Having fallen asleep in the arms of Xena, Gabrielle woke feeling refreshed and well rested, ready to start the day. She was buzzing with energy and didn’t want to waste any time on sleeping in. She moved her green eyes over to Xena, watching her beautiful lover sleep, memorizing just how peaceful and calm she looked, taking in her beauty, not wanting to wake her up yet but couldn’t resist doing so.

“Xena, wake up.” She said, pecking the warrior’s cheek then only to give her a soft kiss on the lips, having surprisingly woken up before her. It was one of those once in a lifetime moments, being awake before the warrior. She pushed the blankets off them then proceeded to crawl out of bed, making her way into the bathroom, wanting to get showered and dressed, excited about their day.

After a nice warm shower, she dried off and got dressed, pulling on her skirt and bra top before putting her boots on. She dried her hair and walked out of the bathroom, feeling rather giddy as she walked over to the table, packing up a few of her scrolls and ink, figuring she could use the outdoor time to write while Xena fished or something. She was sure they would find something to pass the time, enjoy the day.

She got them lunch for the day along with a breakfast to start the day, ordering what she thought Xena would like best. The golem bringing it to them while her warrior showered. The bard figuring Xena would appreciate starting the day off with something to eat. She sat down at the table and took one of her scrolls, deciding to write for a bit while she waited for her companion to join her and eat breakfast.

She reached her arm around Gabrielle as she sat down next to her and touched her cheek to the top of the blond head for a moment before the movie started. It was a dark film. But Xena was amazed by the moving picture. In their world, they had plays. That was mostly the reason Xena wanted to bring Gabrielle here. She knew that the bard enjoyed a good story.

She also knew that if their fates had been different, Gabrielle might have been a famous playwright. She smiled fondly in the darkness, watching the movie and thinking of Gabrielle's various talents. She often wished that Gabrielle had never come after her, but she also knew that if she hadn't she might have ended up a slave. She had also saved Xena's life on several occasions. She was sure she would have been dead long ago if it weren't for Gabrielle.

She hugged the bard closer and smoothed her hand up and down her arm. The action of the film flashed across the screen as it went from scene to scene. It was an interesting story, about vampires that looked a lot like Bacchae, and werewolves. Nothing about the film seemed far fetched to the woman who had seen her share of strange things in her life. It was engaging and entertaining and she knew she'd picked a good one to watch.

It was a mix of action, which she enjoyed quite a lot, and a love story, which she knew Gabrielle enjoyed. "Are you enjoying it?" She glanced down at the green-eyed woman. She wanted to make sure that the film choice was good for both of them. If Gabrielle liked this experience, they might have to frequent the home theater more often.

Gabrielle sat quiet the entire time the movie played, leaning into Xena, happy that the warrior’s arms were around. She was amazed at how the story was told. It wasn’t in writing but actually picture and was curious as to how this was all done. She had never imagined telling a story this was. It kept her attention though Xena’s hand running up and down her arm was enough to distract her.

She smiled at the touch, hearing her question. “Yes, I am. Are you?” She asked, curiously, leaning in to press a kiss to Xena’s temple before her gaze shifted back to the movie, watching the remainder of it, hoping that they would do this a lot more often. She liked being close to the warrior for many reasons. She just felt so comforted by her presence, so warm and safe.

When the movie credits began to role, Gabrielle turned in Xena’s arms, wrapping hers around the warrior. “That was really good. We defiantly have to see more.” She stated, pressing a kiss to her lips, completely happy right now. She felt the days events wearing thin on her though, growing rather tired. She wanted to go back to their room and curl up with Xena, unable to get enough of her company.

“I’m anxious to see what other type of movies there are. It’s an odd way to tell a story but I like it.” She told her, glancing back at the screen a moment before her gaze drifted back to her warrior. “Shall we go back to our room?” She asked, curiously.
