"I...I am not hurt, but..." Kaleeth began. Her breathing continued to speed up as she glanced to her father nervously. "I am afraid."

Perceiving himself to be the source of Kaleeth's fear, Zharanthixil placed a hand on her shoulder and looked at her with as sympathetic of a gaze as possible. After all that had happened over the past few days, he no longer wanted to worry about acting on his hatred. He still did not like Janius or the other outsiders, and he still hated the fact that Kaleeth was associating with them, but right now, he just wanted his family back. 

[i]"You don't need to be afraid, Kaleeth. I am not going to hurt you, I'm not going to yell at you. I just want to take you back home. Get you some food, water, and rest. All I want is my daughter back, Kaleeth. I don't want to be angry at you anymore."[/i] He said reassuringly. 

Kaleeth could not bring herself to make eye contact, so she instead started looking at the ground. She wished she could just turn back time and take back everything she had done, but the growing feeling inside of her was a constant reminder that it wasn't possible. [i]"No, it is not that. I love you, father. It is just that...I just..."[/i] She began, but as the fear and other emotions started to overwhelm her, she stopped and closed her eyes. She could bring herself to do little more than sob, and for the moment, was completely unresponsive.
