...

...neither Orthros nor Kirlia managed to deal any damage before getting immobilized one way or another...

...so much for moving faster than ever before...

...Nathan doesn't really have the energy to summon the combee, nor give Kirlia any orders...

...and he doesn't have the energy to try digging through his bag right now to get his last Ice Heal...just holds the unconscious Orthros close and does his best to shield Kirlia...

Nathan's quietly withdrawing from the fight to let everyone else finish it off since they seem to have it under control.  The lack of self confidence is going to be VERY apparent now...

Whether it before or after the groups successfully overcame this dastardly night time ambush, the drastic plummet in Nathan overall self confidence and positive outlook was like a shining beacon to Ventus' empathy. Unfortunately for the boy, the researcher only had a unamused look for their current plight, as having a crisis of faith RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF HOSTILE TERRITORY AND POSSIBLY AT THE END OF THEIR QUEST did not earn the them any sympathy from him. Add in the empath's opinion that the young trainer seemed DETERMINED to remain in a dour, negative mood despite constant reassurance and support, the opportunity to grow/develop some sturdier emotional resilancy, and the fact that he just plain doesn't like them, and it should come at no surprise that he choose to ignore Nathan almost entirely. If the boy wanted to be miserable about himself and generally hopeless despite having all the reason not to be, then he can do it without his input....
