Alea felt a period of real panic when she found she couldn't move and could barely breathe with the weight on top of her. That had not necessarily been the smartest plan (despite it having worked). Her panic receded as quickly as it had arrived as he scrambled off of her, and she was able to grin at his obvious swearing, even though she couldn't understand a word of it. (Nor was she aware that he was inadvertently cursing much of Denval.) Unfortunately, he was still trying to hold onto her. Yeah, no, sir, that was NOT going to happen. Old (and not-so-old) instincts of escape rose in her, and she flailed her arms wildly, kicking up at his arms to try to get him to completely lose his grip.
