Canon is Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves.

YOU. YOU THERE.

So you want to be my scribe, do you?

[. . .]

WELL???

Why are you just sitting there? Get this show on the road or I'll have you flogged!

Where are my concubines? Where are my soldiers? Where. Is. My. Bloody CASTLE, WENCH?

Right. I'll need minions and lackeys, so hop to it and line them up for inspection!



And another thing! I want a puppy. And Locksley's head on a platter wouldn't go amiss either.

The what?

[withaspoon]

Gleet. The Pox. That 'perilous infirmity of burning.'

[cassie_of_troy]

[She stares at him blankly.]

[withaspoon]

[Huffs impatiently, rolling his eyes.] Gonorrhoea?

[cassie_of_troy]

Who is that?

[withaspoon]

Oh, never mind.

[cassie_of_troy]

I hate it when people say that.

[withaspoon]

Somehow I'm unsurprised that you've heard it before.

[cassie_of_troy]

It's hardly my fault I'm out of my time.

[withaspoon]

What's that supposed to mean?

[cassie_of_troy]

Most of the things people talk about don't exist where I come from.

[withaspoon]

This isn't going to turn into any kind of sob story, is it? I'm not listening to it unless you put out first.

[cassie_of_troy]

You are the singularly most unattractive person I've ever met. And I've seen Agamemnon of Mycene. Why on earth would I want you touching me?

[withaspoon]

Because of who I am, that's why! I'm the Sheriff of Nottingham and it's a bloody privilege to be in my bed!



Also, if you refuse, I'll have you hanged.

[cassie_of_troy]

I wish you luck in hanging me. My patron would be most displeased. And his punishments are far more severe.

[withaspoon]

Do I detect a note of concern on my behalf? How touching.

[cassie_of_troy]

Consider it "fair warning."

[withaspoon]

I'll take it under advisement.

[cassie_of_troy]

I'm sure.

You'd do well in the City of Sin.

[withaspoon]

The name is certainly intriguing. What is this city of which you speak? And more importantly, are they in need of a dictator?

The city is called Bete Noire. Leadership is in a state of flux. Two competing entities. One named Glory. One named Satan.

[withaspoon]

Interesting. I shall order my scribe to investigate it forthwith. Provided she can display some degree of competency.

[cassie_of_troy]

Be cautious. You share a face with a citizen who's been the target of several...for lack of a better word...pranks.

[withaspoon]

Oh, I don't think anyone's going to be playing any pranks on me. At least not more than once.

[cassie_of_troy]

Confident.
