"England, as in Britannia?" She knew a woman from Britannia. One Bodicea. A truly intidmidating woman if you weren't Xena.

I found her there when she and some of the other girls in the village were being taken captive to be sold as slaves." She didn't remark about what had led her there, or the circumstances of Gabrielle's subsequent stalking of the Warrior Princess. Xena eyed Rose's clothes and knew that she came from another time. "You are from a time in my future, judging by your clothing." Of course, if Xena had been reincarnated, as it was promised she would, she might have experienced Rose's time at some point.
