Janius nodded and put aside his current task. He thought it might be useful for Kaleeth to grieve on her own for a few days, but Meesei was right. At this point she wasn't showing any signs of recovery. Her transforming was also an issue, but Janius had to motivate her first. He stood up. "I'll see what I can do."

Putting his mind off the softing mud beneath him, Janius walked up to Kaleeth and sat down beside her, looking at her and bringing his knees up as well, except then opening his legs a little such that his ankles were crossing and his knees were secured by the bottom of his elbows. Janius looked at her for a few seconds, then tried to start a dialogue. "What are you thinking?" Janius asked, loud enough for her to hear, but not in a demanding way.
