Summary
Gabrielle extracts the mirror from the box, testing the feel of it in her hand. It weighs more than she expects, and she runs her fingers along the golden edges. They still glisten even after being touched. Though she can’t quite understand the intention– she hasn’t allowed herself vanity since the time Aphrodite cursed her with it, and she’s afraid of what would become of her if she played into it again – she can’t deny that it’s one of the most beautiful things she’s ever laid eyes on. When she offers Aphrodite a gentle smile, she finds that there’s no artifice in the gesture. “Thank you. Really.”
“And I haven’t even told you the best part yet.”
Gabrielle’s heart drops. There it is. “I thought you said there wasn’t a catch?”
Aphrodite looks caught. “Well, it’s not a catch, necessarily. Think of it more like… a special feature?”
or, aphrodite has a birthday present for gabrielle: a mirror that lets xena see what she's doing, and that allows her to see xena. this goes as well as you would think.
