Zacharias & EVERYONE
"Don't touch me you bloody wanker." Because that was the only plausible reason as to why Jasper Dorny could have stopped him. Zacharias struggled against Jasper, eventually shaking his arm free. Only by that point he didn't want to punch Michael. That had just been instinct anyway. It was the sort of thing you were supposed to do when someone hit you - you hit them back, preferably harder.
But there was something to be said about seeing Ernie Macmillan jump to his defense, so true to form it was almost pathetic. "Well, isn't that just classic Macmillan right here." Okay, so maybe it was pathetic and the sort of thing he wanted to see, confusing as his head was right now. Not that he was going to ever admit he actually liked having one person that might sometimes be on his side.
