New Beginnings {closed}
Who: Robin and Marian
What: a surprise for Marian
Where: a quiet area of Sherwood
When: December 1st, afternoon
Note: I borrowed the trail of arrows idea from the Richard Greene show The Adventures of Robin Hood. I've been wanting to use it here ever since I saw it in episode 1x03. :D
Everything was finally set. While it was not precisely what he had wanted to do-- his circumstances, as well as the lateness of the year, prevented him from living up to his own plans-- it was good. Better, in fact, than he had thought he might be able to accomplish.
He had left a note for Marian to be at a spot a short ways off, so that she would not happen upon him if she showed up early and he was not yet ready. With his preparations complete, he jogged out to where she should be arriving. However, as she was not there and he did not want to leave his surprise unattended, he decided to mark a trail for her. Laying one of his arrows on the ground where she would be sure to see it, he pointed it in the direction she should go, expecting that she would have no trouble in figuring that out. As he walked back to the clearing, he left a few more arrows to denote the right path, and was relieved to find that nothing had disturbed his arrangement in the minutes he had been away.
