Xena said with a grin and Cadell nodded, “of
course I hope for your sake he’s this active in bed,”
Cadell said and Xena looked at him and he looked at her.
“I’m just saying,” he said and she grinned at
him, “have no worries Cadell, Ulysses definitely
doesn’t have any problems in that area.” Xena said and
he nodded, “so you must make a lot of money,” she said
and Cadell shook his head. “You’d think so but
I’m originally from Greece, in Thebes and I came here to
learn more about the arts. They’re a little touchy about who
they let in to whatever important thing plus, I think my art is too
real.

 

 

Shows too much,” he said and Xena looked at
one of his pictures, “I think it’s great that your
pictures show such detail. It’s like you’re actually
catching the moment,” Xena said as she looked at a picture of
a woman working at the river. “Yea well I don’t make a
lot of money. I’ve been trying to get back to Greece but I
can’t afford it, I think I could make a little more money
there if I could get back.” He said and Xena looked at him,
“well if returning to Greece is what you really want then
when we leave you’re welcome to come with us.” She said
and his hand knocked of the water he was using and she looked at
him. “Are you serious?”

 

 

He asked and she looked at him, “yea.
You’re great at what you do Cadell and I’m sure once
you’re back in Greece you can find a place and make you some
money, I can even introduce you to a few people.” She said
and he looked at her with happiness in his eyes. “If you were
to do this I would be forever grateful and repay you back in
whatever way I can.” He said and she grinned, “Finish
the picture,” she said and he nodded and went back to work.
Ten minutes later Ulysses quietly walked back into the tent with
his hand behind his back. He walked up behind Xena who was looking
at a picture; he placed a kiss on her neck and she jumped in
surprise. She turned around and looked at Ulysses a grin coming to
her features, “should I have left you and the painting
alone?” He asked with a grin and she grinned at him.
