Gabrielle stood in front of one of the shop stalls. One hand on her hip and one hand holding up a small bag. "Six denars for this?" She asked with a slight tone. Her head cocked to the side, "Who do you think I am? I could go to the one down there and buy it for four!" She said looking at it. It was a brown bag, just one to carry a few things in. It was great for her new scrolls she was writing. She was in love with the bag, but she didn't want to pay six denars for it. She would convince him that it wasn't worth it. Like Xena had told her many times before, talking was her gift, it was what she was good at. When the man still shook his head, Gabrielle knew what to do then, "I'll give you three for it." She said looking right at him, "Not a denar more, or a denar less." She stared right at him, and finally the man agreed. Gabrielle smiled and pulled out the little bag she had on her waist line. She pulled out three denars, handed them to him, and turned about with the new bag in her hands. 'Spartans.' She thought to herself smiling. Really, she had never seen a bag like that before, and was willing to pay more than he asked for it if her persuasion didn't work. But lucky for her it had worked. She glanced around, seeing all the faces around her. Not one of them was Xena. She sighed, where was the Warrior Princess?

Wulfgar glanced around while walking through the streets with a confused look on his face. It was obvious that he was new to this place and seemed lost. Under his breath he said the following. "And I thought the last town I was in was weird...I guess thats what I get for coming to this land." Wulfgar walked past a blonde haired lady and stopped looking at the good displayed at the table. He reached up and began scratching his chin with a bewildered look on his face.

Gabrielle looked about. Xena always stuck out; six feet tall woman dressed in leather. She sighed and looked back into the bag. It would be perfect for her new scrolls. She glanced up when she saw a man pass by, looking completely lost. She hadn't really helped anyone since she came to Sparta, the need to do good overwhelmed her. Gabrielle took a step forward, to approach the man. "Lost?" She asked.

After looking at the items displayed on the table and shaking his head slightly he looked over at the woman and smiled slightly. "Not really, more confused and overwhelmed than anything. Not anyplace like this back home." The man shifted his stance and extended his hand out as an offering.
"Although I appreciate the concern even for a complete stranger...yet another thing I'm not entirely used to. By the way my name's Wulfgar."

Gabrielle smiled and shook his hand. "It takes a few visits to get used to it." Her eyes shifted around once more, but then went back on him. She laughed a little. He really wasn't from around here, if he was he'd know her. Well he might as soon as Xena shows up, "I'm Gabrielle, Potadaea is much different. Where're you from?" She asked trying to make conversation. She needed company.

He looked at the woman considering how to answer her question then shook his head slightly. "I'm from the Norse lands...but having been banished and ashamed by my father I left. Potadaea? Sorry can't say I've heard of it...until now that is."
After shaking her hand Wulfgar releases his grip and runs his hand through his hair. "So your from this land huh? Would you happen to have known a woman who left these lands about 20 years ago never to return?"

"Depends on what woman you're referring to."Xena said ,joining the conversation with perfect timing as usual.Ever vigilant and aware of her surroundings Xena had been paying close attention to Gabrielle out of the corner of her eye,while browsing around for more supplies no more then two tents away.Even though Gabrielle was capable of taking care of herself that didn't stop Xena from always keeping a wary eye on the battling bard,The Gods only knew what kind of trouble that girl could get herself into if Xena so much as blinked in a different direction.
Standing tall and straightening her breast plate a little,Xena rested a hand on Gabrielle's shoulder,her eyes curiously examining the man while her facial expression appeared to be deceptively indifferent.He didn't appear to be much of a threat,anyone who was polite enough to introduce themselves this way was hardly cause for concern. So unless he was planning on earning their trust with kindness and then revealing his true colors later on--which was highly unlikely--there was definitely no cause for concern."What did you say your name was?" Xena added plainly,stopping herself once she realized she was on the verge of staring. [/blockquote]

The man slightly startled by the sudden appearance of an obvious warrior jerked his upper body back a little then returned to how he was standing. "Oh sorry...didn't notice you there..." the man extended his hand out. "...the name's Wulfgar. I don't actually know the womans name that I'm looking for only her description and that my father said she was from Greece somewhere."

Gabrielle was startled to see Xena come out of no where. You'd think by now she'd have gotten used to it. Looking up at Xena, she spoke in a whisper noticing that she was staring, "Xena," then she spoke up a bit, "He's from the Norse Lands." She turned to him, examining him as well as Xena was. Gabrielle didn't sense anything wrong with him; but if Xena was suspicious there was always a good reason. He seemed nice though. She hoped he's become an friend, not turn to a foe. She thought about the Norse Lands for a moment, they had many memories there.

((OOC: If you don't like the idea let me know and I'll modify the post either way here goes.))
After standing there fr a few seconds and getting no response from the woman Wulfgar moved his arm up to his head to move his hair out of his face.
"Umm well the only other thing I know is that she supposedly had a sister by the name of Cyrene. My father sadi she lived in a village called something like Amphilios? Not really sure he only mentioned once and by complete accident..."
((OOC: Leaving this open for possible interruption by anyone.))

[Sorry I didn't get the chance to reply until now,give me a little while to reply after you guys post lol ] "Wulfgar ,eh?" Xena repeated,listening to Gabrielle intently.The Norse Lands were certainly an interesting place to call home and if nothing else ,that mere fact peaked her interest."I'm Xena.."She replied,assuming the man didn't already know who she was other wise he would have pointed it out ,Everyone else did.As if she didn't already know that she was Xena , The Warrior Princess.
Now there were alot of things that Xena would let slide and she considered herself to be a rather layed back woman --most of the time--alright so she was working on it. However the mention of her deceased mother Cyrene was still a touchy subject for her.Sure she understood that the man had no way of knowing that her mother had passed away but that didn't stop Xena's mood from changing for the worst."Amphipolis..."Xena corrected bitterly."What do you want with the daughter of Cyrene?" Xena added,trying to regain control of herself. [/blockquote]

Wulfgar was taken aback by the mention of a daughter but shook it off after a few seconds realizing that it was highly likely that his moms sister wed and had children. "Well I'm not actually looking for a child I was hoping to meet her and find out about my mother. Why do you know where she or at least one of her children lives?" As he asked the question he berated himself in his mind, knowing that he shouldn't have rushed his question like that on a stranger. "Oh forgive me, either way it's a pleasure to meet you...Xena was it? Can't say I've heard about you."

[ooc: oh ok,thats what I thought,lol ]
"I see. Well ,Cyrene's daughter is not much of a child at all..."Xena replied,glancing over at Gabrielle curiously."You're looking at her. Cyrene is...was...my mother...She passed away about a year ago."Xena added plainly.It wasn't the boys fault that had he had been misinformed so there really was no reason for Xena to take out her frustrations on him.After all he was an innocent in need and it was their job to help those in need.Shifting her weight around from one leg to the other Xena rested a hand on her hip.
"Sorry to dissapoint you ,but my mother was an only child....Still,we might be able to help you find who ever it is you are looking for." Xena offered.
