>You swing up your legs and squeeze them around the larger faerie. It's not a very good hold, but it does help contain her squirming. Her fists pummel against your thighs, but to little effect.

> Let's chance it, then. Odds are the smaller fairy is super irritated with us for what we've done to her and she'll want to punch and kick us some more before thinking of trying to escape.
> Switch our grip on the larger fairy from the strenuous bear hug to grabbing her shoulders. Squeeze a bit with our legs at the same time, if we can apply the extra pressure.

>You grab the larger faerie by the shoulders, and let your legs do much of the work, applying extra pressure and being rewarded with a strained squawk. The smaller faerie is still struggling and flailing.

>Not really, it's a bit difficult to tell such things, given the scenario you're in.
>She's definitely directing more violence toward you than your garments.
>They might have, before you rolled onto your back. Now there's more danger she might slide under your arm, and possibly around to your back.

> Could we move parts of our arms against our sides to prevent this from happening without loosening our grip on the larger fairy? We don't even need to apply any pressure, we just need to have limbs in place that she can't accidentally roll under. If this is possible, then do so. Otherwise, don't worry about it, it's not a huge risk.
> Ease up ever-so-slightly on the leg squeeze. We don't want to break the fairy in half, just keep her in place.
> Take on an even tone.
