If we could just plug that... But there was no use thinking about that at the moment. He trying to calm his breath and slow his pulse, which was racing. His chest was tight and painful from the exertion, but he did not want to show this sign of weakness to Truebridge. He had to be on guard. For all he knew, Truebridge would cast on him and tell everyone he slipped and drowned. He would put nothing past the man who disabled him... the man who nearly killed him.

"There's nobody here." Ethan repeated a bit obstinately, even if there was a tinge of doubt colouring his words. It was a trial trying to decide whether to doubt himself or to doubt his former mentor.

He subtly flicked his wand again, another few degrees of warmth for Kazimeriz. Not that he was trying to help him or anything, it was just that if the old man got sick and keeled over, everyone would think it was Ethan's fault.
