Heilyn knew virtually nothing of Mome Raths. How would Elena hold out in this environment? She paced anxiously out of danger's reach. She wasn't expecting him to win, but... C'mon, Seth... don't lose your cool... She whimpered quietly as her pacing quickening slightly.
Poppy yelped in surprise as the summon pink ball of fur and fury pierced her foot and began chewing it. Well, looks like what she had planned could wait. How fun! She looked at Seth and grinned widely once more.
So he wanted to play it that way, did he? she reached her hand out, and in it formed a war hammer. Still grinning widely, she brought herself up and swung the oversized weapon to come down on Seth's head.
"Seth!" yelped Heilyn, unable to hold in her outburst any longer. Panicking, she lunged and used her pain ability on the Queen. Fuck this game. She could coerce her dad into giving Seth the rank. The Queen with her Hammer... In her surprise, the Wolverine's attack faltered, she she laughed. What an interesting turn! Heilyn never jumped in on a fight that wasn't hers!
Dropping her Hammer, which made a hole in the floor, Poppy reached out with her one arm and grabbed the Coyote out of mid-lunge. With her gigantic muscles, she easily held Heilyn in place. The Coyote thrashed, cursing at herself. She'd honestly thought she'd caught the woman off-guard? Poppy waited for Seth's next move, watching him closely. If Heilyn was so willing to interfere, how would he react? She couldn't understand if he said anything, so she'd have to depend on reading his body language.
People were starting to poke their heads out of doors to investigate the commotion.

When blood began to flow freely from the woman's foot, Elena set about finding new targets, sinking her fangs into Poppy's calf now instead, finding the tender flesh there much more appetizing than the bony foot. She got one good bite in before Seth dismissed her, not wanting to expose the terror to any more of the bog air than she'd have already experieneced. At least the taste of fur didn't seem to bother her...
Seth's ears flattened against his head as the woman moved away from him, and his eyes widened as the hammer appeared. Okay, what the FUCK was he supposed to defend himself with?! This game had taken a very dangerous turn, and when Heilyn called out to him, his concentration was completely shattered, and he turned to look at her, attention pulled away the second that his opponent swung her hammer.
The floor under the bat's feet shook as the hammer was dropped, and he didn't even think. There was no time for her to guage his reactions, as he was a being of pure adrenaline at this point. He was purely reactions, and seeing Heilyn, his Heilyn, be lifted so effortlessly from the ground sent him into a blind rage. The man barreled forward, his momentum sending him directly upward and his shoulder into her stomach. A spell that had been brewing in his mind for some time now came to the front of his thoughts, and he felt the power brewing, and released it.
The wolverine would suddenly find her mouth completely frozen in whatever position it had been in the second the bat had released the spell.

Rage.
He responded with pure, blind rage.
Oh Heilyn, how many hearts must you break? thought the Wolverine, amused. Her amusement ended, however, when a freezing cold stabbed her mouth. Her mouth froze in the arrogant, wide grin she'd been sporting, making her look downright creepy now. Heilyn wriggled free from the Wolverine's grip as it weakened from her being slammed in the gut by a full-grown bipedal Solandrian, landed on her feet and skittered out of harm's way once again. So full of surprises he was! Yes, Heilyn should keep him.
Still grinning her frozen grin, Poppy activated her pain ability. It would feel as though barbed wire were dragging across his insides. Regaining her footing when she'd been slammed against a wall a split second later, she grabbed Seth by the mane and pulled him off of her and threw him back, then deactivated the pain ability. She put her hand up, open palm exposed, and bowed respectfully to Seth. Heilyn relaxed. Oh, thank the Gods it was over. Poppy always had a tendency to get... carried away.
Bringing her hand down, her hand balled into a fist except for her pointer finger. Palm no longer facing Seth, she waved her finger to say "Come here."

When Heilyn squirmed her way out of the wolverine's grip, Seth felt something that had managed to painfully twist itself up in his gut relax, and he could breath freely once more. Well, he could, until her pain ability sucked the breath from him, nearly doubling him over. Goddamnit. He hated Hearts, so much, especially right now. He couldn't do a thing when she grabbed him except shoot her a glare filled with the most seething hatred he could possibly manage, and then he was tossed aside.
The second he felt the pain subside from his body, he scrambled to his feet, stance still on the defensive. He didn't move for a minute, simply staring blankly at the woman... Wait, it was over?! He hesitated at the bow, looking from Heilyn to Poppy and back again, tense with confusion.
It was over. Slowly, the man returned the bow, the movement filled with respect, but he kept his eyes on the woman. Wolverines and Hearts, neither were things that the man trusted. He got the impression that Poppy wouldn't be offended by this in the slightest.
With almost equal hesitation and a long glance at Heilyn, followed by a shrug, the man took a step towards the Queen.

It was no wonder someone as impulsive as her was not given the role of Presiding Queen. Heilyn looked back at Seth and gave a wag of the tail to encourage him. However, still slightly suspicious, she approached her along side him. Bringing her hand up to her mouth, she used her heat ability to melt the ice. She spat out the excess and turned back to the pair approaching her.
Oh, what a shame the man hadn't been born a Bog Dweller, the Queen thought. "<Such a pretty thing. I would start liking men if that would get me in your bed,>" she spoke words she knew he wouldn't understand, though they were meant for him. Heilyn cleared her throat, glaring up at the Queen, "<But it seems that even if I did, I couldn't have you...>" Heilyn growled warningly. How dare she accuse her of being attached to him like that! There was nothing between them, she had no attachments, she was willing to shar--
The very thought of him sleeping with anybody else made her bristle.
Oh... oho... this was not healthy.
The Queen put a hand on Seth's chest, over the rank and suit. "<Treat her well, pretty batty~ Should the blood mix, I expect a strong and healthy litter from the two of you,>" she said, half teasing Heilyn, half absolutely serious as a warm, tingling feeling would occur on that spot as the number would change to a letter. Oh, the possibilities of the mix! the Queen mused excitedly. Heilyn's ear and lip twitched.

Seth's expression was constant while the Queen spoke, one which he hoped would come across as being quietly dignified. It was an impression the bat tried to give more often, but it was usually ruined the second he opened his mouth to speak. This situation gave him a rare opportunity: For once, the way he held himself wouldn't be completely destroyed by his words. Well, it would by Heilyn, but in the eyes of the Queen he could hope he'd be saved.
He had no idea what they were talking about, but if they did, he'd probably pretend he didn't. It was a topic that was still quite dangerous, as far as he was concerned, and in all honesty... He still didn't feel comfortable approaching Heilyn with it. They would reach that point someday. Probably when she brought it up.
If she brought it up.
He looked down, expression surprised as he felt the heat on his chest. It was... somehow different from all of the times he had gained rank on his own. He reached up, lightly running his fingers across the marking, and then a small smile worked its way onto his muzzle. He glanced at Heilyn, then turned back to Poppy, giving the woman a low bow. "Thank you,[/b]" he said, even knowing that she wouldn't understand.

Heilyn started looking rather smug. Oh yes, she'd gotten what she wanted, and she was positive Seth was happy. On top of it all, she was sure he wouldn't mind her tending to his wounds...
Poppy, on the other hand, was incredibly amused by the Bat's mane. It was so... blue... and vertical! As she stared at it, seeming to have forgotten the that she respected the Bat and had just ranked him up, her hand went from the suit marking on his chest to his hair. Amusement curled the corners of her mouth all the while. She poked it, the ruffled it, watching with glee at the sprang right back into place. If that were a Bog dweller, the oils would've made the fur stay where it was ruffled rather than going back to where it was before! Holy CRAP this was amusing! Fluffluffluffluff!
Heilyn cleared her throat rather loudly. When she was ignored and her Seth was still being harassed, she bapped the Queen's hands off him and pulled Seth away from her.
"<My greatest thanks to you, Your Majesty, now if you could kindly stop being an obnoxious jackass?>" The Queen only laughed and hoisted the disgustingly oversized hammer of the ground, spin it about its axis, and let it fall on her shoulder. She then waved her hips in a mockingly effeminate motion and pouted her lips at Heilyn.
"<Yees~ you do have an awful lots of little bumps and bruise to kiss better, don't you? Too bad I didn't kick him in the crotch, huh? Probably would've been the most care you would ever use to treat a wound,>" the Queen snickered and sauntered off limping slightely, leaving the hallway a wretched mess. Heilyn growled quietly, but then turned to Seth.
"You alright?"

In his lifetime, Seth had many lovers. During their time with him, they had all at one point or another done the exact thing that Poppy was doing now. The only difference is that before, women had done it and Seth had enjoyed it, knowing that he was at least going to get laid. Now, it only provided him with a deep annoyance. Red eyes narrowed and Seth clenched his fist, his aching body the only thing that kept him from punching the damnable woman right in her hateful snout. He relaxed as Heilyn spoke to her using short and angry-sounding words, then grinned at her as the Queen left.
"Just fine, now. Well. Sore, but I don't mind too much.[/b]" his fingers brushed over the marking on his chest, and he looped one arm around her waist. "No more fighting Queens for a few days, anyway...[/b]"
As they walked along the halls, Seth kept his wings held rather closely to himself, feeling confined after spending so much time in the palace and in his mask. Once they were outside, he was quick to stretch them out to their fullest, membranes pulled taut between his bones. "So, what now?[/b]"

Boy fights like a Wolverine, mused the Queen. then she looked back at the spotty trail of blood left behind her. Hmmm... I should get that taken care of... no use walking around like a crazy.
A smirk crept on Heilyn's face as he wrapped an arm around her and she leaned into him. Turning her head, she bit his jaw gently.
"Well, that's good. Her Majesty tends to... get a little carried away sometimes. Warrior type being couped up all the time tends to not lead to pleasant results," she explained as she walked beside him. Something I should keep in mind if I want to keep this one around... I like this business with benefits deal we have going on here. Well, politics may lead to some assassination jobs for him... I wonder how Bernard would react to-- her face fell a touch in the realization that the Outsiders cared about Suit and bringing a Spade assassin to the Hearts Court would probably best be kept on the down-low. "Your mother was a Wolverine, right?" She felt he'd mentioned something about it offhand. Heilyn was incredibly curious about his family life, but he didn't seem too thrilled about the subject.
She watched with an odd sense of admiration as he stretched. The entire anatomy of a Bat was just... well, it make the earthbound Coyote a little jealous. She found the featherless wings fascinating. She watched as the light from the Palace glowed through the translucent membrane. Kinda like her own odd mutation.
"Hmm~ it looks like night is falling. I assume after that you're not really into walking around doing any sight-seeing? Y'wanna go up to the tree tops?"
