Hemil's feet dig into the ground as he throws his weight against the combined strength of Tabatha and the plant. He favors his right side, putting most of his weight (and Tabatha's) on his left side. He was pretty sure that plant had broken a couple ribs, and each breath he took was a shallow rasp.

Hemil ducks away from Tabatha's wild swing and hisses into her ear,Damn it woman! Know when someone is trying to help you.

Gritting his teeth against the pain, Hemil draggs Tabatha back as far as he can (P8 for a half speed move action).

If the woman continues to resist Hemil will try to pin her (if thats possible. I'll have to double check the oh so confusing grapple rule), but if she no longer has the urge to walk into the plant's reach, he'll release her.
