First time Xena and Gabrielle lay eyes on each other.
You know, where I’m headed, there’ll be trouble.
I know.
Then why would you want to go into that with me?
That’s what friends do, they stand by each other when there’s trouble.
All right. Friend.
[Caption: gifs from the pilot episode of Xena: Warrior Princess. Xena watches behind the trees how, when Draco’s men invade Gabrielle’s village, Gabrielle offers herself to them in exchange of them leaving everyone else alone. Hector, one of Draco’s men, says they’ll take everyone and tries to grab Gabrielle, who swats his hand away. That makes him say it’s never too early to “startg training a slave girl” and demands a whip. When he goes to use it against Gabrielle, Xena steps in and grabs the other end (which leads to Hector, confusing her with someone in the village, that it “makes tough women”). Gabrielle, and other women from the village, watch entranced as Xena proceeds to fight them.]
