Xena lifted a leg and took her foot in hand and pulled it up and did the smae with the other steaching her legs out nicely. Streching her arms both. Ghostly eyes on her horse as she turned looking at Heru. Hands proped lightly on her hips face impassive as the mare came her master on her trail. Ember returned the greating. She watched the male closely as the mares played around. Chin lifted slightly and she lookeds to the sky.

He was still struggling lighlty putting on his boots, trying to get them to fit better then what they were. He looked like he had a rough night of roleplay with a partner but none of this was so. Just a rough cat nap on the beach. Breathing out heavily he moved to the side looking first to Xena then towards Heru who was nipping Ember playfully. "Morning." was all he said as he looked to her. He figured she wasn't the talkative kind. grabbing his mares reigns he tugged on her pulling her lightly from Ember and for the first time she actually did what he wanted her to. "Seems as though the mares get along great." he murmmured softly. Of course this was an indirect statement more or lessly talking to himself but she was more then welcome to comment back if she wanted. Heru outstretched her neck moving her lips as she niped the air in Ember's direction but remained planted where she was.

A nod was given at his morning. She wasn't a morning person. She wasn't a day person really if you get down to it. Moving forward she took her mares bridle and rubbed her nose. Hearing his words she gave a nod. "They do", she agreed tone neutral as ever. She patted the horse's neck and glanced at him before turnign her eyes to the mare.

She was becoming dull. Her voice ever change? He loks at her for a second before drawing his eyes back to his air lipping mare and he pulled her back alittle bit further. Heru stomped her foot lightly and tossed her head at his mechanisim of backing her away from the ther mare. "this may make leaving difficult." he murmured. HEru with a forceful shove with her head moved him back into place where they had originally started. Why did he have to have such a large mare? Oh yeah thats right. Cause she was said to be one of the best. The way he looked at it. She was one of the annoying. He glares lightly at Heru who seemed to glare right back at him with her auds pinned. It was like head butting a wall.

Xena made no comment. She rubbed the brown of her mares nose eyes on him. A slow smirk spread over her lips. Shoulders gave a small shake with silent laughter she was fighting back. Even with a cold heart something as that was amusing. A man fighting wits against will of a beast. "Thick headed when it comes to something she wants", she commented a fraction of the amusement could be found in her lyrics.

Heru was getting to the point where it was getting annoying so he let her go and she easily moved passed him towards Ember and Xena. Listening to Xena he snorts lighlty. "More then you will ever know." When Heru had her mind set on something, expecially at a time when she isn't working. Bet your sweet bottom Heru was going to do it. He steps back lightly and gazes at the ocean breathing in. Heru flicked her tail and eyes Xena watching with contentment at her "new found" friends. Laios crosses his arms and glances back at them. Its a womans world. We just live in it. "I knew I should have went with the Gelding." He said. A snort emitted from Heru's throat as though she understood him and kicked out her back leg, of course not aiming for him really just to show her dislikement of his comment. He glances as her and chuckles.

Xena smirked ghostly eyes on him. Shifting to keep a small veiw of him. True she had no place really to go. So there was little to me mad about this set back. Though human companionship might not be as nice for to long. It was rare she let one about her to long without either leaving or drawing her sword. Feeling night tugs on her arm as Ember greeted and nipped at Heru. A small short laugh came from her at his comment about a gelding and the mare's actions which was quickly cut off with a clearing of her throat. WHere it came from was beyond her. Brushing balck locks back she let go of the mare and slipped her boots off. "Just let them tire them-selves", she said to him as she walked past clipping her belt she tossed it back by her boots so her sword and what not wasn't on her. Smoothing a hand over her figure to make sure no fault in the red fabric of her dress. Stepping into the water with a sigh as the cool water moved past her ankles.

Heru wasn't a dumb animal and she knew it. She was a quick classy girl. Thats why he chose her. Yet some of the things she does just simply irked him. Glancing towards Xena as she laughed he was almost surprised. He kept his jaden eyes on her as she soon cleared her throat and seemed almost to look down. A soft smile crossed his features but slowly he looked away. It wasn't like him to stick around for another.. Of course not like he had a choice. He was bond here by his mare who refused to leave the other two females. Hearing the clanking of her belt and boots together he takes another look towards her. It was almost instantanious that his eyes wandered over her figure greedily and he had to draw his eyes away. There was no need in him getting lustful all of a sudden. Clearing his throat he gives a nod to watch she had said. "If they ever tire out that is." He chuckles once more before rubbing his hand on his face and gave a light groan. At they could have moved.. Standing on the beach and staying in one place made him slightly paranoid. But don't put him in a place tightly packed either. He gets claustrophobic. Laios truly was a tough case. As she moved towards the water he followed behind her in very slow strides of course he wasn't really trying to catch up to her more or lessly just following out of habbit. Raphael was always the leader of the two and he ended up following him any how. When she reached the water he fell into a sit on the beach mess with the sand between his legs.

Xena gave a nod at his words bemused by them. How true. Moving a bit farther out in the wtaer stopping when the hem went from red to maroon. Arms crossed and she looked at the horizan for a moment with the wind blowing agaisnt her face. Taking a breath of the salty air. Turning she looked at him a moment then past him to the horses. A hand lifted burhsing her hair back as she half turned looking along the beach keeping any loose hairs from her face. Hand proped on her hip. The conrer of her eye kept flickering back to him now and then as she scanned for a sign of others just in case.

He dug his fingers into the sand making a hole before building a mound of sand around it. He was obviously bored. placing his finger back into it he dug deeper building the hill even higher. Laios's mind began to travel back into time when he and Raphael had the arguement. It was when he had found out he had ties with his decietful brother, Atticus. Raphael even had the nerve to say he was better then him. Laios snorted mentally. "yeah and looked who saved his ass." he mummbled liwly as he glared at the mound before smashing it with his boot. He crossed his arms on his knees as he looks out into the ocean, holding his breath. He wandered what it would be like to die.... of course he knew it was a permanent thing but.. You know it was something the human mind couldn't help but think of. Think of experiences he has not yet ever felt.
Eyes travel back to Xena not once trying to avoide eye contact or make it look like he wasn't looking. Because infact he was... Oh boy was he. His eyes started at her face and slowly worked down. She deffinately had it going for her and any man to end up with her was alucky one. But For Laios... Women were like a distant memory. He loved one but she was a tramp and he was decieved by that thing people know as.. by love. He lowered his head lightly and closed his eyes.

Watching him from the corner of her eyes when she felt his gaze. Hand dropped and she crossed her arms. Who was this man anyway? Normally she wouldn't ask such questions. Normally she would ignore him. But he was such a fine man. How could you not notice him? After one more sweep with her eyes she left the water walking on the beach and near him leaving a small distance of course she sat down. One knee up and an arm rested on it the other leg streight before her and the arm behind her holding her up. "How long have you been wandering about", she asked him ghostly eyes turning on him,"Cause you have the looks of soem0one whose been on the road a long time" Brow went up as she waited his anwser. It was her first attempt at converstaion.

he kept his head bowed towards his chest listening to his surroundings and the sound of the ocean. His mind eye seeing that of Xena standing there in the ocean. Hell why am I thinking such things. His hand tightend into a fist as he rose his eyes upwards watching her slowly make her way towards him. its not like she would have an interest in you anyways. You've traveled a long and rough road. An't no one deserve a life like you did... nor want to be apart of it. With a broken man who can't be fixed. His eyes didn't move to her when she sat down instead he lowered his gaze back to the crashed mouned. He was deffinately surprised when she spoke up. He was usually the one having to say something. but Guess thats where that saying says 'expect the unexpected' .
Jaden eyes move to her ghostly blue, "Your right. I have been traveling for a long time. Started back when I was kid." He said. His eyes traveled back to the sand. "What about you? Been traveling on your own for a while? You seem you have." He chuckles lightly. Of course she did. She looked like she could kick some ass. But hey the life of a loner wasn't easy he could vouge for that.

Xena listened to him. Well he had been wandering longer than her. He seemed to have seen a few good hardships along the way but whats life on the road without a few of those? She brushed loose locks back and pulled her hair down and worked to put it up anew. "I have been since I was sixteen. But thats only because I was forced to leave home", she said simply shruigging as though it was nothing. Tieing off the strip that hel her hair up she put both arms behind her holding her up. Looking ahead. "What all can you do", she said and looked at him with a pause,"with weapons and fighting"

Laios listens to her and his brow rose as she spoke softly he bobbed his head showing he was listening. "ah. About the same, though of course I was forced at a younger age." Watching as she lightly stretches herself out, leaning back on her hands he felt a slight yearning come to him. wanting to touch her, get to know her. More on a deeper level. drawing his eyes away to forget this sudden rush of emotion he listens to her speak again. He shifts lightly from where he sits and he laughs. "honestly I don't really pay attention to what I do. Warrior none the less but nothing then your average slice and dice." He shrugs lightly. "I like more.. hand and hand combat personally. Quicker and better that way... I think." Once more he shrugs ashe to lightly leans only he was in a more of a laying postion leaning on his arm as he stares out into the ocean.

Listening to each word he spoke carefully. Eyes tudied him and every once and a while scan about as he spoke but always returned to him. When he finished she raised both brows. "Would that because of the simple need of brute strength or wits and strength", she asked refering to his prefrence to hand to hand. Sad when you thought of it. This woman loved the sight of blood and pain. Adored it. Disliking the simple things in life and others. Yet she couldn't keep her eyes from the man before her. Shifting so she lay opn her side and one elbow held her up and a hand rested on her hip so she faced him. Waiting for his reply. The anwser would tell her something about him.
