The-Sword-and-the-Staff

There’s a moment when I look at you And no speech is left in me, My tongue breaks, Thin fire runs under my skin And I tremble and grow paler than the reed For I am dying of such love, Or so it seems to me.

That easy empathy they have is just another reason why they’re meant for each other because one has what the other is in need of which is the basis of every romantic relationship. To cater to and provide what the other has a lack thereof. When Xena pulls Gabrielle into her and Gabrielle cradles her head into Xena’s breastplate… Xena is saying through her body language “Hush now, give it all to me. Trust in me. Rely on me. I am here. I’m not going anywhere”. This is the kind of thing, that in my opinion, makes them seem much more so a couple then they would if they were to kiss each other every episode. This is more intimate because there is more ease than tension between them when they hold on to each other like this in this scene and in many other scenes. It shows deep love.

I’ve been watching Xena lately and in the second episode she gets shot with an arrow and that guy helps nurse her back to health (i say help because Xena is Xena and she had to walk him through it) and she was getting ready to leave but she got hurt lifing something. so he hits her with this “Are you so brave that you fear being cared for?” and there was this milisecond pause and i know she was probably like…. boy?? what????
