“You’re just upset because you
aren’t getting any,” Xena said to her brother while her
arms were still wrapped around Ulysses and his arms were wrapped
around Xena. Lyceus snickered at Xena’s remark while Toris
walked up to his sister, “you know you’re right, I am
upset because I’m not getting any…” he said then
took a step forward. “SLEEP,” Toris yelled at them.
“I didn’t hear anything last night,” Cyrene said
and Toris let out a breath as he looked at his mother. “You
never hear anything mom, you never hear when Lyceus has a girl in
his room,” Toris said. “Hey,” Lyceus said since
his brother was basically telling on him. “Tartarus you
don’t even hear when I have a girl in my room,” Toris
said. “Well that would be because you never have one in your
room,” Lyceus said and Toris smacked his brother on the back
of his head. “Hey,” Lyceus said as he swung at his
brother, “enough you two,” Cyrene told her sons.

 

 

“All I’m saying is can you guys keep it
down, maybe get it all out of your system while we’re all
awake,” Toris said and by then Ulysses had sat down and Xena
was sitting on his lap with Ulysses’ arms wrapped around her.
“Sure thing Toris you just help mother cook, see that
everyone in the Inn has what they need,” Xena said.
“Chop wood, fix things around the Inn,” Ulysses
continued and then Xena began again. “Serve food, have men
pinching your ass, make beds,” Xena said and Ulysses chuckled
in Xena’s shoulder about the part with men pinching her ass.
“Alright,” Toris said then let out a breath,
“I’ll just continue to sleep with Lyceus,” he
said. “I don’t think so, I can not take another night
of your snoring,” Lyceus said and Toris just ignored him.
They all sat down at the table, a few minutes later Virgil joined
them and the guards ate in the dinning area so that they could keep
an eye on things.

 

 

As they sat down and ate breakfast it came natural
to Xena and Ulysses the things they did. Marguerite and Julian
watched as they ate their own breakfast how Xena put butter and jam
on Ulysses’ toast and he poured her some juice and he added a
little salt to her potatoes while she cut his toast in half.
Ulysses picked up a potato with his fork and fed it to Xena who
smiled and nodded that he put the right amount of everything that
she wanted on them. Xena picked up a piece of toast and fed it to
Ulysses who nodded as well and then they began eating,
“it’s amazing, it’s as if they’ve known
each other for years,” Marguerite said and Julian nodded.
“It took us a while before we did that,” he said and
Marguerite nodded, they continued to eat but watched Xena and
Ulysses out of the corner of their eyes.
