Library, Wednesday [3/9]

The books seemed, for the most part, to be behaving themselves today, which was fine with Gabrielle; it meant she had to spend less time wrangling them, and could focus instead on the several books on aikido she'd picked out. After Pacifism class yesterday, she'd felt a bit . . . inspired to learn more about it, since it seemed like the sort of skill that would be useful for her.

(There was a bit of a twinge as she got into her reading and realized that she recognized a few of those techniques as things Xena had taught her, admittedly.)

Every now and then her mind drifted off to the problem of what to do about the weekend -- she hardly expected Xena to show up, not after everything, and her parents weren't likely to leave Poteidaia or let Lila go, either. As for Ephiny, she couldn't take the time to get away with the tribe badly decimated, though she had invited Gabrielle to come visit instead.

It sounded like a good idea, and she was leaning toward taking her regent up on it. But for now, more reading about this aikido stuff.
