As a filly, Medusa was so independent. She often stuck to herself unless seeking out one of her brothers on Paradise to cause trouble with. She never felt the need for companionship, not until she got older. When she came to the Inlet, she remembered how utterly alone she felt surrounded by strangers. No family to fall back on, no parents to rant to. Maybe that was too overwhelming for her and that's why she ran. But in the end, she learned a valuable lesson from being with Valka in the Bay. She learned a lot from the little mare about how to be a leader, how to be there for your herd. She took those lessons back with her and hopefully it was helping to shape her into a better lead mare now. She had grown close to Kvothe, only to watch the mare run off to the stallion who raped her and never return. It saddened Medusa, but she wished only the best for the red Fresian. Maybe she could change the dog who did that to her. If he ever hurt her, there would be hell to pay, Inlet member or not. She had only just began to reach out to the others. She met the other Queen, Lace, just once, but she was intrigued and wanted to know more about the other mare. She was just hard to find most of the time. Then there was sweet Arael, who Medusa was finding herself liking more and more as they spoke. The mare had beliefs that Medusa had never heard of and she was curious about them, wanting to know more. Knowledge was always something to cherish, as she had been taught by her own mother. Arael had a heart of gold and saw only the best in others. Medusa hoped some of that might rub off on her own cynical heart. But really, it was just nice to have someone to open up to, to vent to since she didn't have Valka here. Speaking of, Medusa felt the urge to go see her friend again soon. Maybe once the foal was born and she had recovered, she could take her child to meet her. That might make Valka happy, to see another foal. Hopefully it wouldn't just remind her of the loss of her own. She didn't mind telling Arael about her and Ironclad. Though she was sure it was different than how the mare had met the Inlet King herself, she had a way of showing such understanding. And she didn't disappoint. The mare spoke the blue roan's name, Xiomara, and Medusa clenched her jaw and nodded. The mare seemed shocked but Medusa had no doubt of what she'd seen all those years ago when she followed her betrothed to Atlantis. She saw the look in his eyes when he spoke to the mare. Like a puppy dog, just wanting to be adored. And now she saw the mare coming back to him, not with the same look, but something akin to, affectionate, wistful, even. She may not love him, but she did care about him and something about it irked Medusa to no end. When Arael spoke again, Medusa made herself prick her ears and listen. She said the mare wasn't the one laying her head beside his at night or standing at his side. She said she was part of his past, but not his future. Somehow, the words did make Medusa feel better. She found herself slowly smiling as she nodded. "Thank you. You are right. I ust wish some things would stay in the past." Where they belong, she might have added on if not for sounding petty. Arael continued, saying maybe Ironclad didn't know she wanted more than his respect. That made Medusa chuckle. "I certainly haven't made it easy on him. Our first time playing as foals, I got him to race me then tripped him and made him fall. I feel like he's been wary of me ever since." She smirked a little at the memory, but realized she needed to work harder on making amends. She thought maybe it'd show him when she approached him this past Fall, allowed him to possess her in a way no one else ever had before. Though she was far from submissive, she'd given into her instincts that night and let him have her completely. But they'd barely seen each other since and it agitated her. She nodded again. "You are full of good advice, Arael. Thank you very much for approaching me today." She offered the mare a smile.
