Deklan made a mistake.
He didn't want to tell Kaelyn about his powers since he didn't know her well enough.
Marsha was completely different, as it was unlikely for her to do something rash, something that would put him in a lot of trouble because of who she was. Not to mention, she still, in one way, owed it to him for getting rid of Granny Linsa.
But Kaelyn was different.
She wasn't native to the forest.
Instead, she came out of nowhere along with her supposed group.
Deklan didn't know much about her other than her being the last survivor of the Jinketsu Clan.
His only reason for deciding to trust her was that she sounded genuinely good from how much guilt she felt for not seeing Zayne's transformation sooner. Had it not been for that, there was no way Deklan would bring her along.
Though on the surface, he deemed her as someone uptight and fierce.
And someone like that should be easy to dissuade.
