Who: Robin and Lena
What: A tour...
When: Afternoon
Where: The mall
Rating: TBA



Robin was near walking on air. Despite a disasterous week involving lusty water and the assault of his wife, he finally had good news to bring him to the woman he loved. He'd gotten a job! And not just an job, a relatively well paying, respectable job! Granted, it wasn't anything he'd really done before, but the owner of the place seemed 'impressed' to learn who he was...and Robin was not above using his new found infamy to help support himself and Marian.

He'd only left the store moments before, with the hopes to start his new position Monday- grin on his face and bounce in his step as he lingered a bit in front of one particular window displaying replica swords. It was funny to him, how obsolete such weapons were in this time and place, and yet...how they still managed to be popular. Funnier still, for Robin, because these blades were nothing like the ones he had used in his own time- no..these would break after a blow or two- and while they were...pretty, they were hardly functional.

Not that he had to worry about that anymore, all the which made him happier to realize. He had a job! His wife..and peace. It was near perfect.

Maybe he had died and this was heaven. Funny if that, considering there were those here claiming to be angels and other creatures.

Lena was just getting off from work. She was really exhausted due to that it was a very busy day plus she was working hard on more of her drawings. She even managed to sell a few of her drawings which was pretty amazing. People wanting them framed and then her boss told her the great news that if she wanted to offer a service for her to draw customers for a price and Lena was just ecstatic about that.

When she got her stuff and left the store for the day she began to look around the mall. She couldn't wait to get home and get some rest since she had a list of customers who wanted to be drawn. She stopped by the coffee shop and got herself a caramel iced coffee, once she paid she went on her way.

She then decided to check her phone for any messages when she ran into somebody. Luckily she didn't spill her coffee drink because she was wearing white. She gasped. "OH GOD I'm so sorry." She then looked at him, "Say don't I know you?"

Robin really should have known better than to stand so far away from the window as he stared- he'd run into enough people on his way in recent months. Stumbling a little, he blinked and quickly held out to catch the girl's shoulders, grinning a bit.

"Don't worry about it- hm?" Familiar? She wasn't..oh wait. He stared a bit closer, cocking his head to one side before questioning her. "Lena...?"

She felt terrible that she ran into him like that. She really needed to watch where she was going, or better yet, find a better way to multitask. She looked over and smiled at him.

Lena couldn't put the name to the face but then she recognized him. "Robin? HEY! So this is what you look like." She then shook her head. "What I meant was, that its nice to finally meet the person that I chatted with over the phone." She giggled. "So you shopping for new clothes or something?"

"I guess this is what I look like..." A chuckle and a nod as they looked at one another, grinning then looking back at hte window. "Oh? No! No, I was browsing, but I um...actually I Was here for work. I had an interview." An easy grin crossed his face.

"What about yourself? It's fancy running into you of all people here."

"I guess it is. I'm sorry if I sound weird. Since we've never met face to face really. Its nice to finally meet you in person." She smiled as she reached out her hand. "And ohhhh that's amazing, where did you have your interview at?" She took a drink of her iced coffee.

"Well, I was just getting off from work. I work at the art shop over there. They sell drawings, paint supplies, frames, anything really that deals with art." She laughed.

He chuckled and took her hand, giving it a shake. "No, not weird at all! I completely understand where you are coming from. Um, All Sports? The larger store on the other side of the mall. It's...nice, I suppose. I guess the owner thought I had good leadership skills and hired me as the evening manager." It was definitely good news considering the pay was decent, even if the hours were not.

"Oh? Interesting! I did not know you were an artist. What sort of work do you do?"

She laughed while shaking his hand. "Well, I'm glad that its not weird to you." She then nodded her head. "Oh cool! I've been there a couple of times, to get some workout clothes. That's a pretty good job!"

She smiled and then nodded. "Yeah. Well, I draw, paint, I don't sculpt, drawing is my strength. Its not only fun, but its also a great stress reliever."

He listened her her describe her art, staring a moment before shaking his head with a faint smile. "Strange to hear a woman say such things- not that I think it is beyond your capabilities at all! Just...I'm used to the Church dictating 'artwork', I suppose. But as I said, I would be quite interested in seeing it sometime."

She covered her mouth as she was going to be laughing pretty soon. Strange? She thought to herself. But then she managed to cough out the laugh and act as if she had something stuck in her throat. "Oh well, I see your point to that then. Well, I have some drawings in my apartment, if you wanted to see them. Or we can do the tour and I do have some drawings up in the store I work at as well." She then gave a gasp of air. "Okay, I'm talking too much!"

He laughed. "No, you're not! I uh.." Her apartment. He felt himself shift a little, thinking quickly of his wife and shaking his head. "Upstairs would be good- I mean, to see your work, if that's alright." The water was still effecting him, even if he knew better than to respond to the desires.

She giggled a bit. "Yes I am. I tend to talk too much sometimes when I get nervous." She then nodded her head. "Okay, yeah. Its just right up here." She then led the way to the Art store and entered it and took him to the backroom. "I'll go and get my portfolio for you to look at. Can I get you something to drink? Water? Soda? Juice?" She took out a bottle of water for herself and took a drink.

"No! I mean..no thank you." He wondered if Lena had heard rumors about the water...or if she'd been infected, but he did not mention it. Not yet. A small smile after he started to look around the place, his hands in his trouser pockets, taking in the small back room. "How long have you been here?"

She looked at him with a strange look on her face as if to say what are you talking about! But she didn't and she put the bottled water away since he didn't want anything. She was feeling that sudden urge again, and she was going to try to NOT get him on the couch. TRY was the main word here. She then went and grabbed her portfolio and sat on the couch and handed it to him. "Here is a book of all my drawings so far. And I've been here for a few months." She smirked at him. "What about you?"

"Only a month or two. Not a lot." He hesitated and took the porfolio, having a seat next to her and glancing through it with a faint grin. A few pictures before his grin faded and he answered her with sincerity. "These are good...I mean, really good! I've never seen an artist with such skill."

"Yeah, well, even though I've only been here for a few months, I'm getting pretty used to it and everything." She shrugged. And then she took a swig of her water and then laid it down as he was looking at her drawings and was saying how he liked them she smiled. "Well, thank you. I've had a ton of practice and of course the education to become an artist. I love to draw." She looked over at him.

"I can tell." He smiled back, meeting her eyes. "An education? Where?" Robin was still getting used to the idea of 'educated women'- not that he'd never met an intelligent or talented female in his day. He was married to one! But, it wasn't custom in his time for women to go to school like they did here.

"Yeah, its a passion of mine. And I love how I can capture everything through a drawing, the emotions coming through that person." She then put her hair behind her ears. "I went to Rhode Island School of Design. In there Art Program." She giggled nervously, she'd never really had a real education conversation before with anybody. "So was there any schooling in your time, if I may ask."

Rhode Island? He'd never heard of the place, but then..there was a lot he had never heard of in this time. A nod in appreciation and he watched her put her hair back, admiring her neck and...ugh, the water. He looked down quickly.

"Um...some. Though, it was mostly through private tutors or the church. I learned the read and write from such...as did my wife." He cleared his throat, turning the page. "Though, she is more educated than most women."

She looked at him and smiled. She was getting a little hot so she went and and turned on the fan. "Sorry, its a little hot in here." She had said while laughing. Then Lena ran the bottle of cold water around her neck and her chest. "That feels good."

"Oh that sounds pretty cool. Seems like you guys had it pretty made back then to get such a good education. To be honest I didn't know how people in your time had schooling and everything." Shrugging her shoulders. "Oh so your married?" She smirked at him.

He did a double take when she poured the water over her neck, gaping a moment adjusting himself and quickly looking down again. Marian. Think of Marian. Right. He took a breath.

"Yes...cool, it is 'cool', I mean. Not in here..." Damnit, he was having trouble concentrating. He shifted again. "Yes! I am...recently, actually." A faint smile and he forced himself to look up again. "You..might know her. Marian? A dark haired woman near your age, actually..she's been working at the grocer's recently."

She was getting all hot and sweaty so the cool water made her feel so good. She looked at him, "Sorry, I'm just really hot. Is it me or do you think that its hot in here?" She was waving her hand in front of her face.

"Oh no I was saying that having that kind of education in your time is really neat, or good." She started to laugh. "That's great, yeah my boyfriend is not in this place, lucky him. And neither are my friends. You are so lucky to have people that you love in this place. I don't think I know her." She sighed as she turned on the fan. "Are you sure I can't get you anything to drink?"

"It's a bit warm." He gave a nod, trying to avoid her eyes as he flipped again through the book.

"It was. Neat, I mean to say." He smirked. "Oh?" That caused him to look up. "I'm sorry...I mean, about not having those you love here..." Hesitation before he went on. "She...she died where and when I came from. Marian- my wife. She was killed in my own time. Coming here was a bit of a miracle for me. I guess I look on it as a blessing..."

He hesitated when she asked again, a moment's pause before he gave a nod. "Anything but water, if you have it." Of course, he was still trying to play it safe. The constant reminder of the woman waiting at his apartment...a needed reminder as his libido was proving overactive once again.

She was about to take her shirt off so that she was in her tank top and jeans but she resisted. The guy looked really uncomfortable but she didn't want to say anything.

She laughed. "NO! NO! NO! Its okay, its not your fault." She put her hand on his cheek. "I'm sorry about your wife, but at least here she can't die" She shrugged "And congrats to you and Marian."

She then nodded. "Yeah I have some fruit punch here." She went up and filled a glass with fruit punch and turned around to give it to him when she tripped over something and the red fruit punch spilled onto him and she gave a shocked face. "SHOOT! I'm sooooo sorry. Here let me help you"

Robin was staring at her, trying to look anywhere but her wet shirt- face. Eyes on her face. He smiled and gave a faint nod. "Yes well..let's hope she can't." He cleared his throat, grateful for the alternative. At least, until it spilled into his shirt and lap.

And he blinked as he stood up, laughing a little as she tried to help clean up, his breath stopping as he stared down at her. Damnit. Bad. Bad. Alarms were going off in his head, but before she could touch him, he stepped back, quickly pulling his shirt off along with his jacket, clearing his throat and promising. "It's fine, it's fine...accident and all. And.." His eyes met her own and he smirked. "At least it's cooler now..."

Lena giggled and nodded. "Yeah well, I think she'll be fine. She has you to protect her, a big strong man I have to add." As she went to go and grab more towels.

She was wiping his shirt when he reluctantly took his shirt and jacket off and she looked at him. She met her eyes with his as she wanted to take him there and at that moment. She inched closer and then she turned her head away and laughed. "Yeah it is kind of cooler now."

"I'm not that big or strong..." He smirked and cleared his throat. It was odd. He was shirtless with another woman, who locked eyes with him for a moment..and inched closer.

"Yeah. Cooler." He stared at her, breath stopping a moment. "H-have you heard about the water..?"
