"I need to talk to my spy." Robin said quietly, having dismissed the bar maid.
"What was that with Will? You banished Will." Allan asked, genuinely concerned.
"It was an act! Only she knew who was guilty. And I knew the spy would want to come here before me to cover his tracks. For all I knew it could have been Will standing there." Robin leant on the table. "But it's not... is it? It's you." "Robin, it was over. You ask her. I made a decision." He looked at the door she had left through.
"Then whats this?" Robin asked glancing at the purse.
"No." Allan looked around. "I was giving it back."
"So you'd betray me, you'd betray yourself, you'd betray your King, for what? For a few silver coins. What have you told Gisborne, Allan?" Allan hesitated for a second.
"I... Nothing, really."
"Does he know about the camp?"
"No!" He said earnestly
"No? Does he know about Marian?"
"No." Allan said.
"More lies?" Robins eyes narrowed.
"No! This was the last time, I promise... and I was wrong. But he captured me, Robin, tortured me. I had no choice-"
"Everything is a choice! Everything we do!" Robin shouted at him.
"Thats easy for you to say, though, isn't it? Eh? You get the glory, you get the girl, everyone loves you. Then when the King comes back you'll have lands, property, a wife... everything! And what will I have? I have a sister to protect now Robin. I have to look out for her. She's unmarried, the sister of an outlaw, with a previous marriage behind her where her husband died suspiciously. She won't marry a man easily now Robin, you have to know that, huh." Robin went to speak but was cut off by Allan. "Don't you give me the whole 'Marian is older than her and can still marry' she's a noble. She has you and Guy falling at her feet. Arabella's not a noble. She's an outlaw! What do you think's going to happen, a man is just going to fall out of the sky for her willing to marry her. No. IT. DOESN'T HAPPEN." Allan stopped for breath. Robin was looking at him in a new light, still angry and unforgiving for the betrayal, but seeing what Allan was saying. "I know she doesn't need me that much. She's tough. She's got us. But I have to know that when all This" Allan looked at him "all this outlaw stuff is over, I can at least begin to provide for her. Begin to start again. You are always in the sun, Robin, and I'm always in the shade."
