Oh god. The canon point might take some contemplating. I tend to avoid the later seasons of Xena, just because that's when, mythologically speaking, things got a bit weird. So probably earlier in Herc or Xena, most likely. I'm a liiiiiittle bit familiar, but I am absolutely down with filling myself in. XD OOH, yeah, she definitely sounds like she could play well off of him.

I can work with either setting, but I do sort of love fictional fantasty!ancient Greece, so I would absolutely be down for setting it there.
