Solan : [crying about Kaleipus' death] Like my father...
[pause]
Solan : ... and my mom.
[Xena glances at him]
Solan : But why does everyone I love die?
[pause]
Solan : Is it me?
Xena : [quietly] No, no! Of course not...
Solan : Then why are they dead? Everyone who ever loved me?
Xena : They're not! You still have me-
[Xena stops herself as Solan looks at her]
Xena : ... many, many friends. And they've all said how much they love you and want you to come and live with them...
Solan : But I don't want to.
[pause]
Solan : I want to live with you.
Xena : [whispers] What?
Solan : I won't be any trouble, I promise. I'll catch my own food and keep up. And I'm hardly ever sick...
Xena : Solan, I don't think...
Solan : Please! My uncle always said if anything happened to him, you'd be there for me.
Xena : And he was right. But all your ties are here. Don't you wanna be with someone that you know, someone that you care about?
Solan : Yes, you!
[pause]
Solan : You said we were friends and real friends are like family, right?
Xena : [smiles happily] Like family!
Solan : Then take me with you, please?
[pause]
Solan : Don't leave me!
Xena : [starts crying] When all this is over, you be packed and ready to go. We've got a lot to talk about. We might as well do it on the road...
[she leaves Kaleipus' hut]
