With a mischievous smile, Kaleeth immediately took the waterskin and downed its contents. Once again wrapping her arms around him, she pressed her snout against his nose and looked him in the eyes. "Is that good answer?" She said before giving him another kiss, the first of many in the intimate moments they shared.
The shadowed figure moved past the Hist tree in the center of the village, following the scent of the one it was searching for. Given how the marsh could obscure scents, it took time and effort to determine where she may have gone, but its progress was steady and certain. The figure did not appear to be in a rush, but it certainly appeared dedicated. Eventually, it narrowed down the direction she had traveled out of the village, as well as picking up on another scent that was a bit less fresh. At this point, the figure started moving more quickly, but more silently as well. The shadowy figure moved as if it was one with the shadows, with footsteps that were light enough that they might as well not even exist.
When the shadowed figure came upon Janius and Kaleeth, his face was revealed in the moonlight, and he was not pleased. Kaleeth saw him first and could not hold back a scream. She tried to move herself away from Janius, but it was too late; he had already saw what they were doing together.
"Father!" She shouted in surprise as she looked up at the imposing, tattooed form of Master-Hunter Zharanthixil before them. In the Master-Hunter's face was pure rage, directed completely at Janius at the moment. He bared his teeth while letting out a low hiss and balling his hands up into fists so tight that his own claws punctured his scales and drew a small amount of blood. He did not move for the moment, but he looked as if he was willing to beat Janius to death with his bare hands.

I think I'll do a bit of a skip in the next one
"I never really felt like this before. I thought I had been in love before, but I don't think I have. I liked him, but...it is not the same as with you." Kaleeth answered. She continued to hold on to him tightly, not really intent on letting go. Being Imperial, he was very different from her, but honestly, she did not consider that a bad thing. As far as attractiveness was concerned, he didn't exactly fit the Argonian definition of handsome. Without horns, a tail, or even a snout, he didn't even have half the features necessary for it, but there was something else about him that she couldn't quite place, something she found appealing. Of course, it wouldn't have mattered if he was the ugliest man in Tamriel, that wasn't why she was attracted to him.
"With you, I love talking to you ,taking time with you, hugging you, just...being around you. There is not anything I would rather be doing than laying here with you." Kaleeth continued. She paused for a moment and gave a grin before amending her statement. "Well, there is one thing." Kaleeth reached out and grabbed the satchel she had taken from her parents' hut. She opened it up and pulled out a small leather waterskin as she locked eyes with him.. "I did bring the...potions, we talked about."

They could still talk for a while.
Kaleeth was silent for a few moments as she thought. She put her hand on Janius', then took a deep breath. "I...do not know if I can pretend. I do not want to. I know this will not be easy, but I do not care."
Kaleeth removed her satchel and loincloth, then slipped into the water beside Janius. She put her arm around him, then looked at him with equal amounts of fear and longing. She was definitely scared, but she was also certain, and it showed in her expression. "I would regret more if I did nothing, and never learned what would happen." With that as her answer, she wrapped her arms around him more tightly and gave him her deepest kiss yet.
In the middle of the village, a figure walked, obscured by shadows. It walked with purpose, in utter silence. It peered through the cloth that served as the door for the common hut and observed which bedrolls were empty. Then, without a sound, it left just as quickly as it had arrived.

Honestly, I never expected it to become as involved as it has. Given what I knew about Janius' character, I expected that he would actively attempt to court her, only to end up causing a bunch of problems with a certain other complication I have not yet mentioned.
Things got complicated.
Still, it has been rather interesting.

I posted, but I need to go to bed. Goodnight.
"I...I not know." Kaleeth said, her emotions clouding her memory of the grammar Janius taught her. "This is all so confusing. I never wanted it to be like this. I know...you won't be here forever. You have the ritual, then you will be gone. I like you, I...love you, and I can't stop. I want to, but can't. In few days, you will be gone, and I can't stop it. I think we would be happy with each other. I not know for sure, but I think so. If we try to find out, I think it will hurt when you leave. I know it will hurt."
Kaleeth stopped for a moment and looked down to Janius with a hint of tears in her eyes. "But will it hurt more than never knowing at all?"

"I just...I want to talk to you." Kaleeth responded as she sat down beside Janius with her feet in the water. "I don't want to go on without talking to you about...before. I know what you said about the risk, but...I don't know. I don't know what I really want to say. I am confused, very confused. You are nice to me. People are not usually nice to me like you are. I like you; I like being around you. When you said no, I thought I could stop thinking about it, but I can not, and I don't know why. I...I want to know, is it same for you?" Kaleeth looked at him with an uncertain expression. It was clear she was facing just as much inner turmoil as Janius.
Ahnasha was just as concerned as Fendros as to what happened to Janius. He looked like he had turned, but he gave no response to Fendros. No matter what happened, he knew Janius well enough to know that he would tell them immediately if something happened that would put them all in danger. Even so, he was acting quite strangely, and she wasn't quite sure what to make of it. Perhaps something happened with the Argonian woman he had been seeing, something he didn't like. Regardless, he looked angry enough that she really wasn't keen on approaching him, and his presence had brought her down from her good mood.
Returning Fendros' concerned expression, Ahnasha sighed and rolled up her canvas. "Maybe...we should finish this later."
The rest of the day was uneventful for most. Lorag and Sabine trained off and on for most of the day. They made some good progress, but as Lorag said, there was really only so much that could be accomplished in such a short period of time. Ahnasha and Fendros spoke to Meesei about Janius, who was, unsurprisingly, just as concerned, if not more, about him. They spoke for quite a while, but in the end, Meesei agreed that it would be best to give him some time to himself before speaking with him. She trusted that Janius would inform them if there was something they needed to know, and she would make sure to talk to him the next day if he was in the same kind of mood. She did at least go and check up on him after he did not show up for dinner, but once she saw that he had fallen asleep along the riverbank, she decided to let him rest and retired to the common hut for the night.
Kaleeth had been busy for most of the day moving the wamasu back to the village, then skinning it for its hide. It took an entire team of her fellow hunters to carry back the beast, and while she was around them, she was at least able to keep up the appearance of being in a good mood, but on the inside, all she could feel was depression. Even she couldn't figure out why this was affecting her to such an extent. She had been interested in men before and had been rejected, why was this any different? She was generally confused and frustrated at the situation, and could not stand to leave it as it was. After everyone had gone to sleep and she noticed Janius was not in his bedroll, she silently slipped outside and searched around for him, following his familiar and pleasant scent to his location.
After a few minutes, Kaleeth found Janius asleep just outside in the river, along the bank. His head and shoulders were resting on the shore, while the rest of his body was partially submerged in the slow-moving waters. Kaleeth, in addition to a replaced loincloth, was now wearing a satchel on her waist, something she had taken from her parents' hut.
"J-Janius. Are you awake? I want to talk to you." Kaleeth said, unable to hide the nervousness in her voice.
