Today she was tired of her mare, and she spent the last days just wanderign off to be alone not liking being aroudn som many people. so she was getting free. And she had no intentions of bothering with her d**n mare and her pickyness. To be honset she was looking for another mare. But who was she to tell Ember this?
Raven locks were pinned back with a few pins she had and she wore tight fitting black pants and a trim form fitting red shirt. At her waist was her sword and nothing else. Thats all Xena needed after all. So that done she went for a walk and soon was wandering about the forest.
Blue eyes scanned the area about her. Spending time with others had dulled her temper and normal dislike of company but only slightly. But for one acception of couse. Laios, he had a good well dulled side of her ill temperment for some reason. Though she didn't bother to wonder why. The warrioress slowed her easy pace it was a good few hours since she had been gone. She looked aorund her surrpondings cuirous slightly. Though she was stil;l very alert for anything worth bothering with,

Foot falls were heavy, walking in a slow casual way that nearly just spoke of his arrogance. He had pride and a lot of it, yet even so some one had knocked a portion of that down and had snuck inside his brick wall. But how? How was that even possible for some one to get close to him? Green eyes scan the area, he had left the housing quarters an hour ago and hadn’t realized that someone was also in the area and close by. Lifting his hands he moved his fingers through his brown shaggy hair and closed his eyes. The prince wasn’t his target as of right now the one who he had to get rid of first, now that he had found the prime person, was Raphael. The traitor was working for his brother yet he didn’t really know what his brother wanted with the torn prince.
He moved his hands to his pockets head slightly lowered as he kicked a rock in front of him which went skidding a crossed the ground, twisting and spinning until it stopped. He didn’t exactly have his sword with him and even his mare refused to follow, stuck up Xena’s mares horses rump. All he had was his dagger but really he didn’t even need it. He was close to close hand combat. He breaths in deeply and then exhales it.. Slowly.. Very slowly. He rose his head and that’s when he seen something red off in the distance. His brow rose as he side stepped slightly looking through the brush spotting black hair, form fitting dress, pretty icy blue eyes. Ah.. Crap…. Maybe he could just turn around and not be seen?

Xena turned slightly and knelt down seeing somehting in some ferns. Lifting it up to find it was just some necklace of sorts. Standing easily she inspected it. Blue eyes curiously butonly slightly. But then the sound of someone behind her made her drop it and turned sword coming free the same time. The blade twisted and turned down and she moved forward eyes narrowed.
When she stopped half the distance away seeing him she roughly shook her shoulder back as though hefting somethign off her shoulders with the roll of them. Then she shoved her sword in place once more. "Hey", she mummbled and turned away from him. A single black lock fell forward to frame one side of her face. She sighed and looked around her again. Wondering what brought him this way.

As he started to stalk off the other direction in which he had come, foot stepped out into the path way and then he heard her voice. He froze. She saw him. Of course he wasn’t expecting her not to. Green eyes made a rolling gesture as he turned to look at the female in which he was in denial of liking. She turned from him so he was assuming this would be a good time to go. “Hi.” He merely spoke, his voice low and though it was stronger then her own he felt awkward. He fiddled his fingers in his pocket slowly starting to turn around again.
He honestly didn’t want her to think he was intentionally following her. More of an accident. He was just walking and didn’t even realize she had even COME out this way. He felt stupid felt like kicking himself in the ass and heading back towards the housing quarters. He glanced up at that tree line standing like an idiot or so he felt, back towards her paying little to any attention before he started to walk away.

Xena was content to wait for him to leave and was fine when she heard his firststeps then she rmebered something. She turned. "Laios", she said normal cool voice held a strange slight warmth to it. If she had been paying attention she might have found it weird but she wasn't. "If you don't need or want any help some time soon, and if they don't get over being apart I am getting another horse and going", she said calm tones. They both knew she ment the mares when she said they.
She didn't particually want to leave and go off alone now she knew him though she didn't know it but she was tired of the town and people. Blue eyes on him and then she shifted. Thsi was the most talkative she ever had been around him but she spoke again. "Your point of focused changed didn't it", she asked a brow rasing.

She called his name and it forced his movements to stop. He didn’t look back kept his eyes on the ground and as she said she was going to get another horse. He shook his head. Heru would have a fit and his brow rose as he turned to look at her. He stood in place and nods his head. He couldn’t say he didn’t want her to go when really she probably wanted to, so he would keep his mouth shut. “I doubt… They will separate some time soon. So I would start looking into another horse.” He tried to sound casual but his voice cracked. You can’t force some one to do something if they didn’t want to… no matter how strong you are. He lowered his eyes, jaws twitching and when she spoke again he shifted awkwardly. Glancing up at her once more he nodded slowly. “It has.” he frowns.
“odd how things work out.” He rubbed his face with his hand, head positioning upwards allowing perfect shot and view at his neck. Chiseled jaw twitched again as he closed his jaded eyes. They stared up at the tree line staring out passed the green leafs of the tree then glancing back down at her. “When are you planing to do this any how?” He tilted his head. He wanted to be ready for the wrath of Heru, that hell bent lug would take it out in any shape or form and honestly.. He didn’t want any surprises.

Xena just nodded silent for a long while after he finished speaking altogether. "Not sure when I'll go. But I will start looking at the horses", she said at last and looked at him blue eyes lingered a moment before she looked away. For once her cool nature not comming forth.
"But while I'm still here and you need help I'm willing to", she added in shifting her weight. Having caught the softness of her tone this time. She was never soft, light, or gentle in words unless with her horse. Her weight shifted again awkward as he seemed by now. How did some random stranger she came across make her feel emotions like awkwardness and unsurity and others when she hadn't felt them in so many years?

Such an odd attraction was happening. Jade colored eyes stayed upon the warrior in front of him as she spoke in return to him. She didn’t know when she was going to leave? God she was making this rather difficult on him. His eyes wandered down again. Another habit he had picked up from being alone so long, not able to give direct eye contact. “Probably the best thing for you to do.” he bent down picking up a rock flipping it lightly up and down in his hand, catching it. He started to walk passed her moving on down the trail. He felt odd just standing in one place and had to admit was feeling rather edgy.
He steps quietly listening to her next set of words before it made him stop once more. “Help… Sounds like a grand idea. Except sadly. I have no idea what I am getting into.” A frisky smile crossed his features as he nods his head lightly. “Raphael must be disposed of though… I know that.” he continued on walking moving his sage colored eyes back down the path walking steadily. Would she follow?
