I will be fine. At least it wasn't Sam who hit me. Now those hurt even when she does it playfully."<br/><br/>Just as he starts to leave, Arkain suddenly feels a large powerful hand grab his throat and then slams his painfully against the wall.

Hes got to think fast. He can easily see she is too powerful to defeat by shear strength. Hes got to try to out smart her. His eyes open very wide and he gasps again. He grabs her wrist then pretends to pass out. Letting his whole body go limp .
