#complete, guy of gisborne, robin hood

Who: Robin, Marian, and OPEN
What: A surprise visit
When: Afternoon
Where: The Grocers where Marian and Guy work
Status: Incomplete

There was no harm in a little visit, was there? It had been a few days since he'd found out about Marians' new job...and the presence of a certain old acquaintance, and while Robin wasn't arguing with his wife anymore, it didn't mean he was entirely comfortable with the idea of her seeing Guy each day. After all, the former lackey of the Sheriff was the man that killed her in cold blood...Robin didn't like taking chances, especially with the woman he loved.

He'd showed up unannounced at the grocers that day looking about- a story already in the back of his mind should Marian argue. He wanted to take her out for lunch. That was custom here, wasn't it? Right...perfectly harmless. And he'd have a chance to spy Guy and see just how close the former knight was to the girl.

The market wasn't all that busy that day when Robin stepped in to look around, casting a smile to a boy at the check out, he hesitated to ask if the kid knew where Marian could be found. But, the other seemed busy and Robin fancied familiarizing himself with the story first...just in case, after all. He approached the produce department and glanced over a stack of apples near the center aisle, his eyes almost immediately catching a dark haired man across the way and instinctively narrowing on him. The last man he ever wanted to see again, now here as well. Really, he'd thought it fate that he and Marian were brought back together by this miracle...now, maybe it was true- maybe this was just some cruel joke by an unknown and malicious deity.

Marian's job had yet to become a checkout person. Mike, the man that had hired her, knew that she was not familiar with technology, and wanted to make sure she would be comfortable doing that before she was assigned to it as her shift. She had instead been asked to reshelve a lot of the items in the store that had been left in random places, but also to help any customers that might come up with questions.

She had asked Guy to help her carry out a box full of soup cans, but he had other things to do, so she thanked him quickly and opened the box as he walked away so she could start shelving those when she saw a familiar form out of the corner of her eye. She turned with a smile, he looked so lovely in the clothes of this time, but it wasn't long after that her expression changed to one of frustration. What had he come to her work for, other than to keep an eye on another man that had come from the same place they had? She certainly didn't know.

"And what, might I ask, are you doing here?" She asked as she walked over to him, making sure it wasn't close enough to him that he could reach. He should know that she was not particularly happy with him.

That voice. Like fresh air, it rang in the air between them and Robin smiled as he caught her eyes- of course, as expected, she was furious. No matter, she was safe. That was the important thing, was it not?

"I came to visit my beautiful wife, is that a crime?" He kissed her and winked, pulling back to note. "And to buy soup. We're out."

Yes, he was a cheeky one, but...well, he'd always been the sort. Seeing her brightened his day more than she might ever know.

She did not kiss him back, especially after that sorry excuse. She knew exactly why he was there, and it had nothing to do with soup. She had grown fond of soup and checked that morning to see if they did indeed have enough for her to make them a nice meal that night out of it. She had also planned on taking home some of the premade garlic bread from the freezer section and giving that a try. There were certain advantages to living with Superman, not that she knew who he was, but he had helped put out a few fires they had inadvertantly made.

"We are not out of soup, unless you ate six cans of it after I left this morning." She did take his hand though, dragging him back to where she had been stocking the shelves with the soup. Dropping her voice down so none of her coworkers would hear, especially Guy. "I know exactly why you are here, Robin."
