@meiquene asked: i know what you’d do, given half the chance.

ㅤRobin had his hands to his face as he listened to her speak, grief and anger churning something awful in his gut. His fingers were pressed over his eyes, and perhaps if he pressed hard enough, he would not want to shout at her anymore. I know what you'd do, given half the chance. Fingers slipped, then, to the bridge of his nose, his eyes still shut tight as he bit back the urge to say something unkind.

ㅤA week ago, he had almost left Guy to die in the Derwent. It would have been the easiest thing in the world. A far sight easier than dragging him up onto the riverbank and rattling him back to consciousness. All for Marian's sake. And what good had that done, in the end? Marian was pleased, but Guy had learned nothing of mercy or decency. The ever-loyal hound had gone straight back to his old ways, desperate to please his master's cruelty. And now Marian sought to blame him for his anger.

ㅤ“ God above, ” he sighed and dropped his hands, finally turned from her window to look at her. Only Marian could inspire such love and hate in him, in equal measure. Tonight, he was sick of her. Of her mercy. Of the promise he did not wish to keep. “ I had me chance, lady. I could've drowned t' bastard -- should've and all! But I held me hand, which he never has and never will. And now look. ”

ㅤHe crossed over the room to her, half so that he might keep his voice low and half so she might see the clear anger on his face. “ There is nowt in that man's heart but cruelty. And I am tired of playing these silly games, saving a devil who cannot be saved. I reckoned thi to be smarter than this, Lady Marian. I reckoned it a more selfless heart that beat in tha breast. ”

@meiquene said: a man in your position should not listen to gossip.

" sink me! a dreadful thought, that! " he exclaimed, fixing her with a disbelieving look through his elegant lorgnette. " not listen to gossip? perhaps your ladyship would then be so good as to tell me what a man in my position ought to do instead? " but there was a gleam of mischief behind his sleepy gaze and a tease lurking beneath the outrage in his words. he let out a dismissive tsk and waved the idea aside with one long-fingered hand. " egad! that would spoil all the fun - to be in the precise position to hear all the best gossip, only to be obliged to ignore it? " he suspected, of course, that the gossip she wished him to avoid was that which came with her own name attached. " 'tis a dreary existence indeed that you'd wish upon a poor chap like myself... "

ㅤ“ I've not seen thi here before, ” he smiled, half-squinting into the sun as he stood with his hands on his hips. Robin was certain he would remember a face like hers. Even if he hadn't been in the area for all that long at all. He carried on walking beside her, back facing the direction they were strolling through the meadow, with that damn grin on his face. “ Is tha from t' village? ”

@meiquene asked: “Close your eyes. Just close them.”

ㅤRobin offered a rare mistrustful look, though it was not entirely serious. Narrowed eyes and furrowed brows never seemed to last -- at least, not for long -- around Marian these days. He did as she asked, chin held high as if he were trying very hard to make a point of playing along with her.

ㅤ“ If you'll be running away, thinking you're reet clever, I shall be chasing thi. Keep that in mind, now, Lady May. ” He was smiling. Easy as owt. “ 'Mon then. Don't keep us waiting. ”

ㅤ“ Here! Here! ” The words were hissed out between the bars he was currently trapped behind. Robin had rushed to them at the very first sound of her voice, while David was only just now pulling himself to his feet and moving toward the bars. Robin felt his hand upon his shoulder, gripping tight, as he pushed his own through the gap in the bars to try and catch Marian's attention.

ㅤHow easy, how unbothered he looked when she came into view. And of course, that flirtatious grin flickered across his face. As if he were not to die in the morning. “ My, fancy meeting thee in a place such as this. ”

ㅤ“ I want tha word, ” was spoken gently, as Robin squared his shoulders and bent his head, for once, to look Marian in the eye as he spoke. “ Tha'll follow us orders, as I give 'em. Swear it, lady. ”

ㅤHe made in through her window quiet as a cat, well versed by now in the art of not alerting Bess -- or any other soul that might be around -- to his presence in Marian's quarters. Robin had hardly promised anybody back at camp that he would take care not to be noticed this evening, but for all the great acts he put on, he wasn't that much of an idiot. Though, he certainly wore an idiot's grin as his eyes settled on Marian, a look upon her face as if she'd known he was going to be here. “ My love... ” were the only soft words to leave his lips as he crossed to embrace her.

@meiquene.

ㅤ“ Apologies, lady. ” He was grinning in that way that suggested he was not sorry in the slightest -- which was, of course, completely true. Robin hopped up to the window of her carriage with all the ease of a man who knew her guard would not touch him, for there was never a soul safer in Robin's presence than Marian. “ I've come to rob thi. Tha's in outlaw country, dun't tha know? ”
