Hah!

Yeah, right. I probably would be better than that poor royal girl, but as if I'd go there! A mountain valley prison without Xena? You need to lay off the alcohol. And work on that one-eye guy with the twisted star-crossed love thing going on. You have how many more days off for your medical stuff? Work hard, mun-girl!

Do you always talk this much?

Actually, I think getting crucified calmed me down a little... [Grin, it's a joke... Really!] And I'm trying not to get too inspired since I don't seem to have many scrolls around at the moment.

I see crucifixion is not as permanent as it used to be.

Oh, no! I died, actually. [Making dramatic arm movements to make her point.]

I see.

Well, you seem to have recovered nicely.

Actually...

[Thoughtful pause of doom.]

Not really, almost became a demon but became an arch angel?

I can't say I know what that means.

Um... I think the closest way to explain it is like becoming a minor god after almost becoming a monster.

Why would you ever want to become that?

[Rueful laugh]

I needed to save my important person.

How terrible.

What's your name?

I'm Gabrielle, and yourself?

Cassandra.

It has been a good, long while since I last met someone without one of those surnames.

Surnames? Like what? Titles?

Oh, it's quite the sensation in Bete Noire. Someone can't just be Wesley, he must be "Wesley Wyndham-Pryce" or it's "Finnick Odair" instead of just, plain Finnick.

Irritating custom.

[Confused pause]

That's just confusing. I could understand if it was their job or town, but...

It's a family name, I'm told.

How do you name a family? Sheesh, are those people alright in the head? Are you alright being around them?

I rather hate it, actually. I feel like fossil.

Although I've found a few benefits to it.

Oh?

I do enjoy watching gods try to adjust. It can be very entertaining.

[Yeah, gonna die laughing over here.]

HAH! Oh I can just picture Ares or poor Aphrodite with that! Good point...

Artemis and Apollo.

I had to teach Apollo how to bathe.

[A thoughtful pause.]

You know the same gods I do. I'm surprised. Most people don't even believe in them any more.

Huh? Of course, I'm from a little town called Potidaea, but I was also an Amazon. How's Artemis holding up?

She's having a hard time finding virgins in the City of Sin.

I've heard of Potidaea.

Gabrielle.

Xena! There you are! Are you alright? Your mundane hasn't been messing with you too much?

[reaching for you, I'm going to hug you whether you like it or not]

I'm quite all right. She has bothered me very little.

And you? You're going to prison?

[Oh, there will be snuggles. And head-on-shoulder bonding after the rib-crushing.]

No no, I might have talked her out of it. Thankfully there doesn't seem to be anyone else we know there or it might be really hard, even for me, but there aren't! Any people we know there, that is.

[GOOD, I missed you]

[regarding you with great affection] Prison's never really a good place to be, though I've had some good meals in prison. Does she have other plans for you?

[The grinning may look a little goofy, but it's because life is finally right again.]

Not really, though sometimes she tries to stick me in this place right out of one of Aphrodite's daydreams. And if you really want to get away from my cooking that badly, you can do my share too...

[you are my favourite combination of goofy and deadly]

[infinite respect for you, my Gabrielle]

That sounds complicated. A lot of sex?!

........I didn't say that.

[Snuggling just a little closer, enjoying the leather and skin under her cheek. Going to be a bit of a cockle-burr for now, a deadly/goofy one who missed you.]

Ah... That's pretty much the main point... Well, the only point for existing.

[Darn...]

[I'm glad, because I don't feel right with you not by my side. Or in front of me. However it might work.]

[blinking] Well, I'm not against sex. That much sounds somewhat tiring, though.

[your cooking's fine!]

[Or behind, or around the bush, or at least within hearing distance, the same city at the most...]

Just a bit... [Sheepish...] Thank goodness I don't get dropped there too much. It kinda helps when she can't make up her mind when to bring me from.

[You just wake up too early, bleary eyes makes for burned breakfast...]

[as long as there's a connection between us, I can live with a little distance]

[for a while, at least]

[not too long]

Yes, it sounds like a tiring place, requiring great stamina. [laughs] Mine is indecisive on such matters, also.

[could be worse...?]
