The two continued to wander, but even Janius would admit that he was rapidly losing track of the scent they were following. The trail they followed seemed to halt by a river, wide and obviously breaking its banks. With all of the rain hitting it and the mud churning through and clouding the water, it seemed calm on the surface, but Janius wasn't fooled. This river would drag him away if he tried to jump in, even in this form. Kaleeth, however, seemed to be restraining herself from entering it as though she wanted to swim. She was standing closer to the edge and staring.

Janius couldn't be sure, but if Kaleeth's werecrocodile form was as strong a swimmer now as it was when she caught the crocodile a few days ago, then she might just be able to navigate this river. It would probably be a better hunting environment for her anyway, even if it would still be a difficult one. With the scent fading further, Janius decided to let Kaleeth do her thing. He looked at her, pointed to the water, then stepped back a few paces and waited. Once she would disappear under the water, is was all Janius could really do. Janius even added some speech over the rain, in case Kaleeth could hear her, "If your beast spirit is telling you to swim, do it! You may trust in its knowledge of your capabilities!"
