What do you do to relax? (SOM#2)

PROMPT: What do you do to relax?

"When Xena and I are not running around solving problems and doing heroic deeds, I suppose I like to sit down and write. Chronicling our feats and defeats, understanding the lesson in it all, it always helps me relax. Something about having that scroll in my lap, smelling that particular scent of brand-new parchment and having that quill gripped in my hand is cathartic, no matter the backdrop. Be it the beautiful mountains in the distance, or near the always soothing waterfalls, the quiet ponds or the desert with its strange beauty.

Besides that, there's nothing a nice bath can't help. Anything and everything leaves my body the moment I touch water and swim. Having a dip with Xena is particularly fun, there really is never a dull moment with her. Whether we start to playfully fight or massage each other after a long day, swimming with Xena never fails to relax me."
