Grinning at his mate, Delano let off some pressure to allow her to at least slowly escape from his pin. "So you know... I think it just might be better if I do even the odds just a bit," he commented, "so you might umm..." he winked at Lina, "want to start running..." This time, he completely got off his mate to allow her to get up ant try to "escape".
Purposely waiting for Lina to get a lead on him, Delano found it amusing that Akili started to complain that he was letting her go. "Aww, it's more fun that way," he explained, just as he tore off after Lina. Sure, she was the one who did most of the hunting in the family, but he was no slouch when it came to running either. Gaining on his mate, he could hear her laugh and then quickly realize that he wasn't exactly playing around. Well, he was, but unlike Akili, he could actually pose a real challenge to her, and this time, she really did have to run as fast as she could should she even have a chance to escape. "Come on, Lina! Is that all you got?" Delano teased as he gained on her, "I'm gaining!"
