Contrary to her belief about Zacharias being the asshole, Nathaniel was in an entirely different class of assholery. If anything Zacharias was probably the nicest.. oh wait, nevermind. There was Adam. Still second nicest out of three wasn’t bad for Zacharias. As for why Reyna hadn’t seen Nathaniel’s pure asshole behavior that was simply because Reyna was hot. There was no reason for him to go to any extremes with her around and end up ruining any chance he had at getting under her clothes. A bit of a dick move, to be sure but.. well. He was a dick. Besides, she’d probably been warned countless times about him so as far as he was concerned it was her own problem that she didn’t take any of it to heart.<br/><br/><em>"So.. do you think people learn to defuse bombs by just doing it after reading a book? Making no mistakes.. First. You read.. Then you watch someone else do it. That’s what the class is for.. so you can pay attention to the Potion Master."</em>After that slight quip Nathaniel turned his attention to the potion to see what it was she was making, or at least trying to guess at what the potion was. Her comment about his mistakes went unanswered. Simply because he didn’t feel like putting unnecessary emphasis on something that didn’t need to be discussed. Especially the fact that he actually knew what he was doing when it came to how to deal with unstable potions. He kept looking over the caldron before watching as what was left in the caldron started to ferment and solidify at the bottom of the cauldron. He’d likely just need to nullify it and then toss what was inside.<br/><br/><em>"I’m sure the nurse would have regrown that hand of yours, no worries. The problem, is that you’d have been in agony for about.. a week all for the sake of that potion you could have asked for assistance with. Does that sound like a good trade to you?"</em>There was the slightest scoff from his lips as he turned his attention to the ingredient list she pointed to for Curing boils. That was all standard, as was the slugs. Though, just in case.<em>"Horned slugs right? How many?"</em>There was a slight gleam in his eyes as he turned his attention back towards her, wondering what her response might be. The ingredient list was in the potion book, so there was little to no way that was incorrect in anyway. Which meant she had probably fudged the ingredients somewhere, or done things out of order.. but he also really didn’t feel like calling her out on her mistake. Since if he did it was likely that she’d be sour with him and that didn’t really help him with what<em>he wanted</em>.<br/><br/>He thought over it, for a moment, before fetching some of the extra ingredients from the table and deciding to work the potion backwards just so that he could judge to see what would happen. Since it looked like the slugs were the last ingredients added, he went backwards from there and made sure to watch the cauldron to see that everything was neutralized properly. After the third ingredient, the bubbling stopped, leaving nothing but a sludge of what was supposed to be a potion. Now it was nothing other than a useless bile. All he had to do now was dispose of it.<em>"You don’t just.. magic away.. a failed potion."</em>His hand reached forward, pressing to her cheek and softly pinching it. After pinching her cheek enough to leave it slightly flushed he’d start moving up, intending to stand up now that he’d helped her before remembering the actual reason why he was here. While also noticing that she had scooted away from him.<em>"Now.. we can just toss this. You can thank me at anytime."</em>There was a slight smirk on his lips as he cast his gaze on her, watching her curiously. He'd wait for her response, and maybe flirt with her some more, before going to clean out the cauldron and continuing to help her. Lest she decided to do that herself to get away from his lecherous gaze on her.
