Day 14
Who: Xena and Rose
What: Labyrinth Chat and General Awesomeness
When: Mid-Morning
Where: Horse Stables
Rating: PGish
Status: Incomplete

When Xena woke that morning, she found that the city had changed back to a setting she was more comfortable with. It had been that way when she had arrived and she liked it that way. She could relate to it a little better, even if it was more advanced than her world had been. She hadn't seen Argo in a few days and she knew the horse would probably be a little upset at being neglected.

Dressed in her usual garb, Xena walked through the door that magically led back to her room in the other city and then walked outside toward the stables. She whistled lightly, not exactly cheerfully, but somewhat carefree. The stables were open and she stepped inside to a chorus of whickers and neighs. Smiling, she headed for Argo's stall.

The horse had her hindquarters in Xena's direction and didn't seem to be inclined to turn around to face her. "Look, I'm sorry I haven't been here in a day or two." It might have been more than that, but she wasn't going to own up to it. "C'mon, girl. I have an apple! Don't you want a big juicy apple?" She cooed and clucked, sounding much too soft for a warrior princess.

After a long session of cajoling and encouragement, the horse finally turned around and snatched the apple from Xena's hand. Xena grinned and stroked the horse's nose. "I promise I'll visit you more regularly. Do you want to go for a ride today?" The dun colored horse whinnied and nudged Xena's shoulder with her nose. "Good, me too."

Xena nodded as if she knew exactly what gymnastics and the beam were. But she didn't comment further on it, instead choosing to focus on Rose's comment about having good balance. "That definitely comes in handy. No matter how tight you cinch the saddle, it still moves slightly, and if you start moving with it, you can go over the side."

"England, as in Britannia?" She knew a woman from Britannia. One Bodicea. A truly intidmidating woman if you weren't Xena. They had been rivals at one point, but had teamed up against Caesar's forces. It was the last time she had seen the woman. Her blue eyes refocused as she came out of her rememberances.

"Yes, we were. I'm from a place called Amphipolis, and Gabrielle is from a small town called Potidea. 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.

Rose's eyebrows lifted. "Yes, I imagine. Since no one's called it Britannia in...a seriously long time where I'm from. But it's basically the same place." In fact, she didn't even know when. Her history lessons hadn't exactly been high on her list of things to do. Then, neither were maths or English.

Glancing down at her denims and t-shirt, then quickly back in front of her out of fear of losing her balance, Rose tried to smile. "I'm from the year two-thousand and five. I imagine many, many years have gone by from my time to yours, haven't they?" It was the only thing that would explain Xena's appearance versus Rose's own. Unless Greeks all ran around dressed that way. But, despite not having visited there--yet--she didn't imagine they would.

She'd found Gabrielle. And other captives? This woman was obviously someone not to be fought with. The thing she'd reached for when Rose had first entered the stables had to be a weapon. On one hand, it was fascinating. She'd never met anyone like her. On the other...well, we'd just say Rose had no intention of angering the beautiful, exotic looking woman.
