So he had just been standing there, facing further down into the tunnels when he heard her coming from up ahead. He swung around. Of course. He should've expected her to do something like that. He snorted to himself. Xena just showin off that she was sneaky sneaky.

Xena looked the same as she had earlier except for a bamboo staff strapped to her back. Wow, she was seriously into this ninja stuff. He hoped she was good with that thing.

She greeted him simply as 'Human.' He smiled. The term only made it clearer that this chick was off her rocker.

"Heya Ninja Lady"
- she probably wouldn't appreciate his calling her Xena.- "Nice to see you."


Her slitted eyes glowed in the faint light. Snake contacts again. An image came to mind of a school field trip to the zoo. It had been feeding time in the snake pen and they had all oo'ed and aa'ed as the thing opened it's mouth and somehow fit a sizable mice in there. With her all swathed in black and those eyes it looked similar.

Hey, if she thought she was part snake, more power to her. "Eat any good mice lately?"
He smiled as he said it so she'd know he was just teasing her.

To her question, "Yeah, I'm ready. You got somethin for us to check out?"
