The girls had been residents in the camp for no longer than a fortnight, the place looked completely different. Flowers stood in tall wooden vases, made by Will, and hangings had now been raised allowing the girls to receive some privacy. The thick, woven blankets each outlaw now lay under, had been washed by Jess and Jeri, then laid in the sun, by Much to dry. Each outlaw had vowed they loathed the changes, but each secretly enjoyed something the girls had brought to the camp, whether it be the light, easy conversation or the way that each outlaws attitude had changed. The worked had now been shared out, and with the help from the girls, the worked was completed by supper, which meant that by supper, all the outlaws were gathered around the fire, enjoying each others company.
On the fourteenth night of the girls stay, Much lay out a large array, both, outlaw and Ellie friendly.
Ellie had spent her first morning in the camp, helping Much to collect Mushrooms and vegetables from Clun, while telling him about her dietary needs.
Much passed around the wooden goblets, Will had carved, and filled each with the fizzy ale, Jess and Cariad had 'found' in Nottingham, that day.
"Well, its time for a toast, I think." Robin told the group, as he raised himself onto one of the fallen logs, spread around the camp." The girls have been here less than a month, and it seems like they've been with us forever. We all want you to know that we would love it if you were to stay, and to show our appreciation for all you've done and are going to do, we have a gift for each of you.
"Will, if you would." Will walked forward carrying a bowl, holding several, small, wooden pendants. He handed one to each girl, and they thanked him, gratefully.
"Wicked, I love it!" Jess held it to her neck, examining the craftsmanship.
"Glad, you do, they took forever!" Will looked smugly down at his work. Ellie was struggling to attach her necklace, her arms flailing around at her attempt to secure it around her neck. Worn hand removed hers from the attachment, she felt the hands move quickly, yet delicately behind her.
Will grazed, Ellies neck with the back of his hand, and she turned abruptly.
"Thank you,"
"No worries," He removed his hands from her neck and placed one gently on her shoulder. He gently steered her away from the others, taking several large gulps of ale before placing his goblet upon a log.
He steered the Girl into a clearing away from the camp, and he began pacing it silently, while Ellie stood dumbstruck, playing with the braids in her hair.
"Your not like the others, you know that don't you?"
Ellie looked up, startled to how close, Will was now stood to her. She focused on his eyes, their pale blue shade, reflecting light from the camps fire.
"Your something very special." Will took hold of her hand, allowing her to feel the callous skin that covered his palm and fingertips. With his other hand, he, gently held her face.
"Kiss me." Ellie now removed her watch from his eyes so that she could see his reaction, to her request. He was looking straight into her eyes, as if searching into her inner depth, looking for a reason to the situation, though he could not find any, other fate.
He took her face in his hands and placed his lips upon her nose. Unlike his hands, his lips were soft and gentle. Ellie reached up and placed her lips upon his mouth. He tasted of the sweet ale, he had so desperately swallowed, in a hope for confidence. He kissed her back passionately, until he realised what he was doing and pulled away, trying to catch his breath. He looked down at the girl, who was looking at him gleefully. He reached down and picked her up, placing kisses on her mouth, nose, neck. He thrust his tongue into her mouth, and their tongues began to dance.

Ellie awoke with a start, laying on her make-shift bed she felt her mouth. The night before could not have been more perfect, Will had held her and kissed her until he was breathless, they had walked, clumsily back to camp, hand in hand, though they dropped their embrace when they could clearly see two shadows in the camp. They had found Robin crying silently, while Kat cradled him. Ellie and Will had seperated and slept peacefully, dreaming of each other.
