Perhaps all of her work had been futile in trying to forcefully convince him to release her; maybe deep down she'd known the whole time that her right paw was going to be out of order after this match. Her breath nearly completely escaped her and almost refused to return as his pressure multiplied and she felt her toes break, one by one, with a series of sickening snaps. In return she also tried to tighten her grip, no longer wishing to merely injure, but hopefully maim. She barely felt his claws irritating the skin past her thick fur, leaving slight scratches but nothing more. This time when he attempted to bring her down, she was in too much pain to counter it and she went down. As he pushed and she fell to the right upon her side, she still did her best to keep her grip firmly and relentlessly on his muzzle, craning her neck to reach and propping up her upper body with her left limb as she regained a sense of where the ground was. Jupiter felt herself dizzying from the pain and didn't trust herself to let go or else she might not have been able to find another target in her daze.

It would be her turn to thrash and should she still have a hold on the vulnerable area she would amplify her force as he release her paw, keeping the injured appendage tucked against her stomach for protection. Jupiter herself would now be the one to thrash, attempting to jerk the weight of her body to her left and then to the right, and upon the last stroke to the right she would suddenly drop to hopefully hang upon him, centering her weight forward to put it all behind the pressure of her grip and removing her left leg so it would not subtract from the weight. Knowing that this would cause her to lose her grasp if he found some way to have his head tilt from her mass, she released it on her own, still a little disoriented but being able to track his movements well enough to understand what he was likely going to do.

With Jupiter no longer clutching the brute with her teeth, the celestial woman dropped to the earth, bracing herself only by bending her left leg and using it as a support. She stooped about a half foot above the ground and then threw her own body leftwards as he threw his own right, hoping to trip him since her lowered collective height reached only up halfway past his knees. She sincerely hoped that he would fall sharply and directly onto his side and lose his breath long enough for her to react but Oddity had already proved to be a painfully challenging opponent. The woman knew she could not stick around long after the fight--the excruciating pain in her paw was near-crippling, dulled only by the adrenaline coursing through her veins.

Out of habit, her neck was still scrunched and her ears were still pinned, just in case he had enough time to react and try and make a grab at either. Her eyes were narrowed as well considering that the brute seemed to have a tendency for grabbing or flailing and she wished to preserve her optics should a stray claw come too close. Tail was thrown even and her left paw was still tucked firmly to her chest for protection. Shoulders were still tucked forward and her shoulder blades were hidden under her fur, her head lowered and tail out even.

It was just then that the magnitude of this challenge for Ludicael hit her. She had been pampered--spoiled almost--in the years that her reign had gone uncontested. Her children, her friends, her lover... they were all important to her and all of that was now at risk of being taken away. Determination surged within her heart and, whether her attack would work or not, at the end of her movement she would attempt to execute a single-turn roll to cushion her momentum and begin the early stages of it, well on her way to rising as soon as possible, evening her weight to the best of her abilities upon three paws.




round 4/4

jupiter vs. oddity for ludicael


ATTACKS: Still attempting to hold on to his muzzle. Jerks her head left, and then right, and then on the latter she drops her weight suddenly, pulling up her left leg to try and do as much damage to the bridge of his maw before finally releasing it. As he throws himself to the right, she stoops and throws her weight similarly to the left, trying to trip him.

DEFENSES: Shoulders forward, shoulder blades down, eyes narrowed, ears pinned, tail even, injured paw tucked to her chest for protection.

INJURIES: Has a painful, 1/4th-inch-deep wound on the upper top of her neck that will likely scar. Painfully broken toes on her right paw. Has wide cuts/gouges on top of her right paw and ankle, as well as her pads cut in a couple of places, from where his teeth dragged down her flesh. Minor scratches on her chest from his claws.



OOC: Yaaaay! Finally done. c: It was nice fighting with you~

"speech"

Symphony could detect the sudden change in Novella and pressed into her for comfort."No matter what we are family. And dont worry i'll just task you with helping me clean the wounds and stop the bleeding." She whispered softly. She knew this was hard for her younger sister. She had never seen any of this kind of thing. The older siblings and the family had ensured that. So she could only imagine how Novella felt. Myth would look confused and give an answer. Symphony relaxed some, seeing how the young girl just got catch up on the wrong end of things."I'm sorry i snapped Myth, I'm just stressed and worried. It nearly shocked and scared me to see you behind that male. Adventures are fine, but you must always keep your wits about you. Before you follow blindly, you must learn all you can. Then make your choice. If you join Ludicael, youd be able to meet your other older sister and her pups. Anthem has joined too. Listen, no matter what choice and path you choose in life, you will always have family, same for you Novella. Never forget that.." She said softly and looked at both her younger sisters lovingly. But her attention would soon return to the fight, shoulders twitching. She had seen fights before but had never liked them one bit. They actually disturbed her highly and would surely lurk in her dreams for the next few nights. Speech,

ODDITY VS. JUPITER FOR LUDICAEL Round 1 ODDITY: CLARITY: 3/10 ?As his jaws opened up he tried aiming for the left side of her face? whose left? His left her hers? (-2) ?His forelimbs pulled up as he tucked his shoulders to try and get a hold on her own shoulders.? Shoulders don?t really tuck, so it?s extremely difficult to understand what you mean here. (-3) Where on her face is he aiming? You mention in your notes, but not in the actual post itself, which is where you need to mention it. (-2) POWERPLAYING: 0/ 10 ?as he pushed his hind legs in order to slam all of his body weight into her? the way this is worded makes it seem like you?re saying he automatically slammed his weight into her. (-5) ?He was going to thrash her about as much as he was able to? same thing here. (-5)? ?Oddity used his body weight as much as he could to thrash her about and press on her to pull pressure on her.? Once again, don?t assume he was able to do this. (-5) DEFENSES: 4/10 Ears, tail, toes, legs, head tucked, eyes. -2 for not readjusting when he lifted up on two legs ATTACK: 2/10 He goes for her face, which is a vital, sensitive area (+5). I?m not certain, however, how he?s supposed to thrash around and manage to stay on her shoulders at the same time (-2). He does make use of his weight (+3), but the wording is rather vague about what exactly he?s trying to do with it (-2). It also places his throat vulnerably within range of her jaws (-2) INJURIES: 10/10 First round. No injuries. Round One Oddity Total: 19/50 Jupiter: CLARITY: 8/10 ?turning it and her neck to the right after she bore his weight upon her shoulders? Whose right? His or hers? (-2) POWERPLAYING: 0/10 Oddity?s bite attack on her face was aimed before his attempt to put weight upon her shoulders. Therefore, it?s not really logical that she would feel his weight and react that way. Therefore, it doesn?t make sense that she didn?t take damage to her face as intended (-5). ?The force of his momentum caused her body to rock back a bit as she kept her paws in the same place, only kicking her right hind leg a little further out? if her weight is fully on her front legs, in this instance she would not have enough time nor balance to transfer it to her back legs to help fix her balance(-3). ?She would try her best to advance in return with all of her weight being thrown forward and a bit upwards with her legs? similar note here with the weight transfer. (-3) DEFENSES: 0/10 Legs spread, claws, ears, weight distributed, tail,? front legs spreading just a tad as all of her weight was put upon them? honestly, this isn?t a good defense. Her weight should be evenly distributed across all four limbs for fair balance. (-2) There was no eye protection (-1) or throat/neck protection (-3). ATTACK: 5/10 The jaw attack is to a fragile, non-vital area (+4). Her use of leverage would be effective (+3). However, she could have gone for something more vital to Oddity?s ability to fight (-2). INJURIES: 10/ 10 Bite to neck (no deductions, first round) Round One Jupiter Total: 23/50 Round 2 Oddity: CLARITY: 5/10 ?The boy tilted his head and opened his jaws aiming for the scruff of her neck to pull himself into a better position of balance and to inflict damage.? Several things are off with this. One, when did he even release her? Two, where on her scruff is he aiming to bite? (-5) POWERPLAYING: 0/10 ?his front muscles tightened his paws on her shoulders? You can?t assume his paws were able to tighten upon her shoulders. (-5) ?Pressing as hard as he could to taste blood if he could.? Don?t assume he was able to grab her scruff again (-5). You also never really explained why he didn?t lose his balance (-5). DEFENSES: 2/10 Tail, legs, eyes, ears, claws. -3 for no neck defenses. ATTACK: 1/ 10 One claw attack to the shoulders (+1). Claw attacks really aren?t effective on wolves; wolf claws are dull, and wolf fur is thick, and it?s not really realistic that Oddity could keep any sort of grip upon Jupiter with them (-2). One jaw attack towards her scruff, which is vital (+4). However, his head is presumably still to Jupiter?s left, so turning his head to the right to get to her scruff doesn?t make much sense (-2). His jaws would be tilted away from her. INJURIES: 7/10 Deep bite wound to scar tissue on shoulder (-3) Round Two Oddity Total: 15/50 Jupiter: CLARITY: 2/10 ?he cycle of her legs on the initial push came to an end and she used this to lunge forward once more? This sentence really doesn?t make much sense. (-2) ?She focused her weight backwards, slowing her momentum slightly but making it so that she could plan for coming to a halt should he end up beneath her.? You say she?s moving back here, but then later on you say she?s moving forwards? ?Oddity's jaws, however found mostly flexible fat with the scrunching of her neck.? How much damage did his jaws do? (-2) POWERPLAYING: 0/ 10 ?the cycle of her legs on the initial push came to an end and she used this to lunge forward once more? (-3) There?s no mention of her touching down on the ground, and even if she had, touching down and then immediately moving doesn?t seem highly possible. (-2) Doing two jaw attacks in this post isn?t fair. You need to give Oddity time to react to the first one before going on to the second one. (-3) Her moving forwards and back is also too much movement. (-3) DEFENSES: 7/10 Stance, tail, shoulders, neck scrunched, ears, eyes, weight ATTACK: 5/ 10 Two jaw attacks to a nonvital scarred area (+4). Honestly, it?s rather redundant, and the shoulder area would hurt, but she could be going for things more likely to end the fight and affect his functionality (-2). Use of weight advantage against a smaller opponents is present (+3), but it?s confusing and the number of attacks attempted is a bit pp?ish (see deductions in clarity and powerplay). INJURIES: 6/10 Bite/grip to scruff (more heavily deducted than oddity?s injury because the neck area is more fragile and vital, and a grip there would pose more of a threat to Jupiter) Round Two Jupiter Total: 20/50 Round 3 Oddity: CLARITY: 8/ 10 ?His weight was not moving with him? This really does not make sense. (-2) ?He moved his forelimbs lower in order to finish his movements.? POWERPLAYING: 0/10 ?As soon as she tore more he slid underneath her but kept his firm grip on the back of her neck.? Don?t assume he?s able to get beneath her (-3). Also, it?s incredibly unrealistic that he?d be able to be beneath her, and holding onto the scruff of her neck at the same time (-4). ?Oddity pushed his forelimbs up on her chest to try and keep her from pressing her weight upon him? don?t assume he?s able to do this (-5). Don?t? assume he?s pressing against her, or his head is able to pull to her left limb. You must use an attempt word with everything you try. Honestly, it?s seeming that it?s a bit much that he?d be able to kick up so soon after landing upon his back. DEFENSES: 0/10 Jaws, tail, eyes, ears. Honestly, his throat is extremely vulnerable in this position, and really needs protection (-5). ATTACK: 5/10 Appropriate attacks considering his vulnerable position (+5). INJURIES: 6/ 10 Torn scar from his shoulder (-4) Round Three Oddity Total: 17/ 50 Jupiter: CLARITY: 5/10- ?iguring that her tail would not be enough to protect her, she lightly pivoted her body past parallel and barely facing her left, both hind legs minutely to Oddity's left side.? Honestly, this does not make sense. What do you mean ?past parallel?? Parallel to what? (-3) To what extent was the damage to her paw? (-2) POWERPLAYING: 5/10 You never mentioned why Oddity?s head movement didn?t knock her off balance. Yes, she readjusted, but his head movement would still have affected her significantly. (-5) DEFENSES: 2/10 Balance, ears, tail, eyes, toes. -3 no neck defenses. ATTACK: 5/10 A single attack to a vital area that would be painful and potentially crippling (+5). However, Jupiter has a heavy advantage in her position, even with her paw captured. She should have done more (-2). INJURIES: 6/ 10 Grip/damage to paw (-4) Round Three Jupiter Total: 23/50 Round 4 Oddity: CLARITY: 0/ 10 ?Twisting and squirming himself, Oddity lifted up his right shoulder towards her lowered chest. His back paws, after missing his kick, came to his side and scraped into the dirt? How are his legs touching the ground? You say he?s twisting and squirming, but mention nothing about him turning over (-4). It?s also not clear about how he?s able to keep a grip upon her paw (-3), or how her grip managed to stay attached as he twisted (-3). POWERPLAYING: 0/10 ?His tail flailing in the dirt behind him, he tugged to the left onto her paw.? There should be an attempt here (-5). ?if of course Jupiter allowed him to, or if he had enough time to? Don?t use conditionals. (-3). In general there is a lot of movement in this post that isn?t really fair to Jupiter as it doesn?t give her time to react (-4). ?he viciously pressed up with all of his might to over throw her? Same thing here, you need an attempt phrase. (-5) DEFENSES: 6/10 Ears, neck, shoulders, eyes, toes, tail. ATTACK: 7/10 Use of leverage (+3), use of jaws on captured/vulnerable area (+4) INJURIES: 6/ 10 Grip/punctures on his nose (-4) Round Four Oddity Total: 19/ 50 Jupiter: CLARITY: 0/10 ?keeping the injured appendage tucked against her stomach for protection? probably just a typo, but putting her paw against her stomach would be incredibly awkward. (-2) ?centering her weight forward to put it all behind the pressure of her grip and removing her left leg so it would not subtract from the weight? this honestly does not make sense, especially since removing her left leg would leave her faceplanting, because her right limb is tucked (-4). What sort of damage occurs specifically to her from the fall (i.e. bruising?) (-2) Her ?roll? is confusing; is she doing this in conjunction with her attempt to slam into him? (-3) POWERPLAYING: 0/10 ? should she still have a hold on the vulnerable area she would amplify her force as he release her paw? essentially the same thing as a conditional (-3). For her to land on the ground and then get up is a lot of movement, and it?s not fair to Oddity (-4). Honestly, in this entire post her balance would be compromised enough that she could not execute her attacks (-3). DEFENSES: 4/10 Neck scrunched, ears pinned, eyes narrowed, tail, shoulders, head lowered, balanced on three paws. compromised balance throughout entire post (-3). ATTACK: 7/10 Uses weight to knock into Oddity (+3), attempts to tighten grip on vulnerable area (+4) INJURIES: 4/ 10 -5 multiple broken toes, -1 light scratches from his claws Round Four Jupiter Total: 15/50 Totals: Oddity: 70 + 0 (duty not applicable) = 70/200 Jupiter: 81 + 7 (for avenger) = 88/200 And the winner is... Jupiter! Oddity must give up by either submitting, fleeing, or passing out. Damage: Jupiter- most serious damage done to her foot, with multiple broken toes that will take 6 IC weeks to heal. Oddity- most serious damage done to his muzzle and chest, with deep punctures/torn flesh that will take 3 IC weeks to heal. Notes: I am a stricter judge, so please do not feel that these scores mean that you guys were terrible or anything. I usually do lower scores. Both of you did poorly with PP; don?t assume anything about the other character, and keep a close eye on realism. Be careful with the number of movements you make per post. Star, you often didn?t accurately explain why Oddity?s attacks did not hit, or why Jupiter was not knocked off balance. Sei, you often neglected to mention attempt phrases for movements or attacks. In general clarity was difficult; it was a hard fight to understand. Usually, it helps to say what position the character is ultimately attempting (i.e., an ?L? shape position, or something along those lines). Also be certain to specify where you are attacking. Both of you could use way more defenses. I know about 14, so certainly feel free to PM me and I?ll give you a list that you can work from. Both of you did will, however, with taking realistic wounds when the wounds did hit. Your uses of leverage and weight in attacks were also extremely good! Please message me if you have any questions or concerns, but otherwise the fight was fun. It was nice to see a fight that didn?t stay strictly face to face for once! -MUSE-

Oddity gave in, he pulled himself crawling out from under her. Panting as his heart beat faster within his chest. He was alive? He was alive! He hadn't won, he had lost, but he was alive. He had never been in a serious fight without the apparent death tole that had taken place. Yet now, he had realized something. He had gotten way over his head in the emotions he had dug out for Isar. Upon realizing this, he turned towards Jupiter the victor, and dipped his head. Blood soaking his fur as he gave a small expressionless laugh. "It seems I've made a fool of myself." He was not a kind man, but he couldn't help but feel, different. Oddity shook his fur, he would be sore, he wouldn't be able to scent for some time either. Yet still he was alive standing among these Ludi wolves, possibly hated in which he wished he cared but he didn't. As he had noticed earlier, Myth's family was here. This slightly brought joy to his heart to know the young girl was not alone. This would most likely be his last conscious conversation he'd ever have. He stayed but a few feet away from her, lowering his head and ears defeated, but still trying to show no harm towards the others. "Myth, I'm sorry I couldn't give you much of an adventure, but, you should be with your family rather then me. If you stick with me you'll end up in a position you won't like very much. And," He looked over at the other ladies, "They're a much better family then one I could ever have." Release her from his clutches. Oddity tucked in his tail and gave a smile. He looked over at the rest of the Ludicael's. "You all have a strong leader, she is gladly a commendable lady. I'll take my leave now, hate me if you wish, but there is no room for remorse in my heart, even if I wanted." Oddity turned away, back towards his home Galciem. Probably the only place he'd ever fit in with his mentality and love towards isar. -exit Oddity unless stopped- Speech,

Ahlon had been relatively peaceful, perhaps the surrounding areas lending themselves a little more to violence though Novella knew nothing of them and it wasn't very often she had seen them either. It really hadn't been difficult to shield her from any serious fights perhaps that was why this was all the more shocking to the young girl. She felt Symphony shift a little closer and though she perhaps may have been a little more reluctant to admit the fear around some of her other siblings, there was no worry here now. "No matter what we are family. And dont worry I'll just task you with helping me clean the wounds and stop the bleeding." Novella just gave another steady nod of her head, tearing her gaze from the fight and looking to Myth as she joined them. The joy of finding some of her siblings had apparently faded a little now, Symphony's reaction certainly taking away some of that. Still how Myth could have been quite so carefree when this clearly wasn't play Novella really didn't understand. She remained silent as her sister's exchanged words, then at Symphony's mention of their elder sister, her mismatched sought for the form of Song. Now wasn't the time for an introduction though to be honest, deep down Novella knew that and though a part of her wanted what family was present close right about now, she opted instead to remain put for when Symphony needed her help. That moment seemed to arrive rather quickly. The fight appeared to be slowing and finally the black male paused and to Novella's surprise and pleasure gave in. The feeling did not last long however as he suddenly turned, moving in the direction of Myth, Symphony and herself. She tensed again, though a part of her suspected that they would be safe, he had just willingly walked away from his fight with Jupiter, to start another with one of her pack members in his current state would have made him far more foolish. Perhaps it was only that realisation that brought on a little burst of courage, more so than the longing to protect her sisters, but she straightened herself slightly all the same, carefully eyeing the man as her hackles began to rise. All he wanted was to speak with Myth it seemed and at his words Novella could understand her sister's mistake in siding with him. He didn't actually seem too bad now, though of course given the circumstances she certainly didn't want anything to do with him and hoped that Myth would listen to his words and remain here. As he turned to walk away, Novella's gaze shifted briefly to Jupiter and then back to Symphony. She imagined now that her sister would need to go and help her. "What do we do?"

All at once the male withdrew, berating himself. Under normal circumstances, not even his submission would have prevented her from attempting to bring more pain upon his existence, but the severe injuries inflicted upon her horridly broken toe was not a normal circumstance. She hobbled backwards uneasily, doing her best to support her weight with her three legs, audits forward so she could listen past the pounding of blood in her temple but other defenses still set and wariness in her narrowed eyes. Celestial gaze followed him closely as he communicated to the other fae that he had arrived with and for the first time took full notice of her onlookers. Confusion briefly crossed her features before it was cleansed from her countenance and she raised her chin slightly, still eyeing the brute, naturally wary of his quick retreat.



Oddity departed and she allowed for it. When a good amount of distance was thrown between them she immediately plopped her rear onto the earth, examining her paw. It was bad--really bad. She swallowed hard and looked up at Symphony. "Symph?" she managed, feeling the adrenaline wearing off and the pain beginning to pierce the haze of hormones. Her timbre was glazed with relative agony and the woman sounded weaker than any present had probably ever been close to hearing her before. All she knew was that she got to keep Ludicael, and that she needed immediate treatment.

"speech"

Oh, the battle would end, and the serpent would immediately move herself towards the russet queen. The foe was defeated, just as she had predicted, but the midnight mistress was a portrait of concern. She moved quickly, hoping to press herself into Jupiter?s side, but leaving plenty of room for Symphony to work. ?Does it hurt badly?? she asked, a simple question that had an obvious answer. Medusa was not good at these sort of things, but she wanted to be attentive. She hated to see her sun battered, but there was little that could be done about it. ?Alena lost Amenti,? she informed her russet lover, perhaps at an inappropriate time, but it was the first she?d been able to speak of the news to her obsession.

The midnight mistress that was her mate pressed close and Jupiter leaned lightly upon her, making a move to bury her features into the fur of her lover's neck. Jupiter's eyes closed and she focused on evening her bleeding and controlling the state of her consciousness. The woman had never broken a single toe before but to have most of them brutally snapped was making her head spin. She focused on the warm body pressed against her, bringing the rise and fall of Medusa's chest to the forefront of her attentions and clinging onto the small details of her presence. "It doesn't hurt as much with you here," she whispered gently, swallowing hard.

Another bit of dialogue reached her audits and she made an attempt to pull away, using her left leg to hop just a bit to put distance between their dials so she could try and stare her mate in the eyes. Surprisingly enough, a bit of moisture shown in her own celestial optics and her ears tipped back at the slightest. "Come to Ludicael. Bring them all. Your children, Deteste, Alena, everyone. I need you back, my serpent." She had not felt as vulnerable and almost desperate as she did now since she was a child. While her previous dialogue had been loud enough for their audience to hear, she now dropped her volume to barely a husky murmur. "I wish to dance in the moonlight with you again, my love." Emotions welled inside of her, making her pain seem much less detrimental and allowing for her to gather enough words to speak.

"speech"



ooc: oops other people can reply now too before I reply again but I just had too many Jupusa feels sorry. cx

Her eyes would widen as the battle commenced, her entire focus on the two wolves who would battle for her home. She would encourage Jupiter with her presence but that was all she could do. With wide eyes all but Oddity and her Sol would take her mind, she would not even notice the approach of her sisters. As the battle waged on, she would realize soon that Jupiter would be the victor. Just as she had assumed. Oddity would retreat and Jupiter would be left with her pack an her injuries. Song was brought back to the land of the living and she realized who it was that had gathered. Her mismatched gaze would fall on that of her family, one she had never even met before. She had to assume the girl was Myth, and soon Symphony;s words would confirm it. Delicate white paws would carry her close to Novella's shoulder and she hoped Symphony would be off to help their alpha's wounds. She would let the healer do her work as she found herself looking at the chocolately girl who was her sister, "Hello, Myth. I'm Song, your other sister." She'd smile at the babe who she had just met, happy to have found more of her lost family. "Speech"

Eyes returned to the battle after she spoke to Myth, letting the girl soak in her words. Ears flicked at the snapping of bones and looked down at her herbs. There was just the right ones and amount to get Jupiter home where she could completely care for her at her den. And just like she had hoped for her Sol won and kept Ludicael under her rule. A sigh of relief whispered out of her. But the black black approached them. Hackles raised as lips pulled back in a snarl. She placed herself more forward of her two younger sister. Eyes narrowed with wary distrust as he spoke, but after what was said he left. She watched him leave and snorted. The pproach of Song calmed her, eyes flicking to Myth and Song."Myth stay with Song for now. Get to know her. Novella i will need your help, come on.." She said softly as she picked up her bundle of plants and hurried to her Sol. She nodded her Medusa."Keep her focused on you and dont let her close her eyes. We still need to get her home. Specially to my den where i can fully take care of those broken bones." She said to the black female once she sat at Jupiter's side. She moved with swift and percise remaining calm.Turning to Novella she ran her muzzle along she shoulder. " I need you to gently clean her wounds the best you can. The cleaner the better it will be in preventing infection." She intrusted. She turned to her pile of herbs next, sorting them out. She place three poppy seeds and ragwort leaves were placed infront of Jupiter. Eyes glanced up at at Medusa." Get her to chew and eat these. They well help with pain ad give her strength to get back home." She informed. She began to chew up the rest of the plants of goldenrod, dock, and wild garlic into a poultice and would apply it to all the wounds on Jupiter's body once they were cleaned. Then she added burrs from catchweeds to hold the poultice in place."There. We need her to get back to my den so i can reset her toes and add a poultice to that. Medusa stand on her right side so she and lean on you and keep her weight off her paw." She glanced at Song hoping she would take care of Myth while she tended to Jupiter. Walking to her Sol's left side she gently pressed into her."Whenever your ready my Sol, we'll head to my den so i can take care of that paw. I did not bring the right herbs for it, but they are there. Lean on Medusa and you'll be fine. Just breath nice and deep." She spoke in a soft soothing voice. Speech,

Oh, her lover was quite the romantic, wasn?t she? Medusa let a smirk quirk up to her lips, a subtle one but present nonetheless. What a sap this vixen had made her into; next thing she knew, the midnight mistress would be playing the sensible housewife. ?Then keep focused on me, my love,? she crooned to her. She nodded her head to the healer as she approached, despite the opinions she had about Symphony she would not reveal the woman?s mistakes just yet. Instead she would appreciate the help, doing as she was told, for the harlot certainly had no knowledge of healing. ?I know not what Alena will do, but Deteste, myself, and the children will come stay under your domain,? she agreed.
She did as instructed, giving Jupiter the treatment necessary and then moving into position. The russet woman was compliant, and Medusa did not complain about helping her at all. ?We will get you patched up, and then tonight we shall dance,? she whispered into Jupiter?s right ear, moving with the russet alpha as they headed back to Ludicael, slowly but steadily. ?exit with Jupiter, pp permission given by star-

As Song approached the gathering of sister's, Novella nuzzled her sister in greeting as the older female then addressed Myth. Where the three white females took after their mother more in appearance, Myth was one of the few that had predominantly taken after Dutiron, whilst colourings and markings were a little different, it probably wouldn't have been too difficult for Song to guess who the small brown girl was, even without Symphony clarifying this. Moving from Song's side now, Novella followed Symphony as she made her way over towards the injured Sol. Now a little bit of worry was rising within the young girl again, certainly not wishing to do something wrong and hurt Jupiter anymore. There was also that voice at the back of her mind reminding her she hadn't actually met Jupiter before though she had been upon her pack lands several times and met one of the woman's children. Suddenly she became aware of just how rude that could possibly be taken. It wasn't often the emotion crossed her, if it ever had before, but Novella certainly felt a little sheepish as she stopped in front of the Sol. Novella was typically a fairly fearless creature, many had commented she had more than enough confidence and certainly made up for the quieter nature of some of her other siblings. Now however that had faded as Symphony gave out her instructions. Never had she had to tend to any kind of injury to another, and certainly never seen any wounds this serious. She was not a Medic, truth be told she had no idea what she was but she certainly didn't want to let Symphony or Jupiter down at this moment. Surely there was someone else who would have been a better choice though? She hid those worries though, instead simply stepping forwards, although still with caution as she followed her orders, until Symphony was satisfied and began the next step at which point Novella stepped right out of her way. She didn't yet head back to Song and Myth however, staying put just in case there was something else Symphony needed her to do anything else. Only as the black female moved to help Jupiter did Novella make her way back to her other sisters, wishing to keep out of the way of the path knowing that the walk wasn't going to be an easy one for the Sol.
