Meesei couldn't say she was pleased to hear the news Janius brought. If the situation wasn't complicated enough already, now this was happening. There was no way she could see this ending pleasantly. "It is difficult to say at present what will come of this. I do not know what will happen in the end with her, but it is clear she cannot remain here. I could not in good conscious leave her alone, so she can join us, at least for now. I have some knowledge on werecrocodiles. They are very strong and durable, if a bit clumsy. Behavior wise, they are more independent than we are, but of course, Kaleeth's own mind would also influence her behavior. I believe it would be more difficult for her to...integrate with us than normal."

Ahnasha found herself strangely nervous at the prospect of bringing Kaleeth along. She didn't have anything against her personally, but a feral werecrocodile was not something to underestimate. Without pack instincts, she could go berserk and attack. Normally, she wouldn't feel too nervous about going head-to-head with an untrained lycan, but in her current state, she was vulnerable. Kaleeth could easily injure, or even kill her by accident. "I...am not sure I like this. It seems like it will be dangerous to have someone nearby who could lose control at any moment [i]and[/i] have no instincts preventing her from trying to kill us. I don't know if I would be able to protect myself."

"Very true, we will need to keep a close eye on her. Since she did not attack you, Janius, I assume her mind is at least strong enough for her to be around you safely. That means you will be in charge of training her, at least at first. We will also need to leave very soon. We have already been here longer than I planned, and we need to get to Stormhold as soon as we can. The rainy season is coming up, if it isn't here already. That might cause some delays on our journey to the city; floods could be a real issue. Any ground we can make now will help if we end up getting held up along the way. Kaleeth can rest for today, but we need to leave tomorrow morning. I...cannot imagine her parents will be pleased to hear that."
