Cutting Loose Threads

"Alright, if you say so..." She didn't know this woman until she was saved, so she didn't have the proper context to think properly about the whole "only one of three" thing.

"I know it sounds weird, but you'll get used to it." She said while patting her head.

"It kind of is, but hey, at least I don't have to worry about things get awkward," she replied.

"As long as you don't pounce Dixi... She would try to punch you and then I would punch her, then she would punche me, then I would punch her and well you know how it goes." She joked.

"Ah, the circle of life, a tail as old as time," she joked.

Xana laughted at the pun "You really made that pun didn't you?" She hugged her and gave her a kiss on the neck.

She laughed and held the hug as she admitted, "I honestly didn't intend that pun."

"Well, we should sleep, after all I think Adri was going to send me and Ferro into another assignement tomorrow..." She sighs "I want vacations damn it! Not that I worked that much but I want them!" She joked.

She giggled and agreed to head to sleep, moving to slip under the sheets of their bed. "Don't worry, I'm sure you'll get a vacation...maybe."

Xana shrugged before heading to bed "Unless my stubborn mother finally decides to change her ways I doubt it." She slip under the sheets "But at least I can try and convince Adri to send you with me and have good company." She says smiling.

"I'd love that," Anika whispered as her eyelids drooped and she laid her head against the pillow, ready to fall asleep.

Xana cuddles with Anika before finally falling asleep.

(What now?)

(Back to the Sanctuary and then towards Spike's town? I guess?)

[Next morning]

Xana woke up early and went looking for the Amazon Princess while Anika was still asleep, even thought she said that there was no need for apologies, she felt like she had to do it, she asked a group of amazon where she could find the Princess and went to find her.

"Excuse me, Princess?" She asked before entering her room.

"Hm? Oh, Xana, it's good to see you so early. I must confess, I expected you to prefer sleeping in," she greeted. "What is your business at such a young hour of the day?"

"Sorry for coming in so early..." She stepped inside "I wanted to apologize from my atitude yesterday... it's seems that I was slightly jaleous..."

"Jealous? Oho, I see! Well, I apologize in turn for leading you to think in such a way," she replied. "I can tell when there's a more serious bond between two or more individuals. We Amazons might strike out for mates, but I would never dream about getting between such a relationship. I can't speak for all of my sisters, but I can assure you I would never chase Anika...with the exception of, perhaps, a bit of harmless fun."

"No no, there is no need for you to apology, it was merely my fault, actually until Anika told me I didn't even knew what the hell was happening to me, I never felt jaleous in my life so..." She chuckled.

"Hmm...Interesting. Well, it doesn't matter now, the time has passed and you seem fine now," she said. "Is that all you needed? A number of my sisters and I are preparing for a hunt."

"That would be all Princess..." With a bow she exits the Princess's room but she stopped at the door to think for a bit, then turned around and reentered the Princess room "Mind if I join the hunt? I'm curious." She asked.

"Well that's an odd request. Curious about what?" she asked.

"Of your lifestyle, now that I have more freedom, I like to see and learn from different places and have to admit that I'm curious about the amazon's lifestyle." She explained.

"Very well," she said with a nod. "I'll let my sisters know. Go ahead and prepare yourself. I hope you are a good runner!"

Meanwhile, Anika woke up and stretched her body across the bed, arching her back and yawning. As she finished and rubbed her eyes a bit, she noticed Xana's absence and hopped out of bed to go hunt for her.

"I can be really fast when I want Princess." She says with a smirk and then runs back to her room to prepare finding Anika on the way back "Hey Ani!"
