Zharanthixil's initial reaction was one of surprise and confusion. He stood up from examining Janius' belongings and looked at the approaching pair. Even more perplexing than the fact that she had run was that she was now returning seemingly of her own will. Such a complete reversal only added to how illogical the entire situation was. 

[i]"Kaleeth..."[/i] Zharanthixil began, but before he could say any more, she ran up to him and hugged him with tears in her eyes. 

[i]"I...I am sorry I ran, father. I was just afraid, and confused. I thought my mind was trying to trick me again. I have not eaten or slept much, and I have just been so frightened. I...I haven't been able to think clear and..." Kaleeth began, only to be interrupted by her father gently placing his hands on her shoulders and looking her in the eyes.

[i]"Kaleeth, be calm. It does not matter now. You have been starved and stressed for a few days now. I don't understand why your ran, but I also don't care. Now that you are here, and you want to go home, that is all I care about."[/i] Zharanthixil explained, but behind his understanding expression, there was also a hint of suspicion. He had been investigating Janius' belongings before they arrived, and was still quite curious about why he would abandon them. Like everything else in this situation, it made no sense. There was something more going on here.

"Before we go, why did you leave all of your belongings here? I don't know why you would waste the time to remove it all while following her." Zharanthixil asked Janius somewhat accusingly.
