Asja  is shocked at the sudden show of affection, and not in a good way. But she doesn't say anything when Cire  says he's going to give the vial to Xena, and watches him go without a word.

In the next room, everyone sees her reenter.

"Asja, what did you do?" Ibrahim asks.

"That is my business,  Master, and mine alone.  Cire will be back shortly.  If we're to continue,  we must wait for him."

"Damn.  All right, but we don't have much time."

"I know, Master.   Believe me." Asja glares as she puts her hair back up.

Ibrahim walks out to the balcony where Hound stands.

He doesn't say anything for several seconds. He places his hands on the wrecked balustrade.

"Whatever you're thinking, don't, " He says. "And don't say anything.   Whatever was said in there we can discuss later.  And we will discuss it, and there will be a later."

He looks out over the ruins, listening to the sounds of battle not far off. "I suppose we'd better bring Jorge back and bring him to his senses.  You go knock him out and drag him back and I'll get Rhun and see what she can do to help."

He goes back inside and finds Rhun. "Rhun, I'm going to need your help.  Marcus is bringing Jorge back inside and I'm going to try and use some short term chronological magic to erase his memory of...what happened in there.  Can you link with him and ease his mind?"
