phpishy Xena/Gabby - someone's underwear has gone missing
The warrior walked up the path leading away from the lake, drying her hair with a worn cloth. She had left Gabrielle sleeping by the campfire while she took her morning swim but as she neared their campsite Xena could see a flurry of movement; speeding up her walk she entered the clearing to discover the bard rummaging around the site, looking for something.
“What’s wrong?” asked Xena as she walked over to her saddlebags.
Tossing articles of clothing out of her bag, Gabrielle let a breath out in exasperation. “What did you do with it?” she asked giving the warrior a stern look.
“Do with what?” Xena asked as she stepped into her leathers and pulled it up, adjusting it where needed.
Gabrielle tossed her bag on the ground and moved to lace up the back of Xena’s outfit. Tugging on the ties she replied, “What did you do with my underwear last night?” punctuating each word with a sharp tug to the leather ties.
“Hey, not so tight; I need to breathe, you know,” Xena remarked. “And as for your underwear, I have no idea what you’re talking about.”
“Seriously? You didn’t hide them or something?” the bard asked as she finished lacing up the warrior.
Turning around and gathering the smaller woman in her arms, Xena laughed softly. “As much as the idea of you walking around with no underwear on all day makes me grin, it’s not very practical now is it,” the warrior said.
“No, I can see how it wouldn’t be. Although it could be a new way to distract bad guys so you can clobber them,” Gabrielle replied with a wicked grin on her face.
Laughing loudly, Xena squeezed the bard in a hug and kissed the top of her head. “That’s one way to win a fight,” she said still chuckling. “Why don’t you find a new pair from your bag while I feed Argo her breakfast,” she added.
Gabrielle giggled and nodded her head. “I’ll get us some food going, too,” she said and moved out of Xena’s embrace to find a new pair of underwear.
Still smiling, Xena walked over to where Argo was tethered and was greeted with a soft nicker then a nudge from the palomino mare. “Hey, girl, you ready for some oats?” the warrior asked, rubbing the mare’s neck.
Argo nickered again and as Xena moved to get the bag of oats from her saddle, the mare nudged the woman with her muzzle. “Hey, now, I’m hurrying,” the warrior said. This didn’t stop the horse, who nudged the warrior again, this time almost knocking her down. “Are you trying to tell me something?” Xena asked as she gave the mare a worried look. Argo nickered again and bumped her head against the warrior’s chest, knocking her to the right. Xena steadied herself against the nearby tree, looking up she caught sight of some familiar material hanging out of a nest.
Grinning, the warrior rubbed Argo’s back. “Well, looks like I found Gabrielle’s underwear. Let’s just let that squirrel keep them, okay, girl,” she said to the horse. Xena finished pouring oats into a feed bag and gave it to the mare, who just nodded her head up and down in agreement with her mistress while munching on her breakfast. Giving the horse a final pat, Xena returned to the campfire where Gabrielle was fixing their food.
