Ikigai watched and waited with baited breath for her mate to find his way to her. She had noted the increase in his pace and knew that he'd caught sight of her as she had wanted him to. Tanuki and Willa had faded away now that the purple giant was on course. Back to the mountain, no doubt. Iki had it the situation under control anyway, but was thankful for the help that her friends had given.
From her place nestled between two concealing rocks, Ikigai heard the slither and snap of the net as her weighty mate fell into her trap. His call of surprise brought a throaty chuckle from the pale fae and she slid from cover to go stand beneath the net. Marbled eyes looked up to the captured brute with pleasure and affection. She'd bested him, but she knew that he'd taken it a bit easy on her. Still, he had fallen into her trap and thus, she was the victor.
Deimos extracted something from a pouch around his neck and handed it down to her. A small gasp was pulled from the woman as she laid eyes upon the delicate and beautiful piece of finery. As he reached down, she reached up, taking the bangle from her mate with nimble digits. Iki wasted no time in sliding it over her paw. The bangle settled in place as though it was always meant to be there. "It's beautiful," Iki spoke softly and reverently, her gaze on the bangle a moment longer before looking back up to the man above her. "I suppose I should let you down now."
Moving away from Deimos, Ikigai stepped behind one of the many chunks of rock and released a knotted rope. With the way that she had everything set up, Deimos drifted to the ground like a feather, thanks to pullies and leverage. Once the ropes were slack, she moved around the rock and helped peel the net away from the massive man. "So, in your culture, does this make me your wife now?" One brow arched in question. Was there more to be done or were they tied for now and always?
