[Elektra, Carolina]
You guys got a minute? There’s somebody I’d like you to meet

[For anyone else, Xena can be found tending to the aforementioned somebody in the stables- a rather beautiful and extremely intelligent horse. And if Xena’s looking more tender than you’ve ever seen her…it’s because she likes this horse more than she likes most people, to be honest. Best castle Solstice present ever.]

Hey girl. I’ve missed you.

For how long?

[forgedinbattle]

[Gods, how long had it been. She'd had Argo before... Before.]

Longer than almost anyone else in my life.

[likethetragedy]

[Elektra smiles. She's happy for her. ;;] Sounds nice.

[forgedinbattle]

Good to have somebody along for the ride, anyway. [It's actually kind of depressing when you think about it- the horse being the most stable relationship in her life.]

[likethetragedy]

I've never been big on partners personally.

[forgedinbattle]

There's a reason the only one I have doesn't talk. [Or the only one she knows she has. Joxer's not a partner, okay? He's a...pet. Like a really dumb stray puppy you just don't have the heart to shoo away.]

[likethetragedy]

You may have found the trick. Too bad it'd be unusual for me to have a horse for a partner in my time.

[forgedinbattle]

Still seems kinda weird to me. Hard to imagine I guess. [A pause] Paris helped, though.

[likethetragedy]

[Elektra grins at that.] Cars are nice, aren't they? No personality but, nice.

[forgedinbattle]

Comfortable. And fast. They'd cut down on a lot of traveling time, that's for sure.

[likethetragedy]

If there's one thing we do well in my time it's convenience.
