A smile appears on Robin’s face as he watches the interaction between the Queen and one of his horses, almost forgetting that she asked if she could ride with him. Walking over, Robin raises his hand – his tattoo now fully exposed from underneath the sleeve of his white shirt and strokes the mane of the horse while standing next to Regina.“He seems to like you, and he doesn’t like many people.” The memory of his horse almost kicking one of his Merry Men in the chest for petting it still etched in the front of his mind. Still smiling, both at the memory and at the Queen, Robin turns to Regina. “And you seem to like him as well. Do you have any experience riding horses?”Robin drops his hand to his side and walks around the horse, removing its leash from around the pole. If this is the horse that the Queen was drawn to, then this is the horse that they’ll take for their mission. “And no, I don’t mind if you ride with me, it would make it much faster and you can then return to your castle in no time.” Robin makes sure that the saddle is placed snuggly around the noble steed and makes eye contact with the Queen. “I’m just concerned about your need to keep appearances.”He would never admit it out loud, but deep down, Robin is glad that the Queen has decided to share a horse ride with him, because it isn’t every day that he’ll share such a moment with a beautiful woman – Queen or not.TAG: regina77

Robin listens to everything that Zelena had to say about the matter, but he’s still not convinced. He understands that Zelena is probably trying to turn him against Regina and perhaps, under different circumstances, it would have worked. But not now… not when he already knew this piece of information, told to him by Zelena herself while in Marian’s body, the very first thing she told Robin when she found out that he was – is – in love with Regina.“You’re not telling me anything new… and the reason why they didn’t tell me that, it’s because that just like me… they believe in second chances. Regina… she’s different. She’s not who she once was… and you know this. She changed… and so can you.” Even though Zelena has done dreadful things and killed her own share of people – including Henry’s father and Robin’s friend, Neal, maybe she does deserve a second chance. “Yes… I did think Marian was dead, my son knew how much of a fighter his mother was… and she died because of me. I can’t hold it against Regina, when it was a mistake that I made that got my wife captured in the first place. But… that’s not what I’m here to talk about. I just… I want to understand why, Zelena, why you’re using me to get back to Regina.”Robin shakes his head, still finding everything hard to believe. “I don’t want to be in the middle of whatever problems you have with her. I never asked for it! My feelings for Regina… they never changed. I wasn’t with you and getting you pregnant… it was a mistake. I thought I was with my wife, my son’s mother… I was doing the honorable thing… but it turns out that you used me to get back at Regina… and I’m sorry… but I have no feelings for you.” Maybe Robin is being harsh… but the truth needs to come out. If he expects the truth out of Zelena, he needs to be truthful himself.“I… I don’t know if your intentions where to have me fall in love with you or not… you were a loving wife and mother… but it wasn’t real.” Robin takes a deep breath. “And… I did get you pregnant, mistake or not, it happened and now we’re going to have a child together. A child that I fully plan on raising… and whether Regina likes it or not, it’s mother will be in its life, as strict as it’ll be… but not if you’re this… this evil. Not if you plan on getting your revenge on me, Regina or anyone else for that matter. We need to be truthful to each other… you need to be truthful to your sister… and most importantly, you need to be truthful to our child.”As much as it hurts, Robin just can’t cast Zelena away from his life and forget about her for the next five or six months, take his child and leave her to rot. That’s not how he works and Regina will have to understand that… and hopefully Zelena understands it too and works together with him, to reach common ground – and finally some closure.TAG: wicked

Robin didn’t expect to be welcomed into Zelena’s room with open arms, after all, he didn’t stop Regina from putting her in here in the first place. Not that he really wanted to stop her anyway and at the current moment, he’s not even sure what to think anymore. But there is one reason to why Robin is here and he’s going to the bottom of the matter, even if it costs him his own sanity.“You sure didn’t lose your sense of humor, now have you?” Robin looks at the bed where Zelena is seated at, but decides to not follow her invitation – not that he wanted to in the first place. Instead he pulls up a chair from the table where he assumes she has her meals at and takes a seat in it, still staring at her. “You should actually know why I’m here. After all, this is the first time I’m alone with you since I’ve discovered your little trick.”Usually, the man would be smiling. But he’s not – the whole situation is more hurtful to him and his family than anything that has happened before. And all Robin wants to know is… “Why?” Seems simple enough. “Why did you do these things? Why is it so important that you take what Regina has? I saw your place in Oz… you don’t need this. You didn’t need to kill my wife and take her place, Zelena. Why did you do it? I want the truth from you, Zelena. If you’re going to be in my life… in this child’s life, I need to know the truth.”Robin motions to Zelena’s growing belly, the child inside of her growing every day. And the more the child grows, the more it hurts to know that not only did Zelena kill Marian to take her spot, but she tricked him into leaving Storybrooke to try and ruin Regina’s happiness… his happiness.TAG: wicked

Being a man that lives by his code, Robin is not the kind of man to just leave someone like the mother of his child to rot inside of that hospital room… cell… whatever it is that Regina locked her into. He agrees with Regina that Zelena needs to stay away from him, her sister and possibly even their child… but she is pregnant with his child and there’s nothing that Robin can do to change that.
He once thought that he was doing the honorable thing and trying to love his wife, even though his heart beat strongly for Regina… but his world has turned upside down. His son Roland is yet to discover exactly what has happened, but there’s no way he can explain a five year old child what is going on and Regina assures him that every memory from the past few months is gone from his head. Currently, he’s safe and sound with Regina and Henry, while the two discuss what to do next with the next threat looming over them, so Robin has decided to do what he should have done a long time ago – he’s going to confront Zelena.
Robin has made his way through the hospital and gone through the door that everyone seems to walk past without paying much attention to it and walks down the steps. He hasn’t been down here many times before, only when him and Regina brought Zelena down here and a second time when Regina refused to let the Author change their past, present and future. But he knows exactly where he’s going and soon enough he’s outside of Zelena’s door.
In a moment of weakness, he thinks about turning on his heel and leaving the hospital, pretending that he never came around and he never cared… but that’s just not how he functions. So with a deep breath, he reaches forward and opens the door. Of course, Zelena is still inside, sitting in that white bed, with nowhere to go. He knows that Regina has laced this room with the most powerful of magic and there’s no way for Zelena to leave, so he knew very well he’d find her here. Robin steps inside and closes the door behind him, his eyes never leaving the mother of his unborn child.“We need to talk.”TAG: wicked

Robin is thankful that the man understands his reasons for not wanting to steal from Regina, even if he doesn’t give away the true source of his feelings for the Mayor. But will Robin still be willing to help the man getting what he needs? Perhaps if he tells him why he needs those items in the first place. So with a nod of his head, Robin replies to the man.“I can promise you that I’ll keep your reasons a secret from my men… after all you did come looking for me and not for them.” Robin pushes his lips together, not sure how to word his next thoughts. “But…” Tharon still needs something from Regina. “…in order to get something from Regina, she needs to know why. I know that I live by a code… but this is Regina we’re talking about. Even if I did steal from her, she would know exactly who to look for… there aren’t many thieves in town as it stands.”And Robin knows that Tharon knows he’s right. Other than these two men, Will Scarlet is the last thief that Storybrooke has laid its eyes upon. Robin slowly scratches his chin, still speaking up. “And Regina is not that bad. If you give her a good reason, I’m sure she’d be willing to help a fella in need. But to tell, what do you need Regina’s potion and some fairy dust for? I'll see what I can do for you from there.”TAG: @tharon

Robin should have known that something of the sort would be asked of him. It doesn't come as a surprise to him, he's just surprised it hasn't happened sooner, especially after everyone learned that Robin has gotten fairly close to Regina in the last few weeks. So, to have a man such as Tharon coming to him for help, shouldn't be unusual.
But that doesn't change the fact that Robin doesn't want to do anything that crosses Regina in any shape or form – he's happy. He hasn't been this happy with someone since his Marian died and he was left alone in the world with their son. Still, Robin addresses the first need of the man. “You're in need of some fairy dust?” Robin folds his arms across his chest, in deep thought. “I believe I've heard the dwarfs talking about how there's some underneath these very woods, in the mines they now work at to produce some for Blue and her fairies. You might want to start with them... or you could try and get a hand on one of their picks if you'd prefer. Though I'd suggest the first one.”Seems like a reasonable request, even the reformed thief still has a little desire for adventure, even if he can't phantom why would Tharon need a potion made. “But as far as a potion that Regina has...” Robin shrugs his shoulders a little, an apologetic look in his face. “I don't think I can help you. Maybe you can try and ask her yourself... or you can tell me what you need and I'll ask her if she can spare some for you. What is it you're trying to make?” Again, in Robin's head it seems rather reasonable, rather than going around stealing from the woman he's now together with – nor that he would anyway, but perhaps he can still aid the man in what he needs.TAG: @tharon

Robin has absolutely no reason as to why he wouldn't believe when Elsa talks about this woman that seems to want to hurt everyone in Storybrooke, if it means everyone is going to blame Elsa for it – sounds like the thing of things that happen in Storybrooke all the time, so Robin nods his head at the Queen slowly. “So this woman hurt my wife to make us all believe that you did it? I have to say... she somewhat succeeded in the matter, I overheard Regina talking to Emma about it.” Robin looks down at his hands, still feeling the cold from his wife's body.“Don't worry, I believe you. As I told you, there's been worse happening to this town.” He looks back up at Elsa. “Ice magic... it's certainly different, isn't it? It's different from the magic I've seen in this town – or back in the Forest. My son would have loved that neat trick you just did on Marian.” A bittersweet smile appears in Robin's lips, because despite the fact that his wife is in a frozen state due to a curse some random woman cast on her... his son would have still loved the display of magic, as he always does when Regina would indulge him, after much pleading on his end.TAG: @tiri

Robin quickly leads the Queen outside of the inn, towards a more peaceful night. Away from the noise, Robin can finally hear himself think and listens closely as the Queen explains where she last saw the horse. Nodding his head, he walks towards his own steeds, tied up to the post outside the inn. “We shouldn't have much trouble finding your horse and returning it to the King.” Then with a smile, Robin thinks about Regina's words – it is true, people tend to talk about something that doesn't concern them.“M'lady... Regina, don't apologize. It will in fact be in the tip of everyone's tongues should they see your Majesty with a common... man.” Robin almost has to bite his tongue before he reveals to the Queen exactly what he does for a living. He wouldn't want her to find out that the only reason him and his men are in her kingdom was to make sure they got something valuable out of their trip. What sort of hold does she have over him? Snapping out of his own thoughts, Robin speaks again. “Here, take this.” Robin reaches up to his neck and unties the cloak he's carrying. Swiftly, he pulls it around Regina's shoulders and ties it up neatly around her neck, before pulling the hood up and covering her head with it. He would never admit it, but he already misses having her beauty in open view.“It's not much but it will keep you away from any watchful eye... though everyone inside already knows that the Queen left the inn with me. But we can be even more careful... I have not one, but two horses, you're free to take one of them if you'd prefer, instead of riding with me.” Robin turns to his horses for a second, before looking back at the Queen. “Oh, and it's Robin of Locksley... just Robin.”TAG: regina77

Robin is no stranger to strange things happened, whether they're in this new town he's at or back home – specially since he heard of the so called curse. But animals now being people... that's something that Robin can't quite understand. When Regina first told him about Jiminy Cricket – or Dr. Hopper – Robin had a hard time understanding how it would be possible, even after he long explanation... so standing in front of a cat in a human body, is mind boggling to say the least.
Of course, Robin has heard of the feats of a cat that wears boots and at times he also thought of him as a rival to his jobs. However, Robin has never met the man... cat, until now. Trying not to sound too offensive, Robin turns to Tharon with his eyebrows raised.“You're a cat!” Robin quickly shakes his head, knowing that be probably just offended the man standing in front of him. “I'm sorry for my bluntness... I'm just getting used to everything that is going on on this new land. I've heard of you and your feats in the Enchanted Forest. It's my pleasure finally meeting you in person.”Smiling, Robin extends his hand towards the man, expecting him to shake it. “So... what kind of a job do you have for me?”TAG: @tharon

A job? Now, ever since coming into this realm, a town that is completely strange to him – since regaining his memories – Robin hasn't had much time for any sort of jobs that didn't involve finding out who cast the curse and who was the cause of all the troubles. Even after finding out about the Wicked Witch and having Regina break the curse just so everyone regained their memories, Robin was still busy finding ways to rid the town of the menace, so a job was the last thing in his mind.
And there's also the fact that they're not in the Enchanted Forest anymore, there's no need for Robin to even think about the jobs he used to pull with his Merry Men back home. So when this man approaches him with the talks of a job, Robin can't just help himself but to feel a little weary about where the conversation is going. After all, the man did address him as the Outlaw.
Looking around to make sure his son is within his vision, Robin turns to the man. “Sure, if privacy is what you need, I'm sure we can step away from more noisey ears.” Robin waves his arm, palm up, as he motions to a more secluded area of the woods he set camp at. Robin starts walking over there, barely waiting for the man in question to follow him as he speaks again. “But I'm not sure if it's quite fair for you to know who I am... yet I have no idea who you may be.”TAG: @tharon

Still quite astonished to be in the presence of the Queen herself, Robin pays close attention as to what brought her into this inn. Something about the way she announced it, makes Robin think that perhaps that's not exactly what she's here for, but it would be terrible of him to even think about doubting her majesty. Slowly nodding his head, Robin gestures towards the inn's door. “I'm not that good of a finder... but perhaps I will be able to help you out. How long ago did your horse run away?” Robin starts to walk towards the door of the inn, but quickly realizes that the Queen is not following. “If you would like to show me where you last saw your horse, we can return it to the King in no time at all.”Robin smiles at Regina, although something still doesn't feel exactly right. He can also feel several pairs of eyes lodged on him, wondering just what Robin is doing, talking to the Queen. But for some reason he just can't seem to take his eyes off her – judgment be damned. “Your majes-- Regina?”TAG: regina77

Now that the Wicked Witch of the West seems to have been dealt with – according to Regina – Robin Hood and his Merry Men are now enjoying a peaceful afternoon in the woods, knowing that it won't be long until Little John is released from the hospital and joins them once again.
But what seems strange to Robin is the fact that a man came looking for him. Robin has seem him before, but he never found reason to approach him. After all, there's many people in Storybrooke that Robin doesn't quite know yet. But to be approached by one of them, while sitting in his camp, is quite unusual. Still, Robin stands from the stop next to his tent and approaches the man. “That would be me. Is there anything that I can help you with?”TAG: @tharon
