After telling Hotaru to focus, it was really fucking embarrassing for Tal to get distracted immediately afterwards. And yet, here he was, his eyes leaving his opponent to linger on a heckin' adorable turtle that gave him a little smile--
And Hotaru's command rang out, clear as a bell and with all the atavistic power of his second grade schoolmarm's voice, locking his joints and briefly turning his insides to water.
He couldn't even yelp as his jaw froze shut, too, and he struggled against the compulsion mentally even as his body remained unmoving.
But hey, at least he could watch the Tumsea for a few more seconds as it swam away!
Tal is FROZEN and cannot act!
