It had been months since Cornelius had seen his betrothed, he had gone home to prepare his parents for their first meeting but when he returned she was gone. Her mother was distraught and he had promised to bring her home safely. It was still in the midst of summer and if he didn’t find her before winter hit he knew his chances would drop dramatically.
Deep in Sherwood forest he knew of a large camp of humans that may know or have at least heard tales of a tiny human. Slowly he flew into the camp looking for whomever was in charge.

Robin Hood was sitting high in the branches of an Oak tree, it was her turn to keep watch. She looked out over the edge of the camp. The fake mustache and goatee she wore started to itch and she crinkled her nose a bit.

Observing the camp from his vantage Cornelius looked at the men in the camp. Not the most trustworthy looking bunch he had seen but he had to find her. Flying closer the price failed to notice the figure watching over that camp hidden in a tree.

There was a light hum or wurr in the air, Robins ears pricked. When she turned her head to the sounds source she had to squint to see the tiny creature. She silently climbed down and got behind the.... Fairy.
"Not too many of your kind here in this neck of the woods" Robin said to him in a low voice.

Whirring around Cornelius spotted the figure the voice belonged to. “Ah, well yes, I shall have to see to that.” He mumbled as he drew closer to the human.
“Perchance do you know where I might find the leader of this encampment?” He asked in his princely ‘this is important’ voice.

Robin raised a brow, not sure if she approved of his attitude,"You're talking to him, Robin Hood, and your name is...?"

“Of course,” He said as he bowed “I am Prince Cornelius of the Fairy folk.” As he rose he flitted closer to the human, they all looked so alike.
“I am here on a personal matter of urgency. You see some months ago my fiancé was kidnapped and I have been searching for her to no avail. She is not of my people so they are unable to locate her, I was hoping you may have heard rumour of a human girl the size of a man’s thumb.”

"Whoa whoa, slow down there little, erm, Prince." Up until now Robin has thought all Faeries were women, she had no evidence otherwise...
"Size of a thumb you say?" She glanced down at her own hand, 'Gee, let me check my shoe' she couldn't help but think. Wait... She had heard something..."Now that you mention it, there was a whisper about a 'Thumbalina'...."

He could have cried out in joy but maintained his composure to the best of his ability but was still unable to stop the beaming smile. “She lives then, do you know where she is?” Unconsciously he flitted a little too close to the human.

"Calm down Prince,"Robin had little patience for any sort of Royalty, Fairy or not," ...last I heard of this 'Thumbalina'," she pushed him back with her index finger,"She had taken refuge with a pauper at the edge of the West Forest. But she's moved on since then... You might try there."

“Thank you outlaw it is appreciated.” The prince said purposefully ignoring his presumption that he was permitted touch, let alone push, his royal self.
“If you should come across her before I find her, I beseech you to contact the fairies if you can.” He said before bowing and flitting away into the sky.

Robin bit her thumb at him once he left,"Dint mention it," then she returned to her post, a little more irritated than before.
