"Wh-what the hell?!" Abigael stopped what he was doing, terrified of what just happened. Suddenly he felt all his strength fade and his speed drop. He looked at his glaive, now feeling heavier than normal, thinking that this was some side effect or the boost ran out, but the color was still there. He looked around and saw the staff pointed at him, and put two and two together. Immediately he began to worry. [i]Ah cripes, did I get found out that fast?[/i] Abigael was in a rough spot. He couldn't take anything from the cockatrice since his staff was already filled with a now useless aspect. "Well, if at the very least... I can try this!" Abigael started hollering and waving towards the cockatrice, attempting to distract it, hoping to be set up as a decoy. He probably wouldn't be able to dodge his attacks in time, but hopefully he can take a stab or two, maybe even a few of those petrifying spits. If anything, he's at least keeping the Exbeast from attacking with its claws effectively for now. If he can keep that going he'll still make it out of this fight in decent shape.
