With M'ibasa's manipulation of Tzirret's arm, Tzirret immediately realised his mistake, but he was in no position to to effectively resist. Tzirret tried to get up onto his knees to escape, but in that time, Ma'tanza had grabbed a hold of his neck and pressed his head into her collar rather painfully, but his head was sliding downwards...[i]No![/i] Tzirret had to try and resist. Unfortunately, trying to plant his knees to stop them turning him over only had his knees slide uselessly in the silt. Before he knew it, Tzirret was on his back with the siblings firmly pinning each arm and shoulder. Not even he could lift all of either of their body weights with just his forearms. Tzirret brought his knees up and tried to pull out to the river, but he would not budge.

[i]"Okay! Okay! You have Tzirret,"[/i] Tzirret said, his voice muffled through Ma'tanza's arm. His chest rose and fell, but he no longer struggled. [i]"Ma'tanza and M'ibasa are a good team,"[/i] he commented with a hint of solemn regret. [i]"Um...May Tzirret stand up now? Ma'tanza's arm is hurting his neck."[/i]
