Love before first sight

Cricket relaxes into Ghoul as he explains his reasoning. It all makes perfect sense to her, but she has also never had a mind for politics. It all felt... icky. The timing made sense, you didn't go after opponents when they were at their peak, but it also made her sad. She liked Medusa, a lot. She was fun and looked after them. But she had also caught snippets of history in her time among the pack too. Medusa had taken the pack from Ghoul's mum. Maybe, it was just putting things back to rights if he returned the favour?

She had always been more flee than fight though.

"The timing is right, you have the connections." She nervously dragged her teeth through the fur over his hip, only breaking to nod her agreement. It made sense. It would be for the good of them all, as long as he won.

"But what do we do if it all falls down?" It never hurt to have a plan B.
