the stories they tell, the truth they twist

by chipmunki

Will Scarlett was a theif and a fighter and the bastard child and he had been here years before Robin started playing soldier. So why was Robin the one spoken well about? Will's thoughts on Robins apperance in his life, and Robin in general.

They called him brave, handsome – a knight in shining armour. A Hero. Calling forth the free men to fight for their homes. (What home?)

If you truly believe in your hearts that you are free then I say we can win.

But what does that mean? One strong heart cannot fight against a sword made from the best metal, and our arrows will never compete. This Robin of the Hood is used to fighting wars, and losing them and even winning them occasionally, but he is still just a spoilt little rich boy straight from the manor. He still refuses to give up that gold. (What gold for poor little William?)

A charmer

A woman of your beauty does not need such trinkets.

He is just a rich boy with a silver tongue to match his cross. He was beloved by all the poor and hated by all the rich, he was a hero and a villain and he didn't care as long as he got his revenge and had a little fun alongside it. (Fun was for rich children.)

But Robin of Locksley was still just a poor little rich boy trying to be a warrior fighting in the Holy Land.

No brother of his.
