(Los) Aegis looks to Cuth strangely. "What's gotten into you? It was just a nightmare.  You're safe here.  What has you so spooked?"

Zurie smiles resignedly. "I...appreciate your offer, but it's a bit more complicated than that. First, Xena couldn't just hand the province over, I'd have to fight Xena for it, and I doubt she'd throw the fight.  Second, the Iveria is now a Chartered Province of the realm.  If I did take it back over, I'd have to keep up everything that Leontyne is doing.  If I abandoned it, I'd be wrecking all of the commerce that Leontyne has set up, that the entire Realm has come to depend on.  She's...made important improvements.  The realm depends on her communication and shipping businesses.  I wouldn't have a clue how to run them."

She sighs. "And, honestly, as much of a bitch she can be, she treats me really well. I'm her servant, but I'm also pretty much her girlfriend, too.  And the people love her.  They'd be upset if she were to be usurped.  I've...learned some lessons, whether I like to admit it or not."
