Right Hi again hope you enjoy I do not own Robin hood
Everyone was relaxing in camp. It was the odd time when they can more or less relaxed. Robin looked around camp. John was having a nap, Allan was showing off a card trick to Much who was trying to work out how Allan was doing it. Djaq was reading a book of English poetry. Will was whittling and James was sitting quietly.
While Allan and Much had a augment about the cards tricks Robin asked James a question "What did you father do?"
"He was a clobber" said James "The finest footwear ever"
Will lifted his head up "Was? You said he was alright"
"He is" said James "But he can't make boots no more, his eye sight is going, he with Lily at the moment"
"Who Lily?" asked Djaq from the book
"My sister" said James then he remember what might happen to her is he doesn't complete his task. But he couldn't lend his Will nor the others. Will would never forgive him for that...
Robin was in deep thought himself his mind was on the tool tax. Marian was right he shouldn't underestimate the sheriff. One thing the sheriff could do was come up with plans as much as Robin hate to admitted. But what could he get from arresting children? Robin couldn't see what the sheriff got from it. But what did Marian say? It effect families of trade... but why?
"Are you alright master?" asked Much voice bring Robin out of his thoughts "You look like your thinking about something?"
"I'm fine" lied Robin "What for supper?"
"Chicken" said Much. The outlaw laughed all thinking the same thing "It is chicken..."
"Will can I talk to you?" asked James Will looked up
"Yeh sure" Will got up "Been back soon"
"Watch got for guards" called Allan "And your traps, you got so many now it's almost impossible to go for a walk without ending up in one"
Will and James went off. "So what happen in Nottingham?" asked Robin
"James was asking what do we get out of all this" said Allan "And told Will not to go on about honour. Will went off and then he annoyed me so I went off" Allan paused "Did you know James got Will arrested once?" Robin knew but he wasn't going to say
"What happen?" asked Djaq. John (who now wake) and Much looked interested.
Allan looked at the outlaws "Well Will was fourteen, James was nineteen. James throw a stone at a guard. Will was whittling so didn't realised what was happening. James run and shouted to Will but it too late Will got arrested sent two days in the stocks"
"Didn't James say it was him?" asked Much
"Don't think so" said Allan "Anyway James moved by the time Will was releases"
John shook his head it was unfair for Will to be punished for something he didn't do. James was older he should of know better.
"And Will still trust him"? asked Much "If they been in the Holy Lands Will would of been killed"
Allan looked up at this. Why did Will still trust him? Will was lucky to only been sent to the stocks. Anything could of happen to him. The other had same thoughts in there head. Only Robin had a good idea why. Will and James were both arrest before... they were together in the castle... because of the tool tax...Robin wanted to tell the others but he knew little about it. Robin make his mind up he would talk to Will about it. Robin knew Will enough to know he doesn't lie.
Just then Marian come in "Robin you're in trouble"
Oh no what now? What new could Marian bring Robin? You have to read to find out
