[The moment he's hauled up into the air by a forest exploding around him, he regains the ability to move; he braces one hand against the nearest branch and tries to process what's happened. 'Some confidence' in combat, he'd said. Natori huffs out a small laugh; he's had a lot of practice encountering people with more power than he'd imagined possible, lately, but he can still take a moment to be in awe of it.]
I thought you said you weren't bringing the entire forest, [is what he says first, because a movie star of all people knows the importance of timing your cool guy quips correctly. He closes his eyes and rubs the back of his neck with his free hand, chasing out an intangible stiffness. Alright, so. Status report.]
There was a figure there. Were you able to see it? [It's not a given, but the trouble is that it doesn't necessarily narrow things down if Vangeance wasn't. He'd assume someone capable of this sort of elemental manipulation should be able to see spirits at least as well as he could, but at the same time this place had challenged a lot of his assumptions.] Maybe 176 or 177 centimeters, wearing a blank reflective mask. It got close enough to touch before you... [a hand gesture to indicate 'all this,' even though Vangeance can't... see him through this nice protective forest bubble.] As soon as I saw it, I couldn't move.
[please note the 'couldn't,' new super powerful friend. he wasn't scared like some incompetent newbie!!!! pls believe.]
