Kaleeth held on tightly to Janius when he hugged her, and once they pulled away, she kept her arms on his shoulders. "I...don't really know what to say. I mean, I can't think of anything. You saw how we was, how strong he believes. He has always had those skulls. He said he keeps them to remind himself of his failures, and to remind him of why he has to be strong for the village. I think it just reminds him of pain."

Letting out a sigh, Kaleeth looked around, then leaned in and gave Janius a kiss. As easy as it would be to just stay away from Janius to avoid upsetting her father, she did not want that. While she did not want to anger him, she also did not want to accept his hate. In her mind, parting from Janius over this would be just the same as accepting her father's biases as valid. "Maybe we should just try to avoid talking to father and enjoy our time together. We do not have too much time left, and...I would rather enjoy that time with you instead of worrying about how to not upset father. We should not let him ruin it for us. Your friend is having trial right now, right? We could go support her."
