Nathan rolled his eyes '[i]yeah right. Like I'm really going to believe that whatever this is feels sorry for her. It just needs her to give it more control over her body. And is everyone here too stupid to realize that I'm just trying to draw it's ire onto me?[/i] He thought to himself, feeling more bitter then normal. '[i]But if he's even the smallest bit right about just what this thing is...then any attempt to get it out of Meria that I make is likely to backfire. That really sucks. Why couldn't this be some garden variety spirit? I could deal with that no problem.[/i]' Nathan grumbled. Something about this whole situation just set him off. Maybe it was just the last in a long line of straws, or a really big one, but this was the straw that broke his back "and just why should I believe a word you say?" He demanded of the strange man who had just walked in "I have no idea who you even are. The only words I've ever heard come out of you mouth was some condescending remarks that, to be honest, I droned in and out of after the fist sentence you said. So I'll ask again; why the hell should I trust some asshole I've never met before? Oh, and do try to answer without some kind of smart alack response. Otherwise I might have trouble paying attention to you."
