The sudden flight into the air wasn't entirely unexpected - what else would a tentacle do when it wanted something off? - but it still made Nepeta's stomach lurch unpleasantly at the sudden motion. She twisted a hand to dig one of her claws deeper into the witch's flesh to secure her position as they went flying, the other claw flashing as she stabbed indiscriminately at the tentacle. It was easier to try and make this activity too painful for the witch to continue than to get a foolproof position during all of the undulations, although she was certainly attempting to wrap her legs around it whenever the opportunity was presented.
