Gabrielle plays innocent

The next day, the foursome continued their ride and were soon about to reach their destination. That evening, they stopped by a river and made camp there. Tassa set about building up the campsite, while Xena and Gabrielle went hunting.

Xena was glad to finally get some time with Gabrielle and quickly moved the subject to their companions. "What do you think of Tassa and Hermallia? You seem to be spending quite a bit of time with them, especially Hermallia."

Gabrielle put on her best acting face and frowned. "Tassa seems nice. She's friendly and is sincere. Hermallia is that way too, but I don't know. She's holding back something. Some sort of secret, like she's embarrassed over something. I'm kinda curious about it, but...I haven't found out what it is."

Xena shook her head. "Ever the inquiring one, aren't you, Gabrielle. Is that why you spend time with her? To find out her secret?"

"Well, it helps pass the time," Gabrielle stammered.

Xena frowned. "Well, I am curious myself. But, it is their business. I don't think it is a good idea to intervene."

Gabrielle sighed. "I suppose you're right." The two had gotten back close to the camp, which was made slightly in the woods behind the cover of trees. The pair were wondering around the bushes that dotted the riverside.

Gabrielle quickly said, "I'm going to fill up our water bottles," and headed down by the bank, between some large bushes before Xena could react.

The Warrior Princess instead looked at their catch of small animals for the day and Xena found herself admitting that at least Tassa was a good cook and she would be able to serve a nice meal with the catches.

Just the, Gabrielle came rushing back up the bank. "Xena, come quick," she said, urgently but quietly. She grabbed Xena's hand and tried to drag her back down the bank toward the river.

"What is it, Gabrielle? Danger?" Xena said, her other hand going for her sword.

"No, it's just I think I found out about Hermallia's secret," Gabrielle said. She made shushing sounds and led Xena down by the water's edge. She pulled back some branches of nearby bush and pointed.

Xena glanced over and saw a that a tall woman, Hermallia, was bathing nearby. The woman was naked and Xena was impressed by the muscles along her arms and legs. Then, she noticed something else. The muscle BETWEEN the legs. There was a nice, long cock between Hermallia's legs.

"S-s-she's a hermaphrodite," Gabrielle said. "And a hot one too!"
