As dawn broke and Robin awoke, The Piper's music could still be heard softly playing.
Little Buddy stirred as soon as Robin awoke.

The music made it tempting to fall back asleep, but she managed to keep herself up. Though Robin kept quiet and listened to his playing for awhile. Finally stood and walked over to him,"That's beautiful..." she started, but at the same time cursed herself for being so obvious," where did you learn to play like that?" again, very unoriginal.

The Piper stopped upon hearing Robin's voice. He looked to her. "Learn?" he asked her before shrugging. "I....dont rightly know.... I had always just been able to play I suppose...." Oliver looked to his flute now silent in his hand.

"...you just picked it up and started playing?" she laughed,"I wish I could learn something like that so quickly, it'd save me a lot of trouble,"

"Yes....Well...." however, he let it drop there before giving a sigh. "The only reason I picked it up was to...." He let what he was saying go again and shook his head. "Never mind..."

She watched him for a moment trying to decide whether or not to push him, they had time that's for sure...
Robin sat down beside him,"No really, tell me"

"The only reason I picked it up was to...." he stareted again before giving a sigh. "Was to impress another fair lass..."

"Really?" she blinked a little, but couldn't help but smile,"That's very... Romantic actually... She must have been charmed by such a gesture"

The Piper quickly looked back down to his flute. He was silent for quite some time.....
Finally he spoke up again. "T'wish it had been you....whom I tried to impress and woo then M'lady...." Oliver replied softly. It sounded as if he were fighting tears back.

Her expression turned soft, she touched his shoulder. She could tell where this was going though she was a little surprised...
"I'm sorry," she said quietly trying to meet his eyes.

"You would have appriciated it at the very least...." Another long silence. "Unrequited love hurts......I pray you never have to feel such pain...."

Robin could feel her heart break for him, she looked at the ground,"I don't think anyone would have taken that kind of time for me, tried to earn my love in that way..." she tried to smile, wanting to lighten the mood,"She was a fool Oliver, whoever she was..."

He closed his eyes, turning away.
"When one is eighteen and told by his Love that he is nothing but a foolish, simple-minded Stableboy...... It tends to stay with you, M'lady for....quite some time to come...."

Robin felt a pang of empathy for him, sure she herself had never felt love or had it shot down like he had, but she knew how destructive words like that can be. Herself having been through years of it...
She took his face gently in her hand, trying to meet his eyes,"You know none of that's true don't you?" she said softly, her voice wavered just a bit.

"Your words....are too kind....." he replied, blinking back tears. However the Piper met her eyes. His own painfully sad.
"You would be able to have any man fall for you...." His gaze looked down then, though she still held his chin up gently. "You, a Noble-woman by birth......" He swallowed a lump in his throat. "I only pray you remember your words to me...take them to heart and live them out yourself...." With that, he gently pulled away and stood up. "But alas...you shouldn't mix with me..."
Not until I clear my name... he silently thought. If even after then she cares to think of me...
