Gabrielle leaned back against the tree, enjoying the cool breeze and comfort the shade offered to her perspiring body. After finishing her daily practice bout with Xena, any coolness was a blessing. She reached into the pack leaning against the tree and withdrew a blank scroll and her quill set. Watching her partner continue with more drills was an inspiring sight indeed.
“She really is poetry in motion,” Gabrielle said aloud to herself; putting quill to scroll she began to write.
Sun glistens on sweat drenched limbs
Muscles tighten as she springs up and forward
Landing she plants a foot and twirls around
The air swooshes over her sword as she parries imaginary foes
Dodging phantom sword thrusts she drops to the ground on one knee
Thrusting upwards with the sword in a motion meant to disable not kill
A dance of movements meant to injure and maim
But yet amazing to behold
Glancing up from her writing, she realized Xena had finished with her drills and was walking towards the tree to sit down in the shade. As the warrior grew near the bard, she gave the sword one last twirl and sheathed it in the scabbard on her back, sitting down next to the other woman she picked up the water skin lying on her saddle and took a long drink.
“Are you working on a new story?” she asked, noticing the scroll in Gabrielle’s lap.
“No…not a story, just had a moment of inspiration for something,” she answered with a grin.
Knowing that grin all to well; Xena sighed and shook her head, “You wrote about me didn’t you? She grumbled, “Can’t you write about something besides me for once?”
Gabrielle laughed at the warrior’s grumbling whine, “When you stop being you, then I’ll write about someone else,” she said laughing again.
Xena just shook her head at the bard’s answer, rising to her feet she turned and walked towards Argo, leaving Gabrielle to smile at her retreating form.
