Kaleeth looked at Janius with uncertainty in her eyes. So much had happened in the course of only a few days that she didn't know how easy it would be to go back to caring for him. For the entire four days she was missing, she thought about her father, and everything he said about Janius. He told her how he would ruin her life, and how he wouldn't care about her forever. She repeated those things so much to herself that she started to believe them. She wasn't the type of person that would want to be outwardly aggressive and angry like her father, but she had convinced herself that Janius didn't really care about her. Now, her faith in that conclusion was starting to waver. It was a bad idea for them to get together to begin with, but maybe his affections were real? He was risking his own health considerably by training her. Maybe their love was stupid and ill-advised, but there was no going back now. No way to get to her old life. That mistake was already made, and staying away from Janius would not change that.
Once again, Kaleeth had a hard time thinking straight with all the emotions flowing through her mind: love, hate, excitement, anxiety, she couldn't decide how she felt. Once more, after a minute or so of silence, she stopped thinking and just started acting. Suddenly, and without warning, she wrapped her arms around him and rolled back onto him, kissing him passionately. It was probably another mistake, but it was one she was glad to make.

Once again, Kaleeth was silent for a while. She looked up at the sky and let the rain bear down on her. The thoughts in her mind were filled with all sorts of regrets. She wanted to be home again, but she was starting to move closer to accepting her situation. The reality that she would not be able to return was in the beginning stages of setting in, and she couldn't stay distant forever. She would have to talk to the others, she would have to talk to Janius. There was no way she could just keep ignoring her problems. Even more, there was no way she could be happy while being alone like this.
"Because...I want to care again." Kaleeth answered simply, and without thinking too much about what she was saying. She wasn't sure where she was going with it, but she had to follow what she was feeling.

Kaleeth rolled off of Janius and laid down beside him in complete silence for a few moments. She thought about just heading back as Janius suggested, but there was something clawing at her mind, and it wasn't the beast spirit this time. It was her own regret, and her uncertainty about how things should be between them. "We...could talk, for a while." She suggested.
Once more, there was silence from Kaleeth for a few moments, but her mind was racing with thoughts. She wondered how Janius felt about her since she had turned. She had started ignoring him. Was that angering to him? Was he only training her and being friendly because he had to? She certainly had not been friendly in return. Before Janius could form any sort of question for her, her guilt caused her to speak up suddenly, without warning. "Janius, I...I hated you. I blamed you, I didn't want to be around you. I would not be a werecrocodile without you, so I wanted to get away from you. I started to wish I listened to father. I...still wish I could go home, but...I don't want to be mad at you anymore." She said with a shamed expression.

It's starting to get late for me, and I'm starting to get tired, so what I'll do is post up what I have written so far, which was in response to Ryonara's post. As soon as I get home tomorrow morning, I'll either respond to Ryonara, or edit on a second part to my post moving us on, depending on if I get a response before then. Do you guys want to take the bandit route for acquiring the crate of skooma, that way we get some fighting?
Sharee wound the whip back up and looked out across the crowd as she walked alongside Noelle. "Alright, show's over. Get back to your duties unless you want to be the next one to volunteer to go under the whip." She announced to the crew, who were quick to disperse upon her order. Noelle didn't seem to have that high of a pain tolerance, so she certainly gave a show the rest of the crew would not be soon to forget.
Reaching down with her free hand, Sharee grabbed Noelle by the arm and pulled her to her feet. "Come with me, we need to speak." She ordered in a forceful tone. Keeping her grip on her arm, Sharee guided Noelle into her cabin, then closed and locked the door behind them. She finally let go of Noelle's arm, then walked almost casually over to her table and set down the bloody whip on top of it. "Don't let it be said that I have no mercy." Sharee commented, grabbing one of the other healing potions from her bag and almost forcing Noelle to take it. "Drink, you need to get healed up quickly, else those gashes on your back will scar. I know, I would have some pretty bad ones myself if I would have neglected visits to the healers during my training."
Sharee took a seat at her table and ran her claws across the bloodied whip. "I notice you don't seem to have that high of a pain tolerance. I probably wouldn't have hit you so hard at first had I known. It wasn't necessary to intimidate the others. I know what it is like to be whipped. I've had to undergo about triple that amount of lashes before, and that whip wasn't coated in any potion. Actually, I've been flogged, stabbed, beaten, abused in every form you can think of, and many you can't. I've had over a dozen hooks stabbed into body from all sides, in every part of my body, then pulled as tightly as they could without ripping them out. I've had almost every bone in my body broken to the point that it was nearly powder, then slowly healed back to its normal state, only to be broken again. I've had my flesh ignited in magical flames, I've had lightning from three different mages all pumped through my body at once, I've had my body impaled by a dozen spikes, my life only sustained by the mages healing me. I would share more of the tortures I've experienced, but some of the others are a bit disturbing. Suffice to say, all of those tortures came from the Shadowscales who raised me. They taught me how to feel pain, how to ignore it, and how to deal it. The flogging I gave you...not so bad, really. I coated my whip in a healing potion before I began. You might have noticed the pain fading rather quickly? That would be why. You can thank your cooperation for that. Overall, I should thank you. After that show, I don't expect any of the others to act up for quite a while. I made sure not to mention exactly how you manipulated me during my little speech. Your illusion magic should come in handy for keeping the crew in line, should we need it. Who knows, you might even earn some extra pay out of it."

"I...I not know." Kaleeth answered. Being in control of her werecroc form...it wasn't something she could have really prepared for. She was stronger and more capable than she had ever been, but at the same time, she had come close to killing Janius, probably more than once. How many more times would that happen? She stopped herself this time, but if it happened again...it only took one mistake to end everything for him. It was a frightening though, and one she wanted to push out of her mind.
"The...werecrocodile, it is strong, very strong. I crushed a dreugh with my hands, and nearly pushed over a tree. It is just, it likes to take control. It is strong in my mind. Was it like that for you, did it take you over at first? I don't want to hurt anyone. I don't want to hurt you." Kaleeth asked. Over the past few days, Kaleeth had been distant from Janius, and the pack in general. Ever since becoming a werecroc, she had not felt the same towards Janius. Part of her blamed him for everything that was happening to her, and she couldn't help but to feel a bit of anger towards him. She didn't know if things would change between them, but after nearly killing him, and being close to him now, she was starting to remember what it was like to be with him.

Might take me a bit to write this, but I'll start now.
Kaleeth was quick to jump into the water after Janius fell into it, though not necessarily because she saw the danger he was in. Janius' challenge as set him up to be her prey, and she was acting on that impulse. She was still in control of her actions, but she wasn't thinking much at all. She was just acting. Her body was made for the water, so she had no issue swimming along with the current, and no reason to resist with how long she could hold her breath. She kept her arms close to her side and her legs extended out behind her to make her as narrow as possible while shifting her body back and forth in a similar manner as a fish. It was her tail that provided all of her thrust, and it was plenty powerful enough for her to hone in on Janius struggling to stay afloat in the water.
Eventually, the current forced Janius underwater, causing Kaleeth to speed towards him. In her muddled thoughts, however, she saw him as prey. She opened her mouth wide, intent on tearing him to shreds just as she did the dreugh. It was only a last second glance upon his face, a final rational thought that caused her to snap shut her gaping maw mere inches from his snout. With surprising willpower, she forced her beast spirit to retreat within her mind, then wrapped her arms around him and used her powerful tail to pull them both to shore. Once they were on (relatively) dry land, her massive body fell on top of him, though he did not have to bear the weight for long. She did not know quite how she was doing it, but she began to shift back into her Argonian form and cry out in both pain and regret. When the transformation completed, she found herself at least rational enough to look up and make sure he was still breathing.

Yeah, I had hoped to get through it sooner, but you have to adapt to the situation you're in, I suppose. After ryonara's next response, I'll move us along to something more exciting in my next one.
Kaleeth wasn't sure about Janius' new task for her at first. It seemed like a bad idea, it seemed like something that might cause her to go too far. She did not want to hurt him...and she hoped that did not change. Still, Janius was meant to be teaching her. He must know what he was doing, she reasoned. Despite her better judgement, she started trying to get up the tree to him.
Although Kaleeth was very strong, she was also very heavy. She was able to dig her claws into the tree bark and start trying to pull herself up, but the bark quickly gave way and sent her tumbling down onto her back. Even if the tree could hold her, she didn't even know if she was capable of pulling herself up like that. There was just so much of her to lift. She tried again and again, but every time it ended the same way: with her on her back, scrambling back up to her feet. It was frustrating to the point that she started to growl, then struck the tree in a hammerfist motion with both of her massive hands. It caused the tree to shake considerably, which was something that sparked an idea in the rational part of her mind. She couldn't climb, and she questioned whether the branches of any tree could hold her, but it was possible she might bring him down to her. Kaleeth backed away from the tree's trunk a few paces, then rushed forward and slammed into it shoulder first with all her might. The tree swayed back and forth, though not enough to cause Janius to lose his grip, so she repeated the action and slammed into it again, then once more after that. Eventually, she realized that if she slammed into it when it was moving away from her, it would sway even more wildly. The tree wasn't one that looked like it could be pushed in this manner, but Kaleeth was quickly proving that assumption incorrect.
