Elias had gotten away, but not without getting his mouth slammed shut by a clawed hand from the green glowy thing. That made the gator hiss in his mouth with some kind of emotion that wasn't anger. Maybe confusion? And oh boy he couldn't get his mouth open. That. That wasn't good.

The strange looking thing told Elias to stop attacking, and maybe Elias would have if his mouth wasn't currently shut by a clawed hand. He couldn't answer like that, either.

So, he moved to try and thrash his head around to make the thing let go.

Elias still couldn't speak, the lashing of his head doing nothing to allow him to let go. If anything, it made the strange thing grip harder. Elias stilled at that- there wasn't much he could do unless he somehow turned around a bit and managed to lash out with his tail. Then again, he didn't think he could turn that much away from the claws of the glowy green thing.

Eyes glared at the glowy creature without moving.

It was a show that fine, he wouldn't try to chomp down on the thing's legs. If Elias got stepped on again he wouldn't think twice, however, about trying to do worse than bite at the thing's legs.
