Lotor reacts quickly, after the push, or even during it, rushing at Mantis, fast, but then he hesitates and doesn't try to strike, not sure whether Mantis is an enemy or just an extremely impolite ally.
So he stops and looks at Mantis carefully, warily.
What do you want? a thought, of Lotor's, gets through Lotor's mind barrier. Because he's almost ready to ask that outloud, but not quite, yet.
Meanwhile, deep inside Hiroki's mind resists Mantis's grabbing.
No, he answers, I'm sorry, Mantis, I can't. If she doesn't have me, she'll take Ziggy. She said she will. So I can't. Go away. You'll just ruin everything!
