Robin and Kate laughed and walked through Sherwood Forest. Often sitting down on a log and chatting.
"So Allan and Much are only brothers to you then?" Robin asked with his eyebrow quirked.
"Yes. I hope the others don't mind about you and me. That is if we do tell them." She added quietly. Robin placed a hand under her chin and grazed his lips with hers. They pressed their foreheads together and sighed.
"We can tell them. When we feel like we want to. And not because we have to." Robin said in a whisper. Kate smiled. She knew Robin wouldn't push her until she felt comfortable. They decided to walk on a bit more just in case the others were getting worried.

In Nottingham, Sheriff Isabella was pacing in her room thinking of a plan to break the two new 'Love-birds' up. She wasn't sure how. She wasn't sure when. But she knew they couldn't be together. In Isabella's slowly deteriorating mind she thought her and Robin were meant to be. Not Kate. Not the girl who stole Robin. This had to be stopped.

Back closer to the camp Kate and Robin stopped and looked at each other. They both nodded. Letting go of each other's hands, they walked into camp.
"And where have you two been?" John asked with a sly smile on his face. Kate was the first to speak.
"Robin took me to see my mother and Maggie. I hadn't seen them in weeks and Robin suggested it and I automatically agreed. I miss them a lot sometimes. Although, you guys are turning into the family I'm with now." She stated. Tuck told Robin is was very grateful of him to suggest such a loving idea. Robin responded with a simple "she may be an outlaw, but she still has a family that loves her" Tuck nodded and got back to sharpening one of the swords with Allan. Much was in the kitchen area preparing dinner. Kate walked over to her bed and Robin followed.
"Good decoy. But young lady, remember this can't be secret forever" he whispered.
"I know. But if we give clues here and there, it makes them use their brains" they both laughed at Kate's end comment.

Once dinner was ready the gang sat around the small fire in the middle of the camp. Kate was last to come to the circle and looked at the options she had on where to sit. With Much, with Allan, or with Robin. She knew who she was going to choose. She gently placed herself next to Robin and they started their own conversation. Because their dinner was rabbit stew (like it normally is) Robin had managed to get a big blob of sauce on the corner of his mouth. Kate reached up and wiped it up with her finger. And without the others noticing she licked her finger and they got back to their little conversation.

Back in Nottingham Isabella had finished writing a letter.
"And make sure you do it properly. Kindest regards Sheriff Isabella of Nottingham" she put the wax stamp on the envelope and laughed quietly to herself. "Well Kate looks like someone's going to meet a friend of mine"
