Kaleeth was gaining the advantage, though she had paid for every bit of ground she had gained. She had taken quite a few hits to pin Janius, and they were taking their toll. She had been in pain even before their fight had started, and it was to the point that her adrenaline was not suppressing it entirely. As well, she was at a point in their brawl where she could not do what she would be able to in a real fight. She had her arm on his throat, but she could not apply too much force without risking seriously hurting him. So, she had to hold back. 

Taking a risk, Kaleeth released her grip on Janius' other arm to start striking him in the abdomen to encourage him to give up sooner, as she could not continue on much longer. Unfortunately for Janius, when he tried one last time to throw her off of him, it disrupted her enough that she accidentally struck him in the groin. It was certainly not pleasant for Janius, but if he could push through it, Kaleeth was too sore and exhausted to continue fighting for long.

Peiter leaned over and kissed Sabine's cheek. "I know you love me, and I love you. I still like hearing you say it, though. You're...you're more beautiful than I'll ever be."

While Peiter was glad to share another tender moment with Sabine, he was perhaps frustratingly oblivious to the actual meaning of Sabine's words. He was too far under the influence of the alcohol to be able to think critically and read between the lines, as it were. He was not likely to understand anything not presented bluntly.
