After Who's Gurkhan?, Xena the legendary warrior princess and Gabrielle the Battling Bard of Poteideia are trekking across the desert. Apparently Eve and Virgil stayed on the boat and took the easy way home.
After trekking, they hit an oasis and have a playful & sexy bath. Relaxing afterwards, they hear sounds of a nearby fight, and see raiders attacking a small group of people. They decide to "even the odds". Gabrielle, while fighting, looks one of her vanquished in the eye, and decides to spare him.
Afterwards the people they've rescued are angry and prepare to fight with them, and are further angered by the idea that their rescuers are pretending to be Xena the legendary warrior princess and Gabrielle the battling bard of Poteideia. When Xena proves with her chakram that she is indeed Xena, they fall and worship them; then provide them with way more hospitality than they really want ("something yummy" to eat and a couple of elders to bed them). But really they want Xena and Gabrielle's help in organizing and leading them against their true enemies -- the Romans, who are trying to wipe them out. Some things never change.
Xena and Gabrielle, visiting the people they fought just yesterday -- a neighboring tribe -- meet with the young man that Gabrielle spared. While Xena, Kahina, and the other troop leader (Tazere?) strategize, Gabrielle hangs out with the young guy she spared. He is quite impressed by her:
- I want to be a warrior. I dare not aspire to Xena's greatness, but I see in your fighting style such intelligence and restraint. I'm going to model myself after you.
He wants to wash Gabrielle's feet, which Xena notices and seems a little discomfitted by. Riding towards the Romans to check things out, Xena asks "What's with the desert boy?"
Gabrielle explains he wants her to teach him to use her sais, and says, "It's kind of strange being thought of as a warrior more than a bard. ... Guess I've come a long way." "Is that a good thing?" Xena asks. Gabrielle pauses, then answers: "Yeah. It is."
Entering the town in disguises (stolen off clotheslines? or packed in their voluminous desert robes?), Gabrielle says sotto voce, "For once, Xena, I'd like to be the Roman noble and you be the slave." Heh.
