Do What We Must

Venom seemed to think her words over, then asked what Ikigai had in mind for higher terms. It needed to be something to sweeten the deal. The young fae thought, dark ears tucking back for a moment as she did so. What did Manea value? Family, certainly. Power, of course. Iki thought back to their first meeting and remembered how highly the purple fae had praised her 'gifts' as she had called Iki's mutations. The girls silver and obsidian marbled eyes opened a little wider and she stared at her mother.

"What if we offer an alliance not only in faith, but in blood?" Iki spoke a little slowly at first as she still mulled over the idea. "One of our wolves tied to one of theirs?" Iki then went on to explain her thought process. "Family is very important to Manea. By giving over one of our own family into her safe keeping, it would show trust. By binding an Ashen wolf and an Elysium wolf in a marital bond, it would solidify that trust in an unbreakable bond." Unless you were her cowardly father... Iki looked hesitantly to Venom, looking for feedback on her idea.
