The man swore more coarsely as she latched on to him, dropping her polearm to restrict his movements. It wasn't a full wrestler's grab, not yet, but he wasn't nearly strong enough to drag her along.<br/>He should be able to stop her from getting closer by swinging around and raising his forearms in front of her. Normally, it would work, and then he could pull strongly, probably leaving part of his clothes in her grasp.<br/>The problem with this move is, it really only works with uncannily precise execution, or at least when you have two hands. He tried pushing against her chest, but she felt there was a "give" in his push, on the side of the hand that Kalaj had hurt earlier. Gritting her teeth against the pain of using her chest in such a way, she powered through his right hand and to his side, getting a better position and breaking his attempt to hold her away.<br/>At the end, she was behind him, and the still shining man was grappled across the chest. That was quite a favourable position, as they both knew well!
