Tattoos (For Hope)

[call_me_snake]

Snake got up feeling rather happy. He'd spent the night before working out his tattoo design. It was perfect or as perfect as it was ever going to get. He'd had breakfast and was was waiting for Hope to come down to see if she was interested in coming along.

Yeah but they'll never die because of what you are. People live for hope... but too many have already died for me because of who I am.

"You think that makes it any easier? It doesn't. I know I am supposed to outlive you, but Billy, Cellena...everyone else I will ever meet. It makes you not want to meet people."

Yes it should. Snake stared out at the road. I knew when I brought Xena home, and you, the rest of the kids, I knew I was bringing you to a place that might kill you. Hell they've almost killed Xena a few times now. At least you'll never be afraid to take your child to the park because someone will shoot them or be afraid to go and watch them at a play in school because they'll get killed. There are things just as bad if not worse in this world.
