"Bother it. I hate confrontations..." Robert teased lightly, amid the jumble of conversation going on.

He grew more serious... looking at them both. "Gwyn, we need you..." he stated earnestly. "If we lost you too, who would lead us? Let Edwin go. You and I can escort him out there though."

Gwyn nodded. "Alright." she said, nodding slightly. She turned to Edwin

Edwin smiled.
"We go now?" he asked.
"Just wondering"

"I want to come too!" piped up a forgotten voice from among them, specifically from a bright-eyed pixie-like girl of sixteen. "I can, you know I can, Gwyn, can I come too, please?" begged Ayala, bow and arrows forgotten.

"Ayala.." Gwyn sighed. "I don't want you to get hurt..."

"But you're going! Why can't I, too? Please, Gwyn? You never let me go anywhere! Father would, he knows I could do it!" She looked at Gwyn pleadingly. "I'll try not to get in the way - and you said you needed someone small and nimble - oh yes, Edwin's doing that - but I can help, Gwyn, I can!"

"Aw... please can she go Gwyn?" Edwin said grinning, and getting behind Ayala and gripped her by the shoulder.
"Shes a big girl now. Shes even older than you when you went of your first raid... am I right? And we could use someone to carry all the stuff!"

Gwyn sighed. "Alright..." she said. "Don't make me regret it, however."

Robert smiled at Gwyn approvingly, and pushing his hair back from his face, said with a sense of glee... "Let's ride!"

Ayala grinned from ear to ear. "Oh, I won't Gwyn! I promise!"

She whistled piercingly and a dapple-grey pony trotted out of a nearby copse. "C'mon Thunder!" she said excitedly, swinging into the saddle and snatching her bow and arrows. "Oh thank you Gwyn, thank you!"

Edwin grinned, and whistled for his horse too, which was a big black stallion. He always rode bareback, and steered with his knees, so the horses didn't need any tack. Edwind mounted and waited for the others...

Gwyn whistled for her black mare, Darkstar, and mounted her quickly. She rode bareback as well, but always had her legs on one side, seeing as that was more comfortable for her, for some strange reason.

Robert was already on his horse, a majestic arabian which he had stolen from the sheriff. It paced, just as impatient as it's master, and stomped it's feet emphatically. Robert smirked.

The six men on the battlements paced, back and forth, back and forth. Their swords were sharp, their bows nocked.

Imbeciles, each and every one of them.

Unseen in the underbrush at the base of the hill that cradled the tower, Ryairon literally seethed with rage. She'd been hunting alone when she received the news that her father, Robin Hood, had been captured. Now, she idly toyed with her long dark braid as she watched the sentries like a wolf scrutinizing its prey.

By rash impulse, she strung her bow and sighted down one of the sentries. Should she wait for her sisters? Or should she could take one down now to sate her vengeful lust?

Aelflaed sat in a tree a little ways outside of Nottingham. Oh how she wished she was a boy and could wield a long-sword like her brother had, then she would kill many Normans. But all she had was a sling, Aelflaed sighed and jumped out of the tree. Maybe one day she would revenge her family's murders. Walking slowly around the outside of the walls Aelfraed caught sight of Ryairon, bow in hand, in the bushes. Unsure of what to do Aelfaed halted and bit her lip, maybe the person hadn't seen her?
