Xena had been looking for Gabrielle for a while now. That girl sure knew how to disobey an order that was meant to be followed unconditionally, like a writbecause it came from Xena. As ever, she had managed to wander off somewhere while Xena had gone for an excursion of few hours on her own.
As ever, Xena had set off on her search, that’s when the mannequin like figure had decided to pop up before her with his condescending remark. Xena stopped in her tracks at his sight and craned her neck some in amusement.
“Strife. Still trying to impress Uncle Ares are we? You can’t help me, but perhaps a reminder of who I am would refresh your memory some?” Xena tapped on her sheathed sword while still sitting on her mount and smirked.
“No no, I don’t need to impress Unc! I’m capable of doing things on my own, if anything he needs me!” While Strife was often at the spear head of most of Ares’ plans, so by that standard a valuable asset to his Uncle. It wasn’t like Ares really needed the young God as much as Strife would hope.
An eyeroll was cast her way at that question “I’m a God! A simple sword isn’t going to kill me Xena, remember?” His tone came out in a mocking manner, pulling an incredulous look for added emphasis. Of course this didn’t stop Jaded hues from wavering over the weapon cautiously, yes it might not kill him, but it would hurt..a lot.
