Sher watched first as the prince rose and all but dismissed him like he wasn't even important. After having spent time with Isa this was something that cut him deeply. He'd seen what a true ruler should be like. Anger began to build. Mounting inside him like a living beast. He remained standing, silently observing what was going on. A slight tic worked in his jaw as he clenched his teeth. The only outwards sign of the turmoil rising inside his soul and mind. His training and years of life had taught him it was unwise to cross the prince. Yet as he grabbed Isa something inside him broke. Logic, survival, intelligence gave way to a wave of overpowering anger. Everything tunnelled into a white dot on the man who was clearly hurting the woman he'd grown to love.<br/><br/>His eyes blazed in angry fury. His muscles tensed and in one unknown moment he flew straight at Arimas. His hand shot out faster then he'd thought it and he punched the prince squarely in the jaw. "HOW DARE YOU!" Sheridan thundered. The normally calm man pushed beyond what he could stand. Before he knew what he was doing he grabbed Arimas's by the shirt and pulled him until their faces were pressed nose to nose their eyes locked.<br/><br/>"That is neither the way to treat a lady nor the way to treat a woman," he said in a voice suddenly gone deadly quiet.
