Chapter 19

Holy land – beginning of august, 1191

Robin woke in a slightly more comfortable bed, he had been in bed for 2 weeks in and out of consciousness. An actual building. With an actual roof. He turned his head and saw his trusty servant and friend next to him, asleep. He smiled then as he lifted himself up, he groaned and fell back down on the bed. He suddenly remembered what that happened. He lifted his shirt to look at left side, it had fresh stitches. Much had woke after Robin had groaned. "Master you're awake." He sighed with relief.

"The king. He is safe?" Robin asked unconcerned with the gash on his side. Much nodded.

"He is alive and well thanks to you." Much said. Robin nodded. "Do you realise that you are lucky to be alive?"

"I'm aware, thank you Much." Robin said. "When can I leave?"

"Well that depends on what I say?" A heavily accented man said with a crusader at his side. The man walked to Robin's left side to check his wound. "How do you feel?"

"Like I have been sat still for too long." Robin said pushing himself from the bed wincing slightly.

"Can you stand?" Tha man asked. Robin shrugged his shoulders and stood up, Much helped him gain his balance. Once he let go Robin smiled and turned around.

"I can stand I can turn and I can walk. May I leave?" Robin said already grabbing his crusader tunic.

"You may leave." The man said walking away. Robin picked up his things and he and Much, left the house and headed back to the camp.

Locksley

Marian hadn't seen Gisborne recently, he had begun to take an interest him her, this she was sure she did not like. Since he hadn't been around she decided now was a good time to go to Locksley as Lady Marian not The Night-Watchman. She loved being him, but sometimes it was difficult always hiding in the shadows. She walked around Locksley like it was hers, she helped the sick with their homes, gave them medicine and delivered a small amount of food to every house. She watched the Physician leave the manor, looking somewhat on edge. She strolled across to the manor, doing a little jog halfway to get there quicker. Thornton was outside ensuring the washing was being down correctly. "Hello Thornton." she smiled as she appeared from behind a sheet.

"Lady Marian." He smiled opening his arms. Marian walked into them. "There is something about you and Robin that makes you able to appear from anywhere undetected." Thornton smiled.
"Well two of a kind hey." She laughed, it had taken 4 years but Marian had finally managed to make a joke about her and Robin.

"What can I help you with my lady?"

"I was wondering about Sir Guy. He has not been to Nottingham."

"He is unwell Marian."

"What is wrong?"
"The physician does not know. It is the usual though, fever, contagion. We are not allowed in. The master is being kept in isolation."

"I see." Something was not right. Marian could feel it, but whilst Gisborne was in disposed, that meant the castle was easier to enter and the villagers easier to visit. The Night-Watchman would certainly make the most out of this.

"Is there anything else you need Lady Marian,"

"No that is all Thornton." She smiled. "It has been wonderful to see you. I am so glad you are all well. I will come again." Thornton nodded and watched as the young woman jogged towards her horse which was at the bottom of the village. He only hoped he would see the day where he was living here alongside the rightful lord of Locksley, Master Robin.
