"Gabbyyyyyyyyyyy!!!! I’ve been looking all over.." (Crash, bang) Gabrielle looked up from her news parchment as Joxer literally fell into the room. "….Tartarus for you guys."

"Well you found us or at least me." Gabrielle said as she helped brush the debris off Joxer, though it was hard to tell where the debris ended and his clothing began. "Is it necessary for you to spill into every room you enter? The fine patrons of this establishment weren’t looking for a floor show this early in the morning". Finished with Joxer, Gabrielle sat back down on the bench and picked up the parchment she was reading before Joxer interupted her. "I would appreciate a little quiet while I read over the local news stories".

Joxer glanced at the parchment Gabrielle was holding and read the back page. "Wow!! Classifieds!. I luuuv to read the Personal ads" he said as he snatched the parchment from Gabrielle’s hands, pitching her forward. "Hey! Joxer, I was reading that!". Joxer started reading aloud.. "Ready to Horse Around? Strong Handsome Centaur (with noble bloodlines) searching for filly to call his own… Rats, Not my type, hmmmm" Gabrielle made a lunge for the paper but Joxer somehow managed to dodge away from her.

"Joxer r r r" she said through gritted teeth. Joxer scanned the page again.. "Here’s one that sounds perfect.."Lost Soulmate, Short Blonde seeks tall brunette. l Blue eyes preferred. Sexy look a plus." Joxer looks at Gabrielle then back at the parchment, then turns back to Gabrielle. "Hmmmm, Gabby, Are my eyes blue? because the sexy part is all me"

Gabrielle saw her opportunity. "I don’t know", she said sweetly. "Come here so I can check your eyes." Completely oblivious, he fell right into her trap. "Okay" he said with a grin as he leaned in towards Gabrielle. She cupped the back of his head gently, pulling him in slowly closer then when he came into range, quickly punched him in the eye with her fist "Owww, what’d you do that for?" he said as he held a hand to his eye and plunked himself down onto the bench they had so recently vacated.

Just then all eyes turned as another "tall brunette" entered the inn. This one did have blue eyes and those same eyes skimmed over the crowd dismissively until they locked unerringly onto Gabrielle. A low murmur of "Xena"was repeated throughout the room as the wWarrior Princess passed the various tables to reach the pair on the bench. She just caught the end of Joxer’s running complaint. "Just how am I suppose to shoot my cross-bow now? Gabrielle was shaking her head, "Joxer, you don’t need both eyes to fire your bow."
