Xen groans in relief as some of the pain eases from her face and head, then winces slightly at the alcohol.  "I'm still alive cause I'm a stubborn bitch."  She snorts, glances askance at the disguised woman.  "What?  Everybody's half-naked.  You're... gods' blood, you smell good."<br/><br/>The barbarian cooperates, allowing them to continue their ruse.  "Just... tell me who needs killing.  Keep the axe near me, wrap my wrists in a cord... slipknot it, or tail-knot, so I can remove it quick..."  she rivets Aeryn with a stare.  "I was trying to save you.  I'm sorry I failed."<br/><br/>((ready to move on?))
