Iris grabs the pouch with a smile, adjusting her invention to support it with her other arm. "Got it! I'll spread them out some, then I'll be stationed at that bush loaded and ready to fire!"
And so Iris trots around the space, trying to get a few marbles in any place she thinks might be good for one of them to make a move should the cat spirit appear. Once it's to her satisfaction, she heads for her position. Kneeling down, she raises her launcher up to her shoulder and keeps her finger near the trigger.
It takes a good 20 minutes before anything happens, but this is actually much quicker than Iris was expecting. Off in the nearby trees, a small bell occasionally rings, getting closer and closer. Finally, the nekomata appears in the open, silent apart from its jingling collar. It makes for one of the piles of marbles, and seems fixated on them.
Iris decides to bide her time a little longer, but she'd completely understand if Anya did.
