After a while of watching and smelling the scene in front of him Janius could feel himself salivating from the prospect of fresh meat, but he kept in control. Kaleeth's presence was too big of a threat to try anything rash.

It wasn't long before Kaleeth was finished with her meal and curled up to rest. Janius was surprised that the crocodile corpse was enough to satisfy the hunger behind her bulk, but not knowing about werecrocodile metabolism, he assumed that Kaleeth had eaten recently anyway. With its hunger sated, Janius observed Kaleeth's beast spirit recede and her form change back into that of an Argonian. She was in the same state that he and Zharanthixil first found her in, except this time blood was in the mix.

Now that it was safe, Janius padded towards Kaleeth where she lay. He held his head down and sniffed at her. She was still scared and upset. Janius could only feel pity for her, but right now the priority was to get her back to the village. She wouldn't transform again for at least the rest of the day, so it would be safe enough to help her and get explanations. Janius carefully scooped up her body in both arms and started towards the river in a bipedal jog without saying a word.

Even if she resisted, Janius would bring her back to the village, transforming back into human form before he came into sight. She needed to make peace with her family and allow the pack to help her. For the moment though, Janius stayed quiet and let her calm down in his arms.
