Jarrith's eyes narrow and he glances at Khensu and Marot.  The look of agony on the shifter's face tells him everything he needs to know.He takes a step forward and says to the druid quite simply and quietly "'Embracing your demons' is a figure of speech, Janis.  While we all know of several of the horrific events that have shaped your life... those you have allowed yourself to share with us... they all came from within you.  They are your feelings, your emotions, your anger, your fear.  What you speak of now is submitting your soul to an outside force... to give up your status as a free-thinking, free-living being, and prostrating yourself to another.  You are now talking about actually embracing a demon... if we consider the curse of lycanthropy to be a demonic presence influencing and acting upon your soul."The big shifter steps forward as well and looks down sadly upon the woman standing in front of him.  He almost pleads with her.  "You cannot give in to this!  No amount of revenge or fear against those who have or would hurt you is worth purposely debasing yourself.  You are too good for that, Janis.  You have been too strong of a woman to give up on your humanity now." </blockquote>
