He? So whoever was behind this was male. Okay. That.... really did no good since they were captured, but if they got out. No. When they got out, that was something they could use to figure out the cause of the attacks, maybe even the why and how to stop it.So for now, Gabrielle would tuck that information away. If there was one thing she was good at, it was remembering details. She had to for her stories, and had found it came in handy more often than not.
"Clearly he's a coward then. Using others to overwhelm us because he can't do it himself. And you can't know that. Even Hercules has his weaknesses."
It seemed a thing, being a sidekick. Relating yourself to the hero you tagged along with and feeling that they wouldn't be in the situation you were and thus that made you less than. Gabrielle had it a lot with Xena. And recently because of all of her mistakes. In believing in the good. And yet, wasn't that what Iolaus was asking her to do with Livia? Believe there was good in her despite her loyalty to Ares? But she would. Because she was Xena's daughter and she had to make up even a small fraction of life to her for Solan.
"No. But you can call me that if you like." Rolling her eyes slightly because Gabrielle was just going on instinct and what had worked before, the blond smiled to Iolaus as he introduced himself, "Well, it's nice to meet you then?"
Sure that worked. At least she had finally gotten to all of the injuries she could see. Now she had to keep him awake. So sitting beside him, the tiny blond draped and arm over his shoulder to stroke his hair soothingly as she thought.
"How about I tell you a story?" It had worked before, and Gabrielle had a plethora of stories at her disposal. And it would pass the time until they figured a way out or someone found them.
