She had been taking more frequent trips down to Auster despite the weather here, though luckily today was calmer than her last trip down this way. The sky was still grey and cloudy, and it was windy, but at least there was only a mild drizzle coming down. She sauntered through the Boneyard, snatching up some good looking bone pieces and stashing them away in a makeshift pack she had made from a rabbit skin on the way here. She had a decent collection now, and was eager to get them back home. But before she made the journey back, she was curious to see how the wolves that lived down here stacked up. If she was lucky enough to find one, anyway. Throwing her head back, The Wraith howled, making her intentions for a spar known. "Medusa"

Okay, so… his family was definnnitely not going to be happy to find out that Gavroche had wandered off AGAIN but the yearling was determined to become strong as he could. No matter how many predators he fought, nothing would beat the challenge he could get from another wolf… especially an older one. Determined, with his companions with him (in part to make sure he made it back to Ethne), he wandered farther and farther away… until he got to a weird land with bones scattered about. It smelled of blood, and some of the dirt here looked dirty… gross! The call of a wolf seeking a challenge, however, was exactly what the winged yearling was hoping for. With a large grin he charged off in her direction. The woman he discovered seemed to have a skeleton as part of her markings! It was pretty cool, Gav had to admit. Panting a little from the distance he had run, the yearling nodded to her. “We’ll fight you, miss! Don’t underestimate me just cause I’m little!” He dropped into a defensive stance, his companions setting a stance on either side of him. Wings spread and fluffed up to appear more intimidating, Gavroche gave a small growl. “Fight me!” The first move was hers. "Speech," 'Thought.'

What had answered her call was definitely not what she was expecting. Seymour croaked with interest as what he initially thought was a little bird approached, but upon further inspection, the group realized it was an itty bitty wolf with wings! Medusa's attention was immediately drawn and her interest highly piqued. She had met one other wolf with wings when she was much younger, but she didn't remember who it was or where he lived. But this one!? This one had her attention. "Little Birdie wants to fight!? Okay! Does Medusa get some feathers if she wins?" She grinned her infamous grin before she settled into a battle stance, tipping the skull over her head and rattling her bones in an attempt to seem...intimidating. Or something like that. This kid was the size of Cricket and smaller still than her own kids. HHMMmmm...she wasn't sure how exactly to fight someone so tiny, but she supposed she'd treat it like she was hunting a chicken or something. Yeah, that seemed the best course of action! Bounding forward to close the distance, she sought to pounce on him the way a fox would pounce on a mouse, a cackle slipping from her lips as her hunting instincts kicked in more than...well...she supposed her fighting ones. This was a strange situation indeed! Medusa vs Gavroche for Spar Round: 1/?

The woman’s way of speaking and addressing him was different from what Gavroche was used to, but it wasn’t bad! He figured her name was Medusa and, at her question, the winged yearling stuck out his tongue teasingly. “IF you win, I’ll give you two feathers!” His feathers were special, and he considered them more a gift for friends, but he supposed it couldn’t hurt to bet a couple on the fight. So long as he didn’t give her the same colors he gave to Dusk, which was the most special, then he could give her some feathers too! But Medusa was cool! She had a whole skull on her head and seemed kind of spooky! What pack was she part of? He tossed up his defenses in anticipation, his tail giving a slight wag as he waited for her to begin. The woman moved to pounce on him and, rather than give her the satisfaction, the boy sought to slip up under her larger frame. His size was his boon and his curse, and he felt paws graze past his rump in his effort. Gavroche wasn’t trying to stay directly under Medusa, however. The winged yearling sought to quickly turn and loop under her around her right foreleg. Aiming to position himself under her right armpit, Gavroche attempted to lunge from the ground and twist his body toward the back of her leg. Forelegs would reach outward, trying to grab onto her limb with his dexterous digits and hold on. At the same time his jaws would move toward the limb as well, attempting to reach for the softer flesh in the back and clamp down on it. He was small, but given the chance he could be a real pain! Dawn, his Scottish fold kitten, was focused on the larger cat and keeping it away from the combatants. She spat and swiped, while Arachne, the spider monkey, attempted to distract the wolverine. It left one companion unaccounted for, but given where Gavroche was at the moment it hopefully wouldn’t be a problem. "Speech," 'Thought.'

“IF you win, I’ll give you two feathers!” Le gasp! She could have two feathers from those pretty wings of his!? That was absolutely something she just could not pass up! She was determined now more than ever to win! But still without flattening him or...she supposed accidentally swallowing him whole. That would be bad, and she was sure she'd have a whole pack on her tail judging by the smell of him. When The Wraith pounced, she was just a little too slow. The winged boy dove beneath her and just...disappeared?? Paws hit the ground with nothing between them, and she looked around trying to figure out where in the hell he had gone because she hadn't seen him come out the other end, was when she felt a sudden weight on her leg and teeth biting into the crease where her elbow connected. She jumped up in surprise with a yelp as his teeth pinched the tender flesh there. She was not expecting that! She was without the help of Umbra and Nox, however, as the boys companions were busy keeping them busy. Drat! She whirled around trying to find him, her feet stomping like a sasquatch as she tried to locate the little beastie. She spotted his wings poking out beneath her, so she took her chance and aimed to try and grab one to snatch him out from under her! Unfortunately, it seemed Seymour had the same idea. He swooped down, his large frame coming in too fast to stop. At the last moment, he realized he didn't have enough clearance with all the movement, and it would result in his crashing into his master, sending himself flipping over The Wraith while she went tumbling too the ground. If her opponent didn't move, she was likely to fall right on top of him or punt him with her flailing legs!

Gavroche’s teeth met their target and Gavroche held onto the pinched flesh, keeping it to the best of his ability as he used her leg to steady himself. He could feel her body shift and jolt as she stomped and whirled, and he gave a soft yelp as he was forced to release his hold and hit the ground. It didn’t really hurt, but it surprised him! In the next moment he was scrambling to his paws as his opponent and her companion crashed above him. Before he realized what was going on Gavroche had dove for her ankle… and then down she was coming. Before his teeth were able to connect he ended up half under his opponent, squished beneath her larger frame.

Gavroche began to squirm and try to flail immediately. Claws dug into the dirt as the yearling attempted to pull himself out from under her. Thankfully she wasn’t hurting him, but he had been startled further by the woman just collapsing on top of him. Finding no luck with the dirt, Gavroche pushed his forelegs down against her body and used his dexterous digits to get a grip on the woman before pushing with all of his might against her. He had to get free!
