Xena felt herself tense up gods she hated it when people read her like that. She took hold of the tankard taking a long drink before looking at him only to feel her anger pass what was the point in being annoyed so long as no one heard what she said next then it was fine. Plus he didn’t seem like a bad man just a curious older one who meant no harm. She took another drink as she looked at the well lit clean tavern with its clean wood and well scrubbed appearance may she should have got their room here the room they were staying in was smelt bad and it had wet patches on the ceiling. She turned back to look at the tavern owner keeping her voice as low as possible. “It’s a she and I don’t deserve her.” The burly older man adjusted his colourful robes shaking his head. “Well just be sure not to tell anyone else that.”

He put a hand through his short white hair as he leaned forward lowering his voice again. “Me I don’t care who you love or who breaks your heart, but make sure you are not in sight of Princess Sophia…” He sneered slightly. “The little bitch will castrate you she isn’t that kind about that sort of thing with men or women…its market day tomorrow so she’ll be shopping.” Xena rolled her eyes. “Thanks I’ll make sure to remember that.” She turned only to watch as the door was forced open by someone who strolled in with two women his loud voice hitting the air. “You should have seen it ladies, the both of these two huge strong Satyr’s they fell prey to Joxer the mighty great sword.”

Xena turned watching as the short dark haired medium built man who was her height smiled with joy. His wide smile growing even wider he was wearing his plated round chest plate with its thick round woven metal frame. One of his shoulders had a leather woven area and animal fur while the other had a heavy metal shoulder plate on it. He adjusted his thick brown and red leather shirt and thick belt with its dark brown trousers and ankle high heavy leather boots, as he raised his hand. “Why they were so terrified that they fled in fear.” Xena breathed in deeply gods this was going to be a long day she could feel it already in the pit of her stomach.
