He held her at a loss as to what to do. She had risked her life to save him and he couldn't help her. A hand on his shoulder caused him to jump.
"Bring her to my camp. Tuck will see to her." Robin hurried off. Confused but unwilling to risk her more he followed.
Guy did not even notice where Robin was taking him he just followed vowing to forget everything except the kindness. It was something Meg and Marian had seen in him, and it was something he was going to cultivate this time.
He placed Meg on the mat where Hood showed him and allowed Tuck to take over.
"what are we going to do with him?" Kate asked quietly beside Robin.
"Nothing."
"We can't just do nothing." She said.
"Yes we can."
"Hood." Guy crossed the fire and looked down at the outlaw. "Thank you. I know you hate me. But thank you for not allowing that hate to kill her. If I can do anything to repay you I will."
Robin watched him for a minute and nodded. They sat around and waited until Tuck came over cleaning his hands. "I got the bleeding to stop. Infection seems to have taken a hold of her already. If she can fight that she'll be fine. I suggest we let her rest for awhile and not move her unless absolutely necessary."
"Can I?" Guy asked trying to make himself less noticeable as the camp felt stifling.
"Of Course. Much will let you know what to do." He watched Guy disappear. "Well?"
"Well what?"
"Well what are we going to do?"
"What we always have." Robin stood up. "I may hate him for what he's done. But he is safe here with her for now. Who knows maybe it'll help with his sister since he hates her so much."
Much stood up a little nervous of Guy still. "Tuck said to keep the cold compresses on her to bring down the fever. Don't let her get excited or talk to much either."
Guy nodded and sat down. Much started to back away. "Thank you." Guy said quietly. "I am sorry I don't know your name to apologize well enough to all of you for everything. But thank you none the less."
Much stood there for a minute stunned. "You're welcome Sir."
"No it is just Guy."
"You're welcome Guy. Marian would be happy to see you now." He said quietly amazed at the broken man before him noticing new things about the man who had terrorized them for so long.
"What that I'm finally broken by Robin. That I've learned she'd never or any woman would be able to love me? Why would she be proud of me?'
"Because you've learned your lesson." Much said taking a seat on the ground behind Guy as he replaced the compresses on Meg. "Robin may hate you. I might dislike you for what you've done. But there are things that I hate he's done and the other way around. We all make mistakes but there are reasons for them. Maybe it was for this. So that the two of you could work together."
"He would never work with me. And no one would be believe I've changed or am at least trying to."
"She did." Robin came out of the camp shadows. "Marian believed you could if you were only allowed. The first timed I saw it was when you called Prince John the pretender. I think Marian has finally gotten to the both of us."
"I hated myself for what I did."
"So did I. I hated you and myself." Robin said quietly. "I think at times I still do but not as much." He looked over at Kate. "Perhaps we can learn to work and live together." Guy looked up at him and waited. "Not until Meg and you are both back on your feet. But if you are willing so am I. We me be doing it for different reasons but."
"If it is for the betterment for England and the people I will do it." Guy said quietly.'
Robin nodded. "You'll stay here. One of us will be here at all times with you in case you need to move fast. At least until you know you're way around here." Guy nodded and accepted the tag Robin handed towards him. "We both have been given second chances. Don't blow yours."
Guy slipped on the tag showing him as one of Robins. "As long as we both don't."
