Kalec told Jaina that peace is a noble goal for the world but it is also a noble goal for one's self.

Later, Modera was looking for her and Jaina hid herself. At Hallow's End, after Jaina used a fire spell to ignite the wickerman to the crowd's delight, she and Arthas retreated to the prince's rooms and had slept together for the first time.
