Upon the mention of Eddy looking for her, Marian’s whole body seemed to tense. That man, a good man… for the most part, but not the best men. Then again who was? No one really stood up for what’s right anymore. In fact there were only two people she could picture within the integrity to be considered a ‘great man’. The first one would be her father. Her father was an amazing man who wanted to do what he could for the city in order to protect and serve. That was an admirable trait that she appreciated from the bottom of her heart about him. 

The other person was actually Robin Hood. She understood why he was doing what he was doing although his methods were questionable and dangerous but they made sense. Sometimes you need to do some bad in order to create some good. Again, she’s not fully sold on the idea of all of the plans of action. She does truly believe the goal of Robin Hood and the Merry Men is to do good for the city.

Nearly choking on her drink she swallowed it back before turning her blue gaze up to him. “You’re joking right…” After staring at him she blinks a few times. “Oh you’re not joking. Well… I had thought about it to be honest. But I couldn’t convince myself to become a lawyer. No discredit to you by any means Robert but I feel like it’s not my calling; same with joining the police force. My father would just put me behind a desk and I’d sit there doing nothing. At least working for the courts I can do something I feel is right. I don’t know about getting into politics…” Her voice trailed off as she turned her attention to the misled crowd of people. Maybe… maybe Robert had a point.

The call to the doors left her shaking her head at the dramatic flare he brought with him and she giggled an honest giggle at his statement of staring at his reflection for too long. “Oh I don’t doubt that’s why he’s late. Or everyone else was early in his opinion.”

Marian and Robert took their seats at the table and began to make small talk as the waiter came by and took the glass of wine being offered. “Thank you sir much appreciated.” She said with a grin before taking a long drink. 

It was a bit after Robert vanished that Marian placed her fork and knife down and excused herself as well, leaving her father with a concerned look on his face. “Marian…” He said with a small tone as he softly took her hand and pulled her down a bit. “Please don’t go chasing a boy for the evening…”

“Dad… it’s that time of the month. I need to go.” She said softly as to not embarrass him. He gave her a quick nod before letting her go, He was always a kind person, thinking about others before himself and his hyper focusing on protecting his daughter. Even when it’s something as simple as needing to use the lady’s room.

The trip was brief and she soon found herself stepping out on the bathroom letting out a small sigh of relief. Though her gaze moved to the men’s restroom hoping that Robert was feeling alright, he had been gone for a bit. Or; he’s socializing which would be nice to see. He should be able to reconnect with people again after being gone so long. He’s not a bad guy after all.
