Dear Kippysaurus
Yep, this is indeed Robin! Luckily for Zoro, I'm not going to have him go too insane. And thanks for pointing out the errors again! And no problem for the shoutout I always enjoy responding to my reviewer's like this it makes writing all the more fun for me!

Perona's POV
Three days. Three whole days and he hadn't moved. He had just sat there not sleeping in the room. The woman he'd brought was breathing better now and the color had returned to her, but she was still very much unconscious.
As Persona carefully eased brother down her throat she glanced over at the ever watching Zoro, "You could help you know." He shook his head, "Ugh," she grunted. Bringing a half dead person into the castle and then forcing her to do all the work.
And the only information that he told her was that the woman's name was Robin and she was a devil fruit user.
Perona sucked on the inside of her cheek as the last of the broth slipped down Robin's throat.
Why was he doing that?
Not moving, just staring.
She was partially thankful for his lack of activity because he finally was letting his injuries heal. His face was less tight now the only sign she had that he wasn't in as much pain as before.
She twirled around and faced him throwing on her best pouty face, "Wellllll?"
He sat there not a single flicker of anything crossing his face.
"Ugh," she rolled her eyes, "I'm going back to work on my puppets, at least they're cute!" She stomped off. Her loud footsteps echoed loudly in the long and empty hallways.

Zoro's POV
For once he was glad to have Perona around. He was far too rough to be able to handle Robin in such a delicate state. But Perona she most definitely had the ability to be delicate and to help heal her. Him? All he could do was break.
And that was what he took pride in most of the time. In times like these a sour pit formed in his stomach where he wished he knew how to be delicate.
But he couldn't trust himself with Robin.
As he watched her sleep he flexed the muscle in his one arm back and forth.
His arm was better now. Zoro leaned back shifting a thought back and forth into his head. He had some weights in his room. It wouldn't take long to go and grab them, and then come back. After a few more minutes he decided to go and get them.
He got lost.
…
Hawkeye had been away for the last few days. He always left on his excursion for a few days and didn't return until later. Sometimes he'd be gone for weeks at other times just a few days. Perona and Zoro had grown used to his wayward habits. And during this small segment of time while Zoro was lost, was when Hawkeye Mihawk returned.
He pulled up to shore on his boat and walked ashore. His boots squishing in the wet ground.
….
A world of shadows slid back and forth through Robin's blinking eyes. Slowly the world came into focus. A dank and gloomy looking ceiling looked back at her. The pain and soreness hadn't hit her yet. SHe looked around the room taking in her surroundings. An old rickety nightstand, and two equally rickety chairs.
She sat up her hands on either side of her as she breathed.
How..how did I get here?
She closed her eyes and thought back. The memory of being tossed to and thou by the frozen waves unable to move-unable to breathe-simply at the ocean's mercy.
Robin shuddered. Her arms grasped at themselves.
Someone had to have pulled me from the shore and brought me here.
She rubbed her head trying to clear away the fuzziness that clogged up her mind. Robin put a hand up against the wall and pulled herself up. Her hand stayed there against the cold stones as her half stumbled out of the room.
It's cold
As she reached the doorway finally the soreness of her body hit her. Fingers grasped at the doorway and she panted. Indeed she had been very close to falling right onto the ground. With more of a struggle than before she lifted herself up and walked out into the hallway. Footsteps reached her ears and she straightened up. The footsteps stopped right behind her.
Slowly she turned and her breath stopped in her throat.
Piercing yellow eyes met hers.
The eyes of Hawkeye MiHawk.
The greatest swordsman alive.
His lips curled, "What are you doing in my house?"
Crap
