Kaleeth's return back to her bashful self would have been jarring after such a savage performance, but Janius expected it by now. Having both traits added to her charm in his eyes. Janius opened his mouth to respond when they were interrupted.

Janius smirked at the joke. Back in his youth, he might have taken the slight with more aggression. He instead looked across to the Nord and angled his head to reply to Kaleeth. "I think he's making a claim about my strength," he said in good nature. "Do you think he wants to fight? I can spare time for a bout."
