Okun could not breathe for a few moments after Sabine's strike. The sudden reversal left her in an advantageous position, and himself confused. She had both of his arms and was pinning him to the ground. Luckily, he was on his back, as if he was on his stomach, she would probably be able to pull back his arms and force him to submit. Still, he was out of breath and at an altogether terrible disadvantage. He tried to struggle to get his arms free of her, but even with the mud and rain, he couldn't shake her grasp. As a last ditch effort, he tried to put as much force as he could to pushing her off of him so he could roll onto her and give himself the advantage, but with her strength, he did not hold much hope of succeeding.

Kaleeth kept her head lowered for a few moments before looking up at Janius meekly. "I...not know what I want." Most parts of the life Janius described sounded great, apart from the separation from the Hist, but she knew she loved her life in the village as well. None of the other downsides really bothered her too much. She didn't care about living among civilizations, other than her own, and the village was always in danger just as Janius' family was. The physical capabilities of werewolves seemed amazing, but that was less of a factor in her decision than the ability to be with Janius. Everything she could choose involved giving up something and someone. The whole situation was almost too much for her to bear.

"I just don't know; I can't think. There is so much to think about. Both choices will take me from more than one thing that I love. I...am already torn apart, I just want to know what to pick to put myself back together more. If...if I joined you, what would happen?" Kaleeth asked, with a hint of desperation in her voice. The indecision, more than anything, was what was tearing her apart.
