Gabrielle stumbled into the cave, upsetting the soft beam of morning light just beginning to enter the small space. She was carrying two overloaded armfuls of vines, flowers and branches. She looked around the cave quizzically, then began rushing about wildly to set her plan into motion. "What are you doing?" asked Xena.
"Redecorating!" beamed Gabrielle, as she strung a flowering vine from one edge of the cave to the other. Xena raised her eyebrows. "Well you said we're gonna stay here for at least a little while, right?" reminded Gabrielle, "Why not make it a little more inviting?"
Xena smiled and continued sharpening her blade. "Just don't take all day," said Xena, "We have to go into town later."
