He was amazed at the fact that he was able to watch his older brother get married to the man of his dreams. Joxer had to smile at how happy Jayce looked, his eyes glowing as he gazed up at the large man who ran the traveling show that the older brother had joined nearly two years before.

They all knew that the mortal government would never accept their marriage, or at least not the ones that ran the larger, major cities.

But they didn't care about that. They were happily in love and if no one accepted it, they were just fine with that.

Clapping at the end of the ceremony with the rest of the people around him, Joxer stood with his fellow guests as the happy couple walked down the aisle between the seats. Following after them, heading to the reception area, he had to smile as the newly married couple greeted everyone and told them to indulge in the lunch offerings and later, dinner offerings. Moving out of the way, he found a small table and sat down on the pillow that was offered, happy to watch everyone for the moment.

Smiling as he took the cup of ale offered to him by a waiter, he blinked as Cupid flopped down onto the pillow next to him, the man smiling softly as he watched Jayce and his husband dance together.

"Cupid, what a surprise to see you here," Joxer greeted, nodding his head to the God of Love, getting a nod in return.

"Mom got a high off these two," Cupid said, looking over at him with a smile. "So I got sent instead to show the House of Love supports them for her. I find mortals so odd, putting rules and laws on marriage, when all they should worry about is what the Gods' think, especially Hera."

"I know. And everyone here knows this. You try getting politicians to actually listen to you," Joxer snorted, giving Cupid a long look before shrugging.

"Indeed," Cupid laughed, shaking his head as blond hair fell into his eyes.

Joxer simply smiled and turned back to the dancing couples before he said, "I'm glad that I was able to get away from Xena and Gabrielle. I was worried they would try to follow me out of boredom."

"You can thank Strife for distracting them well enough to let you get away easily," Cupid drawled, watching a soft smile dance over Joxer's lips.

"I'll have to do a few things for him than," came the quiet reply as Joxer played with a delicate goblet that had been placed before him by one of the younger servants, the other cup taken away. Cupid hummed and watched long fingers move, knowing that the wannabe warrior was just playing, acting the way he did around them so he could keep a close eye on them. He did it for Hera, using a well hidden contact to send information to her.

"One of these days, we're gonna find out who your contact guy is for Hera," Cupid drawled lowly, Joxer chuckling and tipping his cup at him.

"You'd be surprised, but I'm not gonna tell you until I get the okay from her. It's not only to protect her, but me and my contact. We're both in bad spots for this information to come out," he stated, shrugging with a smile. "It shouldn't be long now," Joxer said, shrugging with a smile.

"I hope so. Dad is pouting something fierce," Cupid sighed, getting a low laugh.

"He'll have to wait to," Joxer teased. The God and mortal continued to talk and enjoy each others company as the wedding reception around him continued.

Joxer though had to wonder how the rest of the Gods would take to the fact that Joxer was filtering information about Xena and Gabrielle, and their adventures to Hera through Iolaus, Hercules' closet friend.

It would be fun to see their reactions when it finally came out.
