Gabrielle looked up sharply. “I was drinking when I drink, I say foolish things and I was drunk that night.” She raised her hand to her lover. “Xena had to help me to bed, if you remember right.” Autolycus slowly pulled back not liking the cold hard stare which the blonde woman was giving him. “Well next time we meet we’ll talk about this, okay.” He turned slightly not hearing a reply. “Well then I’ll see you both in Berioa.” Xena turned watching as her lovers eyes returned to normal. “Yeah we’ll see you there, don’t tell any one we are here okay?” Autolycus smiled widely as he picked up his broken rope hook of the table. “Xena I wouldn’t do that.” He jumped over the balcony that led on to the beach. “I mean I am the king of thieves.” Xena breathed in watching as he gave her a wave before disappearing in to the night. She turned looked at her lover who had had been standing in the villa’s entrance which led on to the balcony. She wanted to ask her about her words on the Aztec gold. She had never seen her become so cold so quickly, it was like looking in to the eyes a person she didn’t know.

At the time that Gabrielle had searched the Aztec lands she’d been unable to reach her thanks to Akemi who had trapped her after she had freed the souls. She should have never trusted her from start it was something she deeply regretted now. She had no idea what had gone on in the lands of Mexica and Gabrielle never seemed to want to talk about it. She breathed in deeply she was going to let this one go it could wait for another time. They were on vacation now and she really wanted to enjoy it. She moved forward gently putting her arms around the younger woman’s waist. “Now where were we?” Gabrielle smiled as she put her arms up around the taller woman’s neck. “You were kissing me.” Xena leaned closer watching as the moonlight reflected off her lovers green eyes causing them to shine.  “I was wasn’t I.” She slowly smiled before capturing her lips again. She breathed in enjoying every sensation as the kiss deepened she moved her hands up running them through the blonde hair as she felt her lovers hands move through her own hair.
