Janius was glad that he was able to discourage Kaleeth from becoming a lycan on whim, but her view of her courage made him stop to pause. Sure, in comparison, Janius was brave, but he also got terrified by the wamasu. What was different? On the surface, he simply acted as he needed to. He found options under pressure and he took one that he thought was the best in the few moments he had to decide. Kaleeth might have been so full of panic that she was frozen, but why does that happen to her?

"Kaleeth, have you ever thought about why you might be afraid?" Janius stared to think out loud, so he clarified, "I mean, apart from the sense that there's danger, that's normal. But, when you lose control, what is it really? Are you afraid of pain? Loss? Death, maybe? Or are you afraid of what might happen? Going back to the wamasu, what made you freeze then? And what made you act? Tell me as much as you can remember."

Even though he wasn't quite sure whether or not he could help Kaleeth with her bravery, he wanted to try. Not only that, but he was curious about what was different between the two of them to cause it. When did Janius become brave? He was sure it was before he turned, otherwise he would not have survived the spiders that served as his impromptu trial.
