He took a moment to weigh his options. Professor Lazzara was glaring a little crazily, which meant he was probably already plotting retaliation for everyone involved, and Nate was going to be helping out in his class, which was just a scenario for disaster. On the other hand, he couldn't exactly go against the word of a healer, especially not to the healer's face. Plus, it would make Gerard sad. This really seemed like a no-win situation.
And Healer Williams? Yeah, that definitely translated into "You don't want to know about this."
"Alright," Nate said, making a hasty tactical decision. "I'm just going to keep on walking, because I never saw this. Uh. Sorry, Professor Lazzara." Hopefully Professor Lazzara would understand and not feel any need to retaliate. Nate didn't look back to see whether the angry glare was fixed on him.
