"So what's up with Xena and Ares?" Joxer's eyes kept darting suspiciously towards the far woods, but Gabrielle chose to ignore that.
In the middle of a scroll, Gabrielle was inclined to muse, "Well, the warrior princess and the god of war... they were both practically born for war." She smirked, "I think that gives them something... a bond, maybe."
Joxer looked doubtful, "And you think that's all there is to it?"
"No." Gabrielle looked down, trying to refocus on her scroll, "And I can't begin to imagine what will happen when they figure that out."
"And if they have?"
Startled, Gabrielle pinned Joxer with her most reproachful look. "I'd know." Conversation over, she settled back into her story. Hoping that she'd sounded more convincing than she felt on the matter.
