The next few days flew by in quick succession, during which there was only a single raid, to the outlaws disappointment. Will was tired to the point of exhaustion. He had taken to staying up at night, only catching sleep in the few hours after dawn that everyone else was still sleeping. The dreams about Elena never came in the daylight.
"All right." Robin said with a quick grin around. "Everybody knows where they're supposed to be?"
The was a rumble of ascent, before Cadiana shook her head. "Not me."
"Right." Robin said, handing her a bow, and a quiver of arrows. "Just stay with me."
Everybody began moving towards there position's, when Cadianatapped Robin on the shoulder. "Robin? I really think I'd be better off with my blades. I really do."
"Why?" Robin asked, not understanding.
Will laughed, a low sound. "You still can't 'it the broad side of a castle can you Cady?"
She cast him a nasty look. "Shut up Will." She turned to Robin who was chuckling. "I can't 'it a damn thing with these." She said apologetically. "As I said, I'd better off with my knives."
"All right then." Robin agreed, still smiling. "Go with Will then."
"C'mon Cady." Will said, grinning at her. He nudged her with his elbow as they quietly moved into position. "It'll be fun." He spread his gloved hands in the air in front of him. "Cady's first raid. Makes for a good title." God it was easy to bother her.
When she failed to laugh, he nudged her again, settling against a tree beside her. "What's the matter?"
"'mm?" Cadiana said, glancing at him as if she had only noticed his prescence right then. "Oh. Nothing." She gave him a bit of a smile, and Will wasn't convinced, but was forced to drop it, as the carriage pulled into view.
Once it had passed them, Will and Cadiana sauntered out onto the road behind it, as the other outlaws took their places.
"Hey friends." Robin called lightly. "If you'll give us all your valuables, we'll let you be on your way."
As tired as he was, Will knew he had to keep his guard up. People were tricky bastards. One of the woman on the carriage started sobbing, and he sighed. He hated when they did that.
"Shut up, and quit your cryin'." Cadiana told the woman, while taking the things she offered. While she was doing so, a man jumped off the cart, and punched her in the face. Cadiana staggered backwards a step. Will made a low sound in the back of his throat, and the woman he was relieving of her thing looked at him fearfully.
Cadiana had a hand to her face, turned slightly away from the man. He looked as if he couldn't believe he had just hit a woman. Cadiana dropped her hand. "Well, there now." She said, eyes narrowed, an odd smile on her face. "You've left a mark with your weapon." Quick as lightening, Cadiana made a long thin cut on the man's cheek, and he howled in pain, clapping a hand to his cheek. "And I've left one with mine."
"Cady." Will said, having moved behind her. He grasped her arm, and pushed her lightly away from the man. "Leave 'im be."
"Yeah all right." She said, angrily flipping her hair. Will smiled as she walked away. Angry was better than how distracted she had been earlier.
