Even though Sabine managed to land a foot on Okun's head, he didn't seem to relent. He was too close to use her staff, so she let go of it for the moment. As he made a move to try and get at Sabine's upper body, she sat up, her head already heavy and overbalancing from the poison, and grabbed at his arms before he could strike or grapple her. Sabine could barely see with the rain in her eyes, but with all her might and bared teeth, she resisted him and managed to get on one knee. Slowly, Sabine pushed Okun back enough that she was over him. She had a clear shot to knee his chin, but again, Sabine was fair. She aimed further down to his chest to knock the wind from him, hoping to turn the tide enough to wrestle and pin him to the ground.

By Kaleeth's reaction, Janius' reasoning had the desired discouraging effect. He wondered why he didn't think to mention it sooner with how important the Hist was to Argonians. It would be something for her to think on and hopefully second guess her desire to become a werewolf.

As for explaining the better parts, Janius thought for a moment whether he wanted to risk encouraging her even further. Perhaps it was a wave of selfishness or absent mindedness, but he thought it only fair to share the upsides too. Besides, he wanted to brighten the mood a bit. "Well, your pack becomes your close family, as well as your friends. We travel much, so I have seen more of Tamriel than I ever thought I would in my life. You don't have to worry about disease, though that's nothing new for someone like you," Janius paused to chuckle, "You can live for yourself and the pack, without the expectations of any society. That was a big relief for me from Imperial culture. You can hunt great beasts. Be an unstoppable force of nature as part of your pack. Strong, swift, enduring. Living in the wilds means you see and learn many new things. Having wealth is a non-issue, and finding food is rarely an issue. Amongst my pack in particular, as well, you can aspire to improve yourself and achieve great things. It will not likely win you fame, but you nonetheless can strive for personal achievement. Hunting a particular beast, winning the favour of Hircine, travelling, mostly whatever you want." Janius lowered his head, but not in sadness, "As for me, I am just satisfied to have great friends and family. They are honest and sincere, and we take care of each other. Such was not the case with my old life, which was why I was ultimately able to leave it behind."

Janius looked at Kaleeth directly, or as well as he could while she was leaning on his chest. He decided to stop playing games and get to the heart of the matter. "I can see that you are weighing up if you want to join the pack. I would want nothing more for you to come with me, Kaleeth, if it weren't a big issue for you. I have been warning you against it because to rush into something like this would only cause you pain and regret. I cannot force you to decide either way, but just remember that you still have a loving family and a wonderful life in the village. If you joined us, you would be giving that all up forever, even the Hist. I couldn't bear to see you torn apart in such a way."
