Janius was otherwise calm as he and Meesei ghosted Kaleeth for a while. Janius' intended plan was to have either himself or Meesei try and find something for them both to eat so they had an easier time focussing. However, before they separated, Janius saw a reaction in Kaleeth's demeanour that connected with the scent of a nearby human. This wasn't good. If Kaleeth was heading in the direction of the smell, then she would either be seriously injured, or eat an innocent traveller.

There was no time. Janius had to think quickly. He looked at Meesei for a moment, then bolted off around Kaleeth and towards the road, intent on outrunning her there. If he could scare the human away and try to distract or hold back Kaleeth, she might avoid doing something that she regretted. Hopefully Meesei would catch on and help. Janius knew he couldn't outmatch Kaleeth's strength on his own.
