> Are we current grabbing the fairy's sleeve from below?
> If so, would we have a better grip on the fairy if our arm traveled upward across her back such that we could grab her shoulder from above and kind of pull her a little bit downward as well as toward us?

>Yes.
>That might work.

Bah. Oh well.

>You slip your hand under the faerie's arm, and her shrieks and cries quickly take on a more mirthful quality as her struggles weaken considerably. "Quiddit!" she gasps.

If our arm is not long enough at present, do we have enough leeway to bring it closer to the center of our torso?

Well, if people are gonna keep letting this be my party even during my long stretches of unavailability, I'm just gonna take the keys to the bus and drive on.
