Okun had not expected to have any success, but he somehow managed to push her off of him, at least mostly. She was still right beside him, and still very much a threat. He had to act quick, to hit her hard enough to throw her off balance and allow him to really get a good hold of her. Unlike Wutanxeex, he didn't want to hurt her, so he actively avoided the head and instead tried to deliver a strong punch to her stomach. Instead of retaliating quickly as he expected, however, Sabine braced defensively. As Okun wound up for his punch, she moved her arm in the way so that his fist deflected off of her forearm into her stomach, instead of a direct hit. While her arm probably hurt, it reduced the overall force of his blow, meaning he had now left himself open and had nothing to show for it.

Upon Janius' suggestion, Kaleeth stared ahead, deep in thought. Even one who could not understand more subtle Argonian expressions would be able to tell she was conflicted. There were aspects of this situation she had not even thought about, and honestly, really did not like thinking about. "I...can't even imagine talking about this to mother or father, but...I will have to. The Treeminder, I don't know what he will say. I know my path through the river is my own, he will probably say the same. It's just...sometimes the waters are cloudy and the way is unclear. Sometimes, people do not understand the path the Hist want for them. It's just...could the Hist's path for me really make me separate from them? I mean...your friend Meesei, she said she is following her path faithfully, right? Does she believe being a werewolf is what the Hist wants from her? Or do you not know?"
