The foreign prince smiled at Marian, finding her flirtations endearing. “I am…still learning your language and courtship traditions,” Vasiliy explained, struggling with his English at first. “I do believe we have not yet introduced ourselves though,” he pointed out, bowing to her. “I am Vasiliy, of Novgorod. May I have the honor of knowing your name?” he inquired not including his title as he did not know how relevant it was to the woman. 

   It wasn’t often Marian was so bold with words, but today happened to be an exception. A nod, a gentle smile came from the lady. The woman curtsied slightly, her gaze lifting to meet his. “I’m Marian, of Knighton.” She also didn’t include her title, but it wasn’t one that she enjoyed throwing out everywhere either. “It’s wonderful to meet you Vasiliy.” The woman tried not to speak with more complicated words, she didn’t want to make it too difficult for the man to understand her.

The feisty women of Robin Hood: [Lady Marian]

“I don’t care about you, I care about my father. Are you really as naive as you seem? You think you can pick fights with these people and get away with it? You think you can slight them in public? You are an utter fool.”

Thank you. You saved my life.

He rocks on his heels slightly as Marian’s hand comes to his shoulder, LEANING INTO her touch with a soft sigh on his lips.  His own hand rose to curl around her fingers, NODDING along to her words that he knows were said, in part, to reassure him.  He couldn’t guess the actions of the king anymore than he could have controlled them when he was acting as his captain of his guard.

But they had to keep fighting like he was returning.  Because then they would run out of HOPE.

“ Well if you ask the Sheriff and his men there are HUNDREDS of us. ”     And there’s the hint of a grin around his lips,   showing a GLIMMER of the confident man he normally was.   Another slow nod and he’s not as low as he was, some consideration going on behind the GREEN GAZE.    “  so steal more of his money, is your advice to me?”

   Her hand carefully turned to take his, trying to be comforting more than anything else. Blue hues looked to meet the outlaw’s after she had finished speaking -- mostly to try to guess what he thought about her words. She hardly ever knew what he thought, Marian found him so difficult to read at times.

   “ There are HUNDREDS of you, and I think he’s partly scared of how many people believe in you. ” Marian relaxed a little with his expression changing. “ ... I suppose? Though, there are more ways to get to him than take his MONEY away. ” There had to be, at least.

“Most do,” Francois stated, looking at Marian, “and it must stay that way.” The Frenchman was in England due to his mother sending him off to study and serve in the Crusades. “Both our King and Prince John believe I am dead, as our prince believes he buried me,” Francois scoffed, “it takes more than unmixed poison to kill me.” He did not have immunity, he simply was lucky that John’s servant had not properly prepared the poison. 

“Are you still in contact with Robin?” he inquired, needing a way to get a letter to the man.

   A single nod was her answer, but she could not deny that she was in shock. Everyone knew he was dead -- yet here Francois was, standing before her. “Apparently. How did you get here without anyone saying anything?” She was curious to say the least, thin brows furrowing together.

   “Oh --” Why did everyone always want Robin? “Of course, though, why do you need him?”

"I'm looking for Robin, haven't seen him have you? Managed to grab some money from John when he wasn't looking"

   “Have you tried the forest? He can be rather difficult to find -- unless he wants you to find him.”

Oh, everything's a choice.                                 Everything we do.                                                       Grow up.

His bravado, his confidence, it’s mostly for show.   an ACT to make everyone else feel confident in him, to give them HOPE.    A good leader does not show himself as hesitant or unsure, he REASSURES and SUPPORTS yet sometimes Robin’s confidence takes a knock and he cannot stop himself from remembering everyone he had failed to save, everyone who had been hurt because of his rash and overly confident decision making.     Sometimes he feels just like a CHILD.

 Despite everything that has happened between them, it is Marian who is the only person he could go to like this.   His gang need to believe in him and the cause even when he doesn’t but Marian……well she has seen him at his WORST before.   and she would never lie to him.

“ at what cost.”       His mind flickered to Allan’s brother, to the people who lost their tongues in Locksley, to the people killed in his name by the Sheriff’s spies.    “ To what end,  Richard shows no sign of leaving Acre anytime soon and the Black Knights……    There is six of us in the forest and we are fighting uphill, the Sheriff will kill us and anyone around us given the chance and we cannot touch him. ”

   She knows that no one can be STRONG, can be so BRAVE all the time -- not even Robin Hood. A man so often spoke about in all of Nottinghamshire; but he wasn’t everything people said he was. Robin was so much more complicated than people believed, or so Marian thought.

   The maiden FROWNED, a slightly shaky hand reaching out for his shoulder. “You know the cost is great, it always has been. The King will return to his people.” Although, at this point, Marian was UNSURE that it was true.

   “There may be six of you, but you could have almost every person in the towns, the villages at your side. The Sheriff may seem UNTOUCHABLE, but there are ways to GET to him.”

“It’s not much, but it’s good to have an extra weapon. We never know what comes in our way“

   “A lot can come your way, especially during such times as these.”

“ come now Marian, i know that you are MORE THAN capable of looking after yourself.”     a grin, BOYISH, teasing and charming all rolled into one widens across rugged features.    “ MAYBE i just appreciate your company.”

   “ well, that is a RELIEF i must say. ” the maiden chuckled softly, her arms DELICATELY crossing over her chest. “ maybe? ” a brow raised at his response. “ i must say your company is ... REFRESHING. ”

   ( like for a starter )

“Here, I have an extra weapon.”

   Finally -- someone that was going to let her fight, instead of pushing her away to safety. Though, the maiden was always perfectly armed.   “I am quite alright, though -- I do appreciate the offer.”

[ofnightwatching-blog]

"Lady Marian?"

@hairxfsilver

   The maiden stopped in her tracks as she heard her name, turning to face the source of it.“Your Highness, is there something I can help you with?”
