As if Janius' words were nothing, Kaleeth's lumbering form turned and ran. Janius figured that she was completely overcome. Thankfully it gave him just enough time to drop his armour and equipment, then transform into a wolf himself. He kept his distance for now, but still followed her, making sure she didn't get into any trouble. He kept the location of the river in mind for when they would head back to the village.

Janius' beast spirit was cautious about this new creature, if anything. It was big and dangerous, and it most certainly was not a fellow werewolf. Janius kept control enough to fight off the urge to avoid the werecrocodile. By its size and apparent strength, fighting the creature would be a bad idea without help. Both he and his beast spirit agreed on that much.

After a few moments, Janius realised that he would have some explaining to do as Zharanthixil would inevitably find his belongings strewn on the ground before his tracks turned into large pawprints in the mud. However, with what Kaleeth was now, he doubted that the fact of the matter would remain hidden any longer. Janius could only hope that Zharanthixil would allow Kaleeth to make the decision that was best for her.

There was also the question of how Kaleeth became such a creature, exactly. Was this by chance, or did Hircine hear her summons and force it upon her? What transpired that Hircine would decide to do such a thing. Perhaps Kaleeth was right, there was no knowing the minds of such higher beings.

While Janius tailed Kaleeth, he kept his senses tuned for any threats. Eventually, the scent of prey found his nose in the form of what he believed to be a monitor lizard. A small creature, but something that might tempt a hungry werecrocodile.
