Medusa has never liked Milliways winters. Cold, snow, ice, cold. With living snakes combining with her mind, she feels herself growing slower, duller; with metal feathers growing out of her skin, it's only her preternatural healing that stops her from getting frostbite every time she goes outside.

It is morning, high mid-morning, with the sun streaming through the window. The very, very shut window - even Medusa's objections to lack of fresh air falter in the face of cold. The Gorgon herself is perched on a chair in front of the glass, staring out across the white landscape as her snakes absorb as much sunlight as possible.

(she is not alone, either; sprawled out in her lap and overcome with the bliss of constant petting is one Master Shreddie. Sun and scritches, nothing better in the whole multiverse)

Sam frowns, too, one hand still and flat against Medusa's skin.

"I don't - I'm still just as much in love with you, Meda. But it - didn't seem fair to - I don't know what's going on with Cal. But it didn't seem fair not to tell you about it or to pretend that I don't feel anything for him. I don't know what you feel about that."

Sam's smile flickers at her. "Like I could ever forget about you."

He laughs, then, wryly. "Pissed-off is closer to it. Don't worry about him - he just gets frequent outbreaks of Being An Idiot. Mortals do that a lot, but he'll settle down."

Maybe.

Sam hopes.

"That wasn't really what I meant when I said not to worry about him," Sam says mildly, over the noise of the snakes. "More that I'm more than old enough to cope with him. I had a pretty good idea what I was getting into when I started."

He strokes his hand down her arm, slowly.

"Though he isn't old, really. He thinks he is."

Sam shakes his head, unsure of how to explain.

"He's very young, in some ways. In a lot of ways. It's why the arguments - that, and I'm a stubborn bastard and I put my foot in it more often than I'd like."

And sometimes he consciously decides to.

"You," Sam says firmly, "make far more sense than he does."

Cal, he sometimes feels, has turned incomprehensibility into an art form.

He laughs a little, kissing her skin.

"I really do love you, you know."

"Mmm, good." He nudges his head against hers, pressing a kiss to the bridge of her nose as her snakes settle back down.

"...You could come and join in with Cal and me sometime, if you wanted. It'd be fun."

Sam shrugs a little.

"Whatever you're comfortable with, really."

Sam laughter-snorts.

"If you want!"

Sam leans forward and kisses her nose.

"I really do love you."

Especially when she's silly.

"That's because you're sensible," Sam smiles. "Even when you're also being silly."

Firmly, "No." He gives her another kiss. "Because I said so."

"Good," Sam smiles, stroking his hand over one of her wings again. "So can I."
