“Sleep,” she said and Cyrene looked at her.
“Did they eat anything?” Cyrene asked and Xena shook her head.
“No, they didn’t even take a bath, they’re in their beds asleep just as dirty as when they walked in here,” Xena said and Cyrene shook her head as she went down the stairs and Xena grinned when she heard the groans of her brothers and her mother fussing at them.
“Messing up clean sheets like that, what’s the matter with you two?” Cyrene said as she ushered her sons up the stairs. “Take a bath and put something in your stomachs, then go to bed,” Cyrene said and they only nodded as they headed to the bathing room. Cyrene shook her head at her sons as she walked over to the counter and began cleaning up, “their so exhausted, we need more hands but I just don’t have the money for it.” Cyrene said and then she thought about it. “Maybe I can get Ulysses to help,” Cyrene said.
“What?” Xena asked as she spun around and looked at her mother.
“Did I forget to tell you dear?” Cyrene innocently asked.
“Tell me what mom?” Xena asked and her mother looked at her.
“Ulysses and his friend are going to be working here for a while; helping me to get some things repaired around here, move heavy stuff, things like that since your brothers are so busy with the fields,” she said and Xena looked at her.
“It was his idea, not mine,” Cyrene said and Xena shook her head as she turned back around and continued washing dishes.
“Well I guess it couldn’t hurt and maybe he and his friend can take some of the strain off of Lyceus and Toris,” Xena said and Cyrene grinned.
“Exactly what I was thinking when I hired him,” Cyrene said and Xena just continued washing dishes.
“Wait, but you just said you didn’t have the money for extra hands so how are you paying Ulysses and Virgil?” Xena asked after she thought about it.
“Well, he said he didn’t want to be paid. All he wanted was for him and his friend to be able to stay in their rooms without cost as well as be able to eat and bathe.” Cyrene said and Xena turned and looked at her.
“That’s all? He didn’t ask for any money?” Xena asked and Cyrene shook her head.
“Nope, that was all,” Cyrene said and Xena turned back around. “Though I think he just wants to be around you more. Get to know you,” Cyrene said and that gave Xena something to think about and think about it she did, from the moment she helped her mother clean up the Inn to the point she laid down and went to sleep.
