Prompt: "Medusa: Following a bit of confusion Ritsuka and a few of the actually tall servants have a sit down with her and inform her she's really not all that large." — Maddie


Medusa blinked in confusion.

"What's going on?" she asked to the crowded room.

"This is an intervention," said Ritsuka, golden eyes serious. "You have a problem, and we're here to stop it."

"What? I don't understand..."

Two small arms wrapped around her waist, and she looked down to see Bunyan hugging her. Still not understanding, she patted the girl's head.

"Little girl thinks she is too tall," Ivan's voice boomed. "Ho ho ho. She not understand how short she is."

"Not helping, Ivan." Ritsuka sighed. "But he said it. Medusa, you're really average in height."

She felt herself shrink in a little. "I'm... not so sure about that."

"Oh, chica." Two much longer arms wrapped around her from behind as Quetzalcoatl lifted both Medusa and Bunyan off the ground, to the child's delight and her surprise. "You are beautiful, absolutely beautiful."

As she was set down again, Quetzalcoatl turned her around and smiled brightly. "How could anyone ever tell you that you are ugly and too tall is beyond me."

A shadowed came in behind Quetzalcoatl, and Medusa's eyes widened as Gorgon came in with a frown.

"You..." she muttered.

"Me."

"I don't want any funny business, you guys," Ritsuka stated firmly. "We're talking a problem out."

"I'll be quick," said Gorgon. "If you keep hating yourself for what you are, you will become me. You will become tall and ugly and everything you hate, and that will make you hate more."

She left as quickly as she came, leaving one last thought behind.

"I can hate enough for the two of us."
