"You want me to distract him?" he asked nervously. The second it came out of his mouth, he realized how cowardly it probably sounded. "Okay, okay, okay."

He skated forward, still preferring his feet on the ground. It was a neat little trick he'd learned, using the ice powers to glide across the ground, like the entire world was an ice rink.

"Hey, stop!" he called out to Firefly, aiming blasts of his ice powers at him in the air. "Um, you're under arrest!"

That sounded at least vaguely authoritative, right? If it seemed like he was just trying to bring him in, it'd seem less like just a distraction.
