[Ives fights the head to try and get a hold with his magic. He's certain it's Nehan, doubt crushed from his mind as that sinking, tired feeling threatens to backfire on him, drag him unconscious in his attempts to pull at the beast's mind. Ives is experienced enough with his magic to shake this off.]
Can't get him... down- [he grunts, barely able to hold onto the thrashing beast while also trying to compel it to slumber. When he moves his bloodied hand from the snout he was grasping onto it, jaws snap at and catch him. He bleats in pain as he wrenches his hand away, narrowly avoiding the loss of fingers. His grasp is shredded, weak on that side, so he focuses that arm instead on wrapping around the beast's neck to further grapple himself in place and hold Nehan still.]
Give me- One more try- [Ives isn't so easy to dissuade. There's only one method he can think will work, something he'd never do to a person. He angles the open point of the horn closes to the beast, jabbing it directly into the hide of it's neck. Pouring his magic direct into the creature's bloodstream might finally get it to sleep... Ives trying to force a dreamscape for Nehan's consciousness to occupy with him, should there be anything left in this creature]
