It's okay, I'll just have to stop it from pouncing then.
[Somehow she manages to say that with far more confidence than what she actually feels. She knows what to do, she has it clear in her mind and her ice will respond accordingly. She knows that her ice will melt eventually, between the general temperature and the body one, so she's not worried about the animal being left defenceless for long. The problem comes with the what if. What if she freezes too much for the animal to recover? She doesn't want to harm it, but Zoro is right, if it attacks them they will have to kill it and so the result will be the same.
The leopard keeps watching them but then shifts slowly, apparently getting ready to pounce. Elsa doesn't wait for an answer from Zoro when she sees that, choosing to be safe rather than sorry. Blasts of magic leave her hands, both landing on the ground right in front of the leopard. In an instant the ground is covered with ice, right under the animal's feet. The leopard tries to step back alarmed, but the ice is faster, with a gesture from her hands the ice seems to take life, raising and covering the big cat's legs immobilizing it. Of course, that causes the animal to get quite pissed off with her as its roaring demonstrates.]
