Hello! So this is the first scene I imagined for this story... I hope you'll like it!

On a side note, I've been watching S1 and S2 again and in Lacey Rumple does a weird face at the mention of Robin Hood by the Sheriff of Nottingham + in heart of Darkness, he gives Snow Robin's bow to kill Regina. What if he was watching Regina when she was at the entrance of the tavern with Tinkerbell. After all, he wanted (and needed) Regina to lose all hope for love and that day she had expressly told him she wanted to stop her lessons with him. And killing the queen with her soulmate's weapon is exactly the kind of things the old Rumple would do. And he said himself that he was "an enemy of love". Okay I don't want to bother you longer with my theory but please tell me what you think and don't lose the OutlawQueen faith!

A few days had pasted and Elsa's magic was still raising questions. Henry and Elsa had decided the latter's lessons with Regina would be the best way to keep their mother busy and to make sure her broken heart didn't lead her to make bad choices again.

However, it was Elsa who could feel her own heart filling with anger day after day. It wasn't just anger, it was also sadness and most of all disappointment towards her father who had returned to Marian. He had given up on his rising feelings for the queen and, even if Elsa knew she was being irrational, she couldn't help but feel betrayed and abandoned.

That's why she had decided today was the day to have a serious discussion with the prince of thieves.

She told Regina she needed to get some of the things she had left at "her cabin". Regina had offered to take her in the woods, claiming it wasn't safe to go there by herself but Elsa had assured she didn't mind walking alone and actually enjoy the familiarity of the woods. At her words, sadness had appeared in Regina's eyes and her heart had tensed even more for her mother.

When Elsa arrived at the camp, she was immediately greeted by Robin who enquired about her lessons and asked if she was getting used to living in the town.

Elsa smiled, thinking to herself that it might be a way for Robin to ask about Regina's well-being.

Elsa noticed that, despite the fact that he was in his thirties, he looked extremely tired and somehow older than her own father in the future.

"I'm fine and discovering all the wonders of this world is quite pleasant I must say" she assured him. "And the lessons go off well. I still have a lot to learn before I can finally control my magic but Regina is an excellent teacher. And a good friend too, I am coming to really like her".

Robin bit his lower lip, suddenly embarrassed. "I can understand that".

The blonde stared at him, determined to hide her feelings for the moment. She had a mission and she had no intention to ruin it. Her whole family counted on her.

"Robin, I was wondering… I'd understand it if you don't want me close to the threes right now but … I've always wanted to take archery lessons and given your reputation… Oh no forget about it, I'm sure you don't have the time for this, with your wife back and all –"

"It's okay". Robin interrupted her, glancing at Marian who was near the fire camp, laughing with some of the merry men.

Elsa noticed he looked confused and couldn't help herself asking if he was alright and if he really didn't mind.

Robin's eyes went back to hers but there was still confusion and … sadness?

"Don't worry Elsa, I've got all the time you'll need. Are you ready to start?"

Elsa smiled from ear to ear at his response and they left the camp to find a place to practice.

After several shots, Elsa came to a conclusion: despite thinking it would be easy to pretend she was a complete crap at archery, actually doing it was another story.

When Robin had corrected her position and given her advices, she had shot her arrow in the center of her target.

"Wow, that wasn't something I expected" exclaimed Robin, astonished. "You're quite good at it. Excellent to be honest. Are you sure you never shot an arrow before ?"

Elsa chuckled and a sly grin appeared on her face, the kind of smiles only Locksley had the secrets of. "I've got that in my blood".

"I beg your pardon? You said-"

"Oh I mean, I never shot an arrow before but I've seen my father doing it. He's really good at it". Elsa hastened to add.

Robin smiled, dimples appearing on his face.

"Well, he must be if you acquired his skill just by looking at him".

Elsa stared at him and put her bow on the floor.

"Robin, may I ask you a question?"

"Of course Elsa, if-"

But Elsa didn't leave him time to finish his sentence and asked, on a sharper tone than she intended, her eyes turning to dark grey. "Why did you leave her?"

Robin didn't have to ask who Elsa was talking about. But he appeared visibly upset when he answered her.

"Elsa I'm sorry but I don't think this is any of your –"

"On the contrary, I think this is of anyone's concern when it comes to upsetting the former evil queen".

Robin's tone escalated, as if scolding her. "You might be living with her Elsa but apparently you haven't realized she changed. She's not the person she used to be and there is no way she's going to go back to being evil".

Elsa sneered but she didn't answered right away, unwilling to cause her mother any trouble and trying to control the bitterness building little by little in her chest.

"I do believe in Regina's redemption, believe me. I actually think she has more light than any of us. But you can't affirm she's not going to go back to her old habits, especially when you left her at the very moment she was starting to be really happy. You have no right to do so."

Robin opened his mouth to answer but he was a wise man, wiser than the young woman in front of him.

Finally he spoke gently.

"Is it as bad as you make it looked like?"

Elsa was so annoyed that she wanted to shake him until he would forget where he was.

She answered wryly. "No, I'm actually making it up just to bother you. Of course it is". She wanted to say she had never seen her like that but she held the words at the last moment. "Why did you have to leave her like that Robin? Regina doesn't speak to me but I know, I feel that there was something going on between us, something strong".

Robin looked at his wrist dreamily.

"Believe me when I say that every single day, my first thoughts are directed towards her. Please, don't make it seem like it was easy for me to do what I did. But I couldn't leave the woman I married on her own. And this has nothing to do with the fact the evil queen almost killed her, I swear. It was simply my duty to do the honorable thing".

At this moment, Elsa went wild.

"Honorable thing, excuse me?! You may pretend you're a thief with honor but letting the woman you have feeling for to join a woman you don't love anymore or at least not like you used to be, that's not being an honorable man, that's… that's cowardice!

Robin tried to respond to express his disproval towards Elsa's choice of words but she didn't let him speak.

"You're hurting the both of them and you don't even admit it! And it's clear your actions will have consequences you can't even foresee! Look at you; you look like you haven't slept for days! Think about Roland, do you think you're being a great example for him right now?! "

She knew she had gone too far mentioning her brother but she had been unable to retain the words and deep down, she felt that Roland wasn't the only Locksley child she was worried about.

"Oh no, Elsa, don't you dare –"

But Robin's words were only met by the distinctive magical smoke which had come to get on his nerves.
