Although she did not know that particular story, Kaleeth knew well how Janius once was. It was not a secret hidden from her, and while she had been uncomfortable with it at first, she accepted the past for what it was. Now, all there was to do was to laugh at his youthful foolishness. "Part of me wishes that my life had been as exciting as yours...but most of me is very glad that it wasn't. I wasn't nearly as much as a troublemaker as you. When I ran naked through the village, it was to rush to our favorite swimming hole, and not from guards. I didn't have any secret lovers to run away with in the night...until you." She smiled. "No, I was mostly alone until you arrived. There were relationships before, but they never went anywhere. Being a...mediocre hunter and the daughter of the master hunter made me hard for boys to approach."

Kaleeth reached over and put her hand on top of Janius'. "Again, I guess that was a good thing. If I wouldn't have been alone before, I might not have taken so much interest in you."

Peiter nodded to Sabine confidently, then reached over and put his hand on Tzirret's shoulder. "Ah, come on. There are thousands of other people in this city, and we're no different from any of them. If anything, we're even [i]more[/i] dangerous than any of them. I mean, look around at all these people. Pirates, thugs, criminals, I guarantee you could overpower any of them." Peiter waved his hand across the crowd, though when he reached the large Cathay-raht bouncer, his lips curled. "Uh, well, maybe not him. But all the others wouldn't hold a candle to even your strength. Plus, you'll have us at your side: the valiant and handsome Breton warrior, and the lovely and dangerous Breton mage. It will be like we're your royal guard."
