Once Janius was released, he held his head forward and coughed his airways clear. Unfortunately, he didn't quite regain his speech in time for Kaleeth to start running. "No- Kaleeth, wait! I haven't even explained..." Janius called after her, but trailed off when she left the room.

Janius stood for a moment, wondering whether to bother pursuing. After a few seconds, he retrieved each wooden sword, put them back on the stand on which he found them, then made his way down the corridor in the direction that Kaleeth ran. Along the way, he spotted Lorag going in the opposite direction. At first, Janius simply nodded to him and walked past him, but before they walked too far apart from each other, Janius stopped and turned around. "Hey Lorag, can I ask you something?" Janius put one hand on his hip and the other on his forehead, closing his eyes in a look of uncertain thought, "Have you ever had a point in your life where you felt as if you couldn't win at anything? If you have, how did you get out of it?" Janius' tone suggested that he was frustrated, but still wanted to solve the problem in his head. There was no particular way of telling whether Janius was asking for himself or Kaleeth.

It was a nice change to have a cultist that wanted to speak and did not outwardly want to show some inherent superiority, but Fendros kept a cautious outlook. Given the nature of the cult, Fendros didn't really want to speak to Orskan-Tan about anything, but he could see hope in Ahnasha's eyes. He crossed his arms and observed with a neutral expression, ready to step in if Orskan crossed any boundaries. Already, the mention of necromancy brought Orskan close to said boundaries, given the ethics of the followers of Molag Bal.

Speaking about the subject of prolonging one's lifespan caused Fendros' memory to be cast back to the temple in Vos. If there was even a trace of any Bretons involved, Fendros would likely drop the offer on the spot. Technically, Molag Bal and Mephala were old enemies. But then again, would Mephala really be a more trustworthy being in this case?
