Nasir would have sworn if he weren't busy struggling against his opponent. He was outmatched in this. There were disadvantages to his height and slighter build-- that was why he preferred the spear but he had no other option but to grapple with the other man.

But he was trying to wrest Nasir's weapon from him. So Nasir thrust it up towards him, hoping that the nails would sink into his flesh. At the same time he kept his grip on it, desperately hoping he wouldn't lose his hold while his other arm twisted so he could grab the man's hand and pry it off him.
