Kaleeth looked at Janius curiously, and with a bit of amazement as he started talking about learning to swim. That was a concept she had never even heard of before, so it took her by surprise. She swam over to Janius, with Leaps following close behind her, then resting itself on her shoulder once she stopped. It chirped and raised its nose in the air, seemingly to get closer to the fleshflies flying above them. "Wait, you say you had to...learn to swim? You mean it was not instinct for you? Is that the same for all Humans, or was there something wrong with you? It seems strange that something so useful would not be instinct."

For whatever reason, Leaps held its mouth open while its eyes darted around across its field of view. It looked rather funny for a few moments before it suddenly jumped off of her shoulder at the group of fleshflies. It snapped its jaw closed in midair, but did not seem to get anything more than air before falling back into the water. Undaunted, the wamasu swam back, this time climbing up on Janius' shoulder.

"The Hist knew my purpose there, so they did 'speak' to me, in a manner of...speaking." Meesei responded. "The Hist often do not communicate plainly in words as we do. For me, they filled my mind with important memories of yours that surrounded the situation, memories that would give me the context to provide advice. Since this ritual was meant for you, they did not commune with me on questions and concerns that I have. I am considering trying to commune with the Hist once more before leaving the marsh. I do not believe they disapprove of my choice to follow Hircine, but I would like to see if I could know for certain. They might even impart wisdom to help me on my path."
