something something robin is naturally a really really violent person

robin && loreon .

this was up there with one of his worst ever ideas . and he had bad ideas seemingly weekly . he had not seen his the lannister lord since hew as banished , not until the week before . when he had stood on the thatched roof and stopped thee men dead before they could reach fifteen paces of the lord he still served . even if @helbroth did not want his service .

but he did serve him .

as silent as the wind ,    he moved through the castle .     he knew the passageways , the guards , inside and out but his route in took him to the exterior walls soon enough .  scaling the stone and cliff until his feet landed silently on the balcony of his bed chambers .

( and it's impossible to not remember just how many times he had been in this room . and what had occurred between this walls . )

stealing himself , he is silent as he approached the sleeping lord . heart thudding in his chest is not entirely out of of fear as he knelt besides his sleeping form and finally made himself known with a hand clamped TIGHT over his mouth .       " i could never harm you , you must listen to me . "

green eyes bore into the gaze of the man he loved served . pleading with him as much as he words did . listen to me , hear me . everything i do is for you .     " you have an ironborn spy in your castle ,   hidden within your staff and servants , and they want what all ironborn wants. they want you dead ."

what would he do ?     his mind wanders to it sometimes , out of his control . what would the lion do if he found out where he spent his evenings .   truthfully robin did not need to wander . he would have his head on a spike before the seven . but , to feed the starving and defend those who could not defend themselves against nobles who were not as holy as loreon liked to believe . . . it was a risk he was willing to take .

" well you can explain , my lord for sure just . . . kindly . "    the world was not kind , the world was harsh and cold and the gods often forsook them all . he ignored the point about thievery . mostly he could take money from his own stores but sometimes , it was true , he was known to take retribution from lords who were cruel.          " we want them to remember you to be kind , noble , the gods' man and good . scared children need someone to feel safe with and if they feel that with you they will follow you for the rest of their lives ."

what's loyalty without a little danger ? only THEN one's loyalty could truly be put to test. and robin hadn't failed a single one .. yet.

the lesser lord's following words brought a smile to the lion's usually stoic face. one that was so genuine && full of gratitude that for a moment he looked as young as he actually was, something he often tried to make his subjects forget.

he listened intently to the advice, nodding slowly. bearing food && perhaps some other small gifts as tokens of his goodwill might help them see him in a different light than what might have been planted in their heads about the evil lord who took their parents away from them. though he was unsure about not educating them on the said parents' sins.

"would it not help to simply explain the real reason why they have to live amongst strangers for a while ? i don't wish them to believe i have done this out of cruelty, besides, everyone needs to know that thivery is a crime we do not take lightly .. we cannot have them following in their parents' footsteps, can we ?"

her touch calms him , it always has done and he would wager with the heavens that it always would . on his arm , pressed over his side , pulling back more into the shadows before he could do something more rash or get them both seen . and he goes with her willingly . wherever she pulled him , wherever she wanted him ,       he would leave england behind for her and he is reminded by that whenever she moves him with such ease .

" no . "     the word slips out , firm and sudden and decisive .     ( oh he knows she hates it when he does that , makes decisions for both of them , take the choice away from her but he could not help it )     he needs to focus to get in and out and he just knows that seeing her distracting gisborne will rip all of his attention onto her . " we'll get it on the road , the forest is our ground . "

he knew that it would never be the last time . maybe it would be the last time that she helped him steal from the sheriff     ( one day he hopes that there would be a last time )         but he would always need her help , that much he knows .     the outlaw finally pulled his gaze away from the corner of building and the reward that stood so close and yet so out of his grasp.     looking instead to marian , his head dropping , chin closer to his chest . his fist around his bow was tight WHITE KNUCKLED , as he fought back the frustration that ripped through him.

everything was always so much harder to keep under control whenever she was around . it was his only complaint . with the gang , with the sheriff or gisborne or guards or just people of the shire , he was always in control . the LEADER , the HERO , the IDEA that they needed him to be . and then there was marian , who always left him feeling so raw he barely knew up from down .

robin shook his head.      " he was meant to be aross the shire , what changed ?"

cleverness was not his strong point . that's their difference ; he's rash , he's emotional , he's a reactionary . marian is something else . logical . detached . level headed . their ideologies to fight injustice were opposite sides of the same coin .

the sheriff had made it clear to the castle where the taxes were being stored . information that would leave her lips in the forest . the night watchman had a contingency . a logical plan . but of course , robin must have the glory . their eyes locked . he had to come despite her telling him not to . but he loves the glory more than anything .

his touch feels familiar yet new at the time . out of sight , hidden in the shadows . it's where they spend most of their time together now . somehow she even wonders if she's forgotten what his face is like . hidden by a hood . she could feel the rhythm of his heart , feeling the thump against his bones . he's robin hood . was he really this anxious ? of course .

his vocals are icy , almost matching her tone . he's flustered . angry . annoyed . frustrated . she huffs . rolling her eyes . her body was a battle ground of emotion , conflicted . she wanted to help him , she always wants to help him . but it has to be right way . azure orbs watch as his annoyance builds , studying him for a moment . the good people of locksley needed his help . she could not refuse . despite the risk .

she reaches for him , pulling him deeper into the shadows . her touch is soft , yet almost desperate . raising her brows . she knows robin can make rash decisions , endangering himself and his gang . ❝  leave gisborne to me . i can make a distraction , long enough for you to get what you need .  ❞  softer in her speech . this country had been through enough , pushing people to lie , cheat and steal .

❝  this is the last time .  ❞  brows still raised . she halfheartedly meant the words that escaped her .

after robin was outlawed , there was a rather public gisborne led and people hated burning of robin's affects just outside the manor . robin's clothes , the locksley & huntingdon banners , a large tapestry that everyone knew robin's mother had made anything remotely sentimental looking .

what gisborne doesn't know is that thornton , the real mvp , had insisted that robin gathered what he considered his most important affects together before he went on crusade and he had insured the safety of teh real lord of the manor's most valuable possessions ( letters from marian , letters from the king . his mother's ring , small bits of her jewelry , a small tapestry also made by his mother that had been up in his bedroom as a child . his father's sgian dubh which had belonged to his father before him . ) all of which now reside under robin's bunk in the camp

the only thing that robin had missed was his father's bow . he had had to replace it years ago but he kept it around . and his heart wrenches at the sight of it going up in flames .

in the holy land... the men we saw , in bits , screaming . every time i raise my bow i see them, i hear them

going absolutely feral this fine afternoon over robin's innate violence and how seeing it play out on a large scale on crusade has fundamentally changed who he is as a person . but also how that innate violence is still within him , and he spends so much energy every day trying to keep a lid on it , and he's not always very good at that . he slips up , often . lets the violence out . kills a man at 1000 yards because it's his first reaction to send the arrow through their chest rather than their knee . and every time he does , every time he slips up and slices someone in half or sends an arrow through their throat , he feels the heat of the sun baking the back of his neck again and has the smell of blood baking in sand in his nose and he hears the pleading and the begging and the screaming .

i have to try not to kill. i have to avoid killing. i mean god gave me a gift with bow. i can kill with my eyes closed. i mean, i can kill a man from 1000 yards and i have to try everything in my power not to."

#allan's shrug like 'eh' . but the way that john is like 'yeah i agree' when robin knocked him out #meanwhile . . . much is so worried. really worried #the rest of teh gang just put it downt o him worrying and over worrying but he's not #because he knows this robin. this is robin from the holy lands this is the one they left behind in the sand and the dust #and its the robin he promised he wasn't going to be anymore #it's not that much doesnt like that robin. or that he's scared of him. they were both different during war #but he can see how he might spiral down from here. can see how he might drop his new ethics and morals around killing #he can see how the nightmares will start up again. and they have only just started to die down #he can see how he will eventually come out of it. and will then hate himself for going back to that person #so yeah. much is worrying. but he's right to #( image ) never an archer there was so good : jonas armstrong #( the gang. ) never forget the outlaws ! #( queue. )

his flourish at his liege lord's words is almost a playful bow . it was a powerful feeling having the lannister lion's attention solely on him but it was one tinged with danger as well . for everyone knew the violence that he was so happy to display in the name of the gods . (   justified , in his mind , by the gods )    but then . . . he had always found himself drawn to danger .

" i am yours to wield , however you feel necessary and however you choose to enjoy it . "     sometimes it felt like a strange position to be in , but he had more freedom in in than most , trust woven between them strong enough to endure even when they disagreed .

he tried to cover his scoff with a cough , resentful rebels , it was a legitimate concern of that he had no doubt , children grow after all , but he's instead picturing two scowling children who still think that rebellion is not going to bed when told .     " i think probably sooner rather than later ,   take alone some food from your kitchens , the kind they would not normally be able to have . maybe leave the guards outside . . . "   another pause and then .   " maybe don't mention the ungodliness of their parents , focus on what they will gain as wards of the sept in the meantime . 

oh but it DID make him feel safe — for VIOLENCE was a language everybody spoke && understood .. especially the heathens. bloodshed in the gods' name, bloodshed to protect the innocent was never frowned upon, and so his conscience was as clear as the dornish sky. loreon had no lust for blood — or for anything else, really — but he would not hesitate to do what he believed to be RIGHT. that was his greatest strength && perhaps, his undoing.

"LET me ?" loreon echoed with an impressed smile, an incredulous shake of his head making the honey-blond curls swish left to right. "i was not aware you were my liege lord, do forgive me .." it was his turn to shift then, sliding to the edge of his chair && leaning forward. "i do not seek permission, and yet it is true i enjoy approval .. you are a power i'd rather wield than face, robin, and i enjoy your approval quite a lot."

when he leaned back into his seat he looked a lot less playful, the matter concerning the new wards was not to be taken lightly. "you may do that. i intend to pay them a visit myself, to make sure they harbor no ill feelings against the man who imprisoned their parents. to explain their wrongdoings, so these children do not grow up to be resentful rebels. how do you think i should approach them ? i do not wish them to be frightened."
