> Please forgive our uncouthness, Father.
> Continue tickling the larger fairy. Tilt our head slightly away from the larger fairy if necessary to keep it out of the range of swinging arms.
> Dropping our left-hand sword, slowly slide our arm across the smaller fairy to get our hand to the closest button on our vest and undo said button.
> How many buttons does our vest have in all?

>Feeling guilty, you drop Hakurouken and try to unbutton your vest. The smaller faerie stays in place, but your hold is definitely weaker, and you can feel that she has openings that she could force open and squirm free.
>You undo your lowest button, you have two more.

> How is the other fairy holding up?
> Make our way up to the middle button and undo that one. Keep close track of the smaller fairy's squirming during the unbuttoning process, though, in case she figures out such a way to get free. Stop in the middle of the unbuttoning process if we need to prevent her from escaping. If it helps, use our arm to apply pressure toward ourselves as we move out hand up to make it more difficult for her to squirm about.

> Would we have any chance of trapping the smaller fairy under our shirt with the last vest button still buttoned? Or will we have to undo that one as well to have any hope?

> Keep our left arm & hand as secure on the smaller fairy as we can.
> Stop tickling the larger fairy and let go of her, letting her fall to the ground.
> Using our now-free right hand, untuck the front part of our shirt from our skirt so our shirt hangs down out in front of our skirt. Make sure we untuck enough width to be able to fit the width of the smaller fairy under the shirt. Try to keep an eye on the larger fairy's activities while doing this.

> Once we have this grip on the smaller fairy, drag her down to where our shirt is untucked and shove her up inside our shirt as far as we can. Press her against ourself as hard as needed to make the process of getting her inside easier.

>You try to pin the smaller faerie's legs with your right hand, and have some success, then undo your last button. The larger faerie rolls onto her hands and knees in the meantime and is about to scamper away.

> Drop down on one knee and bend forward. (This lean forward should be far enough that, if we were to let go of the fairy, she would not drop straight down out of our shirt, but get hung up for a moment on the fabric.) With our currently-free hand, grab the appropriate sword.
> Once we've retrieved this sword, bring our fairy-bracing arm out from under our shirt, and clamp our sword-holding-hand arm horizontally across the bottom of our shirt, pinning it to our body and 'sealing' the smaller fairy inside. In the same motion (as much as such is possible), grab our remaining sword with our swordless hand.
