>No, but you could be easily enough.
>Reasonably fast, but it is a thing that will telegraph itself and take a moment. The faerie you've pinned is fairly small, and shouldn't be a factor unless she bites you or wriggles out of your grasp or something.

> Let's try that, then. Pivot and turn and dash at the last fairy, trying to grab and pin-hold her with our right arm and torso the same way we captured the other fairy.

>You whirl around and throw out your arm. The faerie cries out and tries to back away, but you manage to clumsily enfold her regardless, and pin her loosely against your torso. You can feel her already starting to squirm out.

>For the moment.
>It might be.
>You might be able to overpower her a bit, but it might just help her squirm out if you apply pressure incorrectly.
>The other faerie is still squirming and raising a fuss, but you have a good enough hold on her, and she is small and light enough, that you don't think she'll be escaping soon.
