She was back at it again, this time bringing along Rue for a little lesson. Her daughter wouldn't be participating, but watching. Medusa just sorta kinda hoped that someone would come along and help her with a teaching lesson, even if they didn't know it. She had to keep herself on her toes after all, couldn't let herself get fat and lazy and lacking in the fighting scene, hell no! That wouldn't do her any good now, would it? She didn't care who came along, as long as it was someone that could put up a fight! Or ya know, she was also cool with going home with someone new, too. A new recruit, a new captive, all depended on how they presented themselves, she supposed. Tilting her head back, she sent a call in the air with her intentions clear. She wanted to spar, or ya know...if things escalated beyond that, that was fine too! "Medusa"

While there was a lot that he needed to get done on the isle, he also had an interest to see who was lingering around the Battlefield. So far, his excursion had not been successful. There didn't seem to be many others that day that were in good enough shape for him to even tempt into a spar. Until his nose caught the scent of not one, but two wolves. Pausing for a moment, his yellow eyes searched the dry and dusty plains until two skeletal appearing wolves caught his attention. Keeping his expression void of any emotion, he approached slowly. From what he could scent, they belonged to a pack, but what pack? Maybe he could size them up and see if they would be good prospects for a raid...

Stopping a few feet away, Gil sized her up. She didn't seem weak which was a plus, but was she here to teach the youngster or what? His head tilted to the side for a moment as one brow raised slightly. "Which one of you am I fighting?" He questions in his deep tenor.

"speech"

She was talking to her child when a big hunk of a man walked up, his voice gruff as he questioned which one of them he'd be fighting. Medusa's head whipped toward him, dual-toned gaze equally sizing him up for no more than a brief moment as she leaped to her paws and grinned. "He will be fighting Medusa!" She exclaimed as she shoo'd Rue off to the side so she could watch. "Rue can watch how Medusa fights!" She turned her attention back to Gilgamesh, gaze flickering from his face, to his feet, to other parts of his body as she shook herself out, the skeleton she wore rattling against itself. Without any warning beyond flashing him a grin, she charged. She was the impulsive sort, that was always obvious. Do first, ask later. She moved to close the gap between them, though once again, she was up against someone that had special qualities that would help in a fight whereas she, did not. Still, that never deterred her. Medusa lunged for Gil's right shoulder, teeth looking to lock onto the meaty part of it while her right forepaw aimed to stomp on his toes. Medusa vs Gilgamesh for Spar Round: 1/?

As she jumps to her paws, Gilgamesh recognizes her. They have fought before. Here on these grounds. Blood was spilled between them making this all the more interesting. Since they had fought last, it appeared that both of them had risen to power. A smirk begins to draw over his lips as her energetic voice rings out. Ah, Medusa, yes. The name is even more familiar as he spies her skeletal-like markings. Hopefully she would not disappoint him and grown soft since obtaining her own pack.

His mind reels quickly as he watches her shoo the child off to the side. While he was an asshole for the most part, he so much of one that he would attack her while situating herself. If she wanted to give the kid a few pointers, he would be happy to oblige. This was more so to keep him from being bored anyway.

Shifting his body so that his paws are spread slightly, muscles loose, ears flicked back, he watches. Even as she pounces in his direction, he is ready. No longer is he Gil, the drunk Pirate, ready to be knocked off of his paws. Now he is Gil, Raid King, ready to take down everyone in his path. Which is what he plans to do as Medusa closes the space between them. Thankfully for her he had not come wearing his chainmail. Instead, he allowed her teeth to sink into the meat of his shoulder.

Gil held steady as he braced against her strength. Sliding his paws against the ground as she held on, he managed to move them out of the way as she attempted to stomp on him. “That’s cheap,” he growled with playful notes as he lifted his chin to wind up. In the next moment, he curled his chin back toward his throat and slammed his head down to hopefully headbutt her on top of her head or to the side of her face.

Medusa had met and fought so many since she had grown into herself, that she didn't quite recognize the guy she was fighting. It wouldn't surprise her if they had met before, but those were questions for later. Maybe afterward he could entertain her little brain, but for now, she was (somewhat) focused on the fight. Teeth sunk into his flesh. Bingo! That was what she wanted, though it seemed almost a little too easy. Eyes narrowed beneath the skull she wore as she tried (and failed) to anticipate what he might be planning. He managed to move his feet out of the way, and she heard what he'd said. She grinned with his flesh still in her mouth, "Medusa jus' wants t' dance wi' crys'al guy!" She exclaimed. Then suddenly, her eyes widened as she watched him tuck his chin back and before she knew it, his head came flying at hers. She hadn't been able to counter fast enough and the next thing she knew, she had let go of him and was practically seeing stars. Her gaze found Rue for a moment, or...Rue's? How many of them did she have!? She stumbled back and away from Gil as she tried to shake off the disorientation. Still a little unsteady on her feet, she dove for him, this time sliding forward in a play bow sort of deal while propelling herself forward in an attempt to slide into his legs, head turning toward his right foreleg to try and take it with her.

Their skulls collided as Medusa pulled away and his own went flying toward her's. Everything went black for not even a second before he was also stumbling backward. Stars fluttered around him as he gave his head a shake. Okay so headbutting someone probably hadn't been the best idea. Disoriented himself, he was surprised when he saw her sliding forward practically on her belly. Gil's eyes widen as he thinks as quickly as he can about what to do to counter her penguin-esque movements.

Lifting his front paws, he aims to hop forward and over top of Medusa. As he lands with paws on either side of her, he feels her teeth grab ahold of his back right leg. Wincing at the pain of her teeth slicing into his skin, he lets out a growl - more playful than aggressive. Bracing himself so he wouldn't fall, Gil dug in and focused on aiming to bite at her back. While it didn't necessarily work as he felt himself grow more and more unbalanced as Medusa pulled and tugged at his leg, he wasn't going to give up so easily.
