Bion shrugged and tried not to feel embarrassed or pissed at his slip-up. Against his will, the tips of his ears grew red. He had thought the whole skinning things would make thing permanent, but it would be just their luck that the monster could probably regenerate the pelt. Bion gave a grateful smile to Saber for his joke. He ran through the story in his head. Well, he would be useless in this fight. Saber and Talon might be able to injure the beast. "Can you two harm the beast? I know he can't be harmed by weapons, but you two aren't exactly mortal." He asked.

'No.' Talon replied. 'Unlike Nemmy, I don't have impenetrable fur.' 'I doubt my other tooth would appreciate attempting to bite into the Nemean lion.' Saber mumbled, holding his hand up to his mouth, where a phantom pain began to throb as he remembered the loss of his one tooth. Talon winced sympathetically, then stood off the bed and moved to one of the chairs. 'Hercules stabbed him through the mouth.' He said, remembering the story. 'With a spear.'

Bion grinned at the nickname. It would help smooth tension, namely his. "Or strangled it or shot arrows in its mouth. It depends which story or bard you believe. Either way, the mouth is a smart way to go." Bion didn't like the idea of getting up close and personal with the monster. According to the story, the lion was stronger than any man, but he was also not very smart. "What if we somehow trapped it? If he is residing in the same cave, there should be two entrances. We could just trap him inside by closing the two entrances." He said.

'But then we can't get to Eris.' Talon replied, scratching the back of his neck. '...you're a son of Apollo, aren't you?' Saber looked at him. 'Why don't we hold him down and you can shoot him in the mouth?' He curiously said. 'Us two together should be able to manage.' Talon nodded. 'I don't mind trying that.'

Bion sighed. Of course Eris was hiding out in the same cave as the lion. They were probably having tea and a grand ol' time. He still didn't like the idea of Saber and Talon holding off the beast. The lion didn't sound like an easy target to hold on to, especially with Saber not at 'God status'. However, it was the best idea that had going for them. Bion nodded. "Sure." He said simply, a bit tried after the long day. His eyes remained on the wall rather than the two men. This was their last hunt. Eris caused all of this, so confronting her would hopefully clear some things up. Then what? Saber's request to travel with him was still fresh in Bion's mind, though he wasn't sure if it still stood with Saber. Saber could go back after this and settle things with his family. He didn't have this option before. Bion dragged himself away from the thoughts that make his stomach flip. "Do we have time or are we leaving now?" He asked, looking over at Talon.

((For a laugh, should we have Nemmy be royally annoyed at the fact his cave has been taken over by a goddess? X'D))

(Yesssss. Maybe they should find Eris stranding over Nemmy's body as it turns to dust. I just know that Bion will be like -.- *sigh* All of our plans just turned to dust. )

((They should befriend him and have him go in first; then when he doesn't come back they follow, and they can have that with her standing over him? (And then Bion can have his wisecrack)
Poor Nemmy))

Planning Nemmy terrible death. Sorry buddy.
Sounds good! Do you want to start with Talon and Saber stalking up on Nemmy? Maybe Nemmy can be complaining under his breath.if you want, I can be Nemmy to take some characters off of your hands. )

((Sure, if you'd like ^.^ he'd be talking in Lion though, so we can have a bit of fun with Saber trying to censor his complaints to Bion x'D))

Saber shook out his black pelt, his pupils slitted as he focused on slowly prowling towards the golden lion in front of him. Talon was at his side. The two were slinking through longgrass so that they were hidden, not wanting to be spotted so they could simply leap upon his back; he shifted his butt so he was aimed correctly, then snarled and burst from the grass, pouncing directly onto Nemmy's back. Talon shot forwards and grabbed his back legs, dragging the monster to the ground. 'hold still and it'll make things much easier for you!' Saber said, hoping the lion would do as he said.

The lion roared as he was ambushed. After getting kicked out of his own cave, he was more than pissed. He roughly twisted in an attempt to shake off his captors. "My cave might have been stolen by that hag, but I'm not sitting while you take my life, young ones." The lion struggled, attempting to kick and snap at his assaulters. It had taken him years to recover from being skinned. He wasn't about to spend another century in Tartarus. Bion stood up now that the two had trapped the lion. He cringed at the rough growls of the cats. He raised his bow and tried to take aim. It would be impossible with so much movement. There was too much of a chance that he would hit the siblings rather than his target.
(I hope this is what you meant.)

((Yeah!! ^.^))
'Eris? She's in the cave?' Saber questioned, glad to hear verbal confirmation, even if it was from Nemmy. 'please hold still, Nemean. We don't want to waste our energy on you before we even get a chance to take down the b***h goddess.' Talon said, struggling to hold down Nemmy as his claws were sliding on his golden fur.

Nemean is a lot more vulgar in my mind. T.T I'm just trying to follow the rules. )
"Well, you could get off." Nemean grumbled, now only softly trying to push off the other cats. It seemed like they had a common enemy. "And yes. That rotten goddess took my cave." He caught the scent of a human and whipped his head around. He growled at the unknown human. The man looked hesitant. "Is he with you?" The lion asked without taking his eyes off of Bion. He unsheathed his claws remembering his last encounter with a hunter.
Bion couldn't help but take a hesitant step back as the lion locked eyes with his. There was strength and fury in those golden eyes. They held a certain resemblance of a God he and Saber had encountered not even a week ago. This fact and the fact that the fight seemed to have settled made he hesitate. He didn't lower his bow but didn't release the arrow.

Saber paused, then sat up. 'you don't like her either?' he asked. 'well that makes things easier. We're here to get rid of her; if you don't kill us or our demigod over there, we'll help you get the goddess out of your cave.' Saber said. Talon nodded in agreement and also released the Nemean. 'we'll leave you in peace after.'

Nemean took his eyes off of the demigod. He liked his cave. It was the warm home he had been thinking about in Tartarus. It would be worth working with a bunch of armatures. If they got annoying after, he would just eat them. "You have a deal." The lion grumbled. Bion lowered his bow and took a few steps forward. He looked to Saber and raised an eyebrow.

Saber climbed away and turned back. 'Nemmy says he'll help us take her down.' He chuckled, running a hand through his hair. 'Now we need a plan of action.' He said, sitting down nearby, Talon prowling over to lay heavily down next to him, his massive bulk twice the size of Saber, who ran a hand through his mane and ruffled it.

Nemmy blinked as the cat turned human. Somethings must have changed since he left. He was pretty sure humans did not change into cats or vis versa. He sighed and sat down. He slowly started to clean his paws, one slow lick at a time. His ears perked at the sound of the human-cat speaking, but couldn't pick out the words. He huffed. Bion sheathed his bow and arrow. "We could approach from two different directions. The cave has two entrances." He paused. "Though I don't know how she fights. You two," he gestured to Saber and Talon, "might be better people to make up a plan since you two knew her."
