Gabrielle let out a low chuckle, knowing she got that a lot. Most people though of her just as Xena’s little sidekick. At one point, she was. The battling bard had grown into a quit the warrior over the years she traveled with Xena, something she was grateful for as well since they always seemed to get into some pretty tough situations.
“Thanks and no, I’m not kidding you, The Gods. You know like Ares, the God of War? Athena?” She questioned, smirking, remembering that Xena had brought forth most of the God’s death right after the birth of Eve. She watched as Faith picked out a staff, excitement rushing through her. She was looking forward to fighting with a staff.
“Yes, let’s.” She said, eyeing Faith’s movements before starting to fight with her, liking this because it gave her a chance to work on her form and movements, wanting to avoid being hit by the staff that was in the other woman’s hands, though they weren’t fighting to hurt one another, it was still good practice.
She couldn’t help but wonder why Xena and her never sparred like this then again, she quickly realized that even if they were too, the warrior princess would win no matter what, her skills just that much better.
