Who listens to advice?
Hi this is the sequel to 'Giant's Advice' I hope you like it please read and review. And please give any views or ideas you have. :)
Robin and Marian had been married a month now. But nothing much had changed in the camp. Will and Djaq kept going for honey, which no one seemed to understand why. Robin and Marian had their fights, as usual, but they made up just the same. Allan was as cheeky as ever, he was chatting up one of the castle maids, but soon changed his mind when he received a hard slap to the face. Causing an uproar from the rest of the gang. John went and visited his son frequently. And Much, well Much was Much.
Marian was down at the lake with Djaq bathing. The boys were back in the camp, and one thing was for sure they weren't doing any cleaning or cooking.
'Djaq' Marian said into the silence making the other woman turn around to face her.
'I am nervous' Marian stated looking shy. Djaq frowned.
'Of what?' She asked puzzled and a little shocked. Marian had never been shy, or well she never appeared to be.
'About Robin.' Marian blushed. She never had her mother around to talk to these things about. And she was sure that is she asked her father about them, then she would have sent him to an early grave.
'Robin? Why Robin?' Djaq asked even more confused by the situation.
'Well. We are married now, but we have never...consummated the marriage. And I do not know what to expect.' Marian finished and turned away embarrassed.
'Ahh' Djaq said as she realised what Marian was getting at. 'Well to be truthful Marian. I do not know either.' Djaq stated. Marian turned around quickly and held her hand s up.
'No no. I was not implying that you would. I just thought that maybe you would no more on the situation than me.' Marian stated.
'Sorry. It was not proper to speak of such things outside marriage in my country. Not even to your own mother.' Djaq said. Marian nodded and continued to bathe.
'But do not worry.' Djaq said placing a hand on Marian's shoulder causing her to turn around and look at the young Saracen. 'Robin would never pressure you into something. I am sure he would be able to tell you about it more than me.' Djaq said then continued bathing.
Marian was shocked by Djaq's last statement. Would Robin know. Has he already lay with other girls. Marian frowned and continued bathing.
As soon as the girls were dried they headed back to camp. They entered to find the boys sitting around the fire. Robin was standing behind Much, with his arms folded. He looked up when he saw the girls enter the camp.
Marian walked in and saw Robin standing. She blushed at the conversation she had with Djaq. Robin noticed this and frowned wondering what was going on. Marian walked over to their makeshift bed. She sat down and began thinking on what Djaq had said about Robin already being experienced. He had been in the Holy Land for 5 years. Perhaps he had been with women there. It hurt Marian to think that Robin had been with other women, that other women had had him in a way that she was yet to experience. It also made her feel inferior and that she wasn't good enough for him. Her thoughts were interrupted when someone came and lay down next to her on the bed.
'Everything all right?' She heard Robin whisper in her ear, as he wrapped his arms around her.
She nodded her head, and turned to look at him. 'Everything's fine' She said smiling. Robin smiled back and bent down to kiss her. She reached up and kissed him back. Robin winked to her and walked back over to the others. Marian turned her back to them and a tear ran down her cheek.
