Zharanthixil was again surprised with how sensitive Janius' senses were, but at the moment, he could not care less. Once they started off in the direction Janius specified, he was able to hear her voice as well. He continued to shout out to her, and she continued to respond, growing louder and louder as they drew closer. Eventually, it was clear enough that he could unmistakably say that it was Kaleeth's. The anger, disappointment, and disdain he had felt towards her when she first left had dissipated over the past few days and was replaced with the desire to simply see her again alive. Now that desire was close to being fulfilled, and there was nothing else on Nirn that mattered more to him. 

After a few minutes of calling out to one another, the pair closed in on her. Zharanthixil pushed his way through some thick shrubbery until he finally saw her, though she was in quite a different state as when she left. She was naked, unarmed, and covered in mud from the marsh. Everything about her made it seem like she was in duress, but strangely, there wasn't a hint of injury across her body. Just like the trail they followed to reach her, the scent she carried was not quite her own, though the mud caked on her scales was masking most of it. 

[i]"Father, Janius?"[/i] Kaleeth said in disbelief. While she certainly felt both relief and joy to see the two, she felt afraid as well. Very afraid. Zharanthixil was too overwhelmed to notice it at the moment, her body language was apprehensive, nervous. She did not move as her father ran to her and hugged her, other than shaking slightly in place. 

[i]"Kaleeth, I...I am sorry. For everything I said, I just...I am so glad to see you alive."[/i] Zharanthixil said sincerely

[i]"I forgive you, father."[/i] Kaleeth responded in an anxious, somewhat distracted tone. Her emotions were washing over her like a flood, so by the time she pulled away from him, she was breathing heavily. There was definitely something wrong with her.
