In
the palace of Queen Cleopatra of Egypt. Xena is taking the place
of the fallen Cleopatra who was murdered, in order to thwart a
Roman plan to conquer Egypt in her absence.
It is a cool, late afternoon in the palace overlooking the sea...
...You know Gabrielle, I could get used to this..."Yea, I
bet", Gabrielle smugly replies. A slave woman walks up and
says, "My Queen, can I get you anything?" Xena
cheerfully answers, "I would love some grapes..." the
woman quickly replies "yes my queen..." then Xena
decided to add, "...some honey with that would be
nice." Of course my queen. She begins to turn away,
"Xena adds again, "Ah, would it be possible to get some
wine?" "If that be your desire", the woman kindly
quips. "Yes, it is my desire". Xena flashes her eyes at
the woman, the slave says, "I shall be right back with your
requests my Queen." "Thank you" Xena says softly
as she begins walking away to gather the items. "Oh..."
Xena suddenly adds, then continues, when the woman turns back to
her, "you said I could have anything? " Yes anything
within the kingdom. Ofters the tall slender woman.
"Good..." Xenas eyes get heavy for a moment, and she
continues, "then I would like to have a sweet young slave
girl sent up to my chambers..." "Yes my Queen, it shall
be done." The woman says, and quickly turns away to tend to
the requests. Gabrielle runs over, "Ah Xena! I mean
Cleopatra, what are you doing? Her scantily clad companion who is
serving as Cleopatra's personal slave inquires. "I thought
we could use some intertainment this evening. This isn't going to
last forever Gabrielle. It has been quite a while since had a
chance to live it up and enjoy ourselves, if you know what I
mean." Gabrielle interupts, "Xena! What about..."
"Come on Gabrielle, live a little. You know, since we died,
you just haven't been as playful as you used to be." Xena
notes sort of to herself, sort of out loud. Gabrielle just gazes
back at her with a look somewhere between astonishment and
discust. "Oh don't worry, the woman is going to be treated
VERY well." The smile on Xena face is all telling, and
Gabrielle smiles slightly to keep up appearences, then says,
"...but that's not the point. She's a slave..."
"Yea but..." The warrior interrupts, "…belive
me, I will have her begging me to take her." "Xena! The
bard blurts out, then adds, "I mean your Highness!"
"What?" Xena says most innocently. Then her eyes get
that heavness to them again, "I've had you begging to be
taken..." "Ah!" Gabby shouts, then starts to wallk
away. Xena quickly says, "What? Where are you going? Hey
come back here!
Gabrielle stops, stands there for a moment, and turns back towards her warrior. Just then, as Xena begins to speak to her, the slave woman walks up, "Here is your wine, grapes and honey my Queen. The girl will be waiting for you at your leasure..." she pauses for a moment, then leans towards the tall warrior, she drops her voice a bit, then says, "…and she is young, and sweet my Queen. She should be quite to your liking." The woman smiles then quickly steps away. "Thank you, I, ah, we, will be there soon." The slave nods kindly, then leaves as quickly as she appeared. "Hey Gabrielle, come on, what did I say?" The dark warrior says almost pleading to her lover who is dressed as a dark haired Egyptian slave girl. Gabrielle starts to walk back towards her soulmate, allowing a slight upturn to her lips to return. Xena begins again, "If you would allow yourself, we could really, learn a lot about ourselves..." Gabrielle smiles as she approaches. "...and have a really good time doing it! The smile quickly leaves Gabbys face, as that look of amazment again intrudes. "Too much of a good time I think..." Gabrielle says under her breath. "What do you say? You know, you might enjoy it, I hear she is sweet to the taste, ah..." Xena says with that heavy lided, eyebrow raised look that always gets Gabrielle to listen to her side of things. "I suppose, as long as she agrees..." Gabby requires of the situation. Xena tugs at the small chain about her neck; "...of course she will... you know she will." The splendid warrior is wearing nothing but a wide gold hip belt draped with red silk that is hanging loosly both in front and in back. It's held in place with a gold rope chain with precious ruby stones and gold beads dripping from it. Also a gold and bronze chain with rubies and gold beads dangles most precariously from her suddenly hard, dark nipples. Xena gazes erotically at her lover, then takes a ripe red apple from the small, food laden table before her, and puts it to her lips, "Hey Gabrielle, while you're over there, I'm hungry...peel me a grape!" "AHHH!" Gabrielle yells unconcerned with those around her. "What...!" Xena lowers the apple from her mouth, "come back, I was just kidding..."
"Hey Gabrielle, I'm hungry...peel me a grape!"
