janius needed time to think, and he wanted to stay with Kaleeth a while longer. He held her close while they sat. "Thank you for explaining." He kissed her on the top of the head. "I'll see what I can do anyway. I have to try."
