She crept along the corridors of the Gorge, not for any reason in particular at first, but as she checked the caves and rooms that had been tidied up, she started to think about what could be improved. Torches lit the pathways, and some lined the rooms, but it was still pretty dark down here and some of the larger rooms could certainly do with a bigger fire to keep things lit. She walked into one such room, glancing up at the hole in the ceiling that led to the outside. A fire would be good to have in here, the smoke could vent through that hole and they'd just have to figure something out to keep any rain and water from potentially seeping in. There was certainly alot they could do within the confines of the gorge. Fortify it. Storage. Den space. A medical space for the healers. It would all be easy to defend since they knew many of the passages so well by now. And soon, she planned on expanding a little further. Toward the Willows, perhaps. Claim some more green space, shelter, and water. As she sat there in thought, her mind wandered to Erebos. Her feelings whenever she thought of him lately rising up in her chest. She still couldn't believe what had transpired between them. The pair had known each other for about a year now, give or take, and while they hadn't met on good terms initially, he had turned out to be better than she thought. Though Widow's warning tended to prick at the back of her mind here and there, she shook her head as she ultimately decided to ignore it. After all, he had not yet shown her what Widow claimed. Though she was an unbiased creature, she would give the benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise. In the end, she simply chalked it up to Widow feeling scorned for not getting what she wanted, she supposed. But honestly, Medusa was on Erebos' side with this one. A threat of enslavement would have also had her cutting ties with them. She had been a slave once. Never again. As her thoughts began to go deeper, they were interrupted suddenly by the sound of foot steps. She turned to look toward the opening where the path was, and she picked up the trailing scent of Erebos. A grin began to appear as she stealthily made her way closer to the entryway, hiding herself within the shadows as she waited for him to get closer. "Speech"

he was a busy, busy man. moving things, stocking caches. why? he needed to focus on something other than his emotions. stressed and in a sense hungry for more, Érebos would scout the gorge intending to find Flintstone. he needed a fire for the armor he would plate for his siblings as something in him prepared for a raid. with the pack so large now, he knew they'd come.

more than ever insomnia mattered to him. and too much it seemed. medusa got in his head. that night, the way he took her.. it imprinted in his mental as he found himself ruminating those raw lustful scenes again & again. so caught up that when he passed the entry of the gorge, he didn't see her.

Ears perked up as she listened to him get closer, and closer, and closer. She hunkered down, tail lashing in anticipation, body wiggling like a cat ready to pounce. The moment she saw him passing the entry to the room she was in, she jumped out, a wild giggle echoing around them as she playfully pounced over his rump. "Surprise!" She exclaimed, before sliding off his larger frame and circled around to the front where she planted a kiss on his muzzle. She grinned from ear to ear, tail wagging with pride that she had managed to catch him unawares. "What is Erebos doing? Is he busy? Medusa is itching for a spar!" She exclaimed. After their passionate night together, she wanted more of him, and a tangle in a fight would have to do until she got to scratch that itch again.

before he knew it, medusa clung to his backside. giggling as she did while coming around to plant a kiss on his maw. he smiled, lids low as he listened to her enthusiastic voice. seeing her brought him ease, and truly helped him decompress. she asked for a spar.. but not so fast. he chuckled, fur rising on his neck as he playful looked at her, brows pressed and dimpled smile present. "A spar? Anything you want, love." he growled then, eyes becoming more narrowed for a moment. "But only if we sleep in my den tonight." he bargained, wanting more quality time spent with his mate. tail wagging, he flexed his muscles before beginning.

paws splayed, he barked to announce his own excitement and readiness to meet his partner in battle. charging then, he aimed to slam into medusa with force.

Ooh, anything she wanted, eh? She definitely took that as an invitation, and he accepted to boot. Not only that, but he called her love. Which sent a tingle down her spine and a shiver through her body as her tail wagged even more. Never ever had anyone but him ever said that to her. And it was safe to say that she was getting more and more infatuated with him by the day, and not in a weird way despite her strange mannerisms and thought patterns. Then he added that he would spar her on the condition that they slept in his den tonight. She cocked her head, her playful grin spreading wider as she giggled and nodded. "Okay! Medusa accepts! But..." She looked at him with a mischievous glint in her eye. "If Medusa wins...then Erebos has to do what Medusa says for a day!" She dropped into a play bow, tail wagging furiously as she playfully growled back at him, dual toned gaze locked on his before she decided to spring forward. She sought to shoulder check him, her own shoulder seeking the meaty part of his chest, head turning then toward his neck to give him a rather aggressive "love bite." While she was more in a playful mood, she still wasn't going to make this a totally easy spar!

they met in a harsh embrace, medusa's shoulder hitting his scarred tissue that fic left there long ago. it winded him, making him stagger back in surprise at the pain that radiated there. she turned to bite him then, but he moved quick enough to dodge the attack yet not fully. as she grazed into his firmer left bicep, making him bleed. she earned a snarl from him as he then with newfound energy, went to dive for medusa's collar bone area with bared fangs- his large arms coming to sprawl ahead in attempt to each onto her smaller body. their tussle was aggressive and vigorous, as their fights had usually been.

She grinned when they made contact, though her aggressive love bite missed the mark, her teeth grazed him still which was enough to make him bleed. Oopsie! But she knew he wouldn't mind, after all, their fights were often intense. And he would further prove that as he went for her, his teeth grabbing at her chest which earned a snarl as he then sought to grapple her. He was larger and heavier than she was, and at close quarters like this, it was harder for her to fight strength with strength. She had the tendency to fight feral, and as she felt herself begin to slip and topple from his greater weight, she did the only thing she thought to do. She turned her head toward him and aimed to headbutt him, forehead to forehead in an effort to force him back. Granted, she would be seeing stars should she succeed, but it was a risk she was willing to take.
