Meria slumped in Nathan's arms, like a rag doll "what the!? What did you do to her!?" Nathan looked up at the strange teacher before going to check Meria's pulse. Finding that it was just fine, he concluded that she had just been knocked out '[i]well...that's a handy trick[/i]' Now that he didn't have to restrain her anymore, he could deal with this other guy. "If you really think I'm going to hand her over to a terrorist like you, then you're clearly as stupid as you think I am. Regardless of how I feel about her, keeping Meria safe is my job, and there will be hell to pay if I don't" as he spoke, he could feel the pressure growing slightly. Gritting his teath, he kept talking "so go ahead; make your threats, and keep up this spell of yours. Because it's only a matter of time before someone from the palace get's here, and I doubt you can fight while keeping me trapped like this. If you think this little trick scares me, then your dead wrong. I've faced things more painful then being crushed alive, so I can take this no problem" he snarled at the man.
