[Snuggled may be the wrong word. Xena doesn't snuggle; she leans sortofaffectionately. Which she is now content to do against Roy as he takes his seat. She smiles a bit, obviously amused at the nickname.]

"Amazon?" I'm flattered.

Barbara feels more at ease than she has in a very long time, and it's with a rare comfort that she relaxes against Xena, breathing in the scent of friends and chocolate.

"Fitting, I think," she says, smiling up at Roy.

"What can I say? I've got a gift."

Roy absolutely snuggles. Roy snuggles with abandon, winding his arm around Xena's waist and stretching his feet out to warm them by the fire. He sips his cocoa and sighs, a sound of deep content.

"Gotta say." He taps his socked foot against Xena's leg. "It almost doesn't get better than this."

And this is one of those rare times in her life when Xena doesn't feel like she has to be on guard. She smiles-a full genuine grin, not the slightly bitter smirk that she often wears- and takes a sip from the hot chocolate.

"No, it doesn't."

Barbara winds her arm round Xena's shoulders, brushing Roy's arm. The tender contact comes so easily that she can't comprehend her old reluctance.

"I could definitely get used to this." And why shouldn't she?
