This story does not have a plot as such, I just wanted to write some Robin and Marian moments and I'm sort of going with the flow.

I didn't really plan to have many Sheriff Plots in the story but I thought without them, the story won't go anywhere. So anyway I'm keeping it light and fluffy (yay) with a few nasty sheriff moments but not over the top and dramatic. Let's just say there's no doubting the fact that this will be a happy ending. I love a happy ending.

Anyway enough rambling, next part…

Part 4

"Gisborne!" The Sheriff bellowed down the corridor, pushing past the guards, "And where have you been?"

"I'm sorry My Lord, I've just…" he was abruptly cut off by the sheriff,

"La de da, I don't want to hear it, right these are the new keys, you are in charge of them, got it? Good. A simple room Gisborne with a complicated lock." A disturbing chuckle left his mouth. "What outlaw is going to want to break into such a simple servant room hmm? This will be where the taxes will be held. I want no guards on the doors, that will look too inviting. Don't mess up Gisborne!" And with that the Sheriff wondered off.

Allan quickly slid out behind the pillar and headed in the direction of Marian's room.

"So how was Marian?" Will tried to hide the smirk that was beginning to appear on his face, he was informed of how Little John and Much found them together, Much came back to the camp in such a fluster. Robin grinned, "Fine… beautiful and…" He suddenly realised he had drifted off and with a quick manly clear of the throat the leader of the gang started to tuck into his dinner.

Djaq placed her bowl onto the camp floor and looked up at Robin, "Does she have any information from the castle?"

Robin pulled from his daydream yet again replied, "Nothing as such, everything is strangely quiet. But she did say that the Sheriff was having some locks changed in castle, and such a simple task usually means something bigger than it seems. We will have to make a special trip into the castle to see what we can find out, unless Marian gets there first." The camp went quiet, usually there would be an interruption and an inappropriate comment from the practical joker of the group, but sadly thought Djaq, that joker was no longer here.

Allan checked to see if anybody was looking as he dashed to Marian's room, he knew that this information could wait but he felt like he needed to tell the Lady straight away. Maybe if he did this then there may be a glimmer of hope of returning to the camp… maybe.

Allan wasted no time in lingering outside the Lady's chamber and barged in. Marian, startled by this intrusion quickly jumped from her chair, "Allan what do you think you are doing? You could knock! It's a good thing that I was not changing in here isn't it?!" Allan looked down at his feet, trying to get the image of Marian undressed out of his head. He cleared his throat, remembering why he had come here in such a rush. "I'm sorry Milady, its just I have something to tell you."

Allan informed her of the new location of the taxes and the new problematic lock. Marian sighed, 'finally some information!' she thought, "Thank you Allan, I know that Robin will appreciate this."

Allan still looked like he wanted to say something but Marian seemed to know what he was thinking, "And yes Allan, I will tell him that it was you that told me this." Marian smiled thoughtfully, "You know Allan if you want to return to the camp, you are going to have to build up the trust that you took away when you betrayed them. And the fact that you are helping me is definitely getting you one step closer, thank you."

Marian leaned forward and kissed Allan on the cheek. "Thanks Milady, I really am grateful." Allan then left the Lady's chamber and went in search for Gizzy; no doubt he would have a horrible task lined up for him.
