Snake Plissken

Snake had been unable to sleep and spent the night polishing all of his leather, cleaning his guns and any other mindless task he could find to do. He was going to meet his in-laws anyway so might as well try to make a good impression. Finally morning had rolled around and Snake found himself standing on the beach impatiently. The sun was just rising over the water when they arrived at the boardwalk. It seemed time had stopped or it was possible he was just staring at his watch too much. He wasn’t exactly nervous but the anticipation was too much. He should’ve had a drink or two before leaving despite his desire to be sober when Xena’s family arrived

Looking over at Xena he frowned and grumbled. He hated waiting. Snake lit another cigarette and leaned against a pillar trying to calm his nerves. He just wanted to get this over with. Meeting so many new people at once was not something he was exactly comfortable with and he still didn't know Xena's bride price. Once more he found himself reflecting on where he might find a herd of cattle or some other item a provincial Greek might ask for. It was at least a distraction from the waiting.
