Kaleeth's tone grated against Janius' patience. His own anger started to rise inside and it was reflected in a growl preceding his answer. "Few, if any of us [i]want[/i] to kill. That is what makes us separate from monsters!" As Janius' voice escalated, he should have made it clear that his anger was directed towards himself, but his state of mind was not the clearest. "Do not ever think I [i]want[/i] you, or anyone, even myself, to kill without reason!"

Janius halted in his tracks, shut his eyes and took a breath. He realised he was only making things worse by shouting. Before he allowed himself to get any angrier, he carefully placed Kaleeth down onto her feet, then turned, glancing to Meesei. "I do need to hunt. Now." Janius said, poorly holding back frustration in his voice. Without so much as a farewell, Janius dropped to all fours and bolted off into the wilds alone. He needed an outlet for his frustrations as much as he needed to feed.
