Step lightly, step softly. It was still a ways off, maybe a days journey, but it was still The Queens territory.
Robin had 'visited' a certain Duke from the outskirts of the Kingdom, no One important but he certainly pretended he was. Had enough gold to employ an entire village if he wished.... Even had a small army. Too bad they didn't double as guards. Now she had acquired a decent chunk of it, by herself, and was riding the dukes own stallion back through the woods.

Now that she was free from being locked up, thanks to the reaper, though being just kind of left alone after words when she had no real idea how long she would last being away…. Was not very good… the Reaper girl could of at least helped with finding a safe place to rest… but no she had to do that herself… this is when she wish she had a watch…. She thought that maybe there was still a few hours till evening… if she was lucky…
She could hardly keep her eyes open or even walk…. But walking in a strait line and not walking into things was asking to much of her, she had to constantly rest on the trees but she kept her mind on trying to get as far away from the Queen’s territory as she could and find a suitable play to sleep before evening.

The stallion grunted and came to a halt. Robin looked down to see what the problem was, and to her suprise it was the witch she'd met... what? A month or two ago?
"Sasha?" she said lowering her voice to her 'Robin Hood' tone, luckily she still had her mustache and goatee.

She looked up, just noticing that a horse was in front of her, she didn’t say any greeting or really anything at all, a mere grunt came out of her mouth, she couldn’t even form words now? Well she was finding it hard to think strait so it made since…
She looked at Robin with distant eyes like she couldn’t even see the person there.
She took a step and tripped and fell to the cold ground and laid there thinking ‘this would be a good place to sleep….’ Though it really wasn’t.

"Good Lord," Robin muttered and swung down from the horse,"What the hell did you get yourself into now?" she picked the poor thing up and helped her onto the steed.

Now if that was not a hard thing to accomplish… getting on that steed… some how Robin managed it, will no real help from ‘Sasha’ at all, it took everything she had not to just slide off the dang horse.
“The… usual… just… bad timing…” she managed to say, but then her words just got worse… “Queenie… cage… out… help… tired…. Ahhhhhh….. sleep….” Her words were slurred.

Robin grunted and pulled herself up behind Sasha, she didn't want the poor thing falling on her head right?
"I see... We'd best be leaving here then," Robin kicked her horse and they started moving,"What did the Queen want with you?"

Her head drooping and sawing very so slightly but trying to straiten up every time she did so. The horse begins moving and she tried to answer the question she was asked.
“Tried… help… her sister and gold locks… Queenie found… she made me mad… so I did something not so nice… but… got caught after… she not happy… with me… funny…” she said slowly and quietly she chuckled at the end.

"Goldilocks?! Wait you helped her out of there?" Sometime ago she'd met the girl, but she could tell Sasha was starting to fall asleep...

“Ehhhhh…. That one…” she grumbled and flipped a very lazy thumbs up.
She gave a long yon and even though she tried all she could to not fall asleep she could not any longer, just like right on the dot, right at 6 o-clock sharp, if there was a clock that’s what it would be, she went down and out cold like a rock.

Sasha was asleep, unfortunately she was rather heavy. Robin managed to stay on her horse but by the time they had travel a few more hours they had to stop.
Robin tied her stallion to a tree after she once again managed to haul sasha, only this time off the horse. She plopped Sasha under a tree and Robin sat opposte of her pulling out a flask and apple she had 'obtained' earlier.

Its was starting to get dark, the sun was no longer seen above the trees, it was starting to get colder, soon a fire would have to be made, for warmth and to word off any hungry animals that might be wondering by.

When the final beams of sunlight faded Robin had finished setting up the fire, she pick up a flint stone from her pocket and lit the the logs. Within moments the dry leaves and dead tree branches made a roaring fire, it's too bad she hadn't any meat with her....
The witch was still sleeping, or at least it looked that way to her. Robin rubbed the animal hair she'd stuck to her face several hours earlier, it was starting to wear off. Dear God why now? Tobin pulled out the tiny jar of sap she'd used for her disguise. Luckily, there was a tiny bit left, she smeared some of it on...

The fire was very warm, the crackling of it was the loudest noise that was herd during the night, though the faint sound of crickets could be herd and the horse moving, cracking branches under its hooves was herd every once in a while, but there was mostly silence through the night, up on till the sound of movement was coming from somewhere in the trees.

Robins heart skipped a beat, something was moving. Quiet, but it was there. Instinctively Robin pulled out her bow and an arrow as she pulled herself to her feet.
She nudged Sasha with her foot,"Sasha! C'mon, wake up..." if something were to happen she needed the girl on her feet.
